To understand me, you should understand where I come from, including some of the classic characters or ideas that have occupied my mind over time.

I usually view myself as the manifestation of something much greater and more important or powerful, since it helps give me motivation to do more than I would ever be able to otherwise. It removes the uncertainty of if my efforts will be worth it. I must fulfill whatever my ultimate purpose is, so I will stop at nothing to get there. It is not an option, it is just what must be done. If I am not fueled by human desires, then I may surpass human limitations. It may sound silly but it has truly worked for me for most of my life. If you want to think like me, continue reading.

ADOS

The original drawing of ADOS was somewhat accidental. I wanted to draw something on the envelope of my best friend’s graduation card, but I had no ideas so I just doodled and this is what I ended up with. It wasn’t until almost a year later that I was crafting my new identity and needed an original character to build off of, and I came across this face. I quickly fell in love with how it looked after cleaning it up, so I’ve been building on it since.

If it wasn’t obvious, ADOS is Soda backwards. It is an acronym for “All-Devouring Omnipotent Sludge”. As a former universal destroyer and creator, he could do anything, but would rather spend time focused on things irrelevant in the grand scale. No need to rush eternity, so he currently inhabits my brain as the God of snack-based knowledge.

ADOS refers to the sludge itself. The yellow head is only a vessel to store the infinite amount of black goo inside. It is a shell like a hermit crab in a way, however ADOS needs no protection. The sludge is a sentient, omnipotent manifestation of knowledge. The true volumes of it are contained in an outer dimension, which the shell contains a portal to. Anything which comes into contact with this slime, is immediately broken down into the form of information, and is assimilated into the greater mass of knowledge.This effect extends beyond just physical matter, but also thoughts, concepts, antimatter, or anything else that could be translated into information.

It is boundless, outerdimensional, and unthreatened by any other universal force.

So basically, ADOS solos any verse.

Devour

The word “Devour” is the final form of a mantra I have been using for a very long time. Originally, I liked the sound of the phrase “eat the weak”. For me, “the weak” referred to any problem I faced. All I had to do was look at it as something weak, something below me, and it would become easier to accomplish. I stuck to this mindset all through school, and it gradually became “Devour the weak” instead, since it was more accurate to the brutality I put into every task I completed. Every test I took, I didn’t just pass, I DEVOURED it. Eventually I recognized that the biggest problems in life can’t be thought of as weak, but I would have to devour them just the same. So now the lone word “Devour” represents everything I need to uphold my relentless, undying motivation.

If by the end of my career the word Devour is widely associated with me and my company, then I will feel my goals have been overwhelmingly accomplished. ADOS is a personification of the word, and I am the means by which he spreads it.

I have never met anyone else with a similar thought process, but if you have any similar mantras or beliefs I would love to discuss it.

That is my vanity plate, and if you were wondering, “On There” is an obscure Sam Hyde reference.
