The Almighty Shackle

The Almighty Shackle is an anti-Faunus, pro-human group. It has been categorized often as a hate group and/or a terrorist group. Some branches of this group even have a sectarian demeanor.

Ideology
The Almighty Shackle, as already mentioned, has a strong anti-Faunus mindset, seeing them as inferior beings that want to steal the social position that supposedly belongs to humans. Members of this group involve in diverse forms of abuse towards Faunus, ranging from verbal aggressions, social erasure, paternalistic behaviors, and physical aggressions, to even worse (but fortunately less common) forms of abuse such as sexual abuse, terrorist attacks, and even murderings.

According to their mindset, just like everything in the universe, the Faunus are "ranked" due to their traits; taking this in consideration, Faunus that have traits of prey animals or of animals considered "inferior" such as insects suffer more abuse and are treated worse than those with predator traits or traits of animals that are dangerous to humans (such as snakes or sharks). They don't discriminate by factors such as gender and social class; if they're a Faunus, they'll be against them no matter what.

There's actually no oficial way of joining the group, so all the methods are rather considered de facto. These methods mostly consist in welcoming rituals in which the person willing to join has to injury and humillate a Faunus, and proclamate human supremacy and alignment with the group while doing so. After this, they can start wearing the official symbol on their clothes and/or over their skin; a white circle made of a couple of shackles.

The Almighty Shackle has several branches; some of them behave more like sects with a fundamentalist philosophy, while others behave like formal associations under spurious names, and others behave more like street gangs without an actual religious background. Usually, these last branches tend to be the less aggressive ones.

Members of this group also treat openly anti-Faunus famous people as idols, and some of them are open to work as henchmen in kidnappings and terrorist attacks, and, in some uncommon cases, there are even hitmen that are open to kill Faunus for money.

Trivia

 * Its name makes reference to the Great chain of being (also known as scala naturae), a strict, religious hierarchical structure of all matter and life, believed to have been decreed by God. Humans are placed after God and divine beings, and before non-human animals, plants, and minerals.
 * A shackle can be a device that encircles the ankle or wrist of a prisoner or captive, or a hobble for an animal; this making reference to their authoritarian, anti-Faunus stance.
