Nam Goong Hyuk

==Summary==
Nam Goong Hyuk is an important character in Castle. Introduced as the main security guard of the Hasung group, Hyuk is a high-ranking representative of Castle and one of their most eminent fighters, closely allied to Baek Do-Chan. Hyuk is, in truth, an essential part of Baek's plans and one of his closest allies, being described as Baek's right hand, in counterpart to Barista being his left hand. Calm, collected and dignified, he is the blue to Barista's red, and despite their clashing personalities, they are close allies and friends.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: 
Name: Nam Goong Hyuk; Jackie
Origin: Castle.
Gender: Male.
Age: Unknown, at least on his 20's
Classification: Human; Criminal; Representative of Castle.
Powers and Abilities:
*Superhuman Physical Characteristics
*Analytical Prediction (Fighters on his level can generally predict the moves of the opponent even at a similar skill level, repeatedly and very quickly, being the main method of dealing with weapons, for example)
*Body Control (Could contract his muscles around the area he was stabbed in with such strength that Krisa couldn't pull out a blade out of him[Castle #96])
*Enhanced Senses (Fighters on his level can generally sense danger, fight well with their vision hindered and have sharp senses all around; Krisa describes him as having incredible senses[Castle #96])
*Information Analysis (Fighters on his level, in general, can gauge a person's strength and skill just by looking at them; Noted how Woo-Jin seemed to gain strength despite being battered and exhausted and accurately noted how he developed and got stronger by fighting, and identifying even the techniques he used to endure the fight[Castle #27]; Krisa states that he has excellent senses for analysing a foe and discovering their weaknesses[Castle #96])
*Martial Arts (As a fighter who mostly deals with armed foes with his bare hands or brass knuckles, Hyuk is a phenomenal martial artist, who can take on any kind of foe)
*Pressure Points (Most fighters close to his level are capable of targetting and repeatedly hitting vital points in their fights and using pressure points during combat; Krisa noted how Hyuk kept aiming at his vital points during their fight[Castle #93])
*Reactive Evolution (Hyuk gets stronger as a fight lasts instead of getting weaker[Castle #96])
Attack Potency: Wall level (Somewhat of a powerhouse among fighters of his class, Hyuk is one of Castle's ten representatives[Castle #33] and one of Baek's most trusted and strongest allies, thus putting him on a much higher tier than most of the fighters, with Krisa even stating him to be one of Castle's top 10 strongest fighters[Castle #96]; Is far stronger than Kim Dae-Geon and Pi Woo-Jin before their training arcs, with Woo-Jin being marveled at Hyuk, believing him to be stronger than Min-Seung and if it was even possible to beat him, even with Dae-Geon's help[Castle #24] and that he was invincible[Castle #27], something reaffirmed by Dae-Geon[Castle #36]. Shin stated that Hyuk and Tae-Jin were comparable[Castle #30] and that Hyuk was in Iskra's level[Castle #32]. Krisa noted that he was one Baek's strongest men, and Hyuk's punches could break through Krisa's guard cleanly[Castle #93], something that Woo-Jin could only do after unbalancing him; Sent Dae-Geon and Woo-Jin flying for several meters with his individual, casual punches[Castle #23], slammed Woo-Jin against a reinforced glass wall with enough strength to crack and break it, immediately after sending Woo-Jin flying with a kick[Castle #27])
Speed: Peak Human in movement speed, Subsonic in combat and reaction speed. (Considerably faster than both Dae-Geon and Woo-Jin before their training, easily dodging blows from both of them at the same time[Castle #23] repeatedly[Castle #24]; Keeps up with the likes of Krisa and Barista)
Lifting Strength: Peak Human (Easily grabs and throws Woo-Jin by the leg[Castle #24]; Generally stronger than Krisa, who said that his grip was strong[Castle #91], and who couldn't pull out a blade stuck on him, after Hyuk contracted his muscles around the edge[Castle #96])
Striking Strength: Wall level
Durability: Wall level (Generally scales to his own attack power, and took most of Krisa's blows quite easily; His contracted muscles are hard enough that a blade wielded by Krisa gets stuck attempting to cut out of him[Castle #96])
Stamina: High (Can fight for extended periods of time while injured without much issue)
Range: Standard Melee Range physically, up to Hundreds of Meters with weapons
Standard Equipment: Typically, Hyuk only carries with himself a pair of thick, heavy brass knuckles, and while he may arm himself with other weapons if needed, he favours his knuckles above all else
Standard Tactics: Hyuk is a direct slugger of a fighter, approaching his foes physically the best he can, and upon doing so, overwhelming them with a mix of astounding strength and careful skill, seemingly employing brute strength alone, but in truth, often carefully analysing a foe and subtly using the environment, the opponent's weaknesses and technique to defeat them.
Intelligence: Gifted. Hyuk is not only a very skilled fighter and one of Castle's most knowledgeable members, who is in even the obscure conspiracies developed by Baek, but he is a quick thinker and noted of cunning, who can quickly deduce plans and tactics employed by the likes of Shin.
Weaknesses: Standard human weaknesses
==Feats==
Hide/Show
*Martial Arts: Hyuk is an exceptional martial artist, mostly dealing with his foes with his bare hands or brass knuckles, even when they are armed with firearms or blades. During his whole fight with Krisa, he gradually and subtly pushed Krisa into a corner by tactically moving the fight, where he could fully employ his size and strength advantage against Krisa[Castle #96].
