     * **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

   * **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.
