Identity & lore

Lineage overview

Their magical power is focused toward power and male Oni are generally large, strong, and sometimes brutish. Contrarily, female Oni are often very beautiful, by human standards. However, an Oni's appearance has little in common with their physical strength and despite their appearance, Oni are often calm and introspective. Oni are sometimes mistaken for Demons due to their horns. Most Oni also enjoy alcohol, which makes even the calmest incredibly rowdy. They tend to have incredibly powerful Ki, and even without training they tend to be able to affect the Ki of others.
