After disobeying her father, Nebecar, who is
believed to be the devil himself, X’Zalia was
banished to the lands of the Earth for sending word
to her mother that she was still alive. Nebecar saw
this as a sin that even he shouldn’t possess, as it
marks a point in his past in which he felt even the
simplest strand of joy and happiness. By telling her
mother that she was still alive, she showed that
Nebecar had a weakness, a secret that
Freedom Faction Units
Although Captain Megastar’s Freedom Faction,
Unit- 7 is discussed in Chapter 9 (see: Liberty
Corps), units 1-6, and any units designated 8+ are
purposefully left unmentioned. Gamemasters are
encouraged to create additional Freedom Faction
units as needed for their campaign, whether they
are the type to work with the Heroes, work against
them, or move to assassinate them should they get
in the way or prove to be a threat to a mission.
It’s even possible that the player group, itself, is a
Freedom Faction unit. In such a situation, unless
the unit has proven itself as highly capable and
loyal to the HDDN, they are generally kept in the
dark concerning the organization regarding
anything except Neo threats to National
Security. 13
would forever change the perception his people had of him.
Though living on Earth was meant to be a punishment for X’Zalia, she saw things in a different light. Here
she was able to live life her own way, and she liked that as she was living out of the sight of her father. But
she often felt out of place in this small town that she had been put in. She searched high and low for a land
that she heard being talked about, a land where the outcasts dwelled and the freaks called home.
Since her stay in Autumn Arbor, X’Zalia’s crime-fighting rate has become phenomenal. She was constantly
stopping crimes, from the simple muggings to complicated robberies and kidnappings. Though she had
never appeared in person on the news or in the papers, her achievements had been widely chronicled. To the
citizens of Autumn Arbor, she became known as the Woman of Shadows. After Stefan Saint-Germaine
caught word of X’Zalia’s stories, he did a bit of an investigation into her. Finding that she had no
registration number or records, he helped X’Zalia get the correct information she needed and let her join the
firm. Being the first female of Germaine Investigations, and having the past she had with her father, who
aggressively handled his loved ones, X’Zalia questioned the amount of loyalty and honesty her teammates
held, and whether or not she could place her trust in them. She was not use to seeing emotions in males, as
her father only showed her disappointment, followed by lashings and torment.
When corrected by her teammates, she responded in great anger and tried using her powers to intimidate
them. Her rage was pushed higher, as she could feel all eyes on her for many months afterwards.
Her first big undercover assignment required her to pose as a dancer for an underground Neo Strip Club,
and report the activities of a known cult master who was said to be abducting local dancers. Stefan had sent
her, as he felt she would be able to catch the man’s attention. The operation was a success and she was
quickly given another case.
While doing an investigation on one of Autumn Arbor’s high societies she saw at the club, X’Zalia found
that her father was keeping a close watch on her and was not pleased. She could, at times, predict the exact
point in which her father would try to return to Earth for her. Since joining Germaine Investigations, the
team has foiled at least four invasion attempts from her father.
Personality Profile
Despite her past torments, X’Zalia is a rather outgoing woman. She likes to be noticed and acknowledged,
but does not like being constantly watched. Though she is half-demon, she has never made an attempt to
destroy any person’s life or bring unhappiness to them. She pleasantly lives among the citizens of Autumn
Arbor.
X’Zalia can also be a very powerful leader if given the chance. She looks at her co-workers at Germaine
Investigations as a new, close family. Whenever discovering her father is coming to Earth, she thinks of
nothing but protecting the people she’s formed such a tight bond with.
