- Huang Zhiyan
The Huang-Ahn Cooperative (Chinese: 黄-安 合作社 Huáng-Ān Hézuòshè, Korean: 황-안 협동 조합 Hwang-Ahn Hyeobdong Johab), also known colloquially as the Taekwondoctors for their choice of martial arts, is a Chinese-Korean Noble Family from Amenria responsible for the nation's healthcare sector.
The Huang-Ahn often find common ground with the Gan Brotherhood for their pursuit of science, as well as their perfectionism and shared idea of craftmanship and the Ramadhan Family for their attitude on aesthetics and genetics. Due to the fact that their clients often end up becoming celebrities, it also maintains a cordial, but mostly professional relationship with the Kirigakure Network, as their clients' appearances on screens act as advertisements on the quality of the work the Cooperative has done to beautify them.
With 23 seats in the Imperial Council, the Cooperative is tied with the Ministry of Religion, which they are ambivalent to, as the family with the second most seats, after the Ramadhan Family. Its main territory is the Korean peninsula, with outside lands being on middle to high income urban and suburban areas throughout the country. The Cooperative is known for eschewing the use of streetlights in its territories, instead planting genetically engineered bioluminescent trees for lighting.
Overview
The Huang-Ahn believe that sentients should no longer allow nature to dictate how they evolve. Instead, they should take control of their own evolution, in whatever way they please. To this end, they have asd. In their eyes, their duty is not only to cure, but to improve quality of life and make such improvements as widely available as possible.
Although garnering the stereotype of socially awkward and emotionally distant mad scientists among some of the populace, few can deny the benefits they have offered to the common man, from bioluminescent plants helpful for saving power and genetically engineered crops abundant in both taste and nutrition, to sanitation microbes and cheap, but effective over-the-counter medication. The Cooperative is so skillful that even those wary of these "crazy mutant makers" would take their injuries and illnesses to reputable Huang-Ahn physicians.
Ironically, despite their rivalry with the Poornachandra Pack they share an affinity for the solarpunk style, albeit having different interpretations thereof, with many buildings in Huang-Ahn territory being white, with rounded shapes and their signature plants growing in, on, near, or around them. Huang-Ahn lands are dotted with pristine marble plazas and littered with planters showcasing their bizarre botanical creations, as well as uniquely shaped public pools where their subjects can not only enjoy a cool, refreshing swim in the summer or a warm, relaxing dip in the winter, but also flaunt their hard-earned (or expensively purchased) appearances.
History
The Cooperative was founded as the Huang-Ahn Company by Huang Yuhan and Ahn Yuji in 2022. The couple worked as researchers for a prestigious Chinese firm, where they first met and shared their thoughts on eugenics and genetic engineering. Following the prosecution of He Jiankui in 2019, they decided to continue their research on genetics in Korea, where had more freedom to do so. They got married in 2021.
