Your perimeter is secure for now, your supplies are adequate, and between your eighteen genin, your six chūnin and your three jōnin, you have a good range of skills and expertise. After three weeks on the run, you were able to find a safe place to make a longer-term base, with concealment on the level of a small ninja village. But your village wanted you dead, and your other choices were to continue with the suicide mission, or to go back and face court martial for abandoning it. It meant giving up on countless hopes, ambitions and plans. It meant abandoning your friends and family. Your death sentences were already signed. What mattered was that you were being led into a battle you couldn't win, your purpose to soften up the enemy before the real squads arrived and completed the mission. You were a collection of problem ninja - some with histories of insubordination, others whose loyalty had come under question or who had shown excessive ambition. You discovered that you weren't a heroic strike force. With the entire camp watching, it was too late for damage control, so Shikigami-sensei told you all the truth, and showed you the commander's documents. After a second's silence, Shikigami-sensei emerged from the tent, covered in blood. Then, before any of you could get close, a brilliant flash of light that could only have been ninjutsu. Raised voices coming from the commander's tent. A dream come true for a genin afraid that their career was over before it had even begun.īut after a week's travel came the night when things went wrong. A powerful battle unit that would march into contested territory and end the region’s biggest conflict once and for all. You were one of many genin on the mission, led by several chūnin, and even multiple jōnin. It was nothing like the missions you were used to. So when it seemed like the Powers That Be had finally forgiven you, and wanted you to be part of something important again, you jumped at the chance.
MARKED FOR DEATH SERIES
After the series of unfortunate incidents that had you branded "disrespectful of authority", you'd been stuck with one D-rank mission after another, using your finely-honed skills to chop onions and stack boxes while your fellow genin battled brigands and infiltrated criminal associations.

Since the Stalker becomes the Shadow Stalker with the completion of The Second Dream, his form is determined by whether his target has completed the aforementioned Quest the state of the quest of any other player in the attacked squad does not matter.As Baro Ki'Teer's stock changes with every appearance, he may not have Beacons for purchase in future visits. Despite their high prices, beacons are consumed upon use. Only one type of beacon can be used per mission. This allows players to summon assassins regardless of faction type or Death Mark availability (though players will still consume a Death Mark if they use a Beacon when they have a Death Mark). Players can also manually summon an Assassin by using Beacons purchased from Baro Ki'Teer, which cost 125,000 Credits 125,000 and 200 Ducats 200. Players are typically required to defeat the Assassin in order to continue the mission (as they typically initiate a Lockdown upon spawning, trapping the player in the room they spawn in), and the Death Mark is only consumed if the player defeats the assassin or conversely, the assassin defeats the player.
MARKED FOR DEATH UPDATE

The Stalker's Death Mark is obtained by completing a successful Assassination mission on most bosses (with the exception of Captain Vor's encounter on Mercury or his Corrupted counterpart in high-level Void missions, Zealot Prelate on Deimos, and the Ropalolyst on Jupiter players can get a Death Mark from Vor if they fight him on Ceres), whereas the Death Marks of the Zanuka Hunter or The Grustrag Three are obtained by completing 5 Invasion missions for the opposing faction (i.e. Assassin Death Marks are typically obtained by completing certain missions, and attract the attention of either the Stalker (be it his regular variant or his Shadow variant, depending on whether or not the player has completed The Second Dream), the Zanuka Hunter or The Grustrag Three.
