Arnold

Dear Guests, this Page is currently undergoing realization. Please bear with us as we fully realize the Page of Arnold!

“	W-we came here for loot, but what if that piece of paper was all a lie? Maybe we were too naive.	”
–Arnold

Arnold (아놀드, Anoldeu) is a member of the Brotherhood of Iron.

Appearance

Arnold's body is fully robotic, made completely out of bronze metal. Arnold's mechanical lower legs have only two toes. His body is wrapped in grey cloth and he wears a pair of baggy grey pants which recedes into his lower legs. He has a belt with multiple metal packs with wires connected to them. Arnold's right arm has seemingly been replaced by a chainsaw. Arnold's upper body and head are concealed within a hooded cloak, and a single white "eye" is all that can be seen of his head, along with two tubes that run off from between his hood and his cloak. In combat, he uses his chainsaw arm.

Personality

Arnold is relatively focused and goal-driven towards the purpose of making money. However, he is also highly cautious, aware of the dangers of his life, though he tries to stay level-headed.

Story

Background

Mo, Consta, and Arnold are old friends. Like Mo and Consta, Arnold chose to replace his body with a mechanical prosthetic in order to pursue earning money without being distracted by human needs. However, due to the low quality of their bodies (having been made by a cheap workshop,) they are still forced to deal with basic issues such as joint mobility and having to periodically refill their "brain fluid" to stay sharp, as well as being subject to cravings and memories of human experiences they can no longer have. As such, Arnold follows Mo's priority of earning money to purchase a higher-quality body.

The Brotherhood of Iron

As the scene begins, Mo is seen reminding Consta and Arnold to keep their brain fluid filled to better pursue earning money. When asked about the group's next plans, Arnold suggests raiding a workshop for money and technology, and disputes Consta's idea of raiding an Office instead. Arnold further reflects on the high expenses needed to purchase the type of high-quality body they are aiming for, noting that they are almost as expensive as a house in a Nest.

Consta then finds an Invitation stuck in Mo's arm, which Mo did not notice due to his body's lack of senses. The trio then decide to enter the Library. However, Arnold raises doubts about their chances of success, believing that the Invitation is a lie; after meeting Angela, he claims that the Library is a trap set by the rich. Consta follows up with a story he heard about people from the Backstreets being kidnapped by the rich and forced to fight in a labyrinth for the rest of their lives as entertainment. Nevertheless, Mo encourages them not to give up, and they enter their Reception.

Ultimately, Arnold perishes in the Reception along with Mo and Consta, and turns into the Book of Arnold which contains his Key Page.

Key Page story

Arnold’s Page

The City consists of 25 Nests, and 25 Districts of the Backstreets that surround those Nests. And countless Offices and Syndicates reside in the Backstreets. You know what’s a surefire way for a Syndicate to make a name for itself among all the competitors? The simplest method is Office raiding. You literally storm into an Office and wreak havoc on it. You never know who will be the winner until you fight. It could stop at a good beating and one side surrendering, but some Syndicates raid Offices out of pure boredom and kill everyone. Each Syndicate has its own way of operation. It goes without saying that the Syndicate has more fame to gain out of raiding a high-grade Office filled with seasoned Fixers. So the Offices have to stay sharp at all times. But you’ll also have to watch it. If you misjudge your opponents, you’ll end up dead before you could try anything…

Combat Dialogue

Combat Entrance T-this is a curious place, and quite big, too… D-don’t you think our metallic bodies are stronger than your soft flesh? M-my body creaks a lot, but it’s still durable. Victory Cry I-it’s finally time to say goodbye to these creaking noises. I-if we have enough money left to spare… H-how about we go on a short vacation? Death I-it’s quite saddening to die in scrap metal and not my human body… I-it’s cold, t-this feels lonely. On Kill I-I don’t miss my target. I-I suppose everything comes with a price. M-my body may be shoddy scrap metal, but it’s more useful than that squishy body of yours. Special Event …I-it’s been an honor to work with you. I hope you can rest now. T-they were my long-time friends, b-but this is not the time to be sad over their losses.
