Rex is, at heart, a total little shit. He was one of those kids as a cadet, always messing with people and getting in trouble and sassing the trainers. When he was promoted in the field, he kind of had to shut all that down, especially since he was under Anakin, and SOMEONE had to be the adult around here. Especially at the beginning, he tried to be all Protocol and No Nonsense, but he’ll always be a little shit, deep down, and after he got comfortable with Anakin, the real Rex started to come back out. But now when he pulls pranks, they’re much more subtle, and never traced back to him. Or they look like something totally legit, with coincidental hilarious consequences. He learned how to mock and sass with a straight face, 100% compliant to protocol. When Fives finally figured out that the stick up Rex’s ass was actually Rex’s cover for being even worse than Fives, his respect for Rex skyrocketed. And he figured out how to rope Rex into his shenanigans without Rex having to break his Captain Face. Rex doesn’t hold Fives back, Rex EGGS HIM ON. Most of Torrent is aware that there are two Captain Rex’s: Captain Rex who’ll kick your ass for backtalking him like that and straighten your pauldron, trooper, and Captain Rex, who, if you see him “talking strategy” with ARC trooper Fives, you get the hell away from them both for as long as you can.
