Ryujin Kai (龍神会)

**RK** is an organized crime group operating under the guise of a corporate company 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.

While a lot of the business run by the organization is not so 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 2023, has a line up of ***5 generations,*** including the ***Founding Members*** it sums up to a total of ***66 members*** all together.

## Origin

**Ryujin Kai (龍神会)** (**RK**) formerly knowned as "**14K**"was formed in February 25th, 2021 by the BIGBOSS. The name 14K was collectively decided on for no reason after all 14 members could not decide on a name and replied with "K" until year 2023, The organization formally changed into **Ryujin Kai (龍神会)**

## Events

The first branch was founded by the **BIGBOSS** and his founding members but faced with a lot difficulties at that time due to a variety of factors such as inexperience 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.

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 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.

## 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.

Unlike most crime groups, The organization has bigger goals and always keeps their members in check if they don't follow the standard operating procedures of the organization. The group also provides training in procedures, CQB, tactics, Sentry work and etc.. to grow their members into efficient and effective units in their respected field of focus.
