Karaka

Lore & Background

Karaka serves as one of FUG's elite Slayers, a rank reserved for those with the power and ambition to challenge the Jahad Empire directly. His armor, a unique defensive item, allows him to manipulate steel-like threads and unleash devastating attacks. Unlike many FUG members who operate in the shadows, Karaka takes a more direct approach, often clashing with Rankers and even other FUG factions to further his goals. His hatred for the Ten Families, particularly the Khun family, is a driving force, though his true motives remain shrouded in mystery.

In Their Own Story

The air in the Workshop's lower chambers was thick with the scent of ozone and blood. Karaka stood amidst the wreckage of a collapsed wall, his black armor gleaming under flickering lights. Before him, a young Regular trembled, clutching a pocket. 'You think your family name protects you here?' Karaka's voice echoed, hollow and cold. He raised a hand, steel threads coiling like serpents. 'In this place, you are nothing but prey.' The Regular's scream was cut short as the threads struck, and Karaka turned, already scanning for his next target—the one called Bam, whose destiny was tangled with his own.
