The Shinsengumi

Background
Following the Japanese Emperor's elevated power and a need to militarized Japan against the growing threat in the region. A new special law enforcement group was needed as the standing police were ill trained and equipped to deal with high level threats to the nation. Taking inspiration from Japan's past, as was the trend at the time, The Shinsengumi was to be formed. The Imperial Government recruited men that studied the war of the sword from all over the nation and trained them in the ways of law enforcement and firearms.

Today, the Shinsengumi is highly renown for their abilities and is feared by criminals everywhere. They are highly successful in taking our high level criminal organizations that traditional police could not handle without costly loses. However, leaving out their ability to deal with criminals, keeping the peace is something the seem to lack in ability. When the group is not dealing with criminals and doing the more menial task of law enforcement, they have a reputation of not knowing the meaning of restraint and often cause chaos. The area around their headquarters is known for it's outrageous shenanigans and attract a very... unique sort of crowd. Shenanigans aside, the Shinsengumi are a professional and highly adept police force.
