Tower of God: Slayers, and the originization known as FUG (thread)

(Spoilers for Workshop arc, as well as Hell Train & beyond)

Welcome to another thread! Todays topic will be on the terrorist organization known as FUG. This organization serves as the main players and support for our MC, Bam, and his allies (at least for now). But how do they ACTUALLY operate and what is their history? Lets find out

To start, we’ll expand on the elders and their position as strategists behind the organization. Every elder holds power over the lower ranked FUG members, and they have the authority to work with Slayers on equal standing (although still of lower authority than Slayers overall.)

Elders are regarded as more ambiguous than slayers, backed by the fact that the only ones we’ve seen so far are Khel Hellam and Sophia Tan. They can be compared to the High Table from John Wick: Those with great power that operate from the shadows without much activity.

Often, Jinsung Ha is mistaken as an Elder (Ive done this many times as well). However, this is not the case. He’s one of the rankers within FUG that’s been given executive privileges (A.K.A, FUG executives). He occupies the job of combat trainer for the Slayers.

Now that the Elders have been covered, we’ll move on to FUG’s gods, the “Slayers”. These are individuals looked upon as divine beings chosen to kill Zahard and the Ten Leaders. It’s unknown HOW they’re chosen or what specific preparations are needed to become one.

There are currently 7 in total (excluding Bam) with 4 spots waiting to be filled:

1-Grace Mirchea Luslec (The “Devil”)
2-Unknown
3-Unknown
4-Unknown
5-Slayer Karaka
6-Slayer Yama
7-Slayer White

(Some are still in deep slumber)

There are three generations of Slayers:
-1st gen (those who emerged when Luslec first founded FUG, the “ancient gods”)
-2nd gen (those who rose after FUG’s complete transition to terrorism)
-3rd gen (our current cast; more specifically, those who are active)

Although the organization was built upon the goal of taking Zahard and his companions off the throne, that goal has always been a mere dream thanks to Zahard and the Leader’s contracts with the guardians (contracts of immortality). Without an individual that can bypass the-

Tower’s laws, there was only false hope that their targets would be slain. Although it isn’t confirmed, this could be the reason for certain slayer’s long sleep. Perhaps they’ve been waiting for an irregular to salvage their quest.

Luckily, one fell right into their hands in the form of the 25th Bam.

Again, FUG is built on the foundation of destroying the empire, but there are several sects that operate completely separate from one another. Sometimes, one can have DRASTICALLY different goals from another, leading to conflict (ex: the workshop battle)

The most recent conflict occuring from within is the indecision towards Jyu Viole Grace. He has split the Elders into two camps, one which wants him out of the picture, and one that wishes to see his growth and find out if he can lead them (Luslec is in the latter)

The loyal memebers of FUG are sometimes given missions that carry out over centuries as well. Once again, Reflejo’s appearance at the workshop is an example, but this time Yu Hansung is one as well. Due to the promise of Bam’s emergence, he played the long game, waiting for him-

To appear, and in the meantime spent his life as the second floor test administrator for centuries.

At the top of all these Elders, agents, and Slayers sits FUG’s supreme diety, LUSLEC, who I’ve mentioned various times already. His hatred for the families and reasons for founding FUG are deeply rooted in his loyalty for V, Bams father, and Luslec’s closest companion (pic below)

Luslec climbed the tower with the 13 warriors as V’s right hand man. After V and Arlene’s separation from Jahad, and especially after their two separate incidents, Luslec had only vengeance in him. So he gathered those with grudges against the rising empire, and went rogue.

Over the millennia, FUG in itself has grown to become more of a ‘religion’ than a rebellion. They occupy no single headquarters, and are used by countless individuals as a means of unleashing violence and hatred on the things they can never overcome/understand themselves.

Presently, Bam has risen the ranks to show us a glimpse of what a united FUG can one day look like: an army of slayers, elders, and loyal soldiers who, even if their cause is corrupted, share a kinship and are willing to sacrifice for one another.

His relationship with Slayers Yama and Karaka have developed gradualy, no doubt due to his foregoing, welcoming nature, and the respect he tries to have for every living being.

Elders like Sophia have already begun to rally their forces based on the belief that one day, he will emerge as the Chosen liberator (or destroyer) they’ve been prophecised.

Although now they are residing within the “hero’s” role of the cast, even with the righteous cause of saving a man respected by Many, FUG could very easily continue to switch between the role of protagonist and antagonist as the series progresses.

As I said, there are simply too many different factions and ideals to coexist. Until Bam can prove himself to most, or all of them, as one who can make their goal a reality, there will always be discontent within certain groups. Some must, to quote Superboy from Young Justice:

“Get on board

Or get out of the way”

More of its players have yet to change the story. In time, they’ll prove themselves as more and more of a force, as well as an obstacle. Though they are weak in comparison to the gods
