Several months ago, I became aware of the reward scheme that Uzaki Enterprises uses in order to encourage its members to interact with each other / generally be active in exchange for small sums of Ryo that seem to be stored as a legacy of the old money system from way back when.
Given that my character's primary motivation is to resurrect the Kido Corps, I very much wanted to instate a similar system because investing his own Ryo into his squad is 200% something he would do. However, back when I first asked (a couple of months before the item overhaul happened) I was told that UE's situation was unique and a legacy artifact of the old system and other organisations couldn't do the same thing.
Since that time, we've had the item overhaul and efforts have been made to give Ryo more appeal and so I wanted to revisit the idea, especially since Ranth is on the cusp of applying for Captaincy of the Kido Corps.
To that end, the meat of the suggestion is as follows:
Each organisation from individual Gotei Squads to Espada Fraccions and everything else in between can have their leaders (Captain / Vice Captain and equivalent) invest Ryo they obtain into a squad bank. This squad bank would have no limit, unlike a person's personal funds, but that money can only be used for Two things:
In order to prevent abuse, leaders cannot rewards themselves with these funds nor can they access the funds for any other reason than to cover medical bills. This squad bank could be contributed to by members if they wanted to for CD purposes, but ultimately the funds would be provided by the leadership both in the form of out of pocket donations or any excess Ryo that would ordinarily exceed their personal limit and thus go to waste.
My goal with this is twofold. First, I like the concept behind what UE does and the philospphy of cooperation and information sharing that it promotes among its members and second, it would provide some small use for excess Ryo that would otherwise be lost to the void.
In terms of the specific rewards given out in exchange for proven activity, we could either attach a set reward to a specific outcome (e.g. PvP's reward X Ryo, Adventures rewards Y Ryo etc) or allow it to be discretionary so that a particularly outstanding contribution (e.g. killing/ capturing an Espada, staving off an invasion etc) could be given a larger payout
This idea could be expanded in future to provide additional benefits/ uses for the accumulated funds, but for now I'm simply aiming for a way to add a little bit more meaning to organisations beyond the ranks they give you.

- Paying for squad members medical care (not that I've ever seen a single case of someone paying to recover from injuries in the entire time that I've been here)
- Paying out rewards for completed missions / submitting reports (exactly like what UE does)
