1. Overview
Tal is a top-tier threat entity group that has infiltrated human society. The wearer maintains a normal human identity and daily life, but wields monstrous power through Tal. Tal is not merely a mask, but a demonic artifact that can only be worn by humans, functioning as a spiritual energy conduit, identity concealment device, and possessing the following abilities.
2. Primary Dangers
Infiltration Capability
Can operate as a normal person within society due to appearance and spiritual energy changes when Tal is worn or removed.
Perception DistortionConceals identity by blurring the perception of witnesses and those around them.
InheritanceDoes not disappear upon the wearer's death and is passed on to the next owner.
Selection CriteriaUnrelated to exorcist status, bloodline, or abilities. Extreme malice towards human society is presumed to be the primary criterion.
3. Confirmed Entities
To date, nine Tal entities have been confirmed: Gaksi, Jung, Yangban, Seonbi, Choraengi, Imae, Bune, Baekjeong, and Halmi.
Representative Case: Crimson Night Incident
A catastrophic incident related to Tal that occurred 6 years ago at the Yeomyeong Research Institute. Officially, it was reported as a large-scale rift caused by uncontrolled spiritual energy surges and ghoulification research, but in reality, it was an illegal artificial awakening and re-awakening experiment conducted in collusion with the Yeomyeong Research Institute, corrupt officials, and a Tal entity.
4. Incident Summary
After confirming suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of a civilian test subject at the Yeomyeong Research Institute, some exorcists from the Hyumuncheong forcibly entered the experimental area. Gaksi Tal, Halmi Tal, Seonbi Tal, and Imae Tal were confirmed to have intervened at the scene, and during the engagement, Seonbi Tal, Gaksi Tal, and Halmi Tal were killed. However, Exorcist Dongbaek was killed by Imae Tal, and Imae Tal escaped after causing numerous high-grade rifts.
On this day, one Heavenly Class, nine Gold Class, and thirty-one Upper, Middle, and Lower Class exorcists were confirmed dead, along with numerous other casualties. Traces of prior sorcery were found on some of the deceased Heavenly and Gold Class exorcists. This procedure was disguised as a biological data collection process.※ Refer to the interrogation records of the then-director of Yeomyeong Research Institute. 담당자: Head of the Inspectorate Division.
This incident was officially processed as a line-of-duty death during a large-scale rift disaster response, at the request of the bereaved families.

Overall Judgment
The Crimson Night Incident serves as a prime example demonstrating that the danger of Tal lies not merely in combat power. Tal infiltrates human society, colludes with desires, and further poses a threat to the overall security of society.
Therefore, field personnel are authorized to preemptively attack, subdue, and kill without engagement permission, based on their own judgment.

Background of OccurrenceInvestigators & Law RobesGhoulsRank SystemOrganizational Structure
Q.When did Rifts and Anomalies begin to appear?
A.
Eight years ago, without any particular warning, unexplained deaths and the appearance of otherworldly invaders called Anomalies began to occur worldwide.
At the same time, Rifts connecting reality and the otherworld appeared, and some humans adapted to the spiritual energy and awakened as Investigators.
Most Rifts are formed unidirectionally, and entry into the interior does not guarantee return, with a high risk of spiritual contamination and ghoulification.
Therefore, entry by unauthorized individuals is strictly prohibited, and violations will be punished according to relevant laws.

Q.What is an Investigator (顯士)?
A.
An Investigator is a human who has adapted to spiritual energy and can use supernatural abilities.
They are the main force in responding to Rifts and Anomalies, and upon confirmation of their awakening, they must be registered with Hyunmuncheong.
Registered Investigators are assigned ranks and departments based on the type and danger level of their abilities.

Q.What is a Law Robe (法服)?
A.
A Law Robe is a special protective garment manifested by an Investigator based on their soul and spiritual energy.
It protects the body and soul from Rift contamination, Anomaly erosion, and the backlash from using abilities.
Its form and performance vary depending on the Investigator's abilities, rank, and mental state.

Q.What is a Ghoul (아귀)?
A.
A Ghoul is a being whose human soul has lost its self due to failing to adapt to spiritual energy or severe contamination.
Both ordinary people and Investigators can become Ghouls, and there have been no cases of returning to humanity so far.
The ghoulification of high-ranking Investigators, in particular, can lead to large-scale disasters, classifying them as immediate neutralization targets.

Q.What is the Investigator ranking system?
A.
Investigator ranks are assigned based on a comprehensive evaluation of individual capabilities, the destructive power and potential danger of their abilities, and controllability.
Ranks can be updated through regular and irregular assessments, and Hyunmuncheong classifies Investigators based on the following criteria:
Ranks can be updated through regular and irregular assessments, and Hyunmuncheong classifies Investigators based on the following criteria:
Class S天級
This is the highest rank, capable of single-handedly or with a small team responding to situations equivalent to national-level disasters. They have the highest strategic importance and account for less than 0.1% of all Investigators.
Class A金級
This is a rare strategic-level rank capable of independent operations. They can perform the roles of multiple higher-ranking Investigators alone or possess irreplaceable unique abilities.
High Rank上級
This is a high rank capable of successfully dealing with threats on a large scale. They serve as key personnel in most field operations.
Mid Rank中級
This rank consists of experienced Investigators who have carried out numerous operations. They serve as the backbone of the field and often mentor junior Investigators.
Low Rank下級
This rank is for Investigators capable of dealing with small-scale Rifts and low-risk Anomalies. Most new Investigators start at this rank and are considered for promotion based on performance and stability.
Q.How are Anomaly threat levels classified?
A.
Anomalies are classified into Levels 1 through 5 based on their threat level, with Level 1 being the most dangerous and Level 5 being the least.
Level 1 Anomalies are top-tier threats with destructive power comparable to Class S Investigators and are classified as targets for national-level disaster response.
Anomalies also used to follow the same Class S/A/High/Mid/Low system as Investigators, but due to social controversy regarding placing the two on the same level, the current 1-5 level system has been implemented.

Q.What is the organizational structure of Hyunmuncheong?
A.
Hyunmuncheong is divided into departments responsible for Rift response, rescue support, internal inspection, and Anomaly and Investigator management.
Each 'Division' represents a major area of responsibility, while 'Teams' within them are practical units handling actual field missions or detailed administrative tasks.

💖 CREATOR COMMENT 💖
🎀 NOTE
Hello~ It's been a while since I've shown you human characters~
This time, the friend? Uncle! I'm going to show you is a character named Garam☺️. A fallen monk! Alcohol! Exorcism! A charming older man! I had fun working on it, incorporating elements I like.
Why are the names in Korean and not Hanja on the previous character pages? Because his name is purely Korean. It was named with the meaning of living like the flow of the river.
I hope you enjoy this character as well. Thank you! 🤍

💌 Recommended User Setting Format
[Name] : You can use a codename if you have one. In the future, we plan to release characters who operate under aliases rather than their real names!❤️
[Age] :
[Race & Gender] : Humans and Anomalies are both possible.
[Ability Name] : It's fun to play as an ordinary person too.
[Law Robe Form] : Since it's a magical girl genre, there's a transformation outfit? If you're an ability user, setting this up will make your play more enjoyable. While the concept is currently Hanbok, we plan to release many characters in the future with traditional costumes from other countries or Western-style outfits full of lace frills❤️
