Oni Family Names: Araki, Hideyoshi, Ishikawa, Ito, Masuda, Sakurai, Sato, Yamamoto Male Oni Names: Akihiko, Dai, Eiji, Hiro, Isamu, Jun, Katsuo, Kiritoįemale Oni Names: Ai, Asuna, Chie, Eiko, Harumi, Kaoru, Momo, Ren The names that they take on all have meaning in their native tongue, Wuxian, usually relating to positive characteristics the parents wish for their child to take on. They display their family's name before their own, to show their pride that their relatives bring them, as well as to intimidate those who have wronged their family before. Oni are very close to their families, with many believing that all strangers only bring pain and suffering. They also can display traits of their true form, such as their horns or sharp teeth, in this alternate form. To combat this, oni have a natural ability that allows them to shift into a specific alternate counterpart, letting them blend in with other creatures. However, the horns of oni are also one of their most distinct traits, making hiding in societies particularly difficult for most of them. No two oni have horns that are exactly the same, even the closest of relatives will have tiny differences in their horns. Many times, an oni may believe their only companions to be similarly hated creatures, such as orcs, or other oni.Īn oni's greatest symbol of pride are their horns, with each oni having their own unique pair. While some oni attempt to go against this stereotype, they are still hated the same as the rest of their kin, forcing many oni to live an existence of constant running and travel. In many cultures after the fall of the oni, oni have been depicted as creatures of malice and destruction, laying waste to the land and people who surround them. Seeing this, the white oni drove their kin out of the land, with the reputation of all oni being destroyed by their selfish cousins. When the dead had been driven back, the realms separated once more, the red and blue oni took advantage of the gifts of the living, becoming tyrants similarly to those they had stopped. Finally, the white were honorable and just, sparing those whom surrendered, killing only those they had to. The blue were cunning and deceptive, looking for the right moment to assassinate powerful leaders.

The red were fierce and fearsome, tearing the foul spirits into pieces like wild animals. Out of the shadows of death and decay, the oni rose, with three kinds of their kin red, blue, and white. Long ago, the realms of the dead and the realms of the living were close enough to clash day after day, corpses rising moments after they are killed, ghosts possessing the living, and wraiths ruling the land. Tsuyoi Masayoshi, a white oni paladin, writing to his brother, Tsuyoi Kasai, a red oni necromancer Fallen Heroes I will not rest, nor will our fellow white oni kin, until you lay dead in the dirt. Now, I send this letter to you, my brother, as my final act of kindness towards you a warning. Omg period that's what we were back then, in the old days.

I still remember when we were but children, and we thought that your 'evil' red skin meant nothing. Those times have long since past, now, I am afraid.
