Arttimo apologizes for anything Praedius says that might be offending - he really can't help it. |

| Antisocial? That's what they say. I don't believe them. I just keep to myself mostly. The way I used to live? Well that was a long time ago. I've forgotten about it. You want me to tell you? Why? It's not that interesting. If I tell you, what's in it for me? A trophy maybe? A site spotlight award or something? Or you just want me to amuse you...
feh. Alright. Fine. But if you find this interesting, there's something wrong with you. I was created by the human arttimo, which kinda makes me sound like some kind of freakish experiment. There were plans to paint me shadow ever since I was born a blue
gelert, but eventually I was painted grey. Anyway, I was given a krawk as my first petpet, much to my dismay. It was an ugly thing, and I wondered why they were so expensive. I didn't want it, but I took it anyway. It was given the name
Tharororn, which is nearly impossible to pronounce, but fun to type. We forgot about transforming it though, and it remained as my petpet for a while. During the time I had it, arttimo adopted a white grundo called
Mactosius. Mactosius was a moron. Couldn't stand him. What was worse is that when Tharororn was finally transformed into a neopet, she was a moron too. Both had the IQ of a brick. Their stats put it nicely: "dim-witted," they were called. That was an understatement. They were morons. I was an intelligent anthro gelert living with two insane creatures who took a joy in destroying my personal possessions. I hated every minute of it. After a little while... about a month or so... Kirodorn arrived. He was evil to the core, and a relief from the insanity that engulfed my life. At first he was just like any darigan
zafara... a few grunts and hisses here and there were the only communication, and he made a habit of eating everything he could get his claws on. Then came the turning point in all of our lives: the lab ray. I can't tell you from personal experience what it feels like to be zapped since I've never had the joy of doing it myself. I was painted normally and not by the lab ray. Anyway, Mactosius was the first to be zapped. He was put under lab ray treatment for three months, and eventually came out entirely different than when he went in. For one thing, he was a female. That I laughed at when I heard the news. What I didn't laugh at is that she was also a darigan
zafara. Now there were two evil zafaras to destroy my stuff. Lovely. I quickly retreated to my room and stayed there for several days. I learned that within that time, Tharororn was spending her days reading. She had become quite intelligent, and all the
darigan-ness in the house had rubbed off on her. She was nearly as ruthless as them. Kirodorn was jealous of Mactosius though, since she had become more threatening than him because of her stat increases during lab ray treatment. He decided to take on the ray himself. It intended to turn him island, but his will was too strong and it stopped halfway. He's what he calls
island/darigan... and he's pleased with it. Two colors at once. Heck, I'd be too. Several months later, Tharororn, after several unfulfilled paint brush wishes, was painted
Tyrannian. Just as evil as her zafara siblings, she's something to be feared. And now... I'm stuck in a house full of insanity. Can't say I don't enjoy it because there isn't a dull moment here. I can't remember the last time a day was boring. I will say though that I think I'm the only sane one. The others are crazy. I wouldn't be surprised if they all devoured each other someday... I really wouldn't. As for myself, I try to stay away from them as much as I can. I don't plan on getting myself caught up in their squabbles. I grew up avoiding them, and as a result I have a habit of avoiding most other people. Does that make me antisocial? No. I grew up that way. Can't blame me for that. Despite my avoidance of almost everyone, I have an incredible fan base. I don't know why. I don't know why they come after me. Why me? I don't... know. I took part in the beauty contest for a long time. I won a bunch of trophies in it... most of which were gold. I had humans crawling over each other to grab locks of my hair. It was frightening. And painful. I got into the art gallery once, too. Unfortunately, I had been drawn as a fuzzy puppy. Yes, I was tearing up a
plushie. No, I was not cute. Yet I was still called cute. I was disgusted. Bleh. Up until now, I've managed to avoid being brutally mauled by
fangirls. I'm not interesting. I'm not wonderful. My personality is yuck. And I'm not cute. I have no idea why you're still reading this, either. Don't you have anything better to do? Really... |
Beauty
Contest Entry:
 Lookit I got a news box. Go me. 3.28.08
- Oh no, not again! It's the dreaded beauty contest...! And I'm in it! Noooooo! 3.15.08
- Just when Arttimo was sure she was ready to sever ties with this place and move on, TNT played their trump card. Side accounts are allowed back in the beauty contest! Looks like we'll
be here a little longer than we thought. Whew. I thought I was a goner there for a little while... 12.23.07
- Arttimo seems to be losing a slight amount of interest in this place it seems... I sure hope she doesn't forget about me. It sure would help if the pound was back up, but who
knows when that will happen? We've cleaned up the page a bit to make it load faster maybe... the fanart section was overcrowded so it's been taken
down. Not that anyone really visits anymore, anyway. Old news cleared. Again. |
Violators of art/html theft will be reported and frozen.
Bwahaha. If you see someone with my art/html on their petpage, let arttimo know.  | Above is a picture of me. Don't I seem like just the happiest gelert in the world? Uh... right. I bet you think I'm nice, too. Adding to that, you probably aren't going to listen when I say I'm not. So... since I'm sOOo nice, I'm sure lots of girls would love to be my girlfriend. Well don't ask. I'll poke you in the eye. So there. Feel free to wander around aimlessly, as if there's anything else to do. Or, you could not scroll down. Your choice, really. |
Old BC and AG pictures. Whoopee. I'm pretty. DO NOT USE ANY OF THESE ON ANY OF YOUR PAGES. THEY ARE NOT YOURS TO USE. Not only must arttimo embarrass me in the beauty contest, but she also thinks it a GREAT idea to put me in the Neopian Times as well. Isn't she generous? Among Little Wits - Talk about creepy...

Click their picture to visit their page. And for the record, you can't ask to be on my family list. Are you my family? No. ((Family
is a term that Arttimo uses... I'm not really blood-related to any of them. Come on. They're all completely different species.)) Arttimo tortures quite a number of us, really. So kind of her.
(Keep in mind that any custom images in this section are made by Arttimo and are not for public use.)
Arttimo
is my "owner" I guess, but really, I own myself. She simply provides my food and shelter. When she's not drawing or loafing around in her Spiderman socks, she's... uh...
Well that's pretty much all she does. |
Mactosius
is, without a doubt, the most insane zafara I have ever met. Her past is a strange one, and it has left her with a very miniscule amount of sanity. She used to deal in potions and once had plans to
take over Neopia, but as her mental stability went downhill, so did her ability to continue with either of those things. |
Kirodorn
is Mactosius' brother. He's prone to violent mood swings, fits of jealousy, emo moments, and is just an overall unpredictable kind of guy. He has a pretty short fuse and is easily upset, so avoiding
him (especially on a bad day) is a good idea.
| Tharororn
is a living example of recessive genes in action. She originally came from Maraqua, and her parents were both Maraquan krawks. Somehow... don't ask me how... she ended up being a land dweller like the
rest of us. She has fins, but they're pretty much useless. Oh, and an affinity for sand sculptures. | |
Ellexias
is my self-proclaimed girlfriend. Self-proclaimed. That means she says she is when she's really not. She's not my girlfriend, she's not my sister, she's not related to me in any way. She's happy and
bubbly all the time and we don't get along very well at all, regardless of what she might say. Don't believe her lies!
|
Arttimo
designed my hairstyle after Elebrafe's. That's pretty much all I know about her. I've only met her once or twice. I have no idea how she holds her head up with those massive ears. |
Iaktu
is Elebrafe's twin brother, and an all around gamer. You name it, he's good at it. His current obsession has to do with guitars... he's never seen without his customized controller for it. He's far too talkative for me... but if he wasn't such a motormouth we'd probably get along okay.
(Custom image coming...
eventually.) |
Dduatta
is Elebrafe and Iaktu's younger sister. Apparently, she was separated from her family for a while but was able to find her way back despite being blind. She shares the same giant ears trait as her
sister. I'm glad I'm not an acara. | Elence is a prince, but not too many know about it. He prefers solitude over the lifestyle of one who is to be king. He doesn't like the attention he receives, and tries to escape it as often as possible by sneaking out to be alone atop
the mountains by his kingdom. Apparently the air is fresher there or something... or maybe it's the blistering cold that keeps others away.
|
Lagerinas
is the aisha that Mactosius captured back when she was still sane. She was given a potion that released her evil half, which created ShadowLagerinas. She doesn't talk very much anymore, and tends to
avoid confrontations (especially with zafaras). | |
Jadeyr...
I really don't have much to say about him. He's pretty much everything I'm not. He's a womanizing, boisterous, extremely open kyrii with an affinity for the outdoors and a knack for getting what he
wants most of the time. I avoid him.
| Proctoru
is the son of Jadeyr and Maerunis. He was brought up in a weird household. He seems very lonely and distant, and has a tendency to keep things bottled up inside. He talks to his petpet a lot as an
equal rather than a pet. | Xyeniko
is Proctoru's guiding light, so to speak. She pretty much keeps him from doing harm to himself by keeping him company when he's lonely or getting him to talk when something's on his mind.
(Custom
image coming... eventually.) |
|
Ugh.
This is Kirodorn's ugly creation, Embellishments. Fancy name for such a disgusting heap of rags. He's made from old fabric scraps and stuffed with dustballs. He can't move anything but that one creepy
eye... and he'll watch your every move if you're in the same room.
|
Maerunis
once told me she was cursed, so I avoid her as much as I can. Tch. I don't want to catch it, would you? Despite my avoidance of her, she hangs around quite a bit. Not around me personally, but she's
very fond of my spdyer Vash. She should get a spyder of her own and leave mine alone.
(Custom image coming... eventually.)
|
Yaiau...
I can't say that name around Mactosius without her going bonkers on me. Yaiau led the army that defeated Mactosius while she was trying to take control of Neopia. I heard she died. I've never met her.
(Custom
image coming... eventually.) |
|
Nikokyn
is Yaiau's younger brother. Mactosius has an interest in him for some reason. Can't imagine what that would be. Probably another "darkness in the soul" thing like with Lagerinas. That's just
a guess.
| Dochuki was once a prince, but he wasn't to be king. Jealous of his older brother Elence, the rightful heir to the throne, he devised a plan to get rid of him. The plan backfired, and, terminally wounded, he fled to the Haunted Woods so he wouldn't be discovered. He died there in the woods, but was soon discovered by Mactosius, who was able to give new life to his spirit in exchange for his servitude. So I guess he's not really dead,
but he's not alive either.
(Custom image coming... eventually.) | |
ShadowLagerinas
was created from Lagerinas by Mactosius. Her yellow eyes are quite eerie... whenever one of my pairs of pants go missing, I automatically suspect her. She has a similar taste in clothing.
|
Piraktos
is... well I don't really know what Piraktos is. I do know he's Deemontai's best friend. He's got a strange accent of sorts but I can't place it. I don't know where he came from. Half the time I can't
even understand what in Neopia he's talking about.
(Custom image coming... eventually.) |
|
Deemontai's
not that unpleasant a guy. Bit quirky, strange... can't really help but stare at his lip piercing. He's got an odd way of talking and a penchant for the sky. He's got this belief that he had a past
life where he could fly, so he's trying to build a flying machine. ...right. I guess a good thing about him is he's got a similar taste
in music. Yeah Twisted Roses.
| |
I don't know
much about Mhaverick yet. Seems like an okay guy though. He's staying in our guest room for now, and when I say staying, I mean staying. He hardly ever comes out to talk to any of us. Maybe that's why we're able to get along.
