     * **Hyun Il-hwa, "Mr. Turtle"** - The owner of the recreational cruise line, Shell Entertainment. This man just oozes the essence of a weasel, but he maintains a respectable business servicing thousands of cashed up holiday makers every day.     * **Hyun Il-hwa, "Mr. Turtle"** - The owner of the recreational cruise line, Shell Entertainment.

     * ** Erik Van Krupp** - Owner and inheritor of [[company/gruppen_tanhauss]], Erik Van Krupp was a Maidenhand, but a chronic health condition has progressed into him becoming a mostly cybernetic machine intelligence to remain in control of his company and aware of his surroundings. With his imperfect form and limited mobility, the vultures of his business competitors are circling around Erik's business, and he leaves the management of his company and its arms to the likes of his CFO Ilsa Mout-Battenberg, and his board of directors.     * ** Erik Van Krupp** - Owner and inheritor of [[company/gruppen_tanhauss]], Erik Van Krupp was a Maidenhand, but a chronic health condition has progressed into him becoming a mostly cybernetic machine intelligence to remain in control of his company and aware of his surroundings.

 +    * ** Yewon Gamble** - The flamboyant Mindeye in charge of Gamble's Runners, he made his initial fortune lucking out on a job for a gang going south while he was delivering a suitcase of money. He has since built his courier group and one of Noir's free newspapers, the Gambler Gazette, which covers Noir's happenings and crime/hotzone forecasts.

     * **Jirou Harridan** - This dark-haired man is a Noir native, born and raised on the streets. He came back to the city after a successful career in the EAD((Codename: Decker. He was one of the handful of individuals who helped expose EAD's malpractice.)) and regularly runs charity events while working out of Shinka Studios.     * **Jirou Harridan** - This dark-haired man is a Noir native, born and raised on the streets.

     * **Die Gotthammers** - A splinter of defectors from Tanhauss, putting their advanced technology towards noble goals, and fucking up anyone with the same tech who gets in their way. They park in the Hothouse.     * **Die Gotthammers** - A splinter of defectors from Tanhauss, putting their advanced technology towards noble goals, and fucking up anyone with the same tech who gets in their way.

     * **Les Hospitalliers** - Led by an ex-EAD member, the Hospitallier, these good-samaritan street medics offer free emergency care on the streets to anybody who needs it, regardless of affiliation.     * **Les Hospitalliers** - Led by an ex-EAD member, the Hospitallier, these good-samaritan street medics offer free emergency care on the streets to anybody who needs it, regardless of affiliation.
 +    * **Talon Striders** - A formerly up-and-coming gang, the Striders were a Solemn based gang that through some lucky breaks had managed to secure a large area in Solemn and had a huge power base and were in the process of brokering a 3 way truce between themselves, the Ordinant Hand, and the Codebreaker Clan. But, since being blamed for the PA 269 bombings of Noir, the gang is largely broken and only a few holdouts remain.
   * **Other**   * **Other**
     * **The Hand** - A hitman who works for no particular organisation, instead lending their services to the mobs and gangs of Noir - for steep prices. Nobody has lived to see The Hand in the flesh or get a mark on their identity, as they make their dealings and transactions through numerous catspaws and sock puppets, and never works digitally. The mere mention of The Hand in hushed voices sends shivers up the spines of common thugs, and even makes bound-in-blood made men think twice.     * **The Hand** - A hitman who works for no particular organisation, instead lending their services to the mobs and gangs of Noir - for steep prices.

 +==== Phenomena ====
 +Given Noir's propensity to use and abuse every inch of real-estate with industrial or technological development, much of the bizarre phenomena revolves around these things.
 +  * ** Shutterspectres ** - Weird Things that live beyond mortal perception quite literally - all documented cases of a Shutterspectre involve cameras or recording devices of some kind. While manifestations are merely uncommon, very little evidence exists beyond testimony from those being haunted. Shutterspectres tend to stalk individuals through various devices (Though it is believed that the devices simply show where the spectre actually is) and generally make a non-interactive nuisance of themselves. There have been some documented cases of people being stalked into madness or even death, but investigation leads to the cause being stress, not any magical or psionic effect in play. Shutterspectres tend to take the form of skeletal entities with a shadowed covering mimicking flesh or fur or scale or what-have-you

   * **Early Bird Corporate Park** - This collection of skyscrapers compose most of downtown((a term used loosely as the entire city is nothing but 3 stories, and above)) Noir, and is where many corporate interests make their home. Glass, sealed bridges connect the various buildings together for easy access and most have a variety of amenities (food courts, housing, etc) to keep the employees within the confines rather than letting them risk the streets.   * **Early Bird Corporate Park** - This collection of skyscrapers compose most of downtown((a term used loosely as the entire city is nothing but 3 stories, and above)) Noir, and is where many corporate interests make their home.

   * **Tanhauss 'Furcht-Turmschloss' Tower** - [[company/gruppen_tanhauss|Gruppen Tanhauss]]'s corporate headquarters, and joint medical pavilion for the best healthcare in the city for those with money, and the most experimental healthcare in the city for those without money.   * **Tanhauss 'Furcht-Turmschloss' Tower** - [[company/gruppen_tanhauss|Gruppen Tanhauss]]'s corporate headquarters, and joint medical pavilion for the best healthcare in the city for those with money, and the most experimental healthcare in the city for those without money.

   * **Sleep-Tite Complexes** - The Sleep-Tites were a housing initiative several mayors back to provide safe haven housing to the residents of Solemn. These massive concrete buildings are all-in-one schooling, housing, dining, and recreational blocks. Unfortunately, this made them very susceptible to gang control when the initiative fell through just after finishing the construction. Now, these end up as village and keep rather than a bulwark against the criminal hordes.   * **Sleep-Tite Complexes** - The Sleep-Tites were a housing initiative several mayors back to provide safe haven housing to the residents of Solemn.

   * ** Bliss Bulwark ** - A kluge of construction, the Bliss Bulwark was once a major project intended to replace a literal wall blocking off Solemn and Kingsbury (to separate the destitute section of Noir off) and add many luxury businesses along the strip. But, the project lost funding, was bought out, constructed over, embezzled funds, abandoned, bought out, ad infinitum until the entire locale is a stretch of varying but unfinished work. Ambitious developers try taking on the project anew every year to try and make Kingsbury even greater before cutting their losses   * ** Bliss Bulwark ** - A kluge of construction, the Bliss Bulwark was once a major project intended to replace a literal wall blocking off Solemn and Kingsbury (to separate the destitute section of Noir off) and add many luxury businesses along the strip.
