Hyperion

**Hyperion**, also known as *Vic Cage* or *Goldblade*, is a Member of Nightwork-BTC. From 2014 to 2015, he served as the 1st General of Nightwork-Scope, until he initiated the October 26 invasion, which caused the start of the Ninzard Civil War. He was officially banned from the community on February 23, 2016 by Vice Executor StarMiner1117. He would not return for another 3 years. In his time as *"Vic Cage"*, he held a prominent status in the community.

Hyperion returned with the alias *Goldblade*. He first joined through the newly formed Astrocore-Dawn community, blending in as a member of the former Xenonitrix community. His Hyperion alias quickly gained prominence after successfully winning first place in the 2019 Underground Olympics. After, he was widely considered to be one of the most intelligent and capable ninzards. Hyperion's presence in the community has both been described as "beneficial" and "troublesome." Due to his celebrity status, he has gained notoriety among administrations he mocked, most notably the Atomical Administration and later the Spikester Administration.

Hyperion revealed his identity on May 23, 2021. This came as a shock to many members.

## Recruitment

Hyperion was first invited to Nightwork by MrPiggieMLG on April 26, 2014. He served as a regular Nightwork Agent until he was promoted on August 1, 2014.

## General of Nightwork-Scope

On August 1, 2014, Hyperion was promoted to become the General of Nightwork-Scope. He was regarded as being one of the most competent and skilled generals. He was praised by Chief General of Nightwork, Xsoumii, who stated that he was the most loyal of the Nightwork Generals.

Governor YombiaX was often skeptical of Hyperion's loyalty. He suspected that much of his motives were rather for his own personal gains rather than for the community, especially after he had established Hyperion Fortress.

### Hyperion Fortress

After the League Day, Hyperion established Nightwork-Scope into his own mini-community called Hyperion Fortress. This was strongly supported by the members of Scope and was also appreciated by vast members of the whole Nightwork community. His popularity gave him unofficial power and influence over large portions of Nightwork. This caused the Capital Administration, the Ninzard League Senate, and the Ninzard Assembly to feel threatened by him.

## Ninzard Civil War

Hyperion discussed a secret deal with Vice Executor CloudMaster. The deal would give him enormous amounts of indirect control of the NUA. This would give him enough power to use the community for his own personal motives. However, Vice Executor CloudMaster had been caught making multiple secret illegal deals with other members.

YombiaX called out CloudMaster's corruption and demanded he resign immediately. StarMiner1117 also condemned CloudMaster of many accounts of abuse of power.

The Ninzard Civil War unfolded after CloudMaster had attempted to build a secret coup to knock down the YombiaX Administration. In retaliation, YombiaX ordered the capture of all of CloudMaster's platform accounts.

CloudMaster personally asked Hyperion if he could use Vic Fortress to fight against the Nightwork forces.

During the civil war, Hyperion became a major figure of the Nightwork opposition. Cyber-Nightwork relied deeply on his Vic Fortress Army. On many occasions, Hyperion used tricks and illusion tactics. His presence in the war remained a threat.

By the end of the war, much of the Cyber-Nightwork forces were captured. Hyperion remained the only commander of the opposition who did not surrender.

The day after the end of the Second Ninzard Civil War, Hyperion was banned from the NUA by new Vice Executor StarMiner1117. Ever since, Hyperion was never heard from again.

## Return as "Goldblade"

Hyperion joined the community as "Goldblade" on May 11, 2019. He had acted from being a part of the abandoned Xenonitrix community. For the first few days, Hyperion attempted to continue his normal routines as if he was in his former community.

Before his return, Hyperion had already gained prominence figure of the community under his Goldblade alias. He had a reputation of being a troll, but very intelligent at the same time. This gave him fame, which continued into his Goldblade identity in Ninzard. Therefore, he had strong influence over the people and could get many members to do as he wanted.

Hyperion had become bothered of the sudden rise of conflict and the Fifth Faction's acting governor, Axayaxx's handling of it. He had banned half of the district's members simply for showing opposition to the administration. While Hyperion did not agree with the opposition, he did not agree with the Governor's handling. The new Celestial Party was corrupt and the Xenonitrix administration was incompetent. In realization to this, Hyperion gathered a small team of his friends to rebel against the district. He hoped to bring change to Xenonitrix, either by having a new administration, moving to a new district, or even restoring their independence as a community.

Hyperion eventually gathered a large support of people who rallied behind Hyperion's new attempt of change. Hyperion named his new force the "New Revolution Army" (also called the NRA, coincidentally having the same acronym as the Nation Rifle Association).

On June 15, 2019, Executor Zap declared that a new district was to be given to the New Revolution Army. Atomical, a ninzard who had supported Hyperion's revolution, was chosen to lead the district.

### Astrocore Opti-agent

The members of the newly formed district of Astrocore informed Governor Atomical that Hyperion had been one of the key people of the Xenonitrix Revolution. However, from the get-go, of Atomical's administration, Hyperion poked fun at the Governor stating: "We got a girl boys! We got a sandwich-making leader!" Due to this statement, Atomical had been reluctant to give him any core positions.

On June 25, 2019, Governor Atomical promoted Hyperion to Astrocore Deputy Director the Offensive Battalion due to huge demands from the people to promote him. However, many criticized the Governor as they believed this position was too low for Hyperion. However, Hyperion stated that "it did not matter much to him."

During the majority of the Atomical Administration, Hyperion continuously poked fun at Atomical. Hyperion gave the Governor a list of nicknames, which included: Karen, pedophile, Charlie, sandwich-maker, whore, vapid, lame, and Mom.

Hyperion very often broke the rules of inter-community attacks, where he jokingly raided platforms of the NUA community. Most notably, he raided East Solarburst disguised as D3SF satirically, which was taken seriously by the East Solarburst community. The Supervisor of East Solarburst, Xelogate, attempted to use the event as evidence to prove the existence of the D3SF, calling the Capital Administration "corrupt."

Hyperion has also infiltrated the accounts of various executorial candidates. In July of 2019, he hacked CP Leader Clenzy. On April 30, 2020, he hacked RP candidate Czulia. As a result, he was banned for a week for inter-community attacks.

Hyperion himself has endorsed Zap to win re-election in the 2020 Ninzard League executorial election.

### Reputation as Goldblade

While he is a celebrated figure among his followers (mostly consisting of OP supporters), he is disliked among many authority figures, who had constantly had to deal with Hyperion's trolling and rule breaking.

Executor Zap has called Hyperion "an alpha male." He frequently praises the Deputy Director as a very important member of the NUA community. In total, Zap has pardoned Hyperion six times in incidents where he broke the inter-community attacking rule. As a result, both the Executor and Hyperion have been accused of being "corrupt."

Governor Navarch has called Hyperion a "Chad."

Hyperion, as Goldblade, was considered the "Orion1 of his time." However, some members have spoke in opposition of this, stating that his comparison with Orion1 is considered unfair due to the different standards of the community back in 2015 to 16. Hyperion himself once spoke of Orion1, whom he called "some old ass guy who I don't know anything about. Compare me to him or not, I couldn't care less to be real." However, after he had revealed himself to be Hyperion, his statement was also revealed to be a lie. Hyperion very well knew of Orion1 and considered him to the greatest threat during the civil war.

When in action, he often pairs up with Thermos. Both of them have successfully executed multiple ambush and offensive attacks on numerous occasions. They are considered to the "Black & Yellow Duo." However, Hyperion and Thermos also have a friendly rivalry as they always compete and challenge each other on various things. During the 2019 Underground Olympics, the finals were of Goldblade vs Thermos.

## Vic Cage Legacy

"Vic Cage" was remembered as a prominent figure of the Ninzard Civil War. While the community acknowledged that he was a negative figure, many have agreed that he was one of the most intelligent people of the NUA.

In December of 2019, Executor Zap noted the influence of Hyperion. He compared him to East Solarburst Supervisor Xelogate.

"Remember Vic? The guy really knew what he was doing. He thought outside the box. That's how he got so much power without serving for the community. If anything, it was because of Vic that we developed our community in this way. He's a good example of how some smart people with bad ambitions can get a hold of us. Luckily, unlike Vic, Xelogate isn't smart. All he has are bad ambitions. Maybe if Vic was still here, I'd feel more threatened."
