Ryūnosu
Structure
The Ryūnosu, like most organized crime syndicates, have a hierarchy. From highest to lowest, the hierarchy titles are:
- Oyabun: These members are considered to be at the very top. Seen as a ruling family of sorts, members of the Oyabun call all the major shots and are generally the wealthiest
- Saiko-Komon: These members make up the administration branch of the organization. They collect data, records, names, and all other pieces of information that is deemed necessary.
- Kyodai: The kyodai are the leaders of individual teams and groups within Ryunosu. A few kyodai overlook and direct their team of shatei.
- Koroshi-ya: A side-branch of the family, members of the koroshi-ya are the family hitmen and assassins. Whether there is a rogue member or a dangerous enemy that can threaten the family, the koroshi-ya are the ones dispatched to go deal with them. These members may bring along several members from the shatei rank under a kyodai's permission.
- Shatei: The lowest-ranking members of the organization, the shatei simply do whatever their kyodai instruct them to do. Some shatei that have proven themselves worthy are able to ascend up the ladder while those that have committed transgressions towards the family may be subjected to punishments of varying degrees.
Culture
The Ryūnosu have a very "family-first" culture within them. All members in equal ranks refer to each other as brothers and, as such, also learn to look after one another. Members are also told to remain as normal looking as possible when out in public, as drawing needless attention can potentially put the family at risk for persecution. Whatever missions and actions done are usually related to helping the family as a whole, one way or another.
Assets
Ryūnosu's inventory of money, weapons, and members are always in steady supply. Many of these assets are collected in ways that can be deemed as legally gray or straight-up illegal in some circumstances. One particular asset is highly coveted both by the merchants of Ryūnosu and by their clients. That asset being opium. Opium has always been a hot commodity and the Ryūnosu is always trying to acquire more to sell.

Low Opinion
Ever since the 5th Holy Grail War threw GC and Ryunosu against each other, their originally peaceful relations have never been the same. While they aren't actively hostile towards eachother, the 5th Holy Grail War left too many casualties for eithers' comfort. Members are disuaded from working with the other group.
