##### New Hero: N3ON, the hacker renegade

N3ON once stood beside Shinbi at the dawn of a revolution in sound, two young performers blending music and code to reshape live shows across Axion Prime. It was N3ON’s genius that created Shinbi’s iconic hard-light holo-wolves and turned stages into living canvases.

Then the spotlight narrowed. Branded a casualty of “creative differences,” N3ON vanished behind NDAs and corporate silence while Shinbi rose to planetary superstardom, one becoming a global icon, the other a ghost in the machine.

Now N3ON turns her talent against the system that cast her out: hijacking broadcasts, leaking secrets, and tearing at the entertainment empire’s polished façade. Cyberterrorist to some, whistle-blower to others, and a cat lover to all - all of her skills come in surprisingly handy on the battlefield.
