Xenon Noire, also known as the Xenon Gang, are an upstart faction operating presently out of Wolverton Science Museum [23, 27].

The Xenon Gang welcome anyone who is able to join them to their banner, but are by-and-large hostile to the Elder Powers - turning their powers against anyone who would dedicate themselves to them, and seeking to disrupt the shaky balance of the endless battle by any means necessary.

Least, that's what most of them tell themselves.

*The Xenon Gang by default treat other Good factions with no preferences compared to Evil/Neutral factions.

Xenon Noire have declared hostilities against almost every faction in the game, save only for neutral mercantile clans (Tem Shop, Kodiak Steel Company, Paragon etc.) and Circus Apocalyptica (because everyone loves the circus). However, Xenon Noire's interests are in punching-up, not punching-down. Xenon Noire have never once raided a Level 4 or lower faction - our end ambition is to take the fight to the top dogs of the Nexus and win. We're currently making an 'end of the beginning' style push to get raid squads together to consistently strike the largest factions of all, and we'd love to have you along for our shaky ride!

Note that you can also use this thread for diplomacy (or anti-diplomacy), and do remember that the Xenon Gang are still a mercenary faction - if the price is right, we may assist you. Xenon are strictly neutral in outside inter-factional matters, given that they loathe everyone equally.

Update 05/03/20: Added all of our little character blurbs! In the next post, that is. Obviously we're always recruiting! In case you're one of those rare people with a lot of characters waiting in the idled/released void, and you're wondering what might be especially helpful for us -

Eternal Soldier, Nexus Champion, Divine Herald, Seraph, Advocate and Fallen would be particularly good. Obviously play whatever you like if you're ever unwisely considering rolling with us, I just know that narrowing it down does help people sometimes!

Xenon Gang - The Rap Sheets
There has to be some reasons they do what they do.


Alyss Kain
Class: Holy Champion - Lightning
Role: Anti-Personnel Weapon
Previously a petty criminal and general malcontent of the fallen nation of Laurentia, the shift to the Nexus has seen a significant upswing in her violence and demagoguery. Her ignorance fuels the danger she represents - she refuses to believe that the Nexus is 'real', that it is only a nightmare, and so lacks basic empathy for anyone who doesn't help keep her safe.


A Majestic Ghast
Class: Lich
Role: Clean-Up Squad
The Ghast has no opinion on the purported goals of Xenon. In fact, she has little concept of them. She is highly-intelligent, but whether they succeed or fail means nothing to her. The Ghast is simply attracted to sudden death - something that trails the Xenon Gang more than most any others. In the aftermath, whether it was a battle for the sake of ideals or simply a squabble over a street or two in Laurentia; she'll be there, tending the bodies of her allies and enemies with the same precise care.


Iscara Schadenfreude
Class: Revenant - Vampire
Role: Huntress
A creature of artifice, she was led to believe she was the result of a collaboration of magi-scientists, rather than any Elder Powers. Whoever was responsible, her purpose was to kill others within the City, a role at which she excels. After leaving a trail of blood and dust from Sunrise to Silver City, it remains to be seen how long obeying Xenon will keep her interest.


Stella Ambramotte
Class: Fallen Advocate
Role: Arms Dealer
Stella's reasons for siding with the Xenon Gang were simpler than most - they paid well, had access to good production equipment, and offered ample opportunities for her to further her hobby of using light industrial equipment for highly-inappropriate purposes. Unfortunately, a curse from someone beyond even the Elder Powers sent her far backwards on her grind. Will that stop her? Not for long.


Billy Sideways
Class: Myrmidon
Role: First In, Last Out
Sideways has fought under as many banners as he's had guises. Wandering the city in his downtime, he came across and fought Alyss Kain to a standstill time and again. Intrigued by her fervour for violence and having her in his sights once again, Sideways determined that 'redemption' wasn't really all it'd been cracked-up to be. Fearless and seemingly immune to pain, he has been put-down many times since his defection - but always taken more of them with him.


Persephone Kritikos
Class: Lightspeaker
Role: Technical Support
Pure in her heart and desires for the City, the nature of the Nexus - especially being practically at the epicentre of it - has started to take its toll. A brilliant mind, she juggles navigating complex magical equations, tending to many wounds, and since recently constructing sentinels of her own design. The packed schedule gives her less-and-less time to consider what's happening around her; with all the death that packs the streets already, what's a few more to protect herself and her friends?


Nomad of Niflheim
Class: Lightspeaker
Role: Riot Control
A former police officer herself in the waning days of Laurentia (or elsewhere?), the Nomad had always followed diligently whichever cause seemed to give her the best opportunity to keep others safe, to do well by them. But after being burnt by Kojima, and then in the collapsed world of the Nexus, it quickly became clear that what law enforcement there was still weren't even paying lip service to those tenets. The Xenon Gang promised the war to end all wars, and whether that was ever going to happen or not, it was clear they needed her protection.


Sunnyside
Class: Archon - Sword Saint
Role: Demolitions
It doesn't take a lot for a good heart and mind to be corrupted. Sometimes it only takes one thing. A loose follower of Baraas, Sunnyside couldn't care less for the Xenon Gang's anti-theist ideology. But he's always had an urge to set things alight with holy fire, to tear-down all the improbable buildings, watch the streets crumble and then make themselves again. These secreted talents were thoroughly wasted with most of Laurentia's Good - but with Xenon, he can break all the things he wants.


Tomoe Gozen
Class: Paladin
Role: Madwoman
It seems Tomoe delights in watching trouble and mischief. The Xenon Gang create enough of that without any interference whatsoever on her part, but if she could only suggest a target here... incite a little anger there, then that incites a little violence, and it goes further and further from there. All because of just a few bold words at the right time. That is her gift to Xenon, and Xenon's gift to her.


A Magic Seal
Class: Conduit
Role: Mysterious Benefactor
When the Xenon Gang first claimed the Science Museum as their forward base, the seal was there to meet them. As they've continued their crusade, the seal has seemed to grow brighter and brighter. Occasionally, when things seem desperate enough, it will bestow them with gifts and blessings; still other times it turns a blind eye to their plights. Despite Kain and Stella's best efforts (and much begging), no rhyme or reason to the seal's actions has been discovered - but as always, a capricious supplier is better than none at all.
