Kishin Blood

Half-Oni

It is said that a Half-Oni is born from an Oni and humanoid who fall in love . Half-Oni possess half the capabilities of a full Oni, and yet that alone is enough to cause distress. A Half-Oni with no control over their powers invites all sorts of calamities, bad
news, and eventually destroys those around
them without even meaning to. Half-Oni
also bear the instincts that an Oni would, and
might not be able to stop or manage those
impulses, such as being challenged or looked
down upon.

Personality

Half-Oni generally have a great love of music
and alcohol. They have been known to go out of
their way just to find a good drink, and heavens
help the poor bastard that disrupts their music.
The more wild Half-Oni tend to enjoy fighting,
while calmer ones are oft found smoking or
writing poetry.

Reluctantly Accepted

Much like their Yokai parentage, Half-Oni are
generally feared and shunned by society unless
they've proven themselves worthy of trust. This
reputation is not without reason however, as
many Half-Oni that have given into their dark
natures have been known to eat other humanoids.
Being in a party with a person you believe may
eat you can certainly be unsettling.

Appearance

Since these half breeds have mixed blood, they
retain the appearance of both their humanoid
and Oni parent. Some are seen having a single
horn or multiple horns; some have been said to
have fang-like tusks, sharp teeth, and/or
extremely wild hair. Their mixed heritage makes
it so they never truly look like a member of their
non-Oni parent's race. Their skin color tends to vary depending on what subrace their Oni parentage was,
though they are occasionally found sharing the skintones of their non-Oni parent.

Half Oni Names

A Half-Oni's name usually comes from their non-Oni parent, as the Oni doesn't normally stay around. On the rare occasion they are named by their Oni parent, the name usually embodies a virtue or ideal the Oni believes to be important.
