Hey, everybody! I posted something dark! I'm so dark and something is wrong with me so I'm taking advice and I'm going to use sticks and bricks to KILL MYSELF!!!

Anyway...

Here is the last official picture of 2010 (even though I still have a small backlog of pieces from 2010 I need to post), depicting an old character of mine from 2001 named Shrapnel (Yes that is his real name and I'm not changing it). I originally created him to serve as a relative of a character belonging to my Ex-boyfriend, so he shares some attributes with that character (that is, if my Ex even still draws and writes stories like he used to). Thanks to ~BlackDove42 Shrapnel has some new origins. She also suggested I give Shrapnel something like a "Double Shoulder Socket," which made the alignment (or lack thereof) of his arms a little easier to draw. besides, if Hindu people can do it (a la Shiva), then so can I, right?

I don't see Shrapnel and *screamin-jazzy 's Joshua Craig getting along well at all. Yay! Mortal Enemiesez!

Shrapnel hails from a semi-aquatic and rather amorous four-armed race known as the Kardozo, who have origins via Alchemy in Venice during the Italian Renaissance. Over the centuries, the Kardozo have migrated to every [warm] corner of the Earth, usually taking residence in sewers or along shorelines in seaside caves. They never revealed themselves to humans simply because humans fear what they do not understand.

When the first wave of Apocalypse came to pass, the Kardozo found they no longer had a reason to hide, and begin work as bodyguards and concubines for the rich and powerful.

While not interested in him sexually, the Anti-Christ known as Damien Lucifer hired the Kardozo known as Shrapnel to be one of two personal bodyguards when his Four Horsemen were out culling the planet for renegade Neo-Children. He was impressed by Shrapnel's ability to immobilize his opponent with his pheromone and then flay them alive in a matter of seconds.

If there's enough interest, I may allow people to make their own Kardozo, but you have to follow certain guidelines when it comes to appearance.

Extra Information

His pheromones have never worked and probably never will work on Hotaru. This is probably due to her being part machine...or her Nanites.

Also, Shrapnel's pheromones will not work on Morpheus, possibly because his mutated "Metafluke" genes have rendered him one of the Living Dead. The same can be said for other denizens of the "Living Dead" such as Nurse Carla, Hughbert Gallowsmere, and Mateo HallowAxe.

On the other hand, when/if Dr. Ryan is exposed to Shrapnel's pheromones, he is driven into an uncontrollable rage (and STILL no boner; only Mel can do that) at which he tries to kill his target (i.e Shrapnel himself) as well as anyone unlucky enough to get in his way.

An overdose of Kardozo pheromone CAN kill a normal human in seconds (since being exposed to Kardozo pheromones is the equivalent of an Ecstasy trip).

Is has been theorized by multiple scientists that, if Shrapnel and Felicity ever had sex, the mixing of their pheromones would create a "Super Plague" that would wipe out the entire Earth's population, including humans, demons, and animals, Most Sea-Life, and most Plant Life.

Sexy!
Definitely wouldn't want to fight him...
1. He looks bad ass
2. He has FOUR bladed arms
3. And it looks like he knows how to use them! XD

hm... you know I am your friend and I just want to help... lol *couldn't help myself*

I like the name Shrapnel!! And I LOVE this piece! The clean lines and the coloring... and he is gorgeous! I love the blades also and the double socket was a great idea I love the positioning of the arms... hm... did I say LOVE enough? XP

Really, I am very impressed with this piece and the back story is very interesting... I think it would be fun to create Kardozo... if I ever found time... but I like the amorous piece and I can almost picture a very slu... *cough*... um sexually driven woman... hm

lolz. I know and sometimes its advisable to give advice, especially when given by a friend.

I really don't know why I named him Shrapnel since it was back in 2001 so I can't remember. I think he's rather cute myself.

I loosely based their um, amorous habits on those of bonobos, but with some notable difference, such as no incest and Kardozo will not have sex with a non-adult. Then there's the fact that they will do the deed with people outside of their own race, as long as they're humanoid.

Hey, if you want to make your own Kardozo, I can give you some basics of traits shared by all members of their race.

SailorDarkness In reply to HotaruThodt [2011-01-01 15:21:21 +0000 UTC]

lol, I think Shrapnel fits with all of the blades and metal. XP

I am glad to hear they have a little more limits one what they will do than bonobos. ^^

hm... the more I think about it the more I do want to make my own Kardozo. *Oh god help me another project* -_-'' I would love the hear the basic traits shared by the race. Thanks! ^_^

HotaruThodt In reply to SailorDarkness [2011-01-01 15:38:54 +0000 UTC]

lolz. Thanks. I never really thoght of it that way.

But yeah, they are a bit more limited, and they also have little cultural quicks. Like when they reach adulthood, they usually move to another colony. This mixes up the gen pool a bit.

Okay, send me a note so I can give you some ideas as for appearance traits.

Thank you. I was actually going to use that pose for my OC Anarchy, but it worked much better for Shrapnel here.

Exactly, hence one of the reasons Kardozo make good lovers.
