Austin Tejas is a playable character in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock. His setlist is comprised of classic rock songs, much in the vein of predecessors Clive Winston and Xavier Stone. His warrior mode turns him into a headless horseman (much like the Headless Horseman from the Sleepy Hollow tale) with the power, Star Power Amplifier.
Warrior Austin
His name is a pun on "Austin, Texas", using the Spanish pronunciation of the state's name.
Description
- Austin - inexhaustible outlaw - seeks to toss the dross and come across as awesome. Some may call him ostentatious, 'But no,' says he, 'it is a soft j'. - Human form.
- Poor Austin's lost his noggin, but profited a squash in the process. While he was never particularly keen on his kisser, he's really going to miss that hat. - Warrior/Spirit form.
Clothing
Human form
He sports dreads, black shades, a brown-leather hat, and piercings. From the top: he wears a dirty-brown-leather long coat, a chain necklace, a bandolier around his torso, and fingerless gloves with buckles around his wrists. Below him: he wears pants that have brown belts, chains, and buckles around it. Not to mention, he also wears cowboy boots.
Warrior Austin
Warrior form
His transformation is based by the headless horsemen; however, his hands are transparent. He has no head, but he has a spike collar and cloak tied around his 'neck': from there green smoke comes out. He also has chains on his right leg and a jack o' lantern chained around his trousers.
The effect of Austin's transformation transformed his bandmates into "haunted" aristocrats.
