History Characters / LibraryOfRuinaOtherSyndicates

* The Faceless: His signature bamboo hat has never once revealed what the man has looked like, [[spoiler: even expanding to covering his face with literal shadow when he distorts, a single glowing eye visible from the darkness.]]

* MyRulesAreNotYourRules: Normally, each character deck can oly have 3 copies of the same card. Gyeong-mi has ''4'' copies of ''Brawl'' and ''Scratch That!'' - and the latter is an "Objet d'Art" rarity page, which normally are limited to just one per deck.

A Syndicate that clashes often with the Kurokumo Clan. They wield rusted, spikey chains in combat.

* ChainPain: As mentioned earlier, they utilize rusted, spikey chains in combat. These chains can easily damage themselves, however.

* AnAxeToGrind: As their name suggests, they wield axes in battle.

* AnAxeToGrind: His WeaponOfChoice is a battle axe with purple neon lights on its business end.

* ThemeNaming: Each member of the syndicate is named after a sound an animal makes. Or at least, everyone's but MuMu's is.

* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Her appearance, and her facial assets, strangely enough, [[https://images.wikia.com/library-of-ruina/ja/images/0/06/Meow_N_Default-resources.assets-207511.png resemble Tamaki's from the Full-Stop Office]].

* LoopholeAbuse: Exploited by Gyeong-mi's signature card, Brawl. Brawl randomly copies the dice from another page in his hand on use. Brawl does not, however, copy any on use effects from the page it copies, meaning Brawl is best used in conjunction with pages that have negative on use effects, such as Gyeong-mi's other signature card, Scratch That, which normally has a -2 power modifier on use.

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Gyeong-mi is introduced beating up some Section 6 goons in rage due to Walter failing to deliver them L. Corp's floorplans.

!The Carnival

[[quoteright:167:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thecarnivalicon.png]]
-->''"Quality fabric is a rarity. Tailors are just as important as Syndicates and Fixers. There guys seem to be operating underground. Looks like they're eating people to make silk..."''
--->- Roland
A Syndicate of Tailors that eat people to create silk. Their abilities were actually from a Singularity held by a fallen Wing. Unlike most other Tailors in the City, they are mostly independent though they've recently been carrying out Prescripts from the Index.

* AmbiguousSituation: Exactly what ''are'' the Carnival tailors is left ambiguous. They sound like robots yet they have fairly organic, though bizzare, bodies that they use to eat people. They are clearly [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]] of some sort, yet their powers of creating fabric from people originated from a former Singularity that they stole, implying that they couldn't originally create fabric from people.
* TheDividual: While they're identified as Alpha, Beta and Gamma and have their own voices, their only book drop is simply the 'Book of the Carnival', painting them as such.
* EldritchAbomination: When neutral they look like tall humans in black cloaks and a mask, but the moment they move for a kill they'll reveal their twisted black flesh and absurdly sharp spines and teeth.
* GenuineHumanHide: As stated, they can make a special silk out of the people they've killed. It's surprisingly durable too.
* HumanResources: The Carnival tailors specialize in this, since they create high quality silk created from humans which can be used to create workshop armor. The silk they create are infused with that person's bodily qualities. For example, cloths made from silk created from an agile person will allow its wearer to move faster.
* PersonalityPowers: The fabric they make from eating people contains properties reflective of the person that they ate.
* StoneWall: Their fighting style makes use of their mostly neutral defenses by using plenty of evade and defend dice before winding up for a big and deadly hit through moves like ''Tailoring'', which stacks bleed on top of its considerable damage.
* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: All three speak in terse, curious sentences, but are apparently much more eloquent when writing if their page backstory is anything to go by. Roland and Angela copy and make fun of their speech after their defeat, though Angela is less than amused with Roland's attitude while doing it.
* TurnsRed: Their passive has them gain two strength per scene if one of their own dies, making them more powerful to compensate for a loss in their trio. This passive can be applied to your own librarians once their page is acquired.
* VocalDissonance: While all members resemble tall, nearly-identical looking, centipede-like abominations in robes and wearing a white mask, Beta most notably has the voice of a young girl that doesn't fit how she looks like, but with extra synthetic voice effects.

!Axe Gang

A Syndicate that consists of many members that were well-acquainted with the Fixers of Hook Office before they actually joined Hook Office.

* AnAxeToGrind: As their name suggests, they wield axes in battle.

-->''"But, there's a whole lot of fields of Fixer activity, and the situations can differ for each case, so it's hard to make a fair one-on-one comparison. For example, the Red Mist liked to work alone, but the Blue Reverb is leading a Urban Nightmare-class Syndicate as you can see there."''
--->- Roland
A Syndicate of masked cannibals likely originating from Backstreet 23. Their masks are specially designed to inhale large amounts of smoke, which they use alongside their weapons to choke and burn their victims. They were hired by Argalia to execute Thelma, the Director of Shi Association's Southern branch, after he manipulated him to send all of his Section 2 and Section 3 Fixers and Offices to an endless barrage of {{Impossible Task}}s just to get them decimated. Argalia also chose the Night of the Backstreets to execute him, presumably to make sure he is completely unaccountable for the crime. They cover Urban Nightmare Chapter 2.2.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: They make mention of Heehaw, Doodle-loo and Woof in passing, who'd show up much later in the storyline as a member of the [[BigBadEnsemble Reverberation Ensemble.]]

The second of the trio, [=MuMu=] is an arrogant man wearing a bunny's mask who joined up to replicate what he heard the Pianist play on the day of his attack.

* SmokeOut: The first reception to introduce the Smoke debuff, making heavy use of it to strengthen themselves and weaken their opponents.

A Syndicate of people who have gone mad from the Pianist's performance, wishing to recreate its performance by using humans as instruments. The Syndicate's original founders were Heehaw, Doodle-loo, Woof, and Meow while Mumu and Oink joined the Syndicate later on. Heehaw, Doodle-loo, and Wolf would go on to leave the Musicians of Bremen to join with the Blue Reverberation Ensemble.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: They make mention of Heehaw, Doodle-loo and Wolf in passing, who'd show up much later in the storyline as a member of the [[BigBadEnsemble Reverberation Ensemble.]]

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The standing leader of the Syndicate while Heehaw, Doodle-loo and Wolf are away, and the toughest member of the trio during the gang's battle at the Library.

* DumbMuscle: While far from an idiot, Gyeong-mi is too hot headed for his own good and flies into unreasonable rage easily, killing a bunch of Section 6 members against the advice of his friends, who are now cautious of retribution they can't hope to fight back once their backup hears about what happened.

* LightningBruiser: This trio moves fast and goes for hits that can easily drop unprepared librarians to half health in a single blow, offset by the fact that they're don't have many cards that hit multiple times, and the ones that they do have aren't as strong as their single hit attacks. Even Gyeong-mi, whose signature cards deal intense amounts of damage with multiple strikes, can't afford to use his best attacks for long without exhausting himself to no-lights and needing to idly recharge for a turn.

The third of the trio. Originally hailing from the Seven's Association before hearing the Pianist's performance, Oink is an anxious man who's been practicing hard to impress the others with a great performance to match the Pianist himself, or at the very least the Syndicate's leaders, but hasn't been able to find much success.

* StoneWall: Their fighting style makes use of their moslty neutral defenses by using plenty of evade and defend dice before winding up for a big and deadly hit through moves like ''Tailoring'', which stacks bleed on top of its considerable damage.

!The Axe Gang

!The Smiling Faces

* DeathOfAThousandCuts: They're introduced torturing the Shi Association's Section 1 director Thelma, having already made 1347 cuts from his body, with the Blue Reverberation requesting them to make a [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill total of 10,000 cuts]] from Thelma's body before killing him.

!The Rusted Chains

!The Blade Lineage

The second of the trio, MuMu is an arrogant man wearing a bunny's mask who joined up to replicate what he heard the Pianist play on the day of his attack.

* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Meow's appearance. [[https://images.wikia.com/library-of-ruina/ja/images/0/06/Meow_N_Default-resources.assets-207511.png Her facial assets also resemble Tamaki's]].
* DramaticIrony: They spend their part of the chapter constantly planning and hoping for the day they create the perfect music with their next victim. Their dying words when killed in the Library, more often than not, is meloncholly lamenting that their death is making the perfect music they've been training to achieve.
