Kang Horyang

Kang Horyang is a Regular currently on the 20th floor. His past is unknown, but his strength cannot be questioned. His true objectives and intentions are currently unknown, but he seems to be one of the more noble Regulars, despite seeming quiet and cold.

Appearance and Personality
Kang Horyang is a Regular that we meet first time in Ch. 82. He is a massive, brooding man with a strange mark floating above his right shoulder. His upper body and possibly lower body, seems to be wrapped in black bandages, which have buttons.

He generally keeps quiet, but can be ferocious in combat. Along with Hon Akraptor he tried to take on Viole, but was defeated when caught off guard. Nevertheless, he survived and passed the Survival Round test.

The mark over his shoulder seems to change depending on his emotions. It normally takes the shape of a blue wing, but turns red when he is embarrased. It will also take the shape of a boot, which enhances his speed, or a shield, which allows him to resist attacks.

It's unknown for now, if the source of this mark results from a born ability or an implant(shinsoo or otherwise).

Tower of God: Part 2 - The Return of the Prince
Horyang first appears on the 20th Floor when Ja Wangnan was about to attack him. Through some negotiations, they agreed to team up for the test. He doesn't contribute much at first until Hon Akraptor joins the group. When Horyang was about to choose who to vote off, Viole interrupts them saying, "There's no need to vote. It's because you will all fall by my hand". During Viole and Akraptor's fight, he intervenes trying to stop Viole. He is about to attack Viole until Akraptor fires a beam of shinsoo from his umbrella. However, they continue fighting again until Akraptor's next beam hits him and Horyang switches his target to Akraptor. Before he can land an attack on Akraptor, Viole sends them flying back with his shinsoo technique. At this point, they agree to team up against Viole with Horyang holding him down. The plan fails and both of them are knocked out immediately after. Soon, the time runs out and all of them pass the first test.

In the second test, which is a Shinsoo Strengthening Test, he is the 19th person to go. He is repulsed by the Lurker boss's son when he makes a bet on who gets the Yeon girl. He steps up to the machine and hits it with his Fire Fist Boost. He manages to score 1st with 6350 points before the "Devil of the Right Hand" steps up. After placing 5th, Love announces that Viole will pick the remaining seven members. This causes Ja Wangnan to plead his case to Viole, followed by Arkraptor. Horyang simply kneels and states, "Pick me. There is someone I must find."

In the resting period before the test, he bonds with Arkraptor. During the Untrustworthy Room Test, he helps the others in stealing a room. When Wangnan runs off to get Viole's help in killing Lurker, Horyang makes the strategic decision of abandoning a room in order to prevent the team's loss. He Leaves by himself to help Prince.

Powers and Abilities
Horyang has proven to be a powerful hand-to-hand combatant, which combined with his blue wing, makes him a force to be reckoned with. His wing can take the following forms.

Blue Wing : The default form his buff takes. It is unknown if it has any uses at all.

Red Fist: I t is his usual choice of offense. It has the ability to make his right hand grow to enormous scales. It is unknown if this can be used for both his arms.

Boot: Raising his speed, Horyang can reach his opponent in a matter of moments.

Shield: Used as his main defense, this shield makes his body almost invulnerable. It's yet to be clarified if he is truly invincible when he uses it and if he is able to move when he does so. With it, he can at least block Viole's reinforced Shinsoo Punch.

Fire Fist: Like his normal fist, this buff makes his fist grow in size. It has the additional effect of burning the target.

Notes and Trivia

 * When he is attracted to someone, his wing will turn into two hearts.
 * He allowed Miseng to ride on his shoulders, so she could see. (Note: despite misconception, he was not holding thumbs with Miseng. That was actually Miseng holding her camera phone.)
 * He is quite powerful, more powerful than Akraptor in fact. He got a score of 6350 in the "World's Greatest Shinsoo Competition".
 * His wing turned into crying eyes when it looked like Goseng failed The World's Greatest Shinsoo Contest.
 * His wing turned into a devil's face when Ja Wangnan almost took his pants off.
 * Because of his mark, Horyang is horrible at card games. It is presumed that he is also horrible at keeping secrets.
