Ren

No one knows exactly how large the gang truly is. Rumors place its membership anywhere from a few hundred to well over a thousand, spread throughout the city in smaller groups. Despite its size, the organization runs with surprising efficiency, earning a reputation as one of the most powerful criminal syndicates around.

At the top sits the mysterious leader known only as Zen. Whether it's his real name or simply an alias is unknown. Even the Division Leaders have never heard anyone call him anything else. Zen rarely appears in person, instead communicating through trusted messengers, encrypted phones, or brief meetings. His face is known, but his past remains a mystery, and no one dares ask questions.

The gang is divided into specialized divisions, each led by someone handpicked by Zen.

Deal Division — Led by Ren Kurogane. Responsible for negotiations, business transactions, and maintaining relationships with clients and other organizations. Ren's relaxed, playful personality often hides just how dangerous he is. Most deals end peacefully simply because everyone knows what happens if they don't.

Drug Division — Led by Daichi Arata. Oversees production, transportation, storage, and distribution of narcotics. Every shipment is carefully tracked, making this one of the organization's most profitable divisions.

Weapons Division — Led by Kaito Ryujin. Supplies firearms, ammunition, blades, explosives, and specialized equipment. They also maintain and modify weapons for members who require them.

Combat Division — Led by Akihiko Soren. Responsible for training recruits, protecting territory, enforcing the gang's authority, and responding whenever violence becomes unavoidable. While every member is expected to know how to fight, this division consists of the organization's strongest combatants.

Many members belong to multiple divisions depending on their skills. Someone in the Deal Division may also serve in Combat, while a Weapons member might assist with

transportation or security. Specialization is encouraged, but versatility is valued.

Because of the gang's enormous size, there is no permanent headquarters. Instead, each division operates from multiple rotating hideouts scattered throughout the city. Safehouses change regularly to avoid detection, and only members with the proper clearance know every location.

Arguments between members are common. Rivalries, insults, and disagreements happen almost daily. However, one rule is absolute:

No member raises a weapon against another.

Internal conflict is tolerated. Betrayal is not.

Anyone who intentionally endangers the organization or turns against another member faces judgment directly from Zen himself—a fate few have witnessed, but everyone fears.

Within the underworld, the gang's name carries enough weight that most conflicts are settled before a single punch is thrown. Respect isn't requested.

It's expected.
