Biography

PERIDOT IS HIS SISTER SO HE CANNOT BREED WITH HER

Verdigris is a nuisance, but he’s Technetium’s nuisance. He has the unique ability of metal corrosion, so if she has scrap metal she needs disposing of, she asks Verdigris. The cyborg has technically adopted him like she's semi-adopted Neptune (even though he tries to eat her metal parts sometimes). Tech doesn't trust either of them anywhere near her machinery that actually...works. Verdigris enjoys his job and he thinks the world of Technetium. He's best buddies with the metal scavenger too! He's not allowed to hug Technetium though. He also needs repairs done to his outfit about once a week. Twice if he gets bored or loses a game of cards to Neptune. He's come home many times naked because of the Ridgeback Male. His abilities manifested at birth, and he was kicked out of the Steppes for destroying some of their newer effigys. Neptune found him and brought him to TLoMR. At first Neptune hated him for corroding his precious material but once he found out Verdigris could make his morsels more bite size their friendship flourished.

Named after a bright bluish-green crust that forms on copper or brass by atmospheric oxidation. If I'm honest though, I named him this because it's one of my favourite words to say! ALSO I SPENT AGES LOOKING FOR HIM AAAND :D

Now I have to dress him >:3c and...I'll figure it out lol.

Verdigris is the common name for a green pigment obtained through the application of acetic acid to copper plates or the natural patina formed when copper, brass or bronze is weathered and exposed to air or seawater over a period of time. It is usually a basic copper carbonate, but near the sea will be a basic copper chloride. If acetic acid is present at the time of weathering, it may consist of copper(II) acetate.

The name verdigris comes from the Middle English vertegrez, from the Old French verte grez, an alteration of vert-de-Grèce ("green of Greece"). The modern French spelling of this word is vert-de-gris ("green of grey"). It was used as a pigment in paintings and other art objects (as green color), mostly imported from Greece (Grèce).

It was originally made by hanging copper plates over hot vinegar in a sealed pot until a green crust formed on the copper. Another method of obtaining verdigris pigment, used in the Middle Ages, was to attach copper strips to a wooden block with acetic acid, then bury the sealed block in dung. A few weeks later the pot was dug up and the verdigris scraped off. In eighteenth-century Montpellier, France, it was manufactured in household cellars, "where copper plates were stacked in clay pots filled with distilled wine." The verdigris was scraped off weekly by the women of the household.

The chemical reaction exhibited between wine and copper to produce verdigris may be related to wine's own oxidization process. Another method, used in the early nineteenth century, had to do with reacting copper sulfate solution with solutions of lead, barium, or calcium acetate.
Their sulfates are insoluble, forming precipitates and leaving the copper acetate in solution.

Natural or artificially created coatings of verdigris is commonly used as a patina to protect copper or bronze objects, especially in architecture.

It is also used industrially as a fungicide, a catalyst for organic reactions, and in dyeing (The Merck Index, Ninth Ed., 1976). Verdigris has also been used in medicine.
