Sung Suho

Sung Suho (성수호) is the son of the Sung Jinwoo and Cha Hae-In. He is also the main protagonist of Solo Leveling: Ragnarok.

Appearance

Suho is a tall, handsome, and muscular young man with gray eyes and black hair, both of which he inherited from his father. His facial features closely resemble his mother's and share the same softer traits. When using his powers or experiencing intense emotions, his eyes glow blue.

Personality

Suho is an assertive individual who is defined by his drive to become stronger, a trait that he shares with his father. He has also has a strong sense of justice, as demonstrated when he impulsively attacked the Hyena Guild after witnessing them kidnapping innocent people. However, unlike his father, Suho is more of a team player and is willing to form alliances with his father's former enemies in order to achieve his goals. He also sees the other future Monarchs as friends and genuinely cares for their well-being, as displayed when he hastily apologized to Gray for unintentionally overworking him.

It should be noted that despite sharing his father's desire for power, Suho's drive to become stronger comes from his wish to reunite with his parents after they abruptly vanished from his life when he was a child. Despite the fact that they basically abandoned him, Suho doesn't resent them for leaving him behind, especially after he found out the truth about why they left him from Beru, and rarely ever wastes a chance to hone his skills and become stronger so that they can eventually see them again.

Before he became a hunter, Suho was somewhat insecure. This came from being bullied in school for being abandoned by his parents and lacking the strength to fight back against his classmates who'd awakened as hunters. He had also a fascination with ants due to his childhood friendship with Beru and retained his interest in them even after Jinwoo erased his memories. This led to continue drawing them for fun even during his college years and make sure not to accidentally step on any ants that he encountered as a child.^[5]

Abilities

As the son of the Shadow Monarch, Suho is one of the strongest humans alive. By the time he was in high school, he had already far surpassed the average S-Rank Hunter in power and was so strong by that point that only Jinwoo could defeat him in an one-on-one fight. However, as powerful as he is, he has yet to reach his full potential. Most of his powers were also sealed away when he was a toddler, meaning that he must train to regain them all.

• Immense Strength: Suho possesses immense physical strength. As a testament to this, he overpowered Bellion during their first fight^[6] and even managed to hold on his own against his father for a brief period of time. He was also able to climb the floors of the Demon Castle at a significantly faster pace than Jinwoo did during his time as the Player of the System, despite having no soldiers to assist him, and kill Vulcan with just a few blows.^[7]
• Immense Speed: Suho is extremely fast and can move at incredible speeds. This was demonstrated by how he was agile enough to briefly keep up with his father's movements during their battle in the tutorial that Jinwoo created for him.
• Combat Mastery: Despite lacking formal training, Suho is highly skilled at hand-to-hand combat. He is also proficient with weapons such as swords and daggers, though he prefers fighting with his bare hands.
• Accelerated Development: Suho possesses an explosive growth rate and can significantly increase his strength through intensive training over a short period of time.
• Fire Magic: Suho can generate red and black flames and infuse them into his attacks, drastically increasing the amount of damage that he can deal to his opponents.
• Monster Language Fluency: Suho can speak and understand monster tongue, which he uses to communicate with his shadow soldiers, his other future Monarchs, and the enemy monsters that he encounters in battle.
