Yuzhao



The Yuzhao are a secret organization led by the Overseer Yurie, whose goal is to overthrow the Sentinels of Humanity and bring peace between humans and demons. Its members consist of both demons and humans who wish to live peacefully together.

History
The origins of the organization trace back to the Sentinels' rise to power. Yurie and her fellow demons came together to form a secret group which would amass members in the hopes of overthrowing the Sentinels. In the beginning, very few joined their cause, in fact demons and humans alike scorned the members. Over the centuries, however, more demons came to them for their protection and eventually began to believe in their goal. Some humans as well came around to believing in their strength and the hope they held for the future.

Over a century ago, the last of the founders was slain, leaving Yurie to man the operation alone. She persevered regardless, continuing to persuade both demons and humans alike to join her cause. As a result, she now has eyes and ears all over the country, including within the Sentinels themselves. Her eventual goal remains the same and she continues to welcome new members into the organization regardless of their origins.

Structure
The only way to join is by being welcomed by the Overseer personally. This requires being scouted out by one of the two Wardens and being granted an audience with her. This generally happens when an individual becomes of interest to the organization and would be considered a great asset. It is very rare for the Overseer to appear to anyone in person to welcome them into the Yuzhao.

Once an individual is welcomed in, they are generally partnered up with another member, usually one with more seniority. This is to both assure they learn the ropes and also puts them under watch to assess their abilities and whether or not they can be trusted. After a new member has proven themselves as a useful asset to the Overseer, they are allowed to request solo missions or a change in partnership. However, the general rule is that partners are considered a single unit and will always act as one until the death of either or both operatives.

The general structure of the Yuzhao means that all members are on equal footing. The only merit each member has is their strength, both in body and mind, and their ability to carry out their mission towards the organization's eventual end goal.

Wardens
There are two operatives Yurie trusts above all others and who she has chosen to carry out the task of recruiting further operatives. These are the Wardens, the Fox Warden and the Devil Warden, named for and identified by the masks they wear. They travel throughout the country, appearing before anyone of interest to begin their initiation into the organization.

Regarding their strength, each Warden is equal in power to a Major. Together, they have the strength to take on multiple Majors, a feat few other demons are able to achieve. They have been entrusted with continuing on as Yuzhao's Overseers in the event Yurie is incapacitated or slain.
