Character: amialido amdodo
Amialido "Lido" Amdodo is an armadillo created by Lendri Mujina strongly influenced by the silent cartoon era.
Narratively speaking, he was created in 1917 by an injured World War I veteran, where he starred in numerous cartoons and adaptations over the following century. In reality, he was created in 2022, his name coming from nonsense text while experimenting with AI generation . He was designed for the purpose of being relatively easy to draw, his body consisting mostly of rounded, flexible shapes.
He wears a bow tie only, and can curl into a ball to move faster. He typically gets along with everyone, but can have a snobbish, selfish outlook at times. He cares deeply about his best friend and girlfriend Shielle Spineback, who frequently accompanies — or initiates — his misadventures.
Originally only drawn in black-and-white to reflect the time period he debuted in, his color scheme was decided by Telem.
