Enforcer Corps

The **Enforcer Corps** ( Enfōsā-tai?) is an organization that has existed since the ending of the Tarnished War, dedicating its existence to protecting humanity from demons.

There are hundred thousands of Enforcers within the organization. With R. Doma's possession and the second breach of the demon race, the Corps officially began its rise to military superiority.

## Structure

### Joining

In order to become an Enforcer, an individual must pass the Survival Exam, a test used as an entrance exam to join the Enforcer Corps. During this selection, examinees must survive through a large room infested with demons without any aid from the outside world.

Candidates who complete the Survival Exam are issued the standard uniform, as well as being given their own special weapon, which is designed personally to eliminate Demons and Monsters efficiently. Each new Enforcer is also assigned one of a rare species of combat dog for multiple purposes.

### Salary

First Ranks are roughly paid around 10,000 tabs, Lieutenants are paid tripled that of a First Rank, and Commanders are paid around 1 million tabs per year.

### Rank

Members of the Enforcers are separated into 5 different ranks. From lowest rank to highest, these ranks are:

1. First Rank
2. Cadet
3. Lieutenant
4. Commander
5. Squad Leader

Once an Enforcer has fully settled into the organization, they are classified as a member of the lowest rank: First Rank. They must complete a variety of missions to ultimately climb the ranks and reach the highest Enforcer position: Squad Leader.

Following the Survival Exam, each soldier has their rank memorized by their combat dog companion. As they continue to progress as soldiers, they can check their rank by saying a password and petting their companion to reveal their status.

### The Five

Within the Enforcer Corps, there is a group of elites known as The Five. This group consists of the most powerful combatants in the organization.

The Five, in accordance with their great strength, are the most highly ranked members of the Corps, second only to the leader of the organization.

In order to become eligible to join The Five, an Enforcer must either successfully master their Kara ability in completion or be directly related to one of the current five members.

### History

After the first Tarnished War, Nigel Barata created the Enforcer Corps to rival all future otherworldly threats. Nigel states: "This organization will be created to counter the very forces that destroyed our world and ways of life. And every soldier is mandatory to have an extreme desire to save this world, whether from demons or higher monsters." This indicates that the creation of the Enforcer Corps was initially meant to build heroes for the world.

### Abilities

All Enforcers including lower-ranked members have Kara abilities along with enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, stamina, durability, and with The Five, the physically strongest in the organization, having all aforementioned abilities at god-like levels.

## Equipment

The members of the Enforcers wear a uniform that is highly advanced and adaptable to all terrain. Although the uniform can be easily damaged by heavy attacks by monsters, a nano tech like fabric prevents the wearer from taking any severe damage including fall damage. They sport their uniforms with a belt labeling their rank and padded slacks. An alternative to padded slacks are often replaced with padded cargos or baggy pants.

The Enforcer uniform consists of a black military turtleneck with an Enforcers symbol engraved on the collar. It also consists of long, durable bandages applied on the wrists and ankles that extends into tabi socks. Some Enforcers chose to wear zori slippers or military boots, even barefoot in some cases.

### Weapon Selection Process

Weapons are personally given based on the fighting style or personality of each Survival Exam contestant to maximize their ability to slay demons or monsters. They are chosen by the exam spectators and are forged with holy water, one of the only major weaknesses of demons. Therefore, decapitation by any weapon chosen is one of the only ways a human can kill a demon, the other being the use of a uniquely crafted bullet blessed by Kara monks. If a monster of any kind attempted to hold one of these weapons their bodies will burn rapidly, this is because of the blessing added to the special ore lining every weapon has. Certain weapons have separate blessings like heaviness or banishment.

The personally chosen weapons directly interacts with the users Kara ability. For example, Niko's dagger handle is only effective when a certain amount of Kara energy is sent through it.

### Combat Companion

Upon passing the Survival Exam, each new Soldier is also assigned a Combat Canine. These dogs posses the ability to sense demons, though their noses are somewhat limited, they still have heightened senses.

It is the job of these canines to help appoint missions to their designated Enforcer as well as accompany them as long as physically possible.
