Ryujin Kai Lore

RK is an organized crime group that rose to a corporate group after officially integrating with the Ryujin Family, said to be the most influential group throughout Asia, usually gaining power by way of aggression or Espionage and influence. RK has a large network in Asia, assisted by the influence of the BIGBOSS. Rather than engaging in conflict with other factions they are more likely to engage in various criminal activities such as: bank robberies, kidnapping, murder, racketeering, extortion, money laundering, weapons trafficking, drug manufacturing, fraud, arson, vandalism, street racing, Data broker and police impersonation. RK prioritizes gaining profit and growing their network, so they would rather sell products, services or have a business partnership with another faction. These days they have been pursuing and growing their legal businesses instead.
While a lot of the business run by the organization are not public friendly, RK also maintains a legal lifestyles through various businesses they own or operate, ranging from Mercenary work, Security Services, The Media industry, Casinos, F&B, Automotive sales and the Mining & logistics industries. These businesses serve as additional income outside of crime, also adds in a variety of "Beneficial" ways to help the organization such as money laundering. Usually if the members aren't around in the city or country, they may be doing Private military contracts somewhere around the world.
RK currently as of 2024, has a line up of 5 generations, including the Founding Members; it sums up to a total of 69 members all together.
==Origin==
Ryujin Kai (龍神会) (RK) formerly known as "14K" was formed in February 25th, 2021 by the BIGBOSS. The name 14K was collectively decided on for no reason after all members could not decide on a name and replied with "K" until year 2023, The organization formally changed into Ryujin Kai (龍神会)
The Ryujin Group is a organization led by the Ryujin Family
==Events==
The foundation
Mr.Ryujin Forced into Mercenary life as a child out of survival from his own family, He grew up in harsh environments where death is just at the corner. He was taken in by a PMC group that trained and fed him over the years despite him already trained by his family pre civil war. Hungry for more knowledge and experience to help with his come back he trained and did a number of contracts for the PMC group. By the time he became a teenager he was contacted by his Uncle **Henry Wong** with news to start fighting the opposing faction within the family. War again took place yet after more lead, blood and time. The original faction has taken back control of the family but his elders wanted more from him before he can take up the mantle of his father as the head. The young man set off across the world recruiting potential talents to work for him thus founding RK which originally was named "14K".
The first branch was founded by the BIGBOSS and his founding members. They were faced with a lot difficulties at that time due to a variety of factors such as a lack of inexperience, resources and harassments from other factions for petty or unknown reasons. The organization struggled heavily, from there it only got worse as they got into a full scale war and not by choice. The war lasted for 6months with multiple ceasefires in between but eventually concluded after a huge operation, manipulating all the other factions against "MS13" forcing them to tuck tail and surrender. Amidst the war, RK did manage to rise and grow in the city, taking over the Media & Mining industry. During the war, the organization had several confrontations with other small factions putting them in a risky situation. RK needed to strategize and use all methods to indirectly fight against the smaller factions amidst all the chaos. He made use of propaganda and several strategies to put the pests down, eventually the chaotic situation ended with a huge tsunami and earthquake forcing everyone to evacuate. The city was never able to recover, everyone had to gather their remaining resources and move on.
The organization went on to set up several branches across the globe after this event. Some branches remained small, some grew powerful and others didn't make it.
Sleeping Dragon
12/2021 - The organization formed a new branch in a different city, this time a lot of members were sent to the city. Immediate work was done, from intel, resources and business. It was all swift and efficiently set up but Unfortunately due to unknown reasons amidst all this, they were attacked by a small faction "Sinaloa Cartel" the phrase "Don't wake up the sleeping dragon" came to action in this moment. RK in this branch, they had everything they needed to make short work of their enemies but in this case it was about exterminating pests. RK easily took over the city and became the top faction, keeping everyone in check, businesses booming, money flowing until "John Vance Smith" a 1st Generation member of RK discussed with the BIGBOSS about "Los Santos"
Rises from the East, Sets on the west
02/2022 - The BIGBOSS made a decision to visit "Los Santos" and 36 of his members followed suit, unfortunately those members due to complications all went back to their perspective branches, warzones for PMC contracts and or retired. The BIGBOSS decided to call in the new "3rd Generation members" to set up in LS for the new branch while he infiltrates LSPD for intel. The 3rd Gen members of the organization were temporarily led by Jay Wong, the only surviving cousin of the BIGBOSS. Operations were going smoothly till again conflict with almost all factions in the city came for unknown reasons, this compromised the initial plan of being under the radar. RK went into war with The Lost MC which easily resulted in a win but at the cost of their resources and 1 of their member KIA, the war lasted for few weeks and ended with a truce. The result was not satisfactory with the patriarch and he decided to step down from being undercover in LSPD to handle the organization from there on.
The TRIADS
01/05/2022 - Charlie Harper known as the UNDERBOSS of the organization of this branch, proposed to the BIGBOSS about forming an alliance with both The Sacred Flower & The Kitsune Gumi Yakuza. Mr.Ryujin was very skeptical at first as all the alliances formed in the past ended in betrayal but Mr.Harper managed to persuade him eventually due to the cultural roots of both SF & KGY, the fact that he has good friends & connections in those 2 factions helped. The meeting happened with help from Rupz Lopez who is a active member of KGY, the Triad alliance was born after "but will the 3 headed dragon last?" is what Mr.Ryujin thought
Love is both Poison/Medicine
05/2022 - After various personal events RK & KGY found themselves in a tense situation due to the family feud between Yami Kitsune & Ellie Velasquez who at that time was the BIGBOSS's woman. This event almost led to war between the 2 factions due to the Oyabuns actions towards the BIGBOSS. Behind the scenes Mr.Harper worked up a plan and confronted Ellie Velasquez, this led her to confront Yami Kitsune and resulted in a long back and forth heated argument that eventually de-escalated. The tense situation between the both factions calmed once the BIGBOSS regained his memories due to the due to a major injury in the head after a car accident but for how long?
Calm before the Storm
06/2022 - The heat between RK & KGY started to build up again after a series of events. The Lost MC being inactive and MIA around the city, the organization declared to take over the CHOP SHOP that the MC watches over, this brought out the remaining MCs out of the sewers resulting in war. The organization remained on top of the MC and war ended anti-climatically, the MC started spreading false rumors about RK playing victim to get the sympathies of other faction despite being a "criminal". Unfortunately other factions bought it & looked down on RK but the organization was not fazed. KGY acted even more disrespectful towards RK, they believed the information provided by The Lost MC despite RK's attempts in clarifying themselves. Reputation and value of the organization pummeled, while this was happening KGY was growing in power and the organization speculates that KGY had grown in ego and thought of RK as lesser value, due to this organization lost a lot of face due to insults, disrespect and propaganda that kept coming after.
The Fall
07/2022 - The whole drama escalated creating more animosity between the 2 factions despite being in an alliance. A frustrated Mr. Harper requested a HIT on Mr. Kitsune through Mr. Rosewall, this alerted Mr.Ryujin to notify Mr. Harper to cancel that HIT or make an excuse for putting one on the Oyabun of KGY, Mr.Ryujin was confronted by Mr. Kitsune about the HIT, not surprised Mr.Ryuji bluffed, claiming it was a test of sorts, not expecting it to work. Mr. Kitsune did not buy it, later Mr. Harper was kidnapped and tortured by the KGY, the whole of RK was in uproar but the BIGBOSS despite his frustration knew they could not make a big move yet instead they started scheming, manipulating the COSA against KGY, Mr.Ryujin started the process of planting the seeds and the rest of his members continued to water it. After couple of weeks COSA officially went into confrontation with KGY, 2 high rank members of KGY were easily taken and brought into the COSA's turf. Both father and daughter, Chigusa & Mr. Kitsune were beaten, tortured by the COSA while some members of both the RK & SF were present watching anonymously. The obvious outcome of a war between COSA & KGY happened after, though it only lasted a day or two. Eventually because of the friendship between KGY and the Mandem, COSA ended up fighting with the Mandem after KGY tucks tail.
The 3 headed dragons didn't last after all
} a Sentry of RK inside BeanMachine managed by the organization, this ticked the last line for even the BIGBOSS
The organization gathered up and confronted the Oyabun in the tuner shop which ended with Curtis Garcia stabbing him on their way out, caught off guard the oyabun had prepared men to shoot incase of him being endangered, this brought RK down and with heavy injuries. From here on it was a full scale war between KGY & RK, once friends now enemies.
Fox Hunt
11/2022 As the war started, RK deployed a series of strategies used to overcome powerful factions in the past which proved effective in the whole course of war but the organization had to fight with limited resources and equipment while their enemies were powerful in both network, resources and power. As time goes by RK grows successful in most dog fights against KGY catching them by surprise and beating them down head on, after a whole week of raising fire all over the city, KGY called in to end the war, surrendering.
==Culture==
Aside from the mentioned oriental culture in RK, within the organization its own culture was formed. One of it is a form of teambuilding that the members can demand from the leaders if they were bored (the "Team building" event) It is a proper yet small scale planned activity that can be anything fun and stupid that will help solidify the comradery between members, It was later learned that this phenomenon is called "SBS" and it springs out during moments such as their "Team Building" occasions.
Jokes aside, RK has a culture of heavily punishing its members for breaking any code laws, it can vary from each branch from different cities but in general its always a heavy punishment. (Especially if OOC)
Like any other organization, RK has their very own ceremonies for specific occasions:
*Welcoming Ceremony performed for the initiates to transition to a official member
*Warring Ceremony performed before heading out to war to boost moral & brace oneself for death & honor
*Funeral Ceremony for the honorable dead.
The Welcoming Ceremony is performed always for new members after a long process of recruitment, a funeral is only performed during the passing of a member and the Warring Ceremony is reserved only for when it marks the end of a big war, not every war but one with impact! A big finale you could say.
The organization has several divisions with different tasks, the most notable among them would be the SENTRY Division
Unlike most groups, This division has several tasks to perform, they are also there to help keep the other divisions in check as some members are unidentified to anyone except the BIGBOSS. The group also provides training in procedures, CQB, tactics, Sentry work and etc.. to help grow the overall efficiency of the whole organization and create effective, fast response and or efficient units in their respected field of focus. As the division is used both as a intelligence network and a logistics source, there are plans of creating a new division for purely non-combat members with no dangers involved as the Sentry Division will still have you involved in dangerous situations. The new division plans are for those official members who are non-combatants that support the organization, they will be handling affairs such as business, documents, R&D, Labor for raw resources and the occasional passing of intel and spreading of rumours to assist the Sentry Division
