-Robert on W.A.U's future.

The **World Adventure Union** , also known by it's acronym **W.A.U.**, is an organization which oversees all adventurers and adventuring activities. It issues licenses and permits for adventurers to travel to any country, enter ruins or secret areas and obtain any treasure there.

Founded around 50 years ago by the Adventure Aristocrats, it is currently headed by President Robert. It has bases in various parts of the world and has numerous personnel under its employment. It's coffers hold enough treasure to buy a continent’s worth of countries.

It's future is currently at risk as its reputation had hit rock bottom thanks to the misdeeds of Akhator and other adventurers. The Global Alliance for Humanity is currently controlling the Union and has placed a ban on all adventuring activities. Adventurers are no longer allowed to travel about freely.

## Description

### Adventurer License and Test

Anyone who wishes to become an adventurer must first obtain an Adventurer License from the World Adventure Union. Licensed adventurers are given permission to travel about for the purpose of locating and obtaining treasure. They are also able to gain rewards and points from the Union and go up the ranks.

In order to obtain the Adventurer License, one has to pass the Adventurer Test which takes place every three years. The test comprises several rounds, testing the candidates on various adventurer skills, including fighting and puzzle-solving. The venue and the challenges are different for every Adventurer Test.

### Points and Ranking System

When an adventurer obtains treasure or find lost ruins, the Union will calculate the value of the ruins or treasure and convert that into points, which the adventurer will gain. On special occasions, the adventurers will gain points by helping the union solve a crisis, like the Akhator war. Once the adventurer gains more points than the adventurer that is one rank higher, he or she will rank up above them, (eg: Aligon in H01 Wrath of the Mummy was mentioned to have found the lost temple of Taurus at Greece, so he gained points and ranked up from 16th to 10th).

## Types of Adventurers

Adventurers can come in all shapes and sizes, some even work together. There are the three types of adventurers.

### Solo adventurers

Solo adventuring means that the adventurer will adventure alone unless called by the Union to adventure with others. Examples of solo adventurers are Fenrir, Akhator and Jones.

### Pair team adventuring

Like the name suggests, pair adventuring refers to two adventurers who work together and share the same treasure, rank and points eventually obtained. Some examples are Alex and Lulu, Aina and Karashi.

### Adventurer teams

Adventurer teams, like pair team adventuring are a group of people who work together and share the same treasure, rank and points. Other than being in a larger number, the other difference about an adventurer team is that there is always a team leader who leads the team while adventuring. Some examples of team leaders are Marie Wright, who leads Team Cygnus, and Wolfe Rodrick, who leads White Wolf Team.

## Dark Adventurers

Dark Adventurers are adventurers who committed crimes while adventuring, (i.e., killing other adventurers for treasure, trying to fool the union into giving them points, cannibalism etc.). Some examples are Jeff and Nacho. They are usually hunted down and eventually brought to the adventurer prison.

#### List of Dark Adventurers:

* Jeff (Bonesaw Jeff) Murder
* Nacho (Grease King) Cannibalism
* Gareth (Purple Haze Team) Fooling the Union
* Ming (Twilight Doctor) Attempted murder, Experimenting on Exotic Animals, Working with the Nazi
* Akhator (The Violent) Starting the Akhator war
* Wolfe Rodrick (White Wolf Team) Helping the Nazi
* Teddy Rodrick (Hound Master) Helping the Nazi

### Dark Adventurer Hunters

Dark adventurers hunters are adventurers who are appointed by the President to hunt down dark adventurers and bring them to the prison. They are usually high ranked adventurers due to the fact the dark adventurers are usually strong and violent and will fight back.

#### List of hunters:

* Axe (Mageblade Shaman) (Currently)
* Wolfe Rodrick (White Wolf Team) (Formerly)
* Benny (Silver Bullet) (Sometimes)
* Robert (The Union President) Currently
