===Ideology=== | |||
The Beast Tamers' goal is to find a way to control others' powers,<ref name="yuma1">{{Transient icon|Yuma}} Research File 1</ref> namely their own as many members lacked a way to control themselves back in their [[World (setting)|home worlds]].<ref name="ch14"></ref><sup>14</sup><!--namely the [[Role]] and [[Rule]] of a currently unknown individual in order to save humanity.<ref name="ch8">[[Event Quest:Main Quest 8 Chapter Release Campaign|Chapter 8: Genociders - Beyond the Overlapping Ends]]</ref><sup>16</sup>--> In order to accomplish this, their members conduct experiments to research the nature of Transients, Transient biology, and their memories.<ref name="ch14"></ref><sup>14</sup><ref name="ch8"></ref><sup>10</sup> The researchers are heavily dedicated to their work, making sure to commit the data and results of their findings to memory. In an emergency, they can destroy and abandon their research if need be.<ref name="ch8"></ref><sup>15</sup> This makes the researchers a valuable commodity of information, so they take on bodyguards to protect them.<ref name="ch8"></ref><sup>8</sup> | |||
Due to their extensive research into Transient biology, they are highly knowledgeable about Transients, even more so than [[Representative|World Representatives]] in a certain way.<ref name="ch14"></ref><sup>14</sup> | |||
===Members=== | |||
All members of the Beast Tamers are Therians.<ref name="leib">{{Transient icon|Leib}} Research File 2</ref> While the guild's research determines that Yuma is a human, Yuma believes that he was always meant to be born as a Therian. Because of this, he has been designated as a cryptid—an Unidentified Mysterious Animal.<ref name="yuma2">{{Transient icon|Yuma}} Research File 2</ref> | |||
Leib is the guild's advisor.<ref name="leib"></ref> | |||
In addition to his research, {{Transient icon|Pazuzu}} acts as the guild's public negotiator between other parties.<ref name="pazuzu">{{Transient icon|Pazuzu}} Research File 1</ref> Due to the nature of {{Transient icon|Hastur}}'s abilities, he is both a valuable protector for the guild's experiment subjects and a security risk to the guild itself, so he alongside his tamer Pazuzu work separately from the rest.<ref name="hastur">{{Transient icon|Hastur}} Research File 2</ref> | In addition to his research, {{Transient icon|Pazuzu}} acts as the guild's public negotiator between other parties.<ref name="pazuzu">{{Transient icon|Pazuzu}} Research File 1</ref> Due to the nature of {{Transient icon|Hastur}}'s abilities, he is both a valuable protector for the guild's experiment subjects and a security risk to the guild itself, so he alongside his tamer Pazuzu work separately from the rest.<ref name="hastur">{{Transient icon|Hastur}} Research File 2</ref> | ||

The Beast Tamers are no more than an extension of [[Ueno Academy]] and its research. As the experiments they do is considered to be important for modern society, researchers and test subjects are closely managed, restricted from conducting work with personal motives. Before they can do anything, they have to understand what their higher-ups want.<ref name="ch8"></ref><sup>15</sup> No info is allowed to leave the laboratory. Research heads are forbidden from leaking any info, even if they deem it safe.<ref name="ch8"></ref><sup>8</sup> However, during [[Event Quest:Main Quest 8 Chapter Release Campaign|Chapter 8]], Leib declares that the Beast Tamers will begin independent operations, prioritizing their own survival over any orders from Ueno Academy.<ref name="ch8"></ref><sup>15</sup> | |||
After the events of [[Event Quest:Main Quest 8 Chapter Release Campaign|Chapter 8]], the Beast Tamers and [[Outlaws]] have formed an alliance.<ref name="ch14">[[Event Quest:Main Quest:Chapter 4 Release Campaign|Chapter 14: Entertainers & Rule Makers ~Prelude~ -Alibi of the Urban Legends-]]</ref><sup>5</sup> | |||
The Beast Tamers later joined the Great Guild Alliance alongside other guilds such as the [[Missionaries]], [[Gurus]], and [[Wanderers]] among others during [[Event Quest:Main Quest:Chapter 4 Release Campaign|Chapter 14]] to help rescue the missing Guild Masters.<ref name="ch14"></ref><sup>15</sup> | |||
==Beasts and Tamers== | |||
The guild members are given the temporary Roles of Beasts and Tamers in order to control their powers to an extent.<ref name="ch14"></ref><sup>14</sup> Its members are grouped up, one Beast and Tamer per pair. Beasts act as bodyguards who protect the researchers of the guild, the Tamers. | |||
The Beast Tamer system is primarily a means of protecting its important researchers and the information they retain. Another purpose is to match possibly dangerous Transients with another who can rein them in.<ref name="ch8">[[Event Quest:Main Quest 8 Chapter Release Campaign|Chapter 8: Genociders - Beyond the Overlapping Ends]]</ref><sup>8</sup> Together, they work as a single unit that performs their duties and maintains good affinity with each other.<ref name="leib"></ref> | |||

* | * The true nature of {{Transient icon|Yuma}}'s Sacred Artifact is unclear because of how majority belief within a body works. The inside of a body is considered a Battle Zone, so a Sacred Artifact that is part of or imbedded within their body can be used without the help of [[the App]].<ref name="ch9">[[Release Campaign:Main Quest Chapter 9|Chapter 9: The Crafters - Karmic Engine]]</ref><sup>9</sup> It's possible to alter how one's internal Sacred Artifact works simply by believing it works in another way.<ref>[[Event Quest:Valentine Festival!|Valentine's Extravaganza! Glutton in the Dessert Fair]]</ref><sup>11</sup> Because of this, there are two explanations for Yuma's power: he is either a human who can turn into Therians with the help of his Sacred Artifact or naturally has the abilities of a shapeshifting Therian, helped by his strong conviction that he is a Therian. In the end, both explanations give the same result, but the Beast Tamers cannot determine which of the two is correct. | ||
