Dexy (also known as Dex, Adam, and Mariorocks21) is an MFGGer who joined Mario Fan Games Galaxy on September 4th, 2006 and the MFGG Forums on September 6th, 2006 under the username Mariorocks21. He is a notorious artist and spriter who is very talented and has won several Sprite Competitions and Drawing Competitions over the years. He is a generally likable guy who often browses the Arts Board and was involved the Community Fangame Project.

Before the Invision forums moved to phpBB, Dexy started to be a tad more active and contributed to many topics in the Casual Conversation Castle and the Arts Board. When the boards moved, he joined as "Dex," but later events would change that name into something much more iconic.

Dexy became the local moderator of the Arts Board on June 2nd, 2010. He became Main Site Comment Moderator on June 17th, 2010. On October 6th, 2010, Dexy was promoted to Administrator, although he quit a month later on November 3rd, 2010, saying that the administrator of a fangaming site should be an active fangamer.

Curiously, while Dex was never very active on the MFGG Main Site, he technically remained a comment mod (albeit an inactive one) until July 31st, 2015, when VinnyVideo challenged Mors to find inactive staff members on the main site.

Early start

Dexy started off looking for Mario games and such. He saw a site called: MFGG.net, and soon wiki'd what a sprite was. After learning, he put a lot of effort into spriting, mainly Mario sprites, and finally he decided to search the internet to see if others did the same thing he did. He came across the words: Message Board. Hesitant about joining, he made his username something stupid, and left it as Mariorocks21. His first sprite he uploaded to the MFGG Main Site was a Super Smash Bros. Mario called Custom Mario, and even though it wasn't very good at all, he was received as a generally likable new member.

Mariorocks21 still had no idea how to change his username on the MFGG Main Site, so he created a new account on February 2nd, 2007 under the username Dexy, which he still uses to this day. His old account is here: Marioman21

Friendships

His first friend on MFGG was Josiah. When he joined the forums, he looked up to Josiah, and they became very close friends. He's talked with Josiah since, and they've both become a lot better a pixel-art and drawing. He has also made friends with other MFGGers such as Bacteriophage, Zero Kirby, GeneralGuy, Fender, Marth, Chaoxys, Max Rider, stanleyscup07, Hatman, Glukom, Badassbill, Fuzzy, Shanks, DavidCaruso, Char, RetroX, Shawn, Tyvon, OSM, Kyori, Mechant, Twistendo, and many others.

MFGG Wrestling

Dexy debuted at the MFGG Wrestling topic on a wonderful day, getting information wrong. He worked hard in matches to receive the SVH title. He lost the title to Suigi. He joined XD after defeating Kid Koopa (in his fifth match), a friendly rival.

On January 22nd, 2007, at MFGG Winter Storm, Dexy and Captain Jeff Silvers defeated Doc Wario and Julio Cesar F. Kid Koopa congratulated Dexy and Captain Jeff Silvers. MFGG Wrestling then kind of disappeared and Dexy moved on, of course.

Participation in "The Void"

On a lonesome day on MFGG, in the Casual Conversation Castle, Dexy, who was at his aunts, ironically, at the time, sat with nothing to do but browse MFGG. It was a good day, however, to be browsing, as suddenly, the CCC was altered drastically into The Void. This started the Life on MFGG event. Dexy actively posted in tons of the topics, intrigued by the mysterious events, and hoping to find some sort of solution to the problem. When it was revealed that Evil Space Techokami was the culprit, Dex, and a team of rag-tag ruffians decided to take on the antagonist with full force. Despite their attempts, the CCC was capsized. It was later returned to normal.

The Bard

The Bard was a former dupe of Dex's. He was created with the intent of helping the forum, and was an instant icon. The Bard's guise is no longer used on the forums, except during the 2010 Halloween event.
