Instead, the Rengoku engages under the ideal of complete monopoly over the private warfare arena. With a number of profitable subsidiaries, the organization was founded to be a stand-alone organization, still privately owned and privately funded. Without investors, the board is remarkably controlled by the CEO, who also happens to be the organization's president. This leaves the organization impregnable from any outside investors, or would be buyers. With that being said, The Rengoku Organizations various subsidiaries are based around the continent, although many are simply dummy corporations in an attempt to hide many of the real, underhanded dealings that the organization partakes in. As a conglomerate, The Rengoku Organization does many things, however what it is most known for is its involvement in military training, event production and private contracting. While no where near as prominent as any samurai or ninja force, soldiers who have contracted with The Rengoku Organization have gone through intense training programs to make them at least on par with most military organizations throughout the continent. While there has been a steady decline in contract number and signings due to Rengoku's rapid decrease in quarterly profits, there are still some loyal contracts left, who are used accordingly. Aside from the green-collar work that the Rengoku engages in, there are also the subsidiaries that engage in blue and white collar work as well: In total, there are five subsidiary corporations: Rengoku International - The Rengoku Organizations original subsidiary, it is the only group to not immediately be considered a hoax from skeptical media outlets. Originally made to serve as a privately owned medical research facility in favor of Kaminari no Kuni, it would quickly span outward, setting up offices in various parts of the continent, and expanding its product to serve whomever might be willing to purchase the product. While not a premier or household brand in the medical sciences world, it is nonetheless familiar to those in the medical field, especially in Kaminari no Kuni, having become a 'hometown brand' to many. It would only be later that it would catch flak as a dummy corporation, being merely a front to hide Rengoku's plot to brainwash troubled youth. While nothing has been proven, Rengoku's lack of prowess in the medical sciences field has made the accusations nearly irrelevant, unworthy of investigation. Rengoku Business Order - The most recent subsidiary of The Rengoku Organization, the RBO is already a growing giant in the financial services field. Considered a micro-finance firm, the RBO has helped many small-time businesses flourish with their investments, giving them, and The Rengoku Organization access to many interesting and often times experimental product. While no where near as investigated as The Rengoku Organizations other subsidiaries, it has left many curious both of their intentions and their limit. With few micro-finance firms, it is clear that they are seeking an international monopoly in the field. Rengoku Banking - A run of the mill banking firm. Being the most affected subsidiary from media attacks, it is unsure if Rengoku Banking will last much longer. Making very little profit for the conglomerate, it is on its last legs. However, there have been rumors of a power play in the financial world, giving Rengoku product fandom something to look forward to in the banking world. It is assumed however, that if Rengoku Banking were to flourish on the same level that the RBO has, the financial world would be completely dominated by the Rengoku Organization... which is a daunting idea indeed. Rengoku Sciences and Technologies - The sister company of Rengoku International, RST is the applied engineering spin-off of the medical sciences company. Most known for their demolition designs, Rengoku has ample wholesale accounts, though has been known to have few retail locations in which people can purchase things such as trackers and binoculars. Much like its sister, RST is not a premier brand, and have been known to show many flaws as compared to their competitors, this has lead to many considering the company to be another dummy group, simply fed money in an attempt to hide the construction of something much more sinister. This has yet to be proven, however. The Rengoku Group - An essential group formed directly after Rengoku International. Serving as the Rengoku Organiztion's non-profit sector, it has been known to aid the rights of green-collar workers. Supporting many samurai and mercenaries in both protection of rights and offering slight financial assistance (shelters, food deliveries etc.), it has yet to branch into the shinobi market, partially because of a lack of interaction between the Organization and the hidden villages. It has been rumored however that dealings have been made with smaller villages, in an attempt to break that barrier.

However, allotting certain restraints to their publicity, as a marketable organization, it goes without saying that the media has access to the bare minimum of what the organization partakes in. This opens the door for an extra-ordinary amount of flak. Whether it be human rights organizations attempting to exploit their extra-ordinary training programs, or various governments and Daimyos attempting to oust the company in favor of samurai factions and ninja villages. As a financial entity, this makes The Rengoku Organization[/style] [style=color: #000000; font-size: 24px; font-family: open sans condensed; margin: -25px; text-indent: 30px; letter-spacing: -2px;]plot[/style] [style=background-color: #efefef; font-size:10px; line-height: 12px; color: #333333; text-align: justify; padding: 10px; font-family: verdana;]An older conglomerate, the Rengoku Organization is completely driven by financial hunger. While appearing to be a decently powerful financial power, it is in fact much less wealthy. Paying nearly every worker as little as they can afford, it has lead to a steady deterioration in quality of their product. The main reason behind this is due to the waning health of the Organization's CEO and President: Honda Warui. Reaching nearly 112, the once powerful man has become desperate in an attempt to find an attempt to prolong his life. Having heard of the 'magic' of the shinobi world, he has invested most of his money, and the company's money into infiltrating the hidden villages in an attempt to find the key to his survival. With select agents having become official ninja of certain hidden villages, he has turned them into sleeper cells, under the guise of complete loyalty to their village. In some cases, specifically within Kumogakure, there is one agent which has infiltrated the village to the point of brainwashing children with no previous affiliation to The Rengoku Organization. It is unclear how long this will last, or the outcome of ever being discovered.[/style] [style=color: #000000; font-size: 24px; font-family: open sans condensed; margin: -25px; text-indent: 30px; letter-spacing: -2px;]other[/style] [style=background-color: #efefef; font-size:10px; line-height: 12px; color: #333333; text-align: justify; padding: 10px; font-family: verdana;]I would like to start the Rengoku Organization at 0%, and slowly build it from the ground up through various RP and plot devices. With the leader in search of a life-sustaining Kinjutsu [perhaps Kishou Tensei], it also requires financial plot devices to continue funding the search. I essentially want to make the Rengoku an available option for all characters, in order to serve as an interesting addition to the plot of NRP, and as a way to make money. This will however make all willing employees of the organization double agents [if part of a village], and all non-willing employees of the organization brainwashed sleeper cells. I would love feedback and ideas to make this happen.[/style] |
