Motivation for the Project


This project started as an experiment to better understand the world of NFTs, smart contracts, gas fees, crypto, and the overall process required to generate an NFT. As research progressed and we began to better understand the different elements and inner workings of Web 3.0. This led to the realisation that the generation of NFTs produces large amounts of global emissions, therefore directly contributing to global warming. For this reason we decided that the main goal of this collection is to reduce our carbon footprint by using a portion of the profits to support charities tackling the climate crisis.

Our Promise


As a way to set ourselves and the project apart from the many other collections already available on Opensea, we are dedicated to running a collection with a mission. 10% of all profits made from the mint phase and future sales will be donated to charities tackling the climate crisis.

The charities will be chosen involving our community of owners through discussions and our twitter page. Ahead of this milestone we have begun research into a range of charities that could be considered. Here are a few of these charities:

Clean Air Task Force
Carbon180
Climate Emergency Fund
Environmental Defense Fund
TerraPraxis.
 
We are committed to a process which totally transparent to ensure the community is kept in the loop and funds are always placed in the selected charities. 

NFT Characteristics


To define ourselves in the ever-growing NFT community, we decided that our NFTs should be unique, eccentric and non-identical, not only to this project, but to the NFT community itself. 

To achieve this goal our NFTs contain a combination of six distinctive characteristics that have been randomly generated to produce this collection. 

The different characteristics are as follows:
Backgrounds
Heads
Hats
Shirts
Accessories
Divinity

Each characteristic has some items that are rarer than others, such as animated backgrounds, animated shirts, sombreros and diamond chains. There is however one incredibly rare characteristic, the Divinity trait, this trait is only available on 100 of these NFTs, boasting either an angel or demon, which side will you join?!

The Team


Mr. International Man - Island vibez, monster energy, extra chicken and chips.
Colonel Custard - Here for a good time, not a long time. Give peas a chance.

Who are we?
In our regular day jobs we are qualified engineers in both the marine and mechanical sectors. We are always motivated in challenging ourselves and we see that venturing into the NFT community will be the next big challenge for engineers to undertake.

FAQs


What are NFTs?
"NFT stands for non-fungible token. Non-fungible is an economic term that you could use to describe things like your furniture, a song file, or your computer. These things are not interchangeable for other items because they have unique properties. NFTs are tokens that we can use to represent ownership of unique items. They let us tokenise things like art, collectibles, even real estate. They can only have one official owner at a time and they're secured by the Ethereum blockchain – no one can modify the record of ownership or copy/paste a new NFT into existence." - Ethereum 

Why Awful Attire Friends NFTs?
The concept of the awful attire came from our days back at university where we used to go on nights out all dressed in some shocking shirts. From this we got the idea of creating a variety of awful shirts, which in turn led to the creation of six characters that feature in the collection. Each of these unique characters is loosely based off our university friends. 

Why the Charitable Donation?

As engineers it has been engraved in us that tackling climate change and improving sustainability are key aspects to ensuring that our planet is here for future generations, this is why we are committed to donating 10% of our profits to climate change organisations to ensure that this sustainable direction is maintained.
