Tower of God possesses a vast array of unique characters, and here's the place to look them up.On a sidenote: There are several groups with their own distinctive features such as Zahard's Princesses.Furthermore, there is the Royal Enforcement Division (RED), which serves as police and secret service, removing dangers to the Tower (or rather, Zahard's ruling structures).Another group is Urek Mazino's Walhaiksong, or the Winged Tree, which is made up of Urek's followers and has become as influential as the oldest group:The 10 Great Families, founded by the ten warriors that climbed the Tower with Zahard. Even though each family can be seen as a faction of their own, they all are supporters of Zahard.Unlike this particular group: FUG, the organisation of Grace Mirchea Luslec, which apparently took Baam under their wing. Little is known except that they are the sworn enemy of the 10 families and are a religiously fanatic underground crime organisation.

Main and Core Characters
25th Baam / Jyu Viole Grace
The Hero of Tower of God, Baam is unsual in the tower in that he opened the door himself, thus making him an Irregular, who are univerisally feared throughout the tower as being ultra powerful monsters who almost always bring great calamity within the tower. He is also considered unusual and borderline crazy because he values his friends over his own desire to climb the tower, and is thus quickly deemed dangerous. After the timeskip, he reappears in front of Ja Wangnan, and sort of teams up with him. He now is part of the criminal organization FUG and has adopted the family name of Grace, leader of FUG.
Agent Peacock: At the beginning of Part 2 his attire is simply fabulous.
Break the Cutie: Though he isn't broken, the whole thing with Ho did bring him pretty close to snapping, and he laments the constant infighting between regulars. Even when everybody says it's the most normal, logical thing to happen. And then Rachel happened, and this is only the beginning.
Calling Your Attacks: Totally averted. Baam never yells out what he's doing: the most you get is a handy label down the side of the action or a footnote.
Chick Magnet: Yuri, Black March and Yeon are confirmed, along with Androssi who gets a lot of Ship Tease.
Somehow, those who are Genre Savvy and wear Shipping Goggles made the addition of Hwa Ryun. And according SIU, Baam will cause many women to cry.
Magnetic Hero: Becomes well liked and friendly with many of his fellows, so much so that they choose to help him out even when it means that they will be disadvantaged in the tower.
He's so endearing, his mentors in FUG are beginning to question their motivations.
Mysterious Past: Who or what Baam is, even he doesn't know. It's not even clear where he was initially, though it seems he was either in the Middle area of the Tower or outside it completely.
Never Found the Body: Everyone simply accepted that he was dead after they failed to pull his body from the lake.
No Sell: He's virtually immune to most Shinsoo attacks and Shinsoo in general. Only extremely powerful ones are capable of harming him.
The Paralyzer: Quant briefly teaches him this in Season 1, and it becomes Baam's first example of Power Copying. Later, he extends it to become his signature ability.
Person of Mass Destruction: As an Irregular, he's an immense threat to the Tower. By the time Season 2 rolls around, he's far above the other Regulars in his floor in strength and already challenging Rankers on relatively even footing.
Power Copying: This, coupled with his innate ability to control Shinsoo with ease, is his greatest combat strength.
Supreme Chef: Almost outright referred as such by Wangnan in comparison to Yeon.
Sweet Tooth: After the 28th Floor Test. You can see it beginning in the background. Word Of God states Goseng doesn't let the team eat them due to being unhealthy, and thus Viole became the underground supplier of junk food.
Technical Pacifist: Though he dislikes enmity and fighting, he defends himself when attacked, he is prepared to kill in order to get to Rachel (though he is releaved when he doesn't have to) and later on, he mops the floor with everyone.
Took a Level in Badass: Once he begins learning how to manipulate Shinsoo, he becomes a truly formidable fighter. In only seven years, he's learned how to control 5 rooms of Shinsoo and is far above most of the regulars on his floor in strength.
Wide-Eyed Idealist: He absolutely hates the idea of fighting and harming and truly wants every to be friends.
After Rachel's betrayal and the 5 year time skip, he is still this, but is severely emotionally withdrawn because of his Training from Hell
Koon Aguero Agnis
Koon Aguero Agnis is the son of High Ranker Koon Eduan and from one of the Noble families that first climbed the tower. He meets Baam in the second floor's first test, and deems him interesting enough to accompany and aid him while they climb the tower after Rak takes an interest in him. He becomes quickly one of Baam's closest friends. Recently made an appearance in the second season and is still a Manipulative Bastard. He is currently in a team with Viole's old teammates to win the Workshop Battle.
Last Name Basis: Everyone just pretty much calls him by his family name, Koon. Even his teammates and Baam, his closest friend, just use his last name. The few times his first name is uttered are when someone calls him by his full name. Though Koon is estranged from his family, he still seems proud of his heritage and has never objected to just being called Koon.
Loophole Abuse: Aguero spends most of his time trying to subvert the towers rules, with mixed results.
Named After Somebody Famous: Sergio Agüero, Argentinian football player. Word Of God says that the color scheme of the Koon family was inspired by the Argentinian flag after naming Aguero after Agüero.
The Smart Guy: Most likely to form (working) plans out of act 1 regulars.
She is Baam's first and best friend, though she leaves him to search for a starry sky (aka absolute freedom). He follows her, the plot begins, and awesomeness ensues. She later forms a team with Androssi and Akryung and might have been a part of the slaughter of 197 regulars. She goes by the moniker Michelle Light after realizing Baam is in her test group. After betraying Baam, she climbs the Tower with Aguero, who knows what really happened during the Submerged Fish test and just keeps her with him as the last connection to Baam's murderers.She is also an Irregular, but is different from Baam and other Irregulars in that she did not actually open the door, but was brought in along with Baam.
Anti-Hero: The author's blog says that she's one of these. She is certinaly one of the most ruthless characters.
Has continued keeping up the act of being a helpless damsel in front of Aguero for the past five years. And he knew, and she knew he knew; she was only keeping up the act so he wouldn't know she knew he knew and so when the time came she could stab him in the back first.
Face Heel Turn: While there's evidence suggesting she was a Manipulative Bitch even when she met Baam, she did sincerely care for him. The combination of Baam being The Chosen One and being manipulated by Headon turned her away from that. However, while this was her Face Heel Turn chronologically, in story, she's presented as taking this when she pushes Baam into the lake.
I Know You Know I Know: Caught in a loop of this with Aguero now; he knows she's faking her illness and spies on her with his Lighthouse, but she knows his team is a fence to trap her because she spies on him with her Lighthouse.
Ill Girl: She acts like this after Ho stabs her. However she fools nobody; the doctor who examined her said there was no lasting damage.
Light Is Not Good: Has light skin, light blonde hair, uses a pseudonym of Michelle Light, and is a Lightbearer. She also seems to be seriously messed in the head.
Meaningful Name: According to the author's blog, her name was chosen because "In Sherlock Holmes, there is a reference to the word Rache(Rah-he) that means revenge in German."
Manipulative Bastard: Koon thought he has seen through her ruses - sadly, not all of them.
According to Word Of God, she is indeed an Irregular like Baam, which means she might have abilities we haven't seen... but if so, there's been no hint of them beyond that.
Secret Identity: Goes under the name of Michelle Light for a while.
The Unchosen One: Rare villianous example. While the circumstances of her entry are still ambiguous, what seems to have happened is that the Tower recognized Baam as The Chosen One, and Rachel slipped in the door before he did. Rachel's refusal to take the first test as well cemented her status.
Walking Spoiler: In fact, even the fact that she can walk is a spoiler!
Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Pretends that her injury makes her unable to walk to manipulate others into helping her.
Regulars - Season One
People who get chosen to climb the Inner Tower by Headon and the Tower, in contrast to Irregulars, who entered the Tower by themselves.
Rak Wraithraiser
Rak is a giant alligator that unwillingly teamed up with Baam and Aguero in the first round of the Floor of Test, and has been a member of the team ever since. He loves to fight, compete and hunt the strong and is generally a strong and pretty straight forward guy with a lot of street wisdom. A great source of awesomesauce and comedic hijinks, as well.
Awesome McCoolname: Wraithraiser. Or Wreckraiser, depending on translation.
Of course, the original Korean pronunciation is probably closer to "Rak Lacration," which isn't... quite as awesome.
The Big Guy: Second biggest of the Act 1 cast (after Akryung) with physical strength to match.
The Fettered: His principles and integrity are pure.
The Heart: Yeah, despite being a hunter and pretty abrasive, he is one of the most decent and inspiring characters next to Baam, living a life in absolute honesty.
Hidden Depths: For someone considered a dumb muscle, he is suprisingly perceptive at times. For instance, he was one of the only people to realize that Aguero was faking his sudden rejection of Baam in order to manipulate everyone else into supporting him.
"Without this weapon, you have no purpose! Of course I didn't get this because I cared about you or anything!"
Anak Zahard
A lizard girl with a hook that can expand. She first appears in the first test of the second floor where she meets Hatsu and immediately battles him. Though she is one of the strongest on the second floor, she keeps to herself. Turns out that she is the daughter of the real Anak Zahard, a defected Princess who married a regular. The hook she wields is her mother's weapon, Green April. She is out to get revenge for her parents' murder by killing the entire Zahard family. Currently she is in Ship Leesoo's team, along with Androssi and Hatsu. She spent a great time of her life on the 43rd floor with Garam Zahard.
Berserk Button: Anything related to the Zahards makes her blood boil. And then Ren reveals he killed her mother.
BFS: Her new weapon after Yuri takes the Green April is an enormous sword, at least being 15 feet long. Justified because Anak is used to the Green April's Ignition, which is even larger.
Legacy Character: She's actually the daughter of the original Anak Zahard.
Lightning Bruiser: Agile enough to fight evenly with Ran and strong enough to disable Novick in one shot.
Little Miss Badass: Despite looking like 10 year old, she is one of the top 5 rank E regulars (as of act 2).
Obfuscating Stupidity: Pretends to be a spoilt brat during the crown game, and then reveals she is placed exactly where she wanted to be - in the best position for her skills to be fully utilized. She proceeds to swat everybody like flies.
Pint-Sized Powerhouse: According to wiki, 154cm. Able to throw a spear with enough force to punch a hole in a building.
Androssi Zahard
A haughty, cynical self-centered woman who is probably the strongest of all Regulars in Baam's grade, sans Akryung, perhaps. She's a Princess of Zahard and therefore Anak's aunt, and develops a caring yet vitriolic relationship with Anak. Currently a member of one of the top two teams in the E level, climbing with Ship Leesoo, Anak and Androssi.
Action Girl: Probably, the strongest of act 1 regulars.
Then she ends up on the receiving end of this, courtesy of Ren.
Defrosting Ice Queen: She isn't a real Ice Queen, since she is rather outgoing, but she keeps her feelings to herself, views others as tools and steps over bodies to reach her goals. And then she meets Baam.
Super Toughness: When fighting Viole and Traveler, she takes a large number of anti-tank explosives directly to the face and comes out with nothing more than frazzled hair and mild annoyance.
Hatsu
The son of a… potter? Still, he has been training his swordsmanship for many years, which allows him to go toe to toe with Anak, whom he grows very close to, and stand his ground against Quant. By the second season, he's so famous that the mere rumor that someone managed to beat 'that Hatsu guy' in battle is their main selling point as a mercenary. Is currently travelling with Ship Leesoo's team.
Badass Normal: Though he does have a pair of magical swords, his ability to fight far above his weight class comes more from pure training than anything else.
Charles Atlas Super Power: His power comes entirely from outrageously intense training, as referenced explicitly in his second fight with Cassano.
Weak, but Skilled: Compared to rest of his team, he is 'just' a normal human.
The Worf Effect: Beaten off screen by the Devil of the Right Hand just to show how tough this devil really is.
Ho
A Regular that, like Baam, is a Wave Controller. Looks very effeminate and has a red horn. All of his friends were killed by a random monstrous humanoid and since then, he tried to climb the Tower to get the strength he didn't have when all he loved were slaughtered.
A seemingly average guy in a purple jump suit. He is much smarter than he looks and a really funny guy. He's currently on a floor above Aguero, still with Hatsu and Anak. He remains in contact with Aguero, and has also learnt of Rachel's trickery.
Guile Hero: His stat sheet lists him as nearly dead last in every single category... except intelligence, where he's one of the highest of the first chapter's Regulars.
Nice Guy: Among other things, he uses his own body to cling on to Quant, getting horribly beaten up solely to slow him down a tiny bit and increase his team's chances of victory even though, as Quant points out, he himself was already certain to pass.
The Smart Guy: Along with Aguero, forms the strategical team.
A branch member of the great Eurasia family, who runs a round with a blanket and pillow to sleep where ever he can. In Season 2 he is traveling with Ship Leesoo's team.
Brilliant, but Lazy: He's one of the most powerful of the Regulars in the first chapter, but usually prefers to just curl up in his blanket and fall asleep.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Kicks ass when he stops sleeping on the battle field.
Hidden Depths: Being one of the older members of the cast in the first season, and being from one of the 10 great families means he's way savvier than he lets on.
A mysterious character with mask and tight neoprene suit that first appeared in the Crown Game and dominated the last round, until Baam slashed her face with Shinsoo. Since then, she wore an eyepatch and let her hair down. Is a member of FUG and recruited Baam after Rachel betrayed him.
Chekhov's Gunman: She appears as a mysterious, strong regular who gets injured in the crown game, is however a ranker, a guide like Evan, and in fact, Rachel's and then Baam's guide.
Eye Scream: There's one fairly graphic panel of Baam's power slashing across her eye; if you're reading quickly, it's easy to miss that the slash is shown cutting deeply into the eyeball.
The Quiet One: For a lot of the time, she just sits around in the class room or the background. In season one she just has 3 conversations, with Aguero, Baam and Rachel. Quite possibly, she was just silent because the didn't need to socialize with the other Regulars.
World's Most Beautiful Woman: Word Of God says she is the prettiest of the Part 1 regulars, and that it is a plot point. Also, the sheer amount of fanart dedicated to her is staggering.
Blarouse
A man who got drafted by one of Aguero's cunning plans and therefore participated in the Crown Game. He uses a glove to throw balls that returns to him. Since he was among the Regulars who passed the 2nd floor, he helped the group support Rachel.
Chekhov's Gunman: Along with Grey and Kukaku Rakukakuka, he was drafted by Aguero and stepped in to help him during the crown game.
A muscled man with devil wing who was said to have attacked anybody he could in the preliminaries, insinuating that he might be an incredibly dangerous fellow. His spear throwing is on par with Rak's.
Ambiguously Brown: He shows up in Season 2 with a much lighter skin tone, indicating he possibly was tanned or there was a coloring error.
Will do anything to reach the top for his "important" goal. He matches his opinion always to the majority and acts more like you would expect people in a survival game to act.
The point-of-view character for the first plot arc of season 2. While by no means weak, his dreams of being King of the Tower are far beyond his current capabilities. He's also running away from loan sharks and a bit of a coward with a good heart. He manages to trick Viole into forming a team with him and just like long ago with Baam and Rak, it stuck. They are currently living together with Yeon, Kang Horyang, Goseng, Miseng, Prince and Arkraptor.
Action Survivor: At first glance, he does not seem to possess any special powers... Unlike 90% of the cast.
Out of Focus: Rapidly faded in importance after the plot arc where he was introduced - he's still around, and there's hints he might be important again later, but at the moment he's just another character in Baam's previous team.
Punny Name: If you reverse his name, it becomes 'Nan wang ja', which means 'I'm a prince' in Korean.
True Companions: Shows that he really cares about his team again and again.
Yihwa Yeon
She is a Regular that gets introduced in season 2 and first appears in a scene where she fries Ja Wangnan. Later, she climbs the Tower with the team of the Lurker loan sharks because of her debt, which gets transferred to Baam after he wins the Shinsoo competition.
Unskilled, but Strong: Her flames are claimed to be strong enough that not even Rankers could control them. Consequently, Yihwa can't control them. Hence, she became quite a Team Killer.
Miseng is a regular Ja and Baam met during the first part of the 20th floor test. Ja's resolve to attack the next person was crushed by her being utterly adorable (and wearing a school girls uniform).
Child Prodigy: Smart enough to dominate a card game played with adults.
Killer Rabbit: In Shinsoo Strenghtening Test she came just below Wangnan, and above Goseng and Yoghurt Lady. She must be quite capable for reaching 20th floor in the first place, but her abilities remain unknown.
Token Mini Moe: Of all the character designs SIU has thought up, after 82 chapters and more than fifty characters, he has an adorable little girl.
Yeo Goseng
Miseng's friend. An apparently reasonable woman with a mousy look.
The last addition to the survival game. He acts like a very smart and very ruthless person and thinks more about instantaneous advantages than long-time pay-offs. He has got short silver hair and fights with an umbrella capable of shooting Shinsoo beams.
Cassandra Truth: When everyone was trying to suck up to Baam so he would choose them as his teammate, he started talking about his daughter, whom no one believed he had.
A gargantuan Regular who entered the survial match, but took up Ja Wangnan's peace offer. He crushes hard on Goseng so that it is virtually impossible for Ja to beat anybody up. He fights using an odd colored iconographic that appears floating beside him, focusing his abilities in specific areas — a blue shield enhancing his defense, a winged boot to enhance his speed, a giant red fist to enhance his strength, and so on. He's actually a living ignition weapon and entered the tower to search for Cassano, the true Devil of the Right Hand.
Bad Ass: Shortly after his introduction he enters Mêlée à Trois with Viole and Arkraptor. He manages to keep pace with them.
Beware the Nice Ones: He is nicknamed "Teddy", and it fits. However, you don't want to get on his bad side, as he is both an extremely ferocious and skilled combatant.
Beware the Quiet Ones: As above. He is usually calm and collected, but when he is forced to fight he shows just how capable he is.
Bruiser with a Soft Center: Huge, dark and intimidating. Possibly the most good-natured person of his team after Baam.
Gentle Giant: Though his gentleness has its limits.
One-Winged Angel: Though Horyang is not a Big Bad, when he ignites his arm, which he rarely does in combat, it massively increases his power. He also literally has one wing.
Swiss Army Superpower: The mark on his back can be used for defence (Strong Shield), attack (Red Fist, Flaming Fist), speed (Boot) and healing (Cross) among other uses, as well as his "Devil of the Right Hand," which seems to be his strongest power.
A mercenary known as "The Devil of the Right Hand", recruited by Prince's father to help Prince in the 20F exam. Turns out to be a fake - while he is a competent fighter, he is nowhere near the level of real Devil, that is, Beniamino Cassano.
Becoming the Boast: He is not the real Devil, but still can hold his own in a fight.
Black Eyes of Crazy: Subverted. He has black sclera, but he is essentialy just a mercenary.
Know When to Fold 'Em: Is smart enough not to get in Ja's and Viole's way when they beat down Lurker.
Punch Clock Villain: He seems to hold no particular ill will against anyone. When his team loses, he just leaves. However, as revealed in an omake, he did not leave fast enough to avoid Yihwa's wrath.
Butt Monkey: In the first few strips after his introduction he gets outgambitted, drugged, forcibly recruited, severely beaten and more than once humiliated.
"Facing the Bullets" One-Liner: "Get lost. If you want to walk, walk with those fine legs of your own. You kicked away two friends with those, am I right?" Fortunately, Rachel didn't kill him... except Edin lost his legs instead.
Fragile Speedster: Rumored to be faster than light, which is why Aguero wanted him.
Ran even outright says that Dan is useless in a fight, but when it comes to speed, nobody can surpass him.
Flash Step: During his first appearence, he was too fast even for Koon.
Oh Crap: His reaction moments after accepting a duel with Novik. The rest of his team forfeited.
Retired Badass: Stopped being a regular due to the 20th Floor Syndromenote that means he got sick of all the testing and settled down, satisfied with his E-Rank.
Fisherman of Aguero's new team. He is one of the five strongest E-rank regulars.
Bad Ass: Able to defeat Novick, and fight evenly with Anak.
The Big Guy: Despite his small stature, the strongest fighter out of Team Koon, and one of the top 5E rankers.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Borderline example. He is obnoxious, spoiled and quite childish at times (he destroyed Aguero's lighthouse during a mission), yet when he gets serious he is a force to be reckoned with.
Glass Cannon: Relies on his extremely potent attack power and ability to dodge blows most of the time. Doesn't fare that well when he gets hit himself.
I Am Not Left-Handed: Ran's Spearbearer postion is ranked higher than his Fisherman position due to his powerful Lightning Spear technique, which is extremely powerful for E Rank Regulars. This makes him possibly the best Spearbearer of all the E Rank Regulars.
Jerk Ass: He is extremely arrogant, and seems to possess next to none social skills.
Kung-Fu Wizard: With an ephasis on the "wizard" part, he is still a capable hand-to-hand fighter.
Muscles Are Meaningless: He primarily uses Shinsoo and overwhelming force to attack, rather than traditional combat.
Oh Crap: When Viole shows up, Ran's reaction is basically a chain of Oh Crap moments one after the other.
The Worf Effect: Played up and shown to be an enormous badass only to make Viole's utter annihilation of him show how much stronger Viole is.
Novick
Spearbearer of Aguero's new team who wears a green jogging jacket, and a member of a famous branch of the Ha family, though he likes making up fake family names for laughs and wits.
Bad Ass: Shows how competent he really is during his fight with Ilmar and Cassano.
Barrier Warrior: Apart from being a great Spearbearer, he's also competent as fighting as a Fisherman using shinsoo walls to propel people into attacks.
The Big Guy: Subverted. He is the biggest of the Aguero's new team, but Ran surpasses him in power.
Nice Guy: Seems to be the most friendly of the team.
Nonindicative Name: Medic, not Missionary. And, a dangerous one, too: unless he suddenly whips out FUG pamphlets to post through the door, don't buy his shtick.
A rather skilled Wave Controller who Team Tangsooyuk met during the 28th Floor Test. His skill is considered amongst the best in Rank E. He is mentally unstable.
An E-rank Regular, member of FUG team during the Workshop Battle arc. Wears a metal mask that conceals his whole face. Despite officially being Viole's subordinate, he is de facto leader of the team.
Rankers are people who have already climbed the tower ( or rather, to the 134th floor), and are further split between normal Rankers and High Rankers, who acheived a high position even among them. In short, they are all pretty badass. Following tropes go for each one of them:
The Ageless: Climbing The Tower gives them eternal youth (with the exception of Hendo family - they are... special)
This immortality is a specific reward for passing a floor near the very end, so some very high Regulars also fit in with this.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: All of them are kinda odd compared to the more normal regulars, but as individual rankers they get focus it's shown to be more of a coping mechanism to deal with the trauma of climbing the Tower.
Knight in Sour Armor: All of them that aren't outright evil are pretty world weary with the current system. This is because, to climb the tower, they had to abandon friendships and betray people for personal advancement. Some, such as Leroro, are particularly bitter that they stop climbing at floor 134.
Though according to the author, Guides (like Evan) are generally weaker at combat, while Yuri appears to be a combat-focused Fisherman, so she might still be tougher than him in a fight.
Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: While Yuri isn't as big as other examples, Evan is one of the smallest people to have appeared.
Leroro
Ranker and exam supervisor, he takes care of the regulars on the second floor. He also trains the light bearers, and Aguero confides in him. After the events of the Submerged Fish Hunt, he quits and goes to meet the Walhaiksong on the 77th floor.
Almighty Janitor: Despite young age praised by most of his peers (even Jerk Ass Quant and Insufferable Genius Yu Han Sung) and revealed to be equal in power to a prodigy RED member Ren.
Beware the Nice Ones: He may be the nicest of the F2 admins, but him being serious is enough to force Anak to back down and tell sore losers to fuck off.
Older Than They Look: As with most Rankers, he is several hundred years old. Still, he is one of the younger ones.
Nice Guy: Of all the Rankers, he is the most decent. Except for that one time he made clear that "those who are not worthy, should FUCK OFF!" (And even that can be seen as him being nice, since he's trying to save their lives.)
Cute but serious, the Administrator of the season 2 tests. He oversaw the Survival Round test, World's Strongest Regular test, and created the Untrustworthy Room test for Viole. He has a "I do what I want type of attitude."
Baseball Episode: His fight with Viole including 2 giant pitching gloves, attacks like strait ball and pitch change up, even the untrustworthy room test for Viole is baseball themed.
The Instructor of the Scouts with a temper as fiery as his hair and all the maturity of a elementary school kid, he is still a fierce and sharp-witted fighter. Also, he's the only black guy ranker (don't forget Parawel) in this work though his skin is red.
Innocent Innuendo: Due to a mistaken translation, Quant became his widely accepted English name. However SIU later showed his actual english name in a character profile later, meaning he's unfortunately named Qunt. Due to this being a somewhat offensive term (and fan inertia), the fan translators have continued to use Quant.
Jerkass
Large Ham: Lampshaded by Leroro and Yu Han-Sung during the Hide and Seek test.
Actually introduced as Yuga, he seems to have taken that Wave Controller Instructor's guise (a sheeplike, horned costume that you wear like a ghost costume of bed sheets and a smile that looks like mustard on rice). He has multiple animals stored inside his body/suit and has the ability to control these animals, especially aquatic ones, like the Bull. Moreover, the youngest/newest member of the RED.
Badass Boast: His entire confrontation with Yu Han-Sung boils down to that.
Bald of Evil: From what we've seen of his actual face he appears to be this.
The test administrator of the Floor of Test, second in command of Evankhell. He is a genius in many ways, looks like a very attractive woman and is known among the Regulars for two things: His devious, scheming personality and his complete and utter addiction to instant coffee. Actually, he really likes any kind of instant food. Oh, and he is secretly a mole for FUG.
A high ranking FUG member, and a former teacher of Viole and Karaka.
Affably Evil: He may be nice, albeit too loud, but according to Hwa Ryun he came to the 21th floor to kill all of Viole's companions, as he considers them too weak.
Cynicism Catalyst: He loved a girl who was taken by the Ha family as a slave... and killed an entire branch of the family in revenge. Unfortunately, she died in the process. It's implied that he sees something of her in Viole, and that she was his reason for joining FUG.
Rank: 3Technically not a Ranker anymore, but he was the first to reach the top Except the 'top', where one gets his position as a Ranker, is simply floor 134 - the highest level anybody has completed, and where Zahard, for unknown reasons, stopped his ascent. There are confirmed to be more floors above 134 and is now the Tower's ruler. He can grant others a vast amount of powers through his blood, as seen with Zahard's Princesses, outstanding female regulars, mostly from the 10 families, who get selected and adopted after a certain test. He is currently the third strongest in the tower.
Blood Magic: Transfer of Power. Surprisingly not evil.
Big Sleep: It's implied that he may have been sleeping for thousands of years.
Interspecies Adoption: Zahard's Princesses aren't related to him; they're all adoptive daughters. So far we know of two humans and a lizard-girl, though we have no context for what species Zahard is.
Also, Androssi is not actually human. It isn't that obvious, but she has a tiny horn on her forehead.
The Ghost: Although he is central to the plot and to several character's backgrounds, he has yet to be seen or even described beyond the most general overview of his history.
Spell My Name with an S: Temporarily went from "Zahard" to "Jahad" and then back again in translation.
Arie Hon
Rank: 5One of the warriors who accompanied Zahard during his conquest of the Tower, and founder of the noble Arie family, the strongest family in the Tower. His Soubriquet White Sword refers to the White Oar, his sword that doesn't get hindered by dense Shinsoo.
Always Someone Better: Urek Mazino. Despite having a similiar ranking (4th and 5th) the power gap seems to be huge.
Feared as the absolute darkness of the Tower, he is the head of the religious sect and criminal order FUG, which opposes Zahard and at one point took in Baam.
The director of the Floor of Test. Very strict and very tall, Evankhell has agreed to a complex testing system of the second floor for reasons unknown.
The Dreaded: Everyone speaks in an at least very respectful tone about him, and everyone fears what might happen if he finds out how screwy things went.
The Ghost: Only descriptions from rankers alude to his history. He's on "vacation" for the entire 1st Season.
Really, it was the only way for the plot to happen. If he was there half of the Events would not have been able to occur.
Irregulars
People who entered the tower uninvited and by their own strength, which means they are some of the strongest and most terrifying creatures in the whole Tower. Most of them are Shrouded in Myth, and rumors about them never give much away except that they are pretty dangerous. It's worth noting as well that there are some (Zahard and the Heads of the 10 families) who would be considered Irregulars under the current system as well, but since they predated it, they don't count.
Twenty-Fifth Baam a.k.a. Jyu Viole Grace
See Main and Core Characters.
Rachel
See Main and Core Characters.
Phantaminum
Rank: 1The first Irregular (discounting Zahard himself, who technically entered as an Irregular but predates the Irregular / Regular system), a being mostly referred to as monster who brought chaos to the Tower under Zahard. He is an Exis, a mythical, godlike being.
The Dreaded: He, along with Enryu created the prejudice against the Irregulars.
The Ghost: We get a brieft glance of his shadow, or his hair, or weapon, or clothes. Really we don't know.
One-Man Army: Any of the highest rankers qualifies as this, but Phantaminum explicitly stormed the most fortified and powerful fortress in the world, which was guarded by the most powerful people in the world, all on his own.
Storming the Castle: Attacked the fortress of the king (where nearly all the strongest Rankers in the world were) singlehandedly. And before he decided to stop (for unknown reasons), he was winning. Easily.
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: The Guardians were considered to be immortal god-creatures with near-absolute power over their floor... until he killed one.
The Dreaded: He, along with Phantaminum created the prejudice against the Irregulars.
Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: He and Phantaminum have never met and have nothing to do with each other, but since they're the first and second-strongest Rankers who ever lived, fans of each within the tower constantly speculate about who would win in a fight.
Urek Mazino
Rank: 4Urek is an Irregular that came after Phantaminum (possibly tracking down Phantaminum) and climbed the Tower in just 50 years. He is currently the 4th strongest and the strongest active ranker (with Phantaminum and Enryu's whereabouts unknown and Zahard in hibernation). Also, he founded a group called the Walhaiksong or Winged Tree, which has become strong enough to rival the 10 Great Families in influence and strength.He is on good terms with Yuri Zahard.
The Dreaded: Inverted, despite being considered the most powerful currently-active ranker, he is treated as a joke. See below.
Fanservice: Is there a reason he doesn't wear a shirt?
In-Series Nickname: Ray Barakuda. And because they never live it down, the Winged Tree Organization still calls him Urek Loser-no, Loser-rek Mazino, U-Loser Mental Mazino-seon ever since he got owned by the deputy head of the Ranking Office.
Space Compression: As a power. He once shrunk an entire forest and put in a suit case. Then carried it all the way to the 77th floor upon which he re-expanded the forest.
Zahard's Daughters or rather, Zahard's Princesses are adopted females that have, through arduous exams, proven themselves worthy of receiving Zahard's blood, giving them more power. They represent Zahard. They are the only one's allowed to carry the name of Zahard, as he has no children of his ownnote though there is the rumored Prince of Zahard. Androssi can be found in the Regulars folder.Following tropes go for each one of them:
The first Princess to be introduced, she plants her foot in Baam's face and then lends him her powerful weapon because she felt the test was unfair and she was bored. Breaking the rules and following her own agenda is pretty much the standard for her. She's on good terms with most people she knows and socializes pretty easy. She drags Evan all over the Tower.
Covert Pervert: Everybody sees her as the great princess. Nobody knows she's totally into that cute, little naive boy who doesn't know what's happening around him.
Comedic Sociopathy: Jumping in people's faces and throwing your friends down cliffs is not very nice, Lady Yuri.
Charles Atlas Superpower: She is a member of the Ha family, who all possess incredibly powerful bodies.
Rebel Leader: Though she still plays by the rules, superficially at least, she's also was present for the founding of the Wingtree organization and seems to have supported Anak's mother in her decision to marry.
Another Half-sister of Koon Aguero Agnis. She is the owner of one of the 13 Months, Yellow May and a very haughty, abrasive person. For that reason, she butts heads with Yuri quite often.
Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Extremely haughty, and has the balls to demand that Yuri hand over the Black March because she was, 'only a novice.'
Koon Aguero's younger half-sister, who due to his scheming, became a princess candidate or princess, at the cost of his family branche's position. He found that the result left a big hole, even though he did it with the best intentions. He regarded her a pure being untainted by the intrigues in the noble families.
The Hikkikomori Princess. Locked up in her Lighthouse, constantly over-seeing the flow of information of the tower. Yuri believes she is the only one who could find Baam, and she is apparently the only one who knows of the Prince of Zahard. As she had not climbed the Tower, she is not Ranker and has no rank.
Hikkikomori: A shut-in in her giant castle with a giant Lighthouse.
Guardians
Beings that lived in the Tower long before it had been populated by Zahard and other races. Each Guardian is a supreme ruler of his own floor, and merely accepts the Rankers and Proctors as people doing their work for them. They are the ones who allow people to use Shinsoo on their floor.Following tropes go for each one of them:
A very freaky rabbit humanoid who is the guardian of the first floor. His job is the selection of Regulars, and introducing them to the rules of the tower as well as providing pockets. Which he didn't do with Baam. He doesn't like intruders, to say the least.
Blue and Orange Morality: Nobody quite knows what his alignment, motivation or goals are. But, they more than likely wind up in this territory, given the tests he doles out as part of his job. He has laws... Good luck working them out, though. They seem to shift. Or, are just that convoluted it looks that way.
The Chessmaster: The number of balls he juggles just the first time you meet him? Yup.
Chekhov's Gunman: He is far more important than he at first seems.
Great Gazoo: Particularly on his own floor. This probably goes for all Guardians to a varying degree, depending on their individual personalities and preferences.
Hair-Raising Hare: If you fail the test, fail to match up to expectations or just... tickle his funny bone, he suddenly morphs to this, rather than the Bunnies For Cuteness you might, at first, mistake him to be. If he didn't shoot here directly for you at first glance, that is. That uniquesmile of his really helps.
A big eel with a serrated beak. Slightly less creepy than Headon. He's the guardian of the second floor, also known as Evankell's Hell. Thinks Baam looks very tasty.
A series of Empathic Weapons forged by a master blacksmith, given to a chosen Princesses of Zahard. They can range from Cool Swords to Improbable Weapons, but all are very powerful. All of the weapons share the following traits:
Battle Aura: Wielders of a weapon can sense the aura of another 13 Series weapon if they are used in the general area.
Empathic Weapon: When ignited, the weapon can take physical form.
Sealed Badass in a Can: Every weapon has a soul sealed within them, and if it allows the user to do so, all of the weapons are extremely powerful when ignited.
Talking Weapon: Weapons are capable of communicating with their users, if they so choose.
Theme Naming: All of them are named in Korean in the general format 'Color Number Moon' (with Black March being 'Black Third Moon', White February being 'White Second Moon'). Although they are named in Korean through the Lunar Calendar, this is translated to English using conventional Calendar Months (with Undecimber being the 13th).
Silver January
Currently carried by An Zahard.
White February
Granted to an unknown Princess who was killed by Eurasia Enne Zahard when she went berserk. Currently in the possession of Zahard himself.
Black March
Originally given to Yuri Zahard, it changed owners when she decided to help Baam with his first test. It is a sleek black needle (a stabbing tool) with a self-confident, hedonistic attitude. She did not even talk to Yuri because they were alike, but heeds Baam's call, because he is cutenote yes, this pisses Yuri off quite a bit. Later, she is taken by Anak as a wager and used by Androssi in the fight against Ren.
Anak's sword -Actually her mother's- which is more a green hook that expands and can split into several hooks at the hilt. It is never seen talking, but it seems to be insane and/or blood thirsty. Yuri takes it away from her near the end of season 1

Hammerspace: As with every Arms Inventory, stores other weapons this way when not in use.

Other
Akryung
A huge, mysterious hulking monster of unknown origin; he kept Rak in check during the Crown Game, immediately passed the Spear Bearer's exam, and slaughtered everybody except Rachel and Androssi in the preliminaries. He may or may not be an Irregular, whether the comments about the Irregular in his team applied to him or Rachel is unclear as of now. He was 'prepared' by Headon to assist Rachel, according to Yu Han-Sung, although what that means - whether he's actually taking the test, or, for that matter, whether he's actually alive - is unknown.
