The **Heroes Association** (ヒーロー・アソシエーション, *Hīrōzu Asoshiēshon)* is the largest organization of Heroes in the Known Universe. The Association has nearly 250,000 heroes, divided into squads and / or activity zones and also has a sub-branch called LaGuardia, which evolves on Earth. The purpose of the Association is to maintain peace by combating threats to the people.

## Overview

The Association was created 500 years ago, a few months after the First Great War. It brings together Heroes responsible for fulfilling different missions in the following settings:

* Protect populations
* Mainten order
* Combat threats
* Fight the Monsters' Army
* Save people.

The members of the Association are classified from D-Rank to S-Rank (it is impossible to join the Association if you are an E-Rank or a F-Rank, because you have to know how to control Energy), they earn a salary after each mission carried out. Heroes work, in most cases, in squads, some prefer to work alone.

There are several types of Heroes, those who work in the offices or laboratories of the Association, and the "Field Heroes", who are on the front lines. The latter, if they work in groups, organize Raids to face Monsters more powerful than them (which allows in particular to earn more money). In order for a Raid to go well, the Heroes are assigned to one of the eight possible positions so that the attack is the most optimal and effective against the enemy. It is not uncommon to come across people who can hold two or three different positions if they are versatile enough. On the other hand, people capable of holding the eight positions (at the same time or not) are extremely rare and are called "Jeonseols" (legends).

The Headquarters (called "Eon") is located on the planet Aenbell and is the command center of all the underlying branches (dealing with very specific sectors). On Aenbell, in the basements of the Headquarters, is located the Great Prison, directed by Zion and the Squad 4, and where are locked or sealed various Monsters, ennemies, assassins, thieves, murderers and Sacred Weapons recovered and not finding a taker. The Association would have several branches, but three main which are as follows: LaGuardia, the Scientific Division and the Heroic Armies (responsible for fighting enemy armies). The Heroes Association is currently at war with five nations, the Dragonian Kingdom, New China, the Husid Empire, Warglory and Vistarium and is maintaining violent tensions (currently under control) with the Humanity Front.

## Diplomacy and wars

The Association maintains diplomatic relations with several Allied countries.

### Animalikan Tribes

A relationship of sharing and mutual aid has been established between the two institutions for fifteen years. Before that, they were also allies (since the creation of the Association and the decree between Bai Hu and William Shepherd five hundred years ago), but the Animalikans had decided to cut the bridges during Azoth's tenure at the head of the Association.

### Amazons

For fifteen years, the Association has been allied with the autonomous tribe of the Amazons located in the Oraewon Forest. Azgarda Amazon is a former comrade of Godefroy Gilbert, and their alliance comes from there.

# Association Heroes

* C-Rank
* B-Rank
* A-Rank
* S-Rank
* S-Rank (God)

D-Rank is the lowest possible rank in the Association, since it is from this rank that it is possible to manipulate Energy (even if some E-Rank manage to do so). A D-Rank hero is able to fight E-Rank, D-Rank monsters and, for the most powerful of them, certain C-Rank monsters.

There are exactly 115,423 D-Rank heroes.

C-Rank is the second-lowest possible rank in the Association. A C-Rank hero is able to fight E-Rank, D-Rank, C-Rank monsters and, for the most powerful of them, certain B-Rank monsters.

There are exactly 86,527 C-Rank heroes.

B-Rank is the middle possible rank in the Association. A B-Rank hero is able to fight E-Rank, D-Rank, C-Rank, B-Rank monsters and, for the most powerful of them, certain A-Rank monsters. It is from this rank that one can take the head of a squad.

There are exactly 41,129 B-Rank heroes.

A-Rank is the third-highest possible rank in the Association. An A-Rank hero is able to fight E-Rank, D-Rank, C-Rank, B-Rank, A-Rank monsters and, for the most powerful of them, certain High Monsters. Since S-Rank is a very difficult grade to achieve, A-Rank has become the primary goal of Heroes joining the Association. Their salary is minimum 20,000 piars per mission and they receive several bonuses and privileges, such as the right to obtain a Sacred Weapon, to participate in the Eon Tournament and to the tests to obtain the higher rank.

There are exactly 10,984 A-Rank heroes.

### S-Rank

S-Rank is the supposed highest possible rank in the Association. The S-Ranks are capable of fighting any enemy, but mainly High-Monsters. However, there is such a difference in level between the weakest S-Ranks and the strongest that some are not able to face Unclassifiable Monsters, and others can beat them easily.

S-Ranks are allowed to have multiple Sacred Weapon if they receive them during missions, but they are not allowed to use them at the same time. After the S-Rank Massacre, their number fell from 5,000 to less than 1,000, and the rank became legendary. Currently, all S-Ranks members of the Association are under the jurisdiction of Eon Headquarters, because none has decided to be part of LaGuardia, because of the too weak monsters in the sector of the Earth. The S-Rank are almost all rich, and are adulated.

There are exactly 1,501 S-Rank heroes.

### Top 100 Heroes

The heroes of the Association's top 100 are the only ones to be ranked from 100th to 1st between them.

### Top Heroes

A Top Hero is a member of the Association's top 30 heroes. These people are considered legends and have the role of managing an entire army.

### Special Rank: God

The 'S (Special) Rank', or 'God-Rank' is the highest possibly rank and authority within the **Heroes Association**. This grade was created around 500 years ago (and renamed by Busan Hen in his time) as the administration of the Association. All of the God-Ranks have high-responsibilities concerning lowers-ranked heroes.

Those represents the strongest of all the heroes. They are feared by Association's ennemies, such as Odin or Dann Ymphoss.
There are exactly 10 God-Ranks heroes for each generations.
