"I was lonelier than Kunta Kinte at a Merle Haggard concert that night I strolled on into Uncle Limpy's Hump Palace lookin' for love.
It had been awhile.
In fact, three hundred and sixty-five had come and went since that midnight run haulin' hog to Shakey Town on I-10.
I had picked up this Hitchhiker that was sweatin' gallons through a pair of Daisy Duke cut-offs and one of those Fruit Of The Loom tank-tops.
Well, that night I lost myself To ruby red lips, milky white skin and baby blue eyes.
Name was Russell."

-- The Bloodhound Gang - "A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When The Stripper Is Crying "

So, back in 2006 or 2007 I had this god awful RP idea I was planning to spring on my former RP partner involving Ryan having made "mistakes" in his cloning process prior to making BEO, at which the clones were going to terrorize BEO's then boyfriend. But for reasons I honestly can't remember, the idea was ultimately dropped, I severed ties with said RP partner, and decided to just completely overhaul my mythos. The multiple clone idea was scrapped.

Fast forwards to November 2012, me and some friends are doing a dungeon run over on Perfect World International. A friend decides to link me to the Bloodhound Gang's "A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When The Stripper Is Crying ", and for some odd reason lead me to wanting to retouch on the old multiple clone idea. So, I ran to idea over with ~IvoryFool who approved of it (since it would be obvious Ryan would have had lots of "Accidents" before BEO came along) and well, the oldest idea I had for the clones "Kyösti" developed.

Dr. Ryan is rather accident prone, and found his own DNA samples degraded far too quickly. So, he flushed all the little "mistake" fetuses down the toilet and decided to start over, and "Project: BEO" commenced with much success...despite another "Accident" Ryan did not realize until years later.

As for those little mistakes he flushed away like so many bad thoughts, they attacked and ate each other not unlike baby sharks until there was only one left, and somehow, in eating his "brothers" Ryan's DNA finally stabilized in this lone survivor.

Meet Kyösti, BEO and Ryanna's "Big Brother" who now lives on Hell-Earth working as a truck driver and tradesman, usually trading off weapons and supplies between human outposts and the military. He does not know Dr. Ryan personally (not remembering his own origins, which is probably for the best) nor does he care to. He's heard of Dr. Ryan, and having people constantly point out resemblances usually leads to being eviscerated through the navel. Sadly, Kyösti doesn't possess his father's diet, so dead bodies go to waste.

It's awesome to see how much your art has grown since I've been out of it. I love what you've done with the background of this... it works so wonderfully well with the image itself. All around awesome.

Thanks. I didn't really retouch the background though aside from some brightness/contrast and a gradient or two. ^.^;

Not quite, he ate the other "mistakes" on the way diwn and that's how how DNA stabilized.

In my head, Kyösti sounds like Jimmy Pop. I blame the song. ^.^;

nother dude who don't know what shirts are for.
I like that he's very different to Ryan and BEO ... in looks at least.
eye patch is a fun touch, is his eye deformed or missing or something else?
looks sorta weird with the fat strap of his eye patch going under his drawn back hairline.

HotaruThodt In reply to IvoryFool [2013-01-04 04:38:42 +0000 UTC]

Eh, I was ging for the 'shirtless hilly in coveralls' look mostly.
Nah, his eye is deformed just like Ryan's, BEO's, and Ryanna's. I just wanted to try something different besides the usual 'emo hair' like I normally give Ryan...or even some Rofocales. I didn't really want to put his hair back in a pony tail and show the deformed eye (since it's light sensitive) so...eyepatch with sexy green glowy lens.
The flap does look odd. I figure he just never takes off the eyepatch and just folds his hair around it. ^.^;

*Reads the title and description* OMG, now that was some weird shit But I like his personality

I like the steampunk inspired look to the character and background a lot. Excellent job on the hair, as always. And that expression on his face, I think my sis and I look like this whenever we meet unpleasant relatives or acquaintances

Dude, go listen to the song. In today's world where musicians glorify sex, the Bloodhound Gang makes you take a step back and laugh at it.
He also seems to have a fetish for tranny hookers. I'm making "Russell" into an actual character now, inspired by the song.

I love me some steampunk.
Thank you, and you know...I think I make a similar face whenever my grandmother decides to hold a family reunion, thankfully the last one was almost eleven years ago.

I'm familiar with many of the Bloodhound Gang's songs but not with this one. But LMAO, it was hilarious! I wonder what Russell will look like

LOL, grandmothers and their attempts to keep the family together. It probably happens in most families. I'm glad at least the 1st and 2nd grade relatives are fine in this family because we gather weekly - I guess I could call those "small scale family reunions"

HotaruThodt In reply to LadyMadCat [2013-01-04 16:20:42 +0000 UTC]

lolz. Pretty much like Russel in described in the song, but he wear a denim hoodie jacket and combat boots.

Ours were large scale, but me and my parents were sort of the black sheep of the family...not that we gave a crap.

I'm familiar with being the black sheep of the family. I've always been stubborn and prone to anger attacks, especially as a child. And, being the black sheep is much better than just being one of the white (or more like grey) ones

A) sounds like this Rp partner is way more awesome!
B) "Eviscerated through the navel" is the greatest way I have ever come across someone being killed. (If murder can be considered "great" ever...)

My Dungeon Run partner? My Dungeon Runner is pretty awesome. I've never laughed so hard awhile dying in a game, meanwhile her boyfriend (who's usually busy healing us) is telling us we're going to Hell.
I couldn't think of a funnier way to die than being eviscerated through the navel. I need to get a little more sleep first before I can think of more.
