Background Story:
Xiomyra is a very mysterious young woman who is a mercenary with a very distinct sense of style and control over the cold. She also used to be the original vigilante and assassin known as Dark Prominence in World War II but was placed in cryosleep over for decades. Xiomyra was released from her cryosleep, earning her ice powers and secretly reassuming her identity as Dark Prominence while also posing as a private detective of New York City. Dark Prominence has been framed for a mass robotic outbreak at a biogenetic and robotics organization known as the Shayo Network. As a detective, Xiomyra would have to do an investigation on her own identity and she would have to find some method of clearing her name, keeping her Dark Prominence persona a secret. Xiomyra became the girlfriend of Eiji Seijitsu and she would investigate the Shayo Network through a Net Fighting tournament that would be hosted by the said company in hopes of finding the true culprits behind the robot outbreak and to clear her name as Dark Prominence.

Trivia and Game play notes
- Xiomyra is a ruthless, calculating and mysterious mercenary and is also the game's resident “Bruce-Lee” clone. She is the type

*Who Is Dark Prominence?*
- Dark Prominence is a vigilante, thief and an assassin from World War II. The woman who takes up this identity is known as Xiomyra Xuewang. Xiomyra Xuewang was born in a Metopian society in the Chinese region. Her parents both moved to Germany when she was in her early teens to work for the biogenetics and robotics organization known as the Shayo Industries (now known as the Shayo Network), that which also had a Metopian society that would keep the Nazis and other dangerous forces away from the Shayo Industries. Before then, Xiomyra's family was constantly plagued with poverty. Many politicians, celebrities and individuals of power did nothing but cause Xiomyra and her family more than a few hardships because of their upbringing. Xiomyra had a rather distinct but childish sense of justice because and her patience had worn out. When World War II began, she begins operating as the Dark Prominence, discovering a method of using of computer realm (now currently known as GNCS). She would take money from many corrupt individuals in power but she eventually end up killing many of them because of the atrocities that were going on during the war, especially in her own country. She developed her own following as a result, earning the love and the hatred of many people. Xiomyra kept her true identity hidden as she operated as the Dark Prominence. After a while, she begins her conquest, intending to kill Geddon and Hitler next as they were both in the European region, near where her parents work in the Metopian installations as Shayo Industry employees. She would fight with many individuals like Variant, Zeta and Takuya as they had opposing views and in some areas Dark Prominence was considered an outlaw. Dark Prominence eventually runs into a man known as Kajido whom was conducting corrupt science experiments on individuals in the Shayo Industries on Geddon's behalf. She injures Kajido but she is ambushed by war machines known as Genoloids as well as Nazi troops. She was rescued by Variant. She realizes that her family could be in danger and she proceeds to go back to the Shayo Industry building to save them. Even though, she managed to reach her parents, Dark Prominence was badly injured. Her parents took whatever chance they could to save their daughter even after realizing that she was in fact the real Dark Prominence. Xiomyra would be subjected to cryosleep as a result as it was a project that her parents had been working on for years on behalf of the Metopian society and the Shayo Industries. Xiomyra would remain in cryosleep long after the war was over. It was not until a few years before the original Techno Panic game that Xiomyra would walk the Earth again. Xiomyra had the ability to control ice. After some time, she tries to adjust to the world she is living in today, once again becoming the Dark Prominence while posing as a Private Detective from New York...

* Freeze Affect *
- Some of Xiomyra's moves will freeze the opponent. The freeze effect will last for 1.5 seconds.  Xiomyra can only freeze the opponent ONCE during a single combo. Otherwise, regular hit effects will take place.

* Internal Slot Machine *
- Below Xiomyra's health bar, there is a small black slot machine, consisting of four icons (A "7", "Robot Gear", "Wine Glass" and "Diamond"). If three of the same kind are lined, the following affects will take place:
> 3 Seven's = The stage becomes misty and coins will drop erratically throughout the stage. This may change the way Xiomyra's combos work. When she juggle's the opponents and if a coin contact them during the juggle, they are knocked upwards and they suffer 90 damage per hit. However, the reverse can be inflicted on Xiomyra herself as well. Lasts for 10 seconds.
> 3 Gears = Three flipping cards will appear on the screen. The three icy cards will either be a regular card or it will have a random control button put onto it. The game random picks a card. If a button card is highlighted, one of the buttons on the opponents control stick is locked for 10 seconds. Otherwise, nothing happens if a regular card is highlighted.
> 3 Wine Glasses = Health is gradually accumulated and no chip damage is taken on block. Lasts for 7 seconds.
> 3 Diamonds = The stage darkens and becomes frosty. 1 second is added on to freeze elements and she can freeze the opponent more than once. Affects will last for the entire match. After every 3 Diamonds, 1 second is added on and she can freeze the opponent once more during the combo.

- Walk speed is slower that average. Standardized run speed and average jumping height.

- Xiomyra is the series' resident "Bruce Lee" character.

- Dark Prominence is an alias that Xiomyra utilizes when she is conducting a hit or if she is going to expose someone, hiding
her identity completely.

- The Internal Slot Machine is a secondary gimmick that allow additional events to take place during the match.
In terms of story line, she uses mainly to gain an advantage in combative situations or if she needs to escape.

- Xiomyra is a somewhat standardized Techno Panic character if her freezing abilities, button locking and Internal Slot Machine was taken away. Fundamentally, Xiomyra requires very good timing and calculation... which is exactly what the general consensus of the general "Techno Panic" approach is.

- When a button is locked, the player is shown which button is locked. It is also possible to lock more than one button at a time. The button that is locked is always randomized, however.

- A lot of Xiomyra's moves are either ice puns or they are named after Poker terms.

- Cold Deck is a very good move to use during combos and in the neutral. The reason why it is so good to use for the latter is because if a punch button is held, the player has the option to cancel out of it by pressing back twice or access three other special moves. Otherwise, if the punch is released, she performs the follow up.


= Unique Traits / Personality / Habits =
- The color of Xiomyra's ice are dark purple and black. They all have a rather dark color. Much like Eiji, her snow and ice manipulation are not infinite. She can wield ice and snow on a passive basis because it is difficult to utilize. She can only got a hold of the power after she went through cryosleep.

- Xiomyra plays with her hair a lot of she is thinking or contemplating something.

- The reason why she became the Dark Prominence back in the days of World War II is because she grew fed up with how her family and friends were treated by those who were in power. Xiomyra was also somewhat childish and she could not understand why people discriminate against each other in China or in any other part of the world. She hated people who abused their power, so she basically became a punisher and a thief.
At the time, she had quite a bit in common with the likes of both Eiji and Kagekiyo(Devil).
After going through cryosleep after World War II and adjusting to the new world around her, she mellowed out considerably. She reassumes her role as Dark Prominence... this time she is far stronger and smarter than she could ever be back in the days of World War II. To hide her identity she abandons her nationality, creates her own identity to become a detective, while operating as the Dark Prominence.

- Xiomyra did not "master" any particular fighting style. She relies purely on common sense and things that she learned from watching other martial artists. Xiomyra picked up street fighting tactics and Chinese Boxing in the days of World War II in her country. Two years after she was released from cryosleep, she was introduced to Jeet Kune Do. She had a odd fascination with his shows, along with several martial arts flicks from other actors.

- As a detective, Xiomyra is rather talkative and likes to showcase a (albeit strange) sense of humor. She is not overly trusting though and she knows when she needs to keep quiet. She also has a tendency of being somewhat cold towards individuals she is not familiar with but the reason for this is because of first impression. She is not trying to be mean. She needs people that she does mean people and she will only warm up to others if she sees them as decent individuals. She operates more or less the same as a club bouncer and waitress.

- Xiomyra had already survived Electrotoxin before actually becoming the Dark Prominence. Her parents were trying to develop a cure for through cryogenetics but Xiomyra had already succeeded in surviving Electrotoxin.

- Has a passive rivalry against Andre O'Day. Xiomyra admires Andre's intelligence but she disagrees with his "in-your-face" approach in investigations.

- Xiomyra is fully aware of the fact that there is another Dark Prominence and that the name itself has its own following. She has no idea "who" the current Dark Prominence is. She does know that Dark Prominence is a "weapon" utilized by the ICNU to "change the course of history."

- Xiomyra does not like guns.

- Xiomyra NEVER EVER uses her darkness or ice powers if she is not Dark Prominence. This is another measure taken to hide her identity as Dark Prominence. The only thing that people know about the original Dark Prominence is that fact that she is a female and that she uses cards, ice, snow and darkness as a recurring elements.

- Rarely gets drunk and can easily consume A LOT of alcohol. She often resorts to this to pry for information or to cause people to start acting irrational.

- Xiomyra loves Eiji but she also needs to keep her identity as Dark Prominence a secret from him until her name is cleared. Her as the Dark Prominence is one of the primary suspects of the robot outbreak that happened in New York towards the beginning of the first game. Xiomyra initially thought that Eiji was just some two-bit Net Ranger Officer who flaunts his authority and makes reckless decisions, considering his reputation. But, Xiomyra realized that Eiji was just a poor man who lost his father because of the robot outbreak and that Eiji also wanted to do good for society, much like Xiomyra wanted to when she became the Dark Prominence. She accompanies him as a result in hopes of solving the investigation and clearing her name as Dark Prominence. She treats him like a distant yet loving mother so to speak.
