NOIR, formerly known as Gestalt, is the Eighth World visited by the Lucisfear Hunters whose plight is a bit more serious then what happened to previous worlds - Dubbed The Black Sweep by it's inhabitants.

The Black Sweep is categorized in NOIR as a Class 10 Calamitous Event that covered the skies in complete darkness, with only a singular celestial body twinkling far, far away, that did not manage to be erradicated. This happened due to Lucisfear's besieging of several worlds with the use of his Noble Phantasm - The Night of Fallen Angels - which would've erradicated all life on Gestalt if it were not for the appearence of the Military Corporation nurtured, and built by a man whose name was lost to time, and only his title remained, Nox Rex - The NOIR - who became the namesake of this planet, now shaded in darkness, with most of the Mankind's population erradicated, as they were defenseless against this threat.

Ever since that date, the remaining people of Gestalt have lived in the place from which the Androids originate, and on which Nox Rex lives - The Final Bunker - built on a material which is oddly reminiscent of Black Metal, and incredibly fortified by several kinds of barriers to guarantee the safety of mankind until the world can be repopulated and rebuilt.

## NOIR - The Military Corporation

NOIR is said to have been built by a singular man under the title of Nox Rex, being that the same man who is heralded as a Hero around the whole planet for the creation of the NOIR, who quickly twarted The Night Of Fallen Angels and guaranteed that Mankind would seem tomorrow. However, there are several curiosities about NOIR that only became known after they had saved the world, and have been etched in memory of the people there ever since.

### Unit Designations

Most of the Androids of NOIR have their own designation and function - Being reffered to it as such in their line of work and some even adopting that as their true name, as they fail to see a purpose beyond what they were intentionally made for. The classification system works by first inserting the serial number of the unit, and then the model to which it belongs to - An example being **5R - Recon Unit No. 5*.*** - however, much older models were referred to as the opposite way - Instead of 5R, it would be **R5.** However, these models are no longer fabricated, and it is unknown if there are any of these models still functioning.

It is worth mentioning however, that while the term "Model" may seem like it refers to the exterior of the Android, it actually refers to how their 3 major inner components are built, meaning that 2 Androids of the same "Model" may appear differently from one another, but their inner workings are almost the same - **The Logic Module** (Which decides key Personality Traits or general capacity for memory and such), **The Analogical Preset** Which decides the Android's physical aptitude in the field, aswell as their main talents in a physical manner) and the **Base Software** (Which determines some extra tools the Android may have available for usage in missions, such as an Operator's eyesight that lets it have a clear visual on Field Mission Android) - which may determine both the general behaviour, the combat prowess and the elements present on the Android's systems according to their specific task:

An example would be the following - A Recon Unit's Logic Module is made to support large amounts of information regarding weak points and monsters, but also made to be curious by nature so that it actually wants to learn it and understanding it, it's Analogical Preset however makes it not the best at fighting but better at mainting itself hidden and attacking from spots where it cannot be seen or attacked, since it's endurance is not great, while it's Base Software gives it the ability to hack and hijack different types of things that may be required for the mission or to access old terminals that have been lost by NOIR.

It is important to note however, that Androids are built like similarly to Humans, but with a special core component called The Black Box, which is essentially their heart, or core, but it is capable of storing information about their encouters in combat and sending that information to the database if the unit is destroyed.

Over the years, the models were remodeled, updated and added on as they were required to battle the ongoing threat. The current functioning models are as follows:

***Visionaire*** - (X)V - In a world shaded in darkness, it is easy to get ambushed by creatures that lurk in the dark, unnoticed, which makes missions on the outside of the Bunker quite treacherous - For that, NOIR has created The Visionaire Model with a quite different design then the usual humanoid type - Being hovering devices have the ability to scan the area in a wide range to detect hostile forces and points of interest for the rest of the party. This is the only Model to not contain a Black Box.

***Recon*** - (X)R - The Recon model is one of the few models that has survived the test of time from the Old Categorization System to the more Modern one - So it is not unlikely to find an Android labeled R10 for example. Recon Units are usually accompained by a Hunter Unit, and they work in tandem to allow for a better survivability on missions - With the Recon Unit handling the handling of information, and Hunter Units protecting them. Recon Units are also able to identify the weak point of Monsters, which allows for an easier time fighting as a Hunter unit. The weak points of creatures can also be uploaded to The Final Bunker database via **Black Box**

***Hunter*** - (X)H - Hunter is the one other model that survived the test of time, being around for as long as the Recon units, with this unit specifically being the one handling the battles and the fighting. While they do not use spells, they are incredibly skilled with any kind of weaponry and can exert a force equivalent to Strength and Dexterity A++ in the Scaling System minimum, making them compotent fighters and showing it as proof as to how they managed to defeat The Night of Fallen Angels. The Androids themselves are also extremely durable, being capable of surviving several hits in a fight without being destroyed.

***Thaumaturge*** - (X)T - With the passage of time, the Hunter model was used a basis for the Thaumaturge model, which is seemingly new, with less then 50 models ever being built. The Thaumaturge model can take the place of a Hunter in the symbiotic relationship of Recon & Hunter, as they are essentially Hunter units more focused on spell casting, with a firepower not unlike a very skilled mage, making them equally capable fighters when compared to the Hunter Model. Hunters can also be paired with Thaumaturges & Recon, which is how the new team composition is usually formed. In rare albeit harsher situations, a Medic accompanies the party.

***Medic*** - (X)M - Medic units were built on the very end of the battle against The Night of Fallen Angels, originally created to heal humans - However, due to the harsh situation that the world finds itself in currently, newer models were also designed to be able to aid Androids, giving them weaponry to survive on their own and the ability to know how to use them - Making them effectively Battle Medics. Sometimes, though not often, a Medic will be required to join a party. The Medic Model, specifically the one in battle, is also the one with the Black Box of highest detail and capacity, which instantly uploads itself to The Final Bunker if the unit is destroyed.

***Operator*** - (X)O - Operators are logistical model, capable of acessing the files on the Database easily to provide intel on misssions for units in the field, aswell as being the ones that actually organize and collect data from the Black Boxes of different units. The Operators are also the ones that make sure everything within the facility is functioning appropriately, and that the barriers never fail, not even once.

Non-Categorized - Unumbered and Unlabeled, refered to by real name - This is a quite odd type of Android, who was either built prior to the even the Old Categorization system or was given no designation or was built with no specific purpose in mind. These androids are usually the ones handling the entertainment willingly, or simply behave like closest to humans, as they feel like. Note that Androids of other models are not forbidden or shunned for trying to act like a real human either, in fact, Nox Rex is said to encourage Androids to "do what they want, with the life that's given to them", however, these models specifically have no other purpose but that.

As of recently however, there has been what could be only classified as a Virus taking over some of the units that stay outside of The Final Bunker for long periods of time, causing them to revolt against the cause and be possessed of red, glowing eyes, as opposed to the usual normal eyes they possess.

## The Final Script

Not much is known about The Final Script, other then it has been seen affecting Androids and Humans alike, turning them into Monsters - It takes the form of a black, runic like script similar to Gestaltin but with words that make no sense fumbling around, moving on the skin's surface, until eventually the person is consumed by the black runes and turned into a Monster, not unlike every other. The transformation into a Monster has never been seen, so there are no details on that.
