**Ranul,** also known as "Doctor Doom" is a member of the "Four Newly Emerging Clans" and a member of the "Six New Stars" of Rankers hailed as the up in coming Players with the potential to reach the same level of power as the Nine Kings.

## Physical Appearance

Doctor Doom was described as a middle aged man.

## History

Ranul was a mage under Magic Tower or one of its affiliate School of Thoughts that actively studied magic. During his time studying and improving his magic skills, he had learned about Faust, the Legendary Magic User within the Tower, and came to greatly admire him and see him as the pinnacle of magic users within the Tower and held more reverence, fear and respect for him than even to the Gods and Demons of the 98th Floor of the Obelisk.

During this time, Ranul had performed countless experiments in himself and successfully mutated himself and increasing his magical prowess, with him having based his physical stats and improvements by modeling himself after Faust and successfully coming close to him in terms of magical potential and power. This eventually set him as one of the most powerful and most talented Magicians within the Tower and caused the higher ups of the Magic Tower to respect him and consider him the greatest magician of his generation.

Eventually with the downfall of Cheonghwado and fracturing of Red Dragon, Magic Tower would eventually decided to take advantage of the power vacuum's left behind in order to increase their own influence. This caused them to select all the most talented mages within the various schools of magic within the association and combine them together to form a new clan, Necropolis, and placed Ranul as its leader due to his outstanding abilities.

Ranul in particular would be soon be recognized as one of the new powerhouses within the Obelisk and be placed with the "Six New Stars".

## Abilities

Ranul is considered one of the "Six New Stars" Rankers who where stated to have the potentials to become the next "Kings" of the Obelisk, with him having proven to indeed be powerful during his fight to try and eliminate both Triton and the Hoarder.

Later it was revealed that out of all the current Magic Users within the Obelisk, Ranul was considered the most talented and powerful of the various Magic Towers and was nominated to lead Necropolis because of his ability.

It would then be revealed that Doctor Doom had based his skills, magic and abilities on the fabled Ranker "Faust" and he was stated to have been close in successfully mimicking the Alchemists own power.

### Magic

* **Random Magic Circle Release:** Doctor Doom could use a new form of magic that didn’t require him to store or memorize anything beforehand; he was the only player who could do this. In a way, it was similar to Heaven Wing Cha Jeong-woo’s 〈Random Shooting〉. Different magic circles all shot out magic at the same time. As observed by Boo, Doctor Doom primarily used Kabbalah, Mysterious Studies and the Sephiroth Magics to create this unique formula.
* **Divination:** Ranul was stated to be able to use magic to make "divinations" of the future. Allowing him to accurately make prediction on the actions of his enemies and gain important information. Albeit it was stated that this ability was still not yet fully developed and a still required much more materials and spell craft to complete, as seen where he had hoped to gain the 72 Bian Arts to supplement and improve this ability of his.
