Hon Arkraptor (혼 아크랩터, Hon Ahkeuraepteo; or "Horn Arkraptor") is a Regular who has so far ascended to the 28th Floor.

Appearance and Personality
Hon has close-cropped silver hair, and fights with a small lance that can fire Shinsoo over a long distance. The lance can also open up like an umbrella to be used as a shield. He does not get along well with others, and tries to attack his allies even when they have a common enemy. Initially he is disliked even more than Viole by the other Regulars. Later on he acts as the voice of reason in the group, sometimes calming down other members when they are upset about their situation. Akraptor has taken a responsible role in the team and acts as the team's councilor, often intervening when it looks like a team member's personal feelings are getting in the way of cooperation. He is protective of Miseng since he used to be a father.

Powers and Abilities
Akraptor fights using his weapon. It looks like a lance when he attacks and opens like an umbrella when he blocks. He is able to shoot Shinsoo using it.

Last chance
Hon Akraptor's first appearance is in Season 2 Chapter 2. Kang Horyang and Ja Wangnan feel that he is dangerous, though he seems to be docile. He says it would be a waste of effort to fight, but begins to show his true colors by proposing a vote on who will fail. Akraptor votes for Miseng, surprising everyone and upsetting Goseng. He tells that this is a better method than fighting it out. He prompts the next person to vote and Ja Wangnan votes for Akraptor. Akraptor shrugs this off and asks what Horyang thinks. Before he can respond, Viole stands up and announces that he would drop them all.



Irritated by this, Akraptor points his umbrella like weapon at Viole and tells him to repeat himself, but Viole simply attacks him. Akraptor is surprised at Viole's speed and strength, sensing that he may be dangerous. When Horyang steps in to try to convice Viole to stop, Akraptor fires at them both, only to pretend it was an accident. The second time he does this, Horyang counterattacks, and Viole is able to blast them both away. Once Goseng identifies Viole as a member of FUG, Akraptor realizes that fighting Viole head on would be dangerous and proposes to Horyang an alliance "in order to survive that monster." Horyang gets Viole trapped, and Akraptor does manage to get a shot at him, but it is blocked. Viole then lauches himself away from Teddy and to attack Akraptor on the other side of the room. Akraptor opens his weapon (umbrella style) to stop Viole's retaliation, only to be blasted away again by a delayed Shinsoo bomb. When Wangnan manages to knock Viole down, Akraptor yells at him to seize the chance to attack again. The first part of the test ends before anyone is seriously hurt.

While everyone is waiting for the other Regulars to arrive for the second part of the test, Miseng offers chips to eat. Akraptor holds out his hand while saying, "Hmph. Something like chips..." As a result, she gives this to everyone (including Viole) except Akraptor. After Viole is given chips, Akraptor looks at his empty hand.

The Strongest Regular
In the World's Strongest Regular Test, Akraptor manages to place first among the first 18 regulars with 3,250 points. Horyang and rest of the regulars all best this score. After seeing Yihwa fight with Prince over their scores, he laughs at them and says that they weren't getting first place anyway. He tells all the others that Viole is the strongest Regular (This is incorrect, as Viole/Baam is an Irregular, though this fact is not known by the others). He smirks when Viole gets first place, proving him right.

When Test Administrator Loveannounces that Viole would be picking the remaining seven members to make a team, Akraptor is the second person to make a plea to Viole. He gets on his knees and says that he wishes to meet his daughter with tears in his eyes. Wangnan calls him out on this, saying something like that wouldn't make sense. When Miseng cries out to Viole, Akraptor claims her as his daughter (perhaps as a half-joke). He is shocked when Viole announces that he would not accept any teammates and appears unsettled when Viole declares himself as their enemy. He went to rest in the baths with the others, and appeared to strike up the beginnings of a friendship with Horyang. He also violently shooed Yeongsuk away from Miseng, finding the former a dangerous person.

The Untrustworthy Room
During the Untrustworthy Room Test, Akraptor left his room with Horyang to look for allies. He tried to get into Miseng's room but was kept out, and so started playing a word game with her until Yeongsuk arrived, When the latter revealed her plan to attack Miseng, Akraptor fought and defeated her, and subsequently tied her up. Afterwards, he, Goseng and Wangnan were forced to enter Miseng's room to avoid Viole. He goes with Wangnan to steal Yeongsuk's room. When Nia's betrayal and death occurred, Wangnan leaves the room in order to get Viole, forcing Akraptor to stay behind. After the test he is seen with the rest of the passing Regulars.

FUG
While preparing for the next test, Akraptor is living with the others in the house Viole bought for their use. Akraptor takes on the role of a reasonable and calm parental figure. When Yihwa was brought back after confronting the FUG members in the shopping district, Akraptor reasons with her by telling her that she needs Viole since she cannot control her own powers.

Zygaena's Flower
During the 21st Floor test, he splits off into a group with Wangnan, Miseng, and Goseng to search for the flower of Zygaena. While waiting for Miseng to come back after entering a tunnel, he and Wangnan go look around by themselves. Noticing Wangnan's serious face and his sudden effort in training after meeting FUG, Akraptor questions him. Wangnan informs him that if they fail any tests, one of Viole's friends would die. They are then informed that they must meet up to defeat an enemy. Akraptor does cooperative play with Wangnan to stop the enemy but like the others, they fail. Akraptor stands with Horyang and Wangnan, all of them visibly shaking, to face the man that so easily defeated them to prevent him from killing Viole. The enemy spares them because of Viole's actions and they are surprised to learn the man they were fighting was Urek Mazino. After passing the test, Akraptor, along with Horyang and Prince, give Wangnan their support in helping Viole meet his friends.

Connection
Akraptor lured the enemy team to a clearing in order to paralyze them with Miseng and Goseng's lighthouses. After they get blown up by Yihwa, he, along with the others rush to Viole. Afterwards, he listens to Kang Horyang's story.

Relationships
Ja Wangnan: Though they are part of the same team, Akraptor harbors a slight dislike for Wangnan due to his jokes aimed at him having a daughter. However, it appears that he is beginning to have some respect for Wangnan due to his planning skills and the empathy that Wangnan has shown. He has shown support to Wangnan's decision of helping Viole, even when Wangnan himself wavered.

Kang Horyang: Akraptor gets along very well with Horyang, especially after teaming up against Viole and then becoming roommates. He knows that Horyang has a crush on Goseng.

Yeo Miseng: Akraptor actively protects Miseng, treating her as if she were his daughter. He is not overprotective of Miseng and allows her room to grow as an independant individual.

Yeo Goseng: Initially Goseng was antagonistic towards him when she thought he was picking on Miseng. They appear to have a good working relationship now that they are on the same team. He has nicknamed her "Glasses."

Jyu Viole Grace: Akraptor viewed Viole as a monster at first, but began to see a little deeper into his character during The Untrustworthy Room test. After passing the 20F, Akraptor seems to trust Viole a little and doesn't interfere in his personal business. He seems sympathetic to Viole's plight and is willing to help Viole meet his friends, an action that he knows is against FUG's wishes.

Yeon Yihwa: The two seem to have a good working relationship. Akraptor once gave her sound advice when she was being particularly difficult about Viole being a FUG member, telling her that she needed to realize the reality of her not being a beneficial member in any other team than theirs because of her inability of control her powers.

Prince: Akraptor likes to pick on Prince since he is so easy to rile up.

Notes and Trivia

 * It is implied that Miseng reminded Akraptor of his actual daughter so he tried to avoid fighting her during the first test on the 20th Floor.
 * In the Afterword for Season 2, Chapter 12, SIU states that Miseng is not Akraptor's daughter.
 * It has been hinted that Akraptor has a grudge against the current system. First, he and Horyang have a conversation where they both decide that teaming up with a FUG slayer candidate and becoming an enemy of Zahard isn't such a bad thing. Second, he has a small flashback about his daughter being taken away from him.
