Kochō no Yakuza

A Butterfly is a symbol of hope, a symbol of change. Its colorful wings may either bring joy in a sunny day, or a devastating whirlwind that consumes everything in its path. A Butterfly carries both Peace and Chaos on its wings. That is us. Kochō no Yakuza - The Butterfly Yakuza.Kochō no Yakuza is a VRChat roleplay community themed after the Yakuza game series and Japanese culture in general. The group was founded on 1st of September 2021 by Ginger Tea. They wish to provide, bring together and entertain. Providing a friendlier place for VRChat public to roleplay in is one of the aims they wish to achieve, alongside with helping other communities with bigger projects. Bringing together both new and veteran players who have nowhere else to go, educating people about VRChat as a whole and keeping them up to date on what is going on in this vast but confusing place. Entertaining both the public and their people with external and internal roleplay which are still in development. Giving people a place to feel welcomed and a place anybody can feel they belong to.
=Lore summary =
“The year is 204X. 
One thing I realized is that when war breaks out, it is not humans who fight. Humans are just instruments of war, like guns and tanks. Instead, when war breaks out, it is human ideologies that fight.
The last century was riddled with wars like that, each one of them for a different cause.
I have never believed in good or bad. It is an interesting concept but only usable in propaganda. “We are good, they are bad” say both sides. So which one is it? 
If you think the world has learnt its lesson, you will be as disappointed as I am. 
The Cold war has heated up. Not only to the temperature of a bullet that has just been fired, not only to the temperature of a tank’s roaring engine. It got heated up to the temperature of a detonated nuclear bomb. Several of them in fact.
Smart people in smart clothes stopped dumb leaders from causing a total Armageddon, so we are still able to breathe normally and most of the world is still intact. 
For how long though? 
The world is drained. Emotionally, economically, of resources. The gap between the rich and the poor is getting bigger with each passing day. Everybody does their best to survive. 
The war that is still going on is... very draining. West against the East. You can hear the blood-freezing roaring of machine guns in many places of the Globe. 
Into this world you are dragged. Willingly or against your will, underprepared, unlucky. Right into the neutral Japan’s capital. 
A Japan that does not support either side. 
They say that the darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis. 
However, it seems you won’t be visiting hell alone. 
You are part of the Murasaki Clan run by Murasaki Shōga. Obstacles become easier to overcome when there are people you can count on. 
You feel a warm presence of some kind of entity that’s helping you on every step of your way. Occasionally you can see something floating behind your comrades.
A band of Misfits with a Dream is all it takes to survive. 
Spread your scarred wings and puncture the sky.”

Spread your scarred wings and puncture the sky.
-The Kochō no Yakuza Motto
*Kochōdō is our set of rules that define who we are and what we do. It is also an alternative name for members in our clan. 
*Kochō no Yakuza means "The Butterfly Yakuza" - it is the nickname of Murasaki Clan due to the butterfly-shaped pin we use.
===The Sakazuki Oath Script===
Say your name(s from left to right.) (At once,) 
Say the vows you wish to uphold. 
I vow I shall carve my path alongside the Kochōdō.
If anger and doubts start to flow in 
Then I shall win all my battles within. 
In the world of endless Entropy 
I shall uphold order and loyalty. 
As long as our Butterfly is able to fly 
Then honor and hope are last to die. 
If Hellfire is the key to reach our dreams 
Then the ends justify our means 
Through blood, sweat and tears 
I'll serve the Kochōdō for ten thousand years 
Everyone, prepare your cups and repeat after me. 
My word, my promise 
Family above my life 
Spread my wings for us 
Honor, truth, fairness 
Hold them closer than your heart 
To puncture the sky 
Drink your cups.
We are the Butterfly Yakuza. Messengers of Peace and Chaos with promises of a better tomorrow. Repeat our motto after me, spread your scarred wings and puncture the sky
