However, that doesn\'t mean that Baam isn\'t an Irregular. Part of the issue is that there\'s really two conflicting definitions for Irregular that have been given at different points: One is anyone who takes the test without being invited (as Rachel is) and the other is anyone who forced the test\'s door open themselves, indicating that they\'re freakishly powerful (as Baam did.) Since both of them seem to be treated as Irregulars by the tower\'s social structures, they should probably both be listed as such here.

I\\\'m also not sure that the \\\'chosen by the tower\\\' that Headon talked about is the same thing that makes someone a Regular. The way other characters have talked about it implies, to me, that there\\\'s usually more to it than that -- people assumed that Baam would already have learned about the tower in the process of being chosen, say.
In any case, I suspect that the fanbase places way more stock in the \\\'status\\\' of an Irregular than it\\\'s actually worth. Being able to force the door of the tower open is significant because it means you have incredible power, and taking the tests without permission is disruptive to the existing social structure of the tower (as established by the king) because it means you are operating outside it. Beyond that it doesn\\\'t mean very much in and of itself.

Akryung is definitely not an Irregular; he isn\'t actually taking the test at all. He is [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/tower_of_god/v01/c077/17.html a person Headon prepared]] as an escort for Rachel. By process of elimination (and from the fact that Headon flat-out said she wasn\'t chosen), we know Rachel is an Irregular. (According to the wiki, Rachel was also noted in the author\'s blog as being the first known Irregular to be assigned the Light Bearer position. The fact that Rachel was an Irregular was never a secret, in other words.)
