Twenty-Fifth Baam/Relationships

Part 1
Rachel: Baam has a deep and complicated relationship with her. They were very good friends and views her as an older sister figure. She was the reason why he entered the tower in the first place. However, since Rachel requested Koon to lie about her identity, Baam wonders why she will not just reveal herself to him and is aware she may not want him to follow her. Baam decides to do so anyways and is eventually betrayed by her, confusing him. Therefore, he decides to climb the tower in order to rationalize which action to take when he confronts her. When Love asks Baam about his reason for joining FUG, he responds that he is looking for someone, hinted to be Rachel.



Koon Agero Agnis: Baam was a little uneasy with Koon at first, but they've become good friends, despite having contrasting personalities and characteristics. Koon has aided Baam countless times throughout various obstacles presented in the Second Floor. After learning Baam was an Irregular, Koon put his status on the line to aid him. Koon saw something within Baam which he had lost a long time ago, and was determined to help Baam get to the top. Even after Baam's supposed death, he still wants to keep the team that Baam would've wanted to protect going asking Ship Leesoo to lead the other team. Koon is still willing to go to lengths to find out about Baam's "murderers", even having to deal with the "woman who killed [his] most precious friend" (Rachel).

Rak: Baam is also friends with Rak, although Rak is a little bit annoyed by him at times. When Baam is injured, Rak seems concerned about him. Rak wishes for Baam to keep climbing The Tower, claiming that it is because he could continue to hunt him.

Hatsu: Hatsu and Baam get along well and have an easy friendship. Baam helped him fill up his friends list, to which Hatsu seemed grateful. After the Submerged Fish Hunt ended, he became agitated when Parakewl was only concerned about whether they passed. When Parakewl kept using the word 'dead', Hatsu threatened to kill him. He felt indebted to Baam and was the first to propose to helping Rachel climb The Tower. In Part 2, when Baam found out that the 'Devil of the Right Hand' had defeated Hatsu, he seemingly challenges Rapdevil, which shows that he still cares deeply for his old team.

Ship Leesoo: These two are friendly with each other. Although Leesoo knew that Koon manipulated everyone into helping Baam for the Submerged Fish Hunt, he didn't tell anyone because he too wanted to help Baam. When he thought Baam was dead, he supported the idea of helping Rachel to honor Baam's wishes and was the one to gather everyone for it.

Androssi: At first she was indifferent to Baam, but as time progressed they became friends. She seems to have a crush on him (unconfirmed). After learning that Baam was an Irregular, she put her status as a Zahard's princess on the line to help him. She coached Baam on fighting in preparation for the Submerged Fish Hunt. Baam appears to have influenced her somewhat. When Ren attempted to kill Anak using her, she thought of the conversation with Baam on loneliness.

Team Tangsooyook
Ja Wangnan: Wangnan used to fear Viole to the point of avoidance. It is unknown what Baam personally thinks of Wangnan, but Wangnan thought of Baam as a monster (he called him a demon of destruction) due to his power and his stated goal. As time progresses, he learnt of Baam's past and the unwanted life forced upon him. Wangnan thinks highly of Viole now that he knows Viole's reasons for fighting and appears to want to become friends. Wangnan appears to be the most concerned over Viole, wishing to help him achieve his goals and worrying over him.

Yeon Yihwa: They shared a room on 20F, much to Yihwa's displeasure. Yihwa thinks Viole is suspicious, but appears open to the idea that Viole might not be as bad as he appears. Most of their antagonism is due to the fact that Viole says he has no interest in her physically (an insult since Yihwa considers herself beautiful) and that Viole can cook better than her. Yihwa however warmed up to Viole and now sees him as a good person after he protected Miseng from Urek almost at the cost of his life. Yihwa seemed to be genuinely concerned for Viole and is trying to nurse him back to health.

Kang Horyang: Horyang respects Viole for his strength and is wary of the red exoskeleton Viole possesses, since it reminds him of a living iginition weapon. He doesn't appear to think badly or hold a grudge against Viole for his actions. Later, Viole earns his respect, and knows that Viole is a good person.

Akraptor: Akraptor seems to trust Viole to a certain extent. He doesn't meddle with Viole's personal affairs and doesn't seem to judge him for being part of FUG. He is the most pragmatic of the group concerning Viole and the group's position. He also treats Viole as a friend and is willing to help him after finding out the reason he is climbing the tower.

Yeo Miseng: At first Miseng feared Viole but was always polite to him, even giving him some candy (chips?). After passing the 20F Test, Miseng and Viole appear much more comfortable with each other. Viole is even shown carrying Miseng on his shoulders.

Yeo Goseng: While originally terrified of Viole for his association with FUG, she seems more comfortable with him. Even before they formed a team, she didn't think he was a murderous monster. When Viole brought over his FUG associates to their house, she was shaking so much she ended up cutting herself. When Zygeana emerged from the water, she can be seen hiding behind Viole's legs (also to possibly look out for Miseng).

Prince: While Viole appears to be mostly indifferent to Prince, Prince used to have a lot of antagonism for Viole. This was partly because of jealousy of Viole's strength and jealousy over Yeon Yihwa. After they formed Team Tangsooyuk, Prince became more mellow and appears to accept Viole as a teammate. He is also willing to help Viole after finding out his reason for climbing the tower.

FUG
Ha Jinsung: He is a member of FUG and is Viole's personal martial arts instructor. He thinks very highly of Viole and respects his opinions. He is very proud of Viole to the point where he brags about Viole's talent and genius. He appears comedically protective of Viole, asking Viole's teammates if they picked on him or made him do any housework (noticing Viole's chapped hands). He lies to FUG in order to protect the new friends Viole made, claiming that they made good hostages. In a flashback it is shown that Jinsung initially had reservations about training someone so seemingly ordinary, but quickly became impressed with Viole's ability to quickly pick up skills.

Hwa Ryun: A member of FUG. Though they did not have much of a relationship in Part 1, they appear much closer in Part 2. Hwa Ryun acts as Baam's Guide with the expectation that Baam will grow strong enough to one day kill Zahard. She often manipulates individual members of Team Tangyoosook in a way that benefits Baam. In a flashback, it has been shown that Hwa Ryun can be cruel/helpful to Baam (restarting the lethal/training stone golem) because of her high expectations.

Other
Koon Aguero Agnis: Viole still cares deeply for his friends from the Floor of Tests. He attempts to protect them from FUG, even when it means doing things he dislikes. He wants to go back to the times where he was able to be with his friends and imagines Koon and Rak there. He was upset when he realized that FUG had set a trap to pit Koon against him and became distraught when Koon was caught in the explosion at the hand of Harlen. Koon, after finding out Viole was Baam, became extremely angry at FUG and frustrated with his inability to help his friend. Koon is currently attempting to win the Workshop Battle in order to get back at FUG and possibly get Baam as his teammate.

Ran: At first they were antagonistic to each other because Viole had thought Ran and Novik had killed Horyang. Because Ran and Novik were part of Koon's team, Viole treats them kindly and tends to allow them freedom of movement, much to their confusion. Ran seems to sense that Viole is not the enemy and that he may have a friendly relationship with Koon. He has done and said things that has shown this.

Novik: Novik is confused by Viole's actions, who he sees as having no reason to treat them kindly but does so anyway. Novik mostly follows Ran's lead while they are being held prisoner by the team FUG chose for Viole. Novik has noticed several instances were Viole has showed concern over their well being and doesn't understand how Koon fits into it.
