Codemaster's Intro

Codemaster always had a nack for getting into things that he shouldn't. A few days ago he wandered the alleyways in Bosco. He had stumbled across an old friend who he used to run jobs for back in the day. He told Codemaster of some shipment of weapons that he could hijack and redirect to "The Shade". Codemaster followed his friend's information down to the letter.

He had ventured into a werehouse the night before. He was busy opening crates to check shipment. When we stumbled upon an interesting crate of robotic goods he heard a voice. Trying to remain unnoticed he jumped into the box and shut the lid. Moments later he found himself being loaded onto a shipping unit. "Curses. I will never get those funds for my new armor." he thought to himself.

Days later he found himself still in the same box. "It must have been days. No one would suspect me now." he thought. He kicked open the wooden crate's lid and found himself on a strange ship.

"This place... I read about this place... This must be the airship of Nox... Hmph, perhaps they have use for someone like me.... and they probably pay better too."

Hana had been checking up on the new shipment of goods that had recently been shipped aboard Nox Animus. Having spent quite a while going around checking the various boxes and crates, she decided to take a short break. She sat herself down on a random crate, but immediately leapt off the crate when something moved inside it. Just as the lid was sent flying off the crate, Hana ducked behind a tall stack of boxes, and eyed the robot-like creature that had risen out of it.

Did I activate it somehow? That can't be it. Perhaps a stowaway. she thought. Deciding to confront the robot, she walked out slowly from behind the boxes so as not to take him by surprise. "Please state your name and purpose for being here, sir."she inquired calmly, making sure to make it such that she didn't sound threatening.

Ethan walked through the large storage as all had been unloaded by now. The workers had been more than happy to let him in and get his wares straight from storage, they would probably let him take whichever box he wanted if he asked them. He was after all pretty much a celebrity and most people if they saw him would just run up to him, asking for an autograph.

He had made a checklist as to what he had ordered to see to it that all was there. He kept looking at every box's decals and kept checking the list as he went on. "Herbs check, Cocoa check...." He went from to box for quite a while and eventually stopped as he saw what seemed to be a........ Tin-Man? It moved and Ethan as he's the way he is couldn't help but get his curiosity get the better of him. He looked to the side to find an open box filled with several pieces of metal, It could might as well be Indar's lunch, he then realised Hana was there so it could might as well be hers. He chuckled a little at the though before he spoke up "I take it you're not part of the cargo?" He gestured towards the strange automaton with his pen as he asked.

"My name is  Codemaster. You see, I was on a hired job by word of mouth. You see, I am no human, or humsnoid, but rather the embodiment of such." He pointed to his chest. "Here is my heart, this is all that is mortal. I have heard those of Nox are great Dark Mages, if you must slay me, do so. I have no reason to be here, but if you wish not to have blood on your hands... then let me join your ranks. I may not be a great mage like so, but I can promise you that I am worth something. I am Codemaster, a great Thief, ConArtist, a villian among the steeets of Bosco.



This is your home, my life is in your hands." Said the metal man as he bowed on one knee.

Alexander was searching through some of the cargo for the new upgrades for his twin guns. The package was late and there was missing components to his new gun. Getting annoyed with such terrible service was one of the worse things to do on the guild ship. They were the law after all and Alexander would be less lenient on the backdoor dealings that they might do. However his disposition cooled down for a bit when he learned of the new delivery that came in, there might be a chance that it’s in the back. The man would live for now, but mostly because Alexander was using the celebrity card to go in the back. Funny enough he was not alone, there were 2 guild mates looking at what could be described as a metal man. Well this was an interesting turn of events. Was this another case of a stowaway?

Alexander just watched quietly from the background as the android (?) explained himself to the group. There was a decision to be made through, but it came through with a single question: “Well Codemaster, first I am honored to know my guild’s reputation reaches Bosco. And second question being how good you are with Bosco Tech?” The man was not violent, so he would give him a benefit of a doubt for now. Hurt a guild member and most likely Hana would eat him, Ethan will melt him with acid and Alexander would burn him before 5 steps were made.

Still the man would be safe unless he did something stupid.

Hana looked to where Ethan had appeared from, then returned her focus to the robot, who'd answered her question and was currently bowing in front of them. She arched an eyebrow upon hearing his description of himself, somehow finding him familiar, as if she'd heard if him or met him before. After a moment of thinking, it hit her. She'd gotten reports from her subordinates that a strange man of metal had commited quite a few crimes. Initially, she had thought that it was just some moron dressing up in a ridiculously shabby suit of metal, but now...

She looked at him with a bit of interest, although she was  still unsure of what to do with him. Killing would be a simple task for her no doubt, and the easiest way to solve this problem, but he'd done nothing wrong for her to do so. Normally, she would've thrown stowaways overboard the minute she found them as she was required to do so, but it wasn't necessary here in Nox Animus. She opened her mouth to speak, but stopped when Alexander entered the scene.

"Heheh, hahahaha!" Codemaster laughed. He was being addressed by the guildmaster himself! He knew he would be safe. "Perhaps I did not introduce myself fully, I am Codemaster, the great thieving ghost of Bosco. All know of me, many know what I am, few know what I do, and even less know who I am. Myself if a collection of stolen wares, I am near pure Bosco-Tech, the only thing that isn't, is my heart. I may be a shell of metal and technology, but nothing can hide me from being a human."

Codemaster knew he couldn't do what he usually did, which was steal. He had three mages infront of hm, he reminded him of his lost family. He would fight to live, but had accepted death long ago... after his father was murdered.

And afterall, his Magical Enchanted parts remained on the ground, not on this ship.

Alexander smirked slightly and simply said, "Well that makes this an interesting scenarion. However you got the wrong impression how this guild runs." He simply walked up to Hana and said, "I did not arrive here first, so that means that I am in no position to judge your character. However she was the one that found you so she gets to decide what to do with you." Alexander wanted to see how Hana would handle a situation like this. For now, her word was going to be law.

"Hmmm."

Codemaster was astonished to hear it from the guildmaster himself. His fate did not lie in the hands of Mr.Zenneth, but of the girl in pink. He looked at her. How could such a thing rely on the decision of someone of such a rank. He bowed again on his knee.

"Do as you wish, Hana. My frail life is in your hands. Before this moment I was just a street thief, a bandit. It is your choice to spare, kill or take me in. I can be a great soldier, I can also be scraped for many jewels. The choice is yours." Said codemaster.

Hana was about to take her leave, since she saw no need for her to remain there any longer with the guild master there. However, she hadn't even taken a single step before hearing Alexander say that she would be the one deciding his fate. To be honest, Hana felt quite surprised to hear that she would be the one passing judgment, and not Alexander. It was his guild after all, so why was she to be the one who decided on what to do with him?

Sighing, she spoke. "I suppose he'll be of use to the guild, so why not?" she said! shrugging. Then, her eyes narrowed at the tin-man. "However, betray the guild, and I will personally hunt you down and make you my next meal." she threatened.

Codemaster smiled. "I hope you like metal and toxins, because my body is encased in it."

He found it pleasing to know his fate, that now he had a chance to prove himself. This new place was his family. "Thank you Hana, my life is in your debt." he said, "I shall do none to offend you."

Codemaster was an odd man indeed. Bu he knew of the consequences of his life. He did.

Last time it killed his father.

"Metal, yes. Toxins... Not really, but if it kills you, I wouldn't mind eating very bit of you." she retorted. She would've been the one who invited him anyway, so it would be her fault that he betrayed the guild. If he ever did, of course.

She heard Asarael snickering in her mind the minute he heard the robot say that he'd do none to offend her, since he'd already done so not long ago by mocking her. So he finally decided to talk then? Great. She preferred it when he was quiet. A day ago, she'd made a bet with Asarael that he couldn't keep quiet for more than a week. If he did, then he'd get to use her body for a single day. If she won... He'd shut up for twenty-four hours. Turns out she won the bet. "Bah, I don't care." he said cooly, although she knew he wasn't too happy about it. She sighed. She wondered if Alexander could hear his demon's voice in his head as well.

"Hmph, this entire event is quite humorous, it would make a great book perhaps. A thief locks himself in a box to be taken away from everything he knew to find himself as a stowaway on a great airship where he is accepted and admitted entrance by someone who would very well be the death of him. Funny, don't you think? Why before i got in that box I had nothing but a collection of spare parts, and look at me now, a guild member. Funny, isn't it? Life is a wondrous thing.

He stood there, almost at attention, with his eyes fixed on Hana. To him, she was practically his master. His fate, his life is in her hands.

[OOC: Oh my god I am so sorry. I completely forgot about this. I'm really really sorry for posting so late!]

Hana stared at the tinman as he began blabbering endlessly, clearly unimpressed. "I have absolutely no idea of what you're saying. Anyway, I'll say this once more. If you do anything, that threatens the well-being of this guild while I'm around, the consequences will be severe." she warned him, this time in a less threatening, but firm voice, then turned around to leave, grabbing her lunch box on the way.
