Yōshisada

The "Yōshisada" is a group of powerful and infamous persons who are authorized by the "United Nations" and any affiliate government organization. Yōshisada are often seen as a cost-effective and flexible alternative to maintaining an imposing figure, allowing their employers to project power and influence without having to invest in a large military infrastructure.

## Overview

The Yōshisada are infamous for their adventures and accomplishments in the World, and thus possess an enigmatic power over those who travel throughout the world, serve the military, or live ordinary lives. They are seen as a chaotic group known for their jaded view of the world, selfish desires, and abuse of military power. This attributes to them being acknowledged as World Council Dogs. The Yōshisada are an organization of individuals who willingly decided to work in service of the World Council. They act as another military force that help maintain the law and order throughout the world. The Yoshisada are often considered by the World Council to be no different from any other malefactors. There are two different divisions; Guardian Saibanshō & Guardian Isolde. Guardian Saibanshō is the division that does not care nor respect the Council or even other members of the Yoshisada. On the other hand, Guardian Isolde tolerates and cooperates with the Council, this group rarely ignores or disrespects the Council and the rest of their higher ups.

## Strength

They as a group are respected for their infamous reputation and strength which they gained before or even after they became a member of the Yōshisada. Majority of this group are composed of seasoned veterans. There is an enormous range in the wanted levels between the members due to differences in circumstances under which they were recruited. However, these are former bounties, and do not represent the current threat they could achieve as active hunters/criminals. The relationship between the Yōshisada members are best described as unstable. They may have years of training and experience in combat, tactical missions, navigating, anticipating enemy movements, and executing complex battle strategies.

Yōshisada do not normally like working with each other, but they're more then capable of having an strong alliance and network of support, allowing them to call upon fellow members, merchants, or even friendly neighboring countries. Yōshisada are depicted as formidable and dangerous opponents, capable of taking on much larger and better-equipped enemy fleets. Their strength lies in their magical supernatural abilities, superhuman abilities, advanced equipment, and their combat skills.

## Relations Between Yōshisada

Guardian Valhalla have very little (if any) respect for each other and will for the most part not accept help from one another, apparently due to a firm sense of pride. The very notion of them working together as a team is entirely unthinkable. Guardian Isolde on the other hand, will work with each other to accomplish the tasks at hand. Most of the members have a jaded attitude of the world, as their vast amounts of experience have disillusioned them. The relationships between the Yōshisada are complex and varied, with each member having their own history and motivations. Some have formed alliances or rivalries with each other, they're all ultimately united by their agreement to serve the United Nations/Myriad.

## Contribution

Yōshisada does not express open defiance to the authority of the World Council, but are not obligated to follow its orders either. Isolde prefers to not disrespect the authority of the council and are typically respected more to society than the likes of Valhalla. Some of the members do various tasks for the World Council, such as conquering new islands for the Council, protecting nations, and protecting civilians, but their ultimate purpose is to keep other hunters and criminals in check. Technically speaking, the Yoshisada are considered allies of the government and in times of war are obligated to collaborate with the World Council. Yoshisada are disliked and despised by many council members, as they at times prefer to show general apathy and even hostility in some cases.

### Maintaining the Balance

The Yōshisada played a crucial role in maintaining the balance of power in the world of Lotus. They act as a counterbalance to the Kotei and other powerful groups, helping to prevent any one group from gaining too much power.

### Intelligence Gathering

Yōshisada are used to gather intelligence for the United Nations, they able to access information that would be difficult or impossible for the Council/Government to obtain, giving the Council a valuable source of information about the world outside of the Government figures.
