Description Edit: Version2
Simplified design. The color scheme and overall look should reflect the character he was based off of more. It should also make him easier to draw.

Caldwell Dore
Pronounced Call-de-well

Caldwell is the disinherited fifth son of a wealthy, powerful English family. All the land and money is scheduled to go to his four older brothers, and Caldwell will be left penniless.

As the fifth son, his duty is merely to enrich the Family through marriage. However, he has adamant about rejecting all the local English girls, as well as the Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, Irish, Polish, Norwegian, Hungarian, Swedish, Russian, Scottish, and Portuguese ladies. Therefore, his parents have set their eyes on the growing Asian empire, and Caldwell has been sent to Japan (to find a nice, high-ranking wife and create a firm foothold for the Family). Caldwell only agreed to go because he heard that they are developing some fine new weaponry over there.

He has been very interested in technology since he was young. Caldwell enjoys keeping up on all the latest technology and always carries tools with him. For a 20-year-old, he is much more interested in machines than women, which is to say, not at all (it's because he's stuck in the mindset of elementary school forever, where girls = cooties). He uses a musket of the newest design, too bad he has terrible aim with those weak little arms of his. The knife is a last resort (he usually uses it for eating).

His other ambition (besides to make the first flying machine) is to regain his fortune through very evil and very genius ways. It is unfortunate he is not very good at either of these things - he is still perfecting his evil smile, and is cursed with the compulsive need to spew formalities.

I see no mention in there of Duderic helping him out with his sexuality issues! Where is that bit?

What the hell, odd. I, unlike you, do not feel the need to announce every fling he has to the general public! (And Cad's not gay. He was drunk, and Dud pretty much raped him! Also, he's in denial about the whole matter.)

*Very* interesting back story! I'd love to see a comic about this guy, perpetually juvenile or no. XD
(Most of the men I know from school never grew up past thirteen, so somehow this fellow isn't much of a surprise, har har).
Very fond of his costume, you've got a good eye for the right details in period costumes.

That little gnawing thing...is that... a squirrel? o_0

Serain In reply to Momo-mole [2008-06-05 05:42:13 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I've had a couple duels with him and people seem to like him. I did a lot of initial research on period costumes, but I ended up scrapping most of that anyway in order for a cleaner, more modern look.

Indeed it is a squirrel. I needed to give him something to look at XD

Eh, his personality didn't transfer over to SDL well anyway. The idea is, he's not actually evil... but he wants to be evil. It's his greatest dream to be just like Mr. Seles. However, he fails miserably XD

Serain In reply to Orange-Castle [2008-06-06 04:41:38 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, he is kind of like that, in a nutshell XD. But in my mind, he's also brave and cunning and secretly an idealist. I guess it's kind of obvious I haven't figured him out myself XD

The-Russian-Gestapo [2008-03-01 03:23:12 +0000 UTC]

Being British, I'm guessing that his approach to the language barrier is to simply yell whatever he's trying to get across louder.

Serain In reply to The-Russian-Gestapo [2008-03-01 06:11:36 +0000 UTC]

Luckily I haven't done a duel where there would be a significant barrier yet. I figured he'd try sign language and wild pointing after yelling. Hey, you just gave me a joke in case I ever need to use it in a duel XD

It's nice to see another British/English character I like his background ... a lot more original than the one I gave mine >_< Very cool, one of my SDL favorites!

Serain In reply to Greyflame [2008-01-14 08:48:24 +0000 UTC]

Caldwell is a very silly character, most of the ideas I had for his background came up when I was researching the old English symbols for family crests and their meanings! It's a lot easier for me to create a bio for my character when I know the background of his time already. If you like him, check out the duel with him that I just did

Tofubeast [2008-01-10 00:14:55 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm, he seems interesting. His 'rents are trying to get him interested in Asian women? Good luck, seeing as the lineup in the SDL is quite the group of tough gals. (including my own scarfaced pr0n-obsessed bitch XD)

Nice character design!

Serain In reply to Tofubeast [2008-01-10 01:16:45 +0000 UTC]

He figures that he'll just propose to someone and get it over with quickly to shut his parents up. Simple minded fool, he is.

Serain In reply to dire-musaera [2007-12-27 08:41:05 +0000 UTC]

What is this calendar you speak of... and how terrible will the bishification be? He's kinda bishie already, though not lawr's brand of long-hair-pretty eyes-feminine-jaw bishie.

I hope that calendar thing isn't what it sounds like, cause it sounds like she's going to take a bunch of SDL characters and have them sit around a sauna mostly naked and spanking each other... or whatever she cooks up in that little yaoified mind of hers.

I love his character design and description. "adamant about rejecting all the local English girls, as well as the Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, Irish, Polish, Norwegian, Hungarian, Swedish, Russian, Scottish, and Portuguese ladies."

LOL!! Have fun at this. :3

I would challenge you to a single panel duel, or a single page one or something. If you want anything longer, I probably ought to wait till after New Years.

Serain In reply to genesischant [2007-12-21 03:04:00 +0000 UTC]

A page/panel is the perfect length for me 8D I couldn't do anything longer myself. I'm pretty open right now, if you're still interested let me know.
