I am making a request to the GMod modeling community to model a Klokateer. It seems that a lot of people here on the forums watch the TV show Metalocalypse (If on an off chance you have no idea what this is click here. ).
What Klokateers basically are are the security, servants, and army of the band Dethklok. Essentially, they are the Redshirts of the Dethklok company, as it seems at least a few dozen die every other episode.A Klokateer:
Due to a severe lack of decent descriptive images, here is a JewLube video instead that’s much better:
Description from Wikipedia:
Klokateers are the brutal overseers of the band’s various properties and the roadies for their concerts. They all wear black hoods and black, sleeveless uniforms, and in general resemble medieval executioners; however, certain members dress differently when necessary, such as the pilot of Dethklok’s helicopter, The “Dethcopter”, commonly mistaken for Hatredcopter (Written about on The Dethalbum). Curiously, the submarine used by Dethklok to record their underwater album was crewed by what appeared to be members of the Russian Navy, as opposed to Klokateers. In order to prove their loyalty to Dethklok, Klokateers have a Dethklok emblem branded onto the backs of their necks. They always refer to the members of Dethklok as “my lord(s)” or “my master(s)” and are in turn referred to by their numeric designation. They are killed as frequently as any other people who come into contact with Dethklok.
They obey Dethklok without question, no matter how outrageous their demands may be. They are quick to beat or kill people, with or without orders, and in “Dethcarraldo” gladly pull Dethklok’s very large boat over a nearby mountain at the cost of their lives. In “The Metalocalypse Has Begun,” they function as an army for the band, fighting with swords and other medieval weaponry despite the fact that they carry automatic weaponry and high-powered sniper rifles in their estate. Dethklok’s massive helicopters serve as troop transports for them, dropping hundreds at a time onto the battlefield.
The first use of the term to represent Dethklok’s massive gang of henchmen is in The Dethalbum. In the liner notes, Dethklok states their appreciation of their labor, saying “DETHKLOK would like to thank the tireless work of the Klokateers (see we really are good bosses).” As revealed in “Dethsources,” even before they are officially hired, they are quite likely to die. The episode also features the first use of “Klokateers” within the main series. The entrance exam alone has a mortality rate of fifty percent, as the participants are required to pair up and fight each other to the death with their bare fists. Ofdensen mentions that, by the time they are made official Klokateers, most will likely have been maimed or killed. Their living conditions are said to be so horrible that their corpses are stuffing the sewer system, much to the dislike of a visiting health inspector, although it is unlikely that things will change, since Nathan and Murderface convinced the health inspector that the extremely poor and deadly working conditions are very “metal.”
So, would it be possible to make a player model or NPC, or at the very least a good ragdoll of a Klokateer?
