Khrome is a Sulsa.
Sulsa (sool-sa) translates to "Technician
The sulsa were selected from the best Hwarang warriors. They were Hwa Rang Do's special forces, majoring in infiltration, exfiltration, intelligence gathering, assassination and survival. They used whatever means necessary to carry out there plan. Unlike the ancient Japanese ninja, however, the most important asset of the sulsa was there ideal of hwal bop, which encouraged the warrior to save lives, rather than take them. If one were able to kill, one should be able to heal.
The sulsa played a significant role in the unification of the Korean peninsula. Legend has it that the king of Silla province had a dream of producing the greatest fighting machine in history. Consequently, hwarang do warriors were trained in all aspects of warfare, strategy, and combat. The very best warriors were subsequently selected and trained as sulsa. The chosen few possessed the characteristics of patience, loyalty, trust, courage, intelligence and clevernessThanks to the sulsa's selfless devotion to the kingdom, Silla's neighboring provinces of Koguryo and Paekche were ultimately conquered, unifying Korea into one nation. Unfortunately, the unification also marked the decline of the sulsa. With Silla's enemys in check, there was little use for the kinghts of the night.
During their hayday, the sulsa were experts in the art of concealment in front of others, infiltration and exfiltration techniques, the sudy of stalking, stealth and fast movement. These training tactics and the application of over 4000 hand-to-hand combat techniques made the sulsa an awesome fighting machine. Another aspect of the sulsa's prowess was its weapons expertise. There are over 100 different weapons in the study of Hwa Rang Do, which helped make the sulsa an enemy feared by all.
The method of warfare may have changed over the past 1,800 years, but mans desire to live remains the same. Putting aside all the strategy, weapons, and military jargon, we are all human-even the invincible sulsa. The Hwarang spirit has not endured 18 centuries becasue its techniques are superior, but because people who cherish the art understand the value of man, nature and the universe.
