0R1G1NS - A PIECE BY NESSGRAPHICS DEDICATED TO THE MAD PUPS IN EVERY SENSE OF THE PHRASE -
The Mad Pups: Born from the streets and highrises in the NFT space and Nifty Gateway discord, the foundational bond among uniquely talented visionaries now guides the future.
The sum of all parts being greater than the whole, this is their story.
-Sergito-
Sergito.eth aka “El Jefe De Melón Dulce of Wall Street”
Special Power - The Ultimate Flex
Weakness - Women
Sergito was not always the slick-witted hombre de negocios suave and master of all things finance and crypto that he is today. Recently leaked footage of "eth.ito" showed him roaming the sands of Playa Bagdad wearing only a white turtleneck and a leopard-print bañador with a small punk pin fastened to the groin. He is known throughout the region for his vast collection of dried coconut shells and metal soda caps, found by his duct-taped metal detector that he aggressively wields and waves back and forth during the night. When questioned about his actions, El Jefe refused to explain his intentions but was agitated. The clip showed him turning away and pinching his thumb and fingers together, kind of like a sock puppet without the sock if you will. The only audible sounds are self-proclaimed "alpha" about a new pfp collection and token created to celebrate his fascination with soda bottle caps and coconut shells, called "$SOSONUTS" that will bring everyone to Valhalla. Since the failed launch of that project, Sergito devoted himself to not failing ever again, at anything, period.
-Sven-
Sven.eth, aka "Sven Soderbergh," otherwise known throughout the metaverse as "Sven."
Special Move - The Svengali Stare
Weakness - Sensitivity
Sprouted from the streets of NYC, Sven is quite simply a savory samaritan. Sven is satiated by scoping out the space to sniff out what seems legit while separating the several scams shilled so that the sheeple remain safe, whether via direct sales or secondary. Some suspect Sven to have single-handedly certified the secure sending of a seriously significant sack of SOS. Without said signal of safety, so many in the space would've suspiciously suspected whether or not some swindling took place for seed phrases and savings. Sven's scientific strategy for ascertaining the most solid of signals in the space is said to be self-taught, but the consistent series of surgical successes speak to the school of thought that supports that perhaps Sven is a savant. Screenshots of his sexy but sophisticated smoking ape slanted to the side, the profile pic seemingly speaks of sensational selflessness that is exceptionally scarce. Since seeing his supporters' sentiments, Sven vows to never settle for anything less than success.
-WSavas-
WSavas aka wsavas.eth aka "The King of Kings."
Special Move - Ability to transfer more ETH than most within seconds
Weakness - Scantily Clad Cyborg Apes Wearing Crowns and Capes
Wsavas.eth does not just pump his fists with the best of them; he also pumps more ETH into rock-solid NFTs than lip filler into the mouths of the ladies that put New Jersey on the map for singlehandedly consuming the most filler in the United States. Joining the space in 2009, this bullish beast coined the term "We are so early" because he was the only one in the space before it existed and has been waiting for everyone else to catch up. There are times in life when it might very well be wise to question others and to form your own opinions of what to do and when to do it. Still, if you think it best to ask wsavas, you're better off tattooing your seed phrase on your forehead and streaking through Central Park while claiming that you are a vessel of the lord, our god. To those suggesting nothing great ever came from New Jersey, wsavas challenges that reality. HE bodies everything beautiful in the world. Many proclaim the etymology of waves traces back to the saying "he will save us all." However, there are also conflicting accounts suggesting wsavas can mean "he will w right-click save us," do DYOR.
-Barry-
Barry aka BitcoinBarry aka “The Pastrami Impaler”
Special Move - The Pastrami Pamp
Weakness - Pastrami
Many suggest that with a name like BitcoinBarry, simply zero chills are given on all accords. Barry starred in his show as a young Barry, titled "BitcoinBarry Meets World." Faced with constant temptation, he persevered and trusted his instincts. He went bullish on all things cryptocurrency and delicatessens. It was not until that moment in March of 2019 when Barry found himself at the crossroads of Bitcoin vs. ETH while sitting in a booth at Katz Diner. To outsiders, Barry looked like everyone else that frequented fine delicatessens. Surprising the Matzoh Balls off of his enemies was what he did best. Barry puts the F in LFG and Gefilte, and his brainpower remains unmatched. That is, as long as he never forgets his prescription shampoo and body wash for extra-sensitive skin and regularly "tames the beast" that courses through his veins with his favorite dish, the Bitcoin Brisket.
-DarfV8R-
Darf aka DarfV8R.eth aka “Lord HailMutt”
Special Move - The Dangleburt Humperdinck
Weakness - Converting Fiat to Cryptocurrency
As one of the more intriguing in the pack, it was not long ago that he did not know the difference between dollars and ETH. Growing up in the shadow of his father, Luke, DarfV8R was never comfortable in his own helmet. Groomed to become the most heinous villain that the NFT space ever fathomed, Darf was conflicted. Adding to the seething inner turmoil, Darf's name was V8R because of the seven other brothers that came before him, all of whom seemingly expected to restore chaos to the multiverse. There was something different about Darf, the 8th - the intensity at which he experienced emotions, specifically when dealing with love and vulnerability. Lord HailMutt broke the mold that the dark side intended for him, and along with it, all societal norms and expectations. He then learned to harness the power of love to be an agent of change for those who needed it most. Even still, DarfV8R.eth does not know what NFTs are, nor does he understand the difference between ETH or any other currency used to procure them. However, that is the beauty of his unique 1/1 soul - he is a masterful and artful performer on a stage he was engineered for. Not because he had anything to do with it, but because he leads naturally with everything he was designed to ignore - innocence and heart.
-Darran-
Darran aka Darran.eth aka “Darren-Dolph Lundgren”
Special Move - The Mojave Machiatto
Weakness - Denim Jorts
Originally a teenage amnesiac with superpowers known only to the AIM and MySpace worlds, it wasn't long before Darran found himself called to a higher purpose. He avenged the death of his childhood best friend, who also happened to be a hugely obese albino that inspired the script for the IRL “Hunger Games” Movie. The world had bigger plans for Darran.eth. Alone, Darran was known by hisa alias, Dolph Lundgren, but that was only during the daytime and on Wednesday evenings. The rest of the weeknights required that Darran became an entirely different type of masked marauder. Which was why he took on the self-proclaimed one actual identity - Chauncey The Ice-Man Billups Throttlebottom, Jr. Dolph during the day and Chauncey by most nights, there was a personality conflict that required immediate resolve. Enter stage right, crypto, NFTs, and all things games and fintech. Darran put down the other personalities and instead went with the least awkward one. As a result, he has made some consecutively significant decisions (other than dropping the Throttlebottom and Dolph names).
-Justron-
Justron aka Justron aka “Justron”
Special Powers - The ability to be Justron
Weakness - Limited imagination
Justron is elusive. No one truly knows if his name is Justin, Tron, or Ron, which is precisely why he is so dangerous. There are reportedly times when even Justron himself doesn't know who he truly is, and it is because of that eternal search for truth that he has found his home in the NFT space today. He is universally loved, yet at the same time, universally unknown. There are rumors that he very likely uses gel to hold up the front of his hair, but no one knows for sure. Flying under the radar for this pup is an understatement, so much so that the movie "Catch Me If You Can" was loosely written based on the life-long chase of personal identity.
-Joff-
Joff aka “Joffee Koolata”
Special Powers - "The One-Knight Stand"
Weakness - Sergito
In every motley crew, at least one person bends reality to turn the ideas of those that are often dubbed creatives into executable plans. This person is Joff. Thankfully for the pups, Joff brings an element of class and sophistication simply by hailing from "across the pond." For every group of idiots, there is also an intelligent person who makes everyone look like they have it together. Some suggest that person is the one and only Joff. When most children in Joff's class were trying to decide where they would hide their boogers, Joff was daydreaming about how to create a Merkle Tree with all of the "less-intelligent" twits around him. He wrote the book "The Node To Nowhere" when he was 13, which was featured as a NY Times bestseller and is what inspired the movies "The Imitation Game" and "The DaVinci Code." Some even suggest that the entire Terminator series was based on a bot created by Joff, so sophisticated that an eventual war between machine and humans that Joff himself saved.
