User blog:GoDai/GoDai's Translations: People and Groups in the Tower (1)

Selected, Non-selected, Rankers, and High Rankers
(GoDai: This is from the official fan cafe, but is not actually by SIU, but rather by one of the users who has meticulously gathered and organized the info given to us so far. While I do trust this person, they could make as many errors or assumptions as I could. This is also translated to provide some context and insight into what the Korean fanbase thinks.)

The following is a simple summary. I may add info from other sources later on.

Selected
Headon (헤돈), the Administrator of 1F, travels across all floors and selects people that catch his eye. The selected people are known as selected members (선별인원, seonbyeolinwon; "chosen regulars"). These people begin at 2F (Evankhell's floor) and climb the Tower. Once they have passed 20F, they receive benefits and may live in the middle area (중간 지역, joonggahn jiyeok), between the Inner and Outer Tower areas.

Non-selected
Those who open the doors and enter the Tower without having been invited by Headon are known as non-selected members (비선별인원, biseonbyeolinwon; "members who have not been chosen" or "irregulars"). Primary examples include: Technically, Zahard (자하드, Jahahdeu; or "Jahad") is a non-selected member. However, at the time he entered the Tower with his allies, the term "non-selected member" did not even exist.
 * Pentaminum (펜타미넘, Pehntamineom; or "Phantaminum")
 * Enryu (엔류, Enryu)
 * Urek Mazino (우렉 마지노, Oorek Majino)
 * Bam (밤, Bahm; "Night")
 * Rachel (라헬, Rahel)

(GoDai's note: Well there you have it, folks. Koreans openly declare that Rachel is an Irregular.)

Rankers
"Ranker" (랭커, raengkeo) is a title given to those who reach 134F. These people are granted large numers of benefits, including the right to travel freely between the Inner Tower, Middle Area, and Outer Tower. There are around one hundred thousand rankers in the Tower. Rankers are monsters that have passed through the extreme competition rate of "several ten thousand : 2~3". Some examples include:


 * Lero- Ro (레로 로)


 * Quant Blitz (퀀트 블릿츠)


 * Mule Love (뮬 러브)

High Rankers
The title "High Ranker" (하이 랭커, hai raengkeo) is given to people that are in the top 1% of all rankers. Therefore, there are one thousand high rankers. Some examples include:
 * Ha Yuri Zahard (하 유리 자하드)
 * Evan Edrok (에반 에드록)

Wolhaiksong
"...he made a group known as Wolhaiksong, which has come to possess a power that even the 10 Great Families fear..."

Wolhaiksong (월하익송, Weolhaiksong; most likely 月下翼松; "The Winged Tree Under the Moon") is arguably the most powerful organization in the Tower, founded by Urek Majino (우렉 마지노, Oorehk Mahjino; or "Urek Mazino") and Baekryun (백련, Baekryeon). It is known to be a friendly organization, and also has the goal of getting out of the Tower. Also called the "Wingtree" (윙트리, Wingteuri), the name of the organization originates from one of Urek and Baekryun's anecdotes. Although it is widely believed that the Wolhaiksong is an anti-monarchy (anti-Jahad) organization, it's more like their progressive image of exiting the Tower disagrees with the kingdom's conservative ideals.

Baekryun Urek Majino
 * The current head of Wolhaiksong. He is said to be one the most outstanding Wave Wielders in the Tower's history.
 * It is said he heard stories about the outside of the Tower from Urek, and came to want to get out of the Tower as well. It is no overstatement to say that Wolhaiksong could not have been founded without Urek.
 * Urek Majino transferred Baekryun's forest to 77F, and together with Urek and the founding members, Baekryun planted the Wingtree.

"Ice Strawberry" (얼음딸기, Eoleumddahlgi) Hachling (하츨링, Hahcheulling) Ha Yuri Jahad Kurdan (쿠르단, Kooreudahn)
 * An amazing High Ranker who set the record for climbing the Tower in the shortest time using normal methods - 50 years. Like most of the other High Rankers, he is very capable of filling all the positions. He has called Kun Edan "an opponent I really want to fight" and fought Arieh Hon on an equal level when he was only a selected member (aka "Regular").
 * Urek's and Baekryun's influence is comparable to one of the 10 Families.
 * Although there aren't enough details, it seems it is a fact that Urek came into the Tower chasing after Pentaminum.
 * In a woman's perspective, Yuri has stated that he is "the best to fight with, but the worst man to live with".
 * One of Wolhaiksong's members. A member of a branch of the Eurasia Family, it appears that "Ice Strawverry" is a false name.
 * Her childlike appearance may be involved with the fact that Eurasia Blossom is said to bear a childlike appearance...
 * One of Wolhaiksong's members. He originates from the Kun family.
 * Although it was originally speculated that he was a Lighthouse Keeper seeing his control over Lighthouses, SIU has stated that his position is a Scout.
 * Not actually a Wolhaiksong member, but she was one of the many Rankers present during the planting of the Wingtree. She is maintains friendly relationships with Wolhaiksong's members.
 * One of Wolhaiksong's members. He is a Wave Wielder, and holds the special position Dansulsa (단술사, Dahnsoolsa; ?術士; "? Technician")

FUG
"...Luslec, the god of FUG, the most secret and dangerous criminal organization in the Tower..."

No exact details are known about the goals of FUG (퍼그/FUG, Peogeu), but they hide in the dark areas of the Tower, corrupting people. FUG is a sort of religious sect that is bound together by one common faith, and it can be said that their characteristics are completely opposite to those of Wolhaiksong (It is said that FUG and Wolhaiksong do not have a good relationship.). The elimination of FUG is often an important duty to the 10 Great Families. However, unlike Wolhaiksong, FUG does not hold power that is comparable to those of the 10 Families.

FUG has a total of 11 Slayers (슬레이여, Seulaeiyeo), and among the 7 living Slayers, 5 are missing, while the other 2, including Luslec, are reigning as devils. 4 seats are currently empty.

Grace Mirchia Luslec (그레이스 미르치아 루슬렉, Geuraeiseu Mireuchia Luseulaek) Jyu Viole Grace (쥬 비올레 그레이스, Jyoo Biohlae Geuraeiseu) Karaka (카라카, Kahrahka)
 * FUG's living god. People also call him "God of Devils" (악마들의 신, Ahkmahdeuleui Shin) or "Demon King" (마왕, Mahwahng; 魔王). He is FUG's No. 1 Slayer.
 * It is said that he was one of the helpers who climbed the Tower with the 10 Families (GoDai: This would refer to Jahad and the 10 house heads), and it is unknown why he became corrupted.
 * A selected member (aka "Regular") who claims he is a Slayer candidate. He is currently taking the test on the 20th floor.
 * Although it is pretty much agreed upon that he is Bam (밤, Bahm; "Night"), SIU has not confirmed this.
 * One of the current Slayers.
 * It is said that only two Slayers active, including Luslec. Karaka is the most likely to be the other one.

The Workshop of the Tower
"There is no way to know the origin of the Gongbang. This is because the ultimate goal of the Gongbang is to find that origin..."

The Workshop (공방, Gongbahng; probably 工房; or "Gong Bang") of the Tower originates from the best craftsman in the Tower, Mexcess (멕세스, Meksehseu; or "Macseth"). It is known that Mexcess has been living in the Tower since long before the 10 House Heads entered the Tower, and almost all that is called "science" in the Tower originates from Mexcess.

The people of Gongbang are not included in the Rankings, but they possess battle abilities and influence equal to or greater than S-class Rankers.

It is said that they have a law that they can only make an object for "he/she who is worthy to possess that object".

Mexcess
The father of Gongbang, Mexcess. He is the best craftsman in the Tower, and is the man who created the White Oar (화이트 오어, Hwaiteu O'eo), the only S+ Rank weapon in the Tower. It is said that he has not created any items ever since he crafted this one. All of the Fathers of Gongbang are artifical lifeforms that he has created. However, this does not mean all of Gongbang's members are artificial lifeforms. Only those called "Fathers" in the Gongbang are his artificial lifeforms.

Ashul Edwaru
The craftsman who made the 13 Months Series.

Items of the Tower
When one says "item", we commonly think of weapons. The most basic weapons of the Tower include needles, hooks, swords, spears, and so on.

Needle
"This is the most basic weapon of the Tower, the "needle". Needles are usually used to stab and pierce the enemy."

As it stabs and pierces, it receives less resistance from shinsu. This part... it's ambiguous for me to explain. Other weapons like swords are for swinging, but needles just stab so they receive small resistance from shinsu.

In stabbing range the resistance from shinsu is small, but in cutting range the resistance from shinsu gets bigger. (..If you can't understand please comment ㅠ)

(GoDai: When you attack with a needle, the surface that has to go through shinsu is a dot. When you attack with a sword, the surface that has to go through shinsu is a line.)


 * Black March (검은 삼월, Geomeun Sahmwol): The only named needle in the series.

Hook
"A hook that gets longer?"

Hooks are weapons that normally do not increase in length. It's just that Anak Jahad's Green April is a weapon that elongates. Normal hooks are weapons used for hooking in order to limit the opponent's movements.


 * Green April (초록 사월, Chorok Sahwol): The only named hook in the series.

Sword
"Do you know? The concentration of shinsu increases every time you go up a floor, so eventually there will be no swordsmen who use swords with large frictional areas?"

As stated in the series, swords receive large influence from shinsu. I hope you understand the above explanation ㅠㅠ. Swords attack while receiving a large resistance from shinsu because they are swung.


 * White Oar (화이트 오어, Hwaiteu O'eo): The highest-ranked weapon in the Tower at S+ Rank. A weapon created by Mexcess, it is owned by Arieh Hon.

Spear
"The "Spear Keeper", who either dominates using a spear or throws a spear from the back of the battle in order to hold back or assassinate opponents"

Spears can be identified with the above statement. They are either:


 * Spears that one carries around, the type we usually think of.

Some known spears in the series:
 * Spears that you throw from a distance.


 * Blue Gigantic Spear (푸른 거창, Pureun Geochang): A weapon that, when activated (ignited), destroys everything around it as it flies toward its target. Possessed by Kun Edan.


 * Mago (마고, Mahgo): There is a joke that this weapon pierces through half of the Tower when decompressed. When decompressed, its rank increases abnormally. Possessed by Kun Edan.

Lighthouse
A necessary item for Lighthouse Keepers (등대지기, deungdaejigi; or "Light Bearer"). An object that releases very bright light, it is a scouting device that has various forms. Few units of small lighthouses and one main body lighthouse are used together. Commonly lighthouses are used for support.


 * Opera (오페라, Ohpehra): One of the best lighthouses in the Tower. It is said that it increases shinsu manipulation range to near infinity (theoretically). Currently possessed by its manufacturer Tu Perie Tperie, as well as Jaina Repellista Jahad and Flux (플럭스, Peulleokseu; or "Plux").


 * Eye of God (신의 눈, Shineui Noon; or "Eyes of God"): Another one of the best lighthouses in the Tower, its creator is unknown. It is said that its owner Tu Perie Tperie enjoys using this lighthouse over the Opera.

Inventory
There are three major kinds of inventory.


 * Arms Inventory (암스 인벤토리, ahmseu inbentori): stores weapons
 * Armor Inventory (아머 인벤토리, ahmeo inbentori): stores defensive items


 * Reel Inventory (릴 인벤토리, ril inbentori): stores reel(s)

They can be made invisible by saying "invisible mode" and visible by saying "visible mode".

Pocket
Said to translate all languages in the Tower. Not only that, it carries nearly all functions required for everyday life, such as timer, phone, and light functions. All selected members and non-selected members receive a pocket.

Wand
A weapon that seems to aid in manipulating shinsu.
