Killing NPCs results in an Arachnos hit squad being sent after you, wanted for murder (read the background, Recluse does actually enforce the laws. Why do you think the Goldbrickers are always getting nabbed?)
Beating up the hit squad will result in more being sent, upgrading from, say, a few Wolf spiders to a Huntsman, his squad and some robotic back-up, moving steadily through to a whole Crab spider assault team, then a Bane Commando neutralisation unit, to the point of them sending in a Tarantula squadron, and then a Night Widow kill-team.

Etc, etc. Only targetted NPCs would be a trigger, not those caught in AoE. (Standard code rant?)

NightErrant (A.K.A. Duke Harrison) and his cousin Morgan Serif are both members of the Midnighter's Club, and both have connections to Mu Ancestry, though neither of them really dress the part.

Operative Halfway (A.K.A. Robert Wexler, A.K.A. Agent Halfway or Operative Robert depending on which toon I'm playing) is a latent Psychic who was Partially Riktified (So he's halfway between Lost and Rikti in that sense. I used the "Strange Case of Benjamin A. Decker" rather than The Lost as inspiration), though he's only obvious as a Rikti when you take off his mask. I don't have a screenshot of him, but I do have a screenshot of my newest toon.



Duskshooter (Or "Screw this I don't want to drag my *** through Blueside Content when all my friends are Redside. Dark powers are close enough...")
He's a Dark/Dark Brute. (Not Corruptor. Ha! I bet you thought I was going to go AR/DM weren't you? Nope!)

His Origin Story is that he was a Nictus that was formed from the N-Fragments implanted into a Void Hunter. The Quantum Energy used to modify the fragments messed with his Nictus powers (Hence why he's a Brute rather than a Warshade), and also left him with none of that natural Knowledge Kheldians are supposed to possess. All he knows are language skills, basic math, and things he would have observed as a sort of "passenger" in the Void Hunter's body. Therefore, he comes off as sort of an idiot.

Anyway, Duskshooter was the incredibly tacky nickname of the Void Hunter that the Nictus (I'll call him Dusky) lived in. Dusky was sort of a passenger, and the Void Hunter wasn't really aware of his presence during the six months or so he was allowed to mature. Dusky, being completely innocent and unaware of the fact he even was a Nictus, made no attempts to take over the Void Hunter's Mind. He just sort of watched him "shoot the glowy people" and wondered what that was all about...

This went on for a while until a Longbow Operative shot and killed the Void Hunter, leaving Dusky alone in a freshly dead corpse. Unaware that the Void Hunter's Soul had left his body (and apparently undamaged by the shotgun blast due to the unorthodox nature of their bond), Dusky immediately began work on restoring the Void Hunter's body to a working state, as well as doing some "renovations" based off of observations of the superheroes and villains in Paragon city, resulting in enhanced Strength, Agility, and Durability.

When the Void Hunter didn't comeback, he decided he was going to "house sit" for him. He lives in the Rogue Isles under the Void Hunter's old nom de guerre, generally annoying the people who live there with his stupid questions, and beating up bad guys with his Nicti-enhanced strength.

TRR GO!
