"Among the metropolis's many notorious criminals, a certain hacker mastermind lurks in the shadows, hidden away in her secret lair. From there, she has been hacking into banks and companies all over to siphon off money to fund her criminal enterprises, for she will stop at nothing but total world domination!"

"With that kind of outfit she can certainly dominate me."

"Pffft. Zhen, please. Where was I... ahem. So far none of the metropolis's many heroes, super- or otherwise, have been able to find, much less stop her. Are you up to the task?"

"The way these dice behave, I'll be lucky if I can even get into the building in the first place..."

A fun bit of concept art that came about from a discussion with  sidspaztyler about what a hypothetical villainous version of Code would look like. Obviously the master hacker type of character where you only see the back of their chair for a good chunk of the show first. Her actual villainy is probably on par with Saturday morning cartoon villain shenanigans, which is just all the more excuse to go over the top and full ham on the delivery. Might as well have some fun with it, right?

I'm actually having some very silly ideas that might get turned into a story on my other account about this being Code's character in a tabletop game, as alluded to in the blurb above, but that's just an idea at the moment and would need to be fleshed out.

Either way, you can never go wrong with sleeves and stockings, especially when you go all the way and get stirrup sock and bridal gauntlet variants of those.

Now I just need a name for her villainous persona (and a design and name for whoever her sworn nemesis ends up being). Unfortunately as everyone who has ever created a tabletop RPG character knows, the name is the hardest part.

Code belongs to me.
