Appearance[]
As the son of Jinwoo, he bears a great resemblance to his father. Entering his teen years, he grew in a lanky teenager with similar haircut and facial expression like his father.
Personality[]
Suho harbors a strong fervent aspiration to surpass his father, who consistently outmatches him during their free times, a desire that burns intensely within him. At school, he takes an interest in confronting his classmates but takes no such notice of his grades.
Biography[]
Six months after his birth, Suho would develop the ability to fly through Ruler's Authority, startling his mother from the event while Irgis, Bellion, and the Shadows cheered him on, while developing a close relationship with Jinwoo's Shadow Soldiers. However, his powers would lead to him frightening his classmates, whom were naturally more preceptive to such things than adults, leading to Jinwoo sealing his memories and powers until he was old enough to be taught how to use them.
Ability and Powers[]
As the son of the Shadow Monarch and an S-Rank Hunter, Suho has immeasurable potential, able to use Ruler's Authority as an infant, floating in the air with other items around him. Concerned that his abilities may cause harm to himself and others, Jinwoo would locked Suho's powers and memories to give him a normal life.
During the Tutorial Trials in high school, a dreamlike world, he entered a gate with access to the System, with Suho fighting through monsters and Shadow Soldiers, building up to the power surpassing an average S-Rank Hunter at lv. 99, the same level Jinwoo fought the Ant King, with Igris noting that he hasn't reached his full potential, but hasn't passed the level limit. He would then fight Jinwoo in a one-on-one battle, losing the power obtained in the tutorial and considered the incident a dream.
In Ragnarok, Suho would awaken his latent abilities and inherited the System, leading to him able to fight and level up against the Mistburns, managing to hold them back before Beru arrived to handle the rest. However, similar to Jinwoo, he would start leveling up to build up the power to fight the invading Apostles and assist his father in fighting the Itarim. However, it was later revealed that due to Jinwoo's System being powered by Ashborn, meant to build him into a strong vessel for the Shadow Monarch, Suho's System was limited to letting him reach the limit of lv.99. He would solve this issue through using Antares, the Dragon Monarch's power as the foundation, leading to Suho being built up into a vessel for the Monarch of Destruction.
- Immeasurable Strength: During the Tutorials, Suho's strength has reached insane levels by leveling up, managing to defeat Igris, reaching lv.99, demolishing the Demon Castle's demons with one punch, fighting monsters and Shadow Soldiers, before fight Bellion in combat then Jinwoo himself, but was overpowered. In Ragnarök, he again built up his strength with the System and Ammut's training replacing daily quests, fighting Hunters, Mistburns, Magic Beasts, Demons, etc., building up his strength but had no foundation like Jinwoo had with Ashborn's power with Antares becoming his. His strength reached the point where "leveling up" was no longer needed, once after annihilating Nidhogg with one attack. It allowed him to fight an Itarim, leading to him combining the powers of Nidhogg and the eight Monarchs' powers, creating the Nidhogg's Swords and Ragnarok to kill it.
- Immeasurable Speed: Suho has exceptional speed and agility, as demonstrated by his ability to keep pace with his father's rapid movements during their brief confrontation during the Tutorials, before being overpowered.
- Immense Durability: His pain and damage tolerance would become far higher from turning into an Awakened Being, then leveling up with the System able to withstand high amounts of damage. Suho's durability naturally increased from Ammut's training, tearing and healing his torn up body, building up a more enduring constitution. He would later endure the Heart of the Dragon King, which continued burning and damaging him after he acquired it, becoming lvl.100 and able to contain it. His training and trials would soon lead to him being able to withstand his powers from using Spiritual Body Manifestation without breaking his vessel.
- Combat Mastery: Despite lacking formal training, Suho is a natural-born fighter. He excels in unarmed combat and is also proficient with weapons like swords and daggers, though he prefers to fight bare-handed. His extensive experience battling in the Dungeons his father created has honed his skills with weapons.
- Accelerated Development: Like his father, Suho possesses an extraordinary growth rate assisted by the System, having inherited his parents' talents. He can rapidly enhance his power through intense training. This was most evident when he quickly learned to transform Shadows into weapons and equipment, a skill that took his father years to acquire.
- Monster Language Fluency: Suho can speak and understand the language of monsters. He uses this skill to talk to Ammut and the monsters he fights.
- Immense Mana: Suho would prioritize raising his strength stat more than mana, leading to his rating being lower than most. Upon acquiring his shadow powers, he would focus on raising his mana until he could be rated as an A-Rank, then S-Rank. Obtaining Antares' Dragon Heart, his mana would grew to +100,000, being rated as a National-Level Hunter able to kill Siddharth Bachchan, who acquired otherworldly and dragon power.
