The Roughnecks of the Rōshigumi represent a colorful assortment of rogues, smugglers, former security officers and bounty hunters for hire.
Inspired by the ancient Bakufu founded police squad of the 19th century.
A Phantom Foundation Org!
We do not view the Shinsengumi of history as a murder squad. They were an assortment of skilled tacticians from a variety of disciplines that assembled to uphold a code. Today we are privateers that serve as protectors or executioners.

The Shinsengumi never had a set of rules per say, but instead a set of regulations that all members were asked to accept. These regulations (Kyokuchu Hatto) were originally established to purge Serizawa’s Mito group historically. Today we still value the original Shinsengumi manifesto, and all members swear to abide by it to retain the strength of the corp’s union..
-Anybody who breaks the rules will be ordered to commit seppuku.

“There is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker, or smarter. Everything is within. Everything exists. Seek nothing outside of yourself.”
“Do not sleep under a roof. Carry no money or food. Go alone to places frightening to the common brand of men. Become a criminal of purpose. Be put in jail, and extricate yourself by your own wisdom.”
“Today is victory over yourself of yesterday; tomorrow is your victory over lesser men.”
