Position

Positions are the roles one would take on in battle should they be in a team.

The Definition of the Position
The battles in the Tower are mostly fought as teams and the Position (포지션, pojisheon) is the role an individual plays in a team. Of course it's possible to battle without deciding the Positions, but it's more efficient to divide Positions. The names or the roles are named mostly from the battles of the first 10 Great Families. Thus, the Positions are mainly based on the men vs Shinheuh - livings battles, rather than the men vs men battles. That doesn't mean current Positions are worthless in men vs men battles.

Now that the importance of the men vs men battles are getting bigger than before in the Tower, current Positions are evolving accordingly. All Positions have to make a contract with a Guardian so they are able to use Shinsoo for purposes like Shinsoo strengthening.

Note that one person is not limited to one position. Prince is a Light Bearer, yet possesses Fisherman equipment, and Koon Ran is a Fisherman, but can take the Spear Bearer position with his Lightning Spear techniques. Scouts like Hatsu would also be good at the Fisherman position and Scouts like Leesoo would be good at commanding and strategising, hence his suitability for the Light Bearer position. Apple is capable of being both a Scout and Light Bearer. The top rankers, or at least Urek Mazino and Zahard, are masterfully capable of taking up all position.

The term "Fisherman" (낚시꾼을, nakksikkun-eul) is used to refer to someone that is a perfect combatant capable of fighting in all types of battles; "Fishermen" (낚시꾼은, nakksikkun-eun) is the plural term.

Basic Positions
There are five basic positions in a common team.

Notes and Trivia

 * As the story develops, battles that utilize positions, such as combinations like Light Bearer-Spear Bearer and Scout-Fisherman will come out one by one.
 * If positions fight each other, in most cases Fisherman wins.
