12 Angels

Koryuu and Shien

**12 Angels** (**十二天使**) are a criminal association, that are responsible for the invention and production of the drug "Milk".

The boss of the group is the young looking Koryuu and right-hand man Shien. The group, had been inactive, for many years until a short appearance in Taimanin Asagi Battle Arena, in which it resurged.

## Policy

Criminal group which uses demonic tentacle creatures to create drugs for money and control.

Follows the orders of their leader Koryuu. The group is held together by Koryuu's cruelty, which punishes failure very hard. Most members only interact with executives and have never seen Koryuu herself. The OVA Special Agent Rei & Fuko (OVA) implies, the name comes from the 12 leading female members of the group. While most of the leading members are women, they still captured many other women that are needed to produce the drug milk. In the game, it is mentioned that 12 executives like Koryuu exist, but only Koryuu is the boss. All members are set to be color coded, with Koryuu being the "Yellow Dragon".

The group had multiple hideouts, in damaged and abandoned parts of Tokyo. They are noted to be aggressive towards other criminal rival, and strongly territorial and are linked to the Chinese Union.

## History

A drug cartel, with strong ties to the Chinese Union, it is rumored to have 1000 if not, 10000 members.

The group was under control of Koryuu's father for many years until she killed him at age 10, and took the group over the years with the help of her cyborg bodyguard Shien Chou. They operated mostly in Tokyo and Tokyo Kingdom City, they produce the highly addictive drug "Milk" with the use of tentacle creatures, which they somehow created and changed by genetically engineering. The group defeated their rival North Cartel in the year 2049, which resulted in a Section Seven agent member Kirisawa Rei, escape and recovery. 12 Angels had leaked the hideout information of North Cartel, and used the cover of Section Seven's raid, to kill the boss of North Cartel Joaquin Knight themselves.

In the year 2054, the group grew in strength, thanks to the improvements of "Milk", which they could sell cheap, and which was very addictive. In need of "cows", they kidnapped women around Tokyo, which even if released would return thanks to their addiction. The European Union, considered a recovery from the drug as highly difficult even with current technology levels. Half a year into an investigation of Section Seven, Koryuu decided to send a warning, by capturing two of their agents, using one of their cover companies to leak information and create a scenario in which Kirisawa Rei and Izumi Fuuko would have been forced to investigate the location themselves and set themselves up for an ambush.

The group was highly weakened after these events of Special Agent Rei & Fuko. While the plan, to humiliate the agents and sent video material, as warning went well at first, both did not break but when "fake freed" on a public train, Rei made contact with Section Seven, and they were cought in an ambush themselves. Koryuu, was injured and second in command, Shien Chou, stayed behind near death to ensure her escape. With many members killed, captured and the leadership now in confusion, section seven now also could return a mentally well Rei and Fuuko, which helped to find further hideouts. 12 Angels lost, resources and members quick, and the returning Koryuu was blamed for the failure.

With no Shien to back her up, Koryuu became a "cow" herself, though the second in command Fei Jiu planned to make her a pet, to ensure his own standing and become the boss of the group. However, even with training, Koryuu remained resistant and believed in the return of Shien. Though, most assumed he had died, Shien did return and killed Fei Jiu. While 12 Angels, had lost power and required years to recover, the group reformed with the two once more.

### Timeline TABA

In Taimanin Asagi Battle Arena the group has been reformed. Even if some of the dates have changed, their defeat by agents is the same. Koryuu was able to rebuild 12 Angels, and they started the production of Neo Milk using a captured Tachibana Ichirou (in his tentacle monster form), which came from another universe. By mistake, they also captured Minasaki and Lilim, as Fuuma Kotaro (TABA) observed the resurgence of 12 Angels, he began an attack to take back what was his. However, when confronted by Shien Chou struggled to make a move at first.

12 Angels were destroyed later once more, by Futaba Lily Ramses, there to rescue Ichirou and the Fuuma Organization. Neo Milk was lost, but Shien and Koryuu could escape once more, hoping to find another way to gain power. While "What If" scenarios also explore the idea of a capture of her, canonically, she took over a hot spring as a boss, in which Koryuu hosted a neutral area to make money, as things went badly for a while. 12 Angels is not mentioned in RPGX and other material at the moment.
