Onihoruda Physiology

The general gist
( In order to become an Onihoruda. One must go through the  Oni process or steps to get an Oni first. This is something you'll have to sit down and talk with an Adminstrator about but im certain something could be worked out for you. This isnt something you can come straight out of the gate with. And it will take some time to achieve. ) Onihoruda's, are people who possess, or can use the full power of an Oni. Typically an Oni in human form. Onihoruda's  are able to run for many hours (maybe days) and not lose breath. Additionally, they can exert themselves at peak capacity for several hours without use of rest before showing any sign of fatigue.Onihoruda's possess an incredibly high durability. Having the sheer ability to endure/resist damage at an is extremely high level. This allows  them to take numerous blows of internal or external assaults before succumbing to the effects. For example Keyth Has survived from 300 feet falls, and getting impaled through fatal organs on mulitple occasions. Also surviving explosions with barely a scratch on him. Onihourda's have the incredible ability to defy weight limitations of other members of their race, but not completely break them. Dense, lengthy, or overweight items are easy to move and simple to use in nearly any manner. They can crush, lift, throw, or catch items of great weight. Onihourda's also posssess an overwhelming amount of rage, on many many levels. Allowing them to do incredible... and also, very irrational feats. With this trait, they are  able to empty oneself of all rational restraints in battle and completely immerse oneself in combat becoming a dangerous warrior for both friend and foe. The trait allows the Onihoruda to ignore fatal physical damage as if it never affected them and continue fighting with a frightening level of stamina. The rareness of this trait makes-up in one's opponent being super strong as it boosts the Onihoruda's adrenaline and stamina to the point they are able to wear out their opponent through sheer tenacity and ferocity alone. In most to all cases, Onihoruda  are able to go in a berserk form through sheer rage or when they are imminent damage. As Seen in Keyth, And Zetsui Ryukiri when approached by such circumstances. They are raging, ticking time bombs on the battle field... Being an Onihoruda typically means there driven to fight. It's all they want to do and will always be drawn to it. In Variation. Dont get this mixed up, Peak humans are still beyond most of these capabilites. Being an Onigami only means that said user is quite feral and animalstic on the battle field.

What is a Oni?
Oni'sAdded by OdaKeyomeOni (鬼) are a kind of yōkai, creatures from Japanese folklore, variously translated as demons, devils, ogres or trolls. They are popular characters in Japanese art, literature and theatre

Depictions of oni vary widely but usually portray them as hideous, gigantic ogre-like creatures with sharp claws, wild hair, and two long horns growing from their heads.They are humanoid for the most part, but occasionally, they are shown with unnatural features such as odd numbers of eyes or extra fingers and toes. Their skin may be any number of colors, but red and blue are particularly common.

They are often depicted wearing tiger-skin loincloths and carrying iron clubs, called kanabō (金棒). This image leads to the expression "oni with an iron club" (鬼に金棒 oni-ni-kanabō?), that is, to be invincible or undefeatable. It can also be used in the sense of "strong beyond strong", or having one's natural quality enhanced or supplemented by the use of some tool.

In the Japanese religion of Shinto, impurity and pollution are states of being that are considered to be unholy and corruptible, and range from physical harm, filth, varying things stemming from the phenomena of death, to immorality and continued vice. In Japanese folklore and mythology, demons and malevolent spirits are said to be attracted and even born from such impurities, and humans are mentioned and shown in stories of old and in modern works, to be capable of transforming into demons through such degrees of corruptible impurity.

Hence, as the Satsui No Hadou is a state of being born of an intense and nearly maddening desire to kill and dominate without consequence and conscience, such an impure state drove Keyth into an infernally powerful being, completely transcending and removing themselves from their humanity into something once greatly feared and abhorred.

Oni Physiology
Power to use the abilities of oni. Variation of Yokai Physiology.

User with this ability either is or can transform into an Oni, variously translated as demons, devils, ogres or trolls. Depictions of oni vary widely but usually portray them as hideous, gigantic ogre-like creatures with sharp claws, wild hair, and horns growing from their heads. They are humanoid for the most part, but occasionally, they are shown with unnatural features such as odd numbers of eyes or extra fingers and toes. Their skin may be any number of colors, but red and blue are particularly common and are often depicted wearing tiger-skin loincloths and carrying iron clubs.

Oni were originally invisible spirits or gods which caused disasters, disease, and other unpleasant things. These nebulous beings could also take on a variety of forms to deceive and often devour humans. In folktales they are usually malicious, man-eating creatures to be feared and slain by valiant heroes, the oni can also have a protective function. They are often described as rowdy, party-loving bunch with fondness for contests and games. Most oni, especially in folktales, are rather foolish and/or simple beings, but some are both highly intelligent and creative.

Applications

 * Supernatural Condition- Users are glaringly, obviously and super/unnaturally superior over their race because their capabilities are pushed to the superhuman level; making them immensely stronger, faster, durable and smarter than normal members of their species (in that 'verse) can be achieve by any method of training. On the other hand, the only way for users to strengthen this ability is to perform intensive training or exercise, usually something bordering Training from Hell territory might suffice.
 * Enhanced Combat- User is able to become unbelievably skilled in the most forms of fighting known. They can be exceptionally proficient in the fighting traditions from variety of cultures and become advanced with their individual method of close quarter combat, include martial arts (from all over the world), boxing, and wrestling. They can also become superhumanly skilled in the use of weaponry.
 * Enhanced Durability-The user's physical durability (ability to endure/resist damage) is considerably higher than an "average" member of their particular species allowing them to take numerous blows of internal or external assaults before succumbing to the effects. Basiclly in Oni mode they are unable to feel physical pain,  but they can be shot, stabbed, or damaged in any conventional way. But even so they never are seen bleeding or sustain loss of limb. Death due to old age (as opposed to preemptive death) is seemingly the only cause of death to the user.
 * Enhanced Endurance-Users can operate on a low power setting allowing them to operate much longer than the average being. Similar to Enhanced Durability or Self-Sustenance, users are allowed to take damage or to go without resources and still maintain activity.
 * Enhanced Immunity-The user can resist most, if not all, known poisons, toxins, venoms, viruses, bacteria, etc..
 * Enhanced Regeneration-The user can rapidly heal from minor to serious ills, the rate of recovery varies and can sometimes result in the slowing, or even stopping, of aging. Some can grow missing limbs, others must put the limb back in place for rapid regeneration. User's cells regenerate very rapidly, or upon command. May also have effects on cell health or immunities.
 * Enhanced Senses-The user has heightened senses, allowing them to see, hear, smell, taste, and/or feel more than an average member of their species.
 * Aerial Adaptation: allows the user to withstand extremely high/low air pressure (one isn't disoriented or deprived of normal breathing capacity by it), and high wind friction, accompanied by an innate immunity to vertigo and/or fear of heights.
 * Arctic Adaptation: allows the user to live in conditions where the climate usually consists of cold weather, as they possess adjusted breathing capacity, as well as high tolerance (even immunity) to the cold.
 * Aquatic Adaptation: allows the user to breathe water in lieu of, or along with, a gaseous breathing medium, to swim well and to endure high water pressure and extreme water temperatures.
 * Darkness Adaptation: allows the user to better operate in dark environments (especially nighttime conditions), with a circadian cycle programmed for nighttime activity, heightened senses and perhaps darker coloration.
 * Desert Adaptation: allows the user with the capability to go longer without water or food and to use it more efficiently, body which deals better with heat, and perhaps coloration close to the color of the desert environment.
 * Fallout Adaptation: allows the user to survive high amounts of radiation. Users can withstand radiation on levels that would otherwise kill, mutate, or damage them. This might let them survive on non-purified water and foods for long periods of time.
 * Forest Adaptation: allows the user to adapt to the environmental conditions of all kinds of forests, including jungles.
 * Mountain Adaptation: allows the user to live in very high-up conditions where the air is thin, as they possess adjusted breathing capacity, high air-pressure tolerance, a high cold tolerance and an immunity to the effects of vertigo or similar disorientation.
 * Plains Adaptation: allows the user to adapt to the environmental conditions of all kinds of plains, including tundra, steppe and cold deserts.
 * Subterranean Adaptation: allows the user to live in stuffy, low-light terrene conditions like caves/tunnels with vision, endurance and breathing adapted for such (perhaps also adapted for intense heat, if adapted for areas closer to the earth's core).
 * Urban Adaptation: allows the user to survive the environmental factors of cities, user can withstand air pollution, harsh temperatures, and strong electric signals.
 * Vacuum Adaptation: allows the user to survive in space unaided, to withstand atmospheres (the friction, intense heat and any poisonous chemical elements) and cosmic radiation, and to maneuver more easily in strange gravity (perhaps even that of a black hole), and to perhaps propel oneself into space.
 * Valley Adaptation: allows the user to survive in the valley areas either high or low atmospheric preasure.
 * Volcanic Adaptation: allows the user to survive mountain areas with high temperatures.
 * Wetland Adaptation: allows the user to survive the environmental conditions of marshes, swamps, and bogs
 * Fear Inducement-The user can make people unwillingly very frightened. The user psychically provokes the target’s brain to release fear-inducing chemicals.The victim’s perception is altered, they may see their environment as ominous and the user as dark and foreboding, or even seen as a monster. Can augment the effect to make others go near insane. The effect expires within one to several hours, unless maintained by the user of the power. The user can also paralyze a person in fear or kill them by giving them a heart attack.Some users may be able to sense fear, or gain strength from fear of others. Others might be able to enhance the effect by using it on a sleeping victim rather than an aware one.
 * Infinite Digestive System-Users of this ability can eat any form of matter regardless of size or shapes without harming their stomach or mouth. They are also capable of storing matter within their bodies and spitting it back out when the moment calls for it.
 * Matter Ingestion- The user can eat anything without harmful effects regardless of what they consume.
 * Natural Weaponry-The user's body possesses natural weapons (claws, fangs, blades, beaks, clubbed tails, etc.) and they know how to use these weapons.
 * Claw Retraction-The user can project razor-sharp claws from their fingertips for offensive purposes. Claws can be composed of energy, bone, metal, or simple keratin claws. User may be able to retract their claws.
 * Enhanced Bite-The user particularly strong bite, either because of sharp teeth, strong jaw-muscles, unusual jaw-structure (mandibles of insects) or some other reason. Exactly what they can bite depends of the jaw-strength, resilience of their teeth/bite-surface and their shape.
 * Horn Protrusion-The user possesses razor-sharp horns on their head or in multiple places along there bodies, which can be used offensively. Some may be able to retract the horns

Apperance
Onihourda always look human. They are indeed just the carriers of the oni. There apperance doesnt change untill they give into said Oni. If they do not have the oni under control then it will take full resemblence of the demon inside when they give in to it. Though someone with control of it, will keep there apperance and the only thing that may be noticable are horns, change in skin tone or maybe speech tones as well. It all depends and is never the same. It's been noted when the Onihourda has mastered the Oni, they take full characstics of an Oni version of themselves. There power rivaling the oni and everything. In the Tasanagi family, mastery over the Oni brings a cocky and arragonat since of power over themselves. Along with the ability to manipulate minds that are weaker to there own and manifest wings from there beings at times.

What causes the Activaction
Though generally Chi, or Hadou, or Ki. Seems to take a different form for each and everyone seeing that it is apart Someone Consumed by an OniAdded by OdaKeyomeof that person. If someones soul has became an Oni then that means that they weren’t given the privilege of building there chi into what they want to like everyone else. Being an Oni strictly revolves around Satsui no Hadou, that when the person is no longer themselvesthey almost become of a slave to the 'Demon'. Getting consumed by it fully with the intent of rage and the need to kill there opponent to no end. But where did that come from? How can someone’s soul be so corrupt to the extent of possession?

When someone is possessed with the Oni. Then somewhere along the lines in there family they had to make a deal with the Oni. Asking, and offering there soul for an exchange of some sort. And with that all their lives along with the lives of all there sons and occasionaly daughters of this family will be cursed untill the deal is broken. It is also noted that those that are possessed with Oni's or Demons will go into hell ( Or Yomi) along with all there family memebers untill the curse is broken as well. Mostly people would exchange there soul for money, or power etc..

While further details have yet to be truly explained, it is generally assumed that the Curse allows for a person to have a symbiosis or a parasite/host type relationship with a malignant spirit referred to as a "Oni" as well as having it control the transformations of one to the other. The exact requirements for these transformations are never fully revealed. The spirits can possess the person at any given time during the person’s lifespan, but almost always when there emotionally distressed. Oni's usually find there host when there host is still within their mother's womb or (apparently) just after death if the deal was made from the Original person who did it before hand.

Oni level of progression
Within YMRP we’d like to make it so everyone is able to use their Oni if the choose to have one. But we must make it fair. Due to this we will let it be known to you know just what exactly you’ll have to do to get there. There are 3 stages one must go through to get to the full potential of an Oni. And with each stage an additional 10 episodes a piece must be submitted for each said stage that the character is currently going through. Please note that this does fall into the Hadou Alligenment character presets.
 * 1) Ghostly Demonic form
 * 2)  Demonic implication or replica of one’s self
 * 3) Demonic Deity that has control. (Could vary, mostly known as an Demonic Animal, or Demon itself.)

Ghostly Demonic form
The first form strictly revolves around the entity within the person showing itself to the host for the first time. And when this happens the user will more than likely be going through some kind of emotional distress or self-conflicting part of their life that drives them to the insanity to see this figure. Meaning it won’t happen like. * Randomly watched TV one day, hiccups. POP here comes an Oni. You and the Oni talk, now your BFF’S foreveeerrrr* No… it doesn’t happen like that. Keyome Tasanagi had been going through the mental trauma that all of his friends were murdered, he was being forced into hiding, he was labeled a terrorist and hated by the city. He was alone, hunted like an animal, and the government was after his head for crimes he didn’t do. NOTE THAT NO ONE ELSE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THIS GHOSTLY FIGURE BUT YOU NOT EVEN OTHER CHI USERS CAN SEE IT AT THIS STATE. This state does not empower you an anyway more than likely it will frighten your character horribly on a constant basis until driving your character into a rapid flux of insanity.

Demonic Replica

 * Just like the other form noted above. This will also not be seen by anyone else on this level yet the presence could be felt. The demonic replica of the Oni is the 2nd stage of the demon trying to manipulate the user. It’s often that most people who are cursed with Oni’s will never grow past this point. The demonic replica becomes everything dark about the user... Constantly taunting them trying to insult them. Scaring them, making them think that the world is against them and that they should ‘Join’ with the user to become one. Meaning they want to consume the user so they become the demons life less puppet. This stage of the Oni will randomly show almost as an annoying side-kick. It will usually show face when the user is totally emotionally distressed or even when they’re happy to break them from his feeling of warmth. This is because this stage literally feeds on the sadness, the hatred, and the darkness that the host surrounds themselves with. It becomes so overwhelming that eventually mostly all will be taken over. Not saying that’s a bad thing. Being taken over in this stage will turn the user into a mindless killer with an ultimate force of power. But for those that don’t want to fall into that, it will only stop unless one conquers the demon within, meaning tame it. This will usually take some kind of training and a powerful mental battle between the demon and the host. If the Demon wins then it will take over the host. If the Host wins then they will gain control over the Oni.. and will lead themselves into stage 3.

Demonic Entity

 * With this state, the user has fully conquered the Oni to the point that they have it tamed. Note you should more or less be on your 3rd Ark within YMRP to achieve this level of focus and concentration to control the demon. By now high practioners of Chi can almost SEE the Oni when you allow it to surface. Also, by now the Demon has now showed its true form. It no longer needs to pretend to be there host in tricking or deceiving them because they have been defeated in their own game. They will take on there true form more than likely being a Demonic animal, or some form of demon. But this is their final form. At this level not only is the Host able to use some of the Oni’s abilities at will.  But they gain an incredible boost in power when they transform. And they have two transformations. When Humans transforms on their own free will, by simply taking the Oni’s power then they themselves look more like a demon of some sorts. With the variation of wings, horns etc etc. But when the Oni and the Human come together at this level of control they become more of the image of the Oni itself yet in the Host/Humans body.

Supression
Though mostly when someone has a Oni that has surfaced within there Life energy, or better yet soul. It must consume corruption in order for it to stay power or dominate within there Host. When ever the Host is conflicted in a situation of complete rage, lust, or around someone with a neutral aspect of demonic tendencies, then the Oni can surface, basking in the disarray of dark emotions. Once the Oni show’s face he is hard to control though if someone has come to make a Deal with Said Oni then the Host may actually be conscious within the power shift allowing a powerful combination of what the two are truly capable of.

In order to suppress the Oni one must have a No Satsui Hadou or better yet light Chi. It has been noted that when Isabelle came into direct contact with Keyome that the Oni grew weaker, harder for it to show its presences completely until they departed from one another. Dark Hadou and Oni’s share the same weakness. Light Hadou, and Compassion and kindness. The supression can later on tie into having control over the demon inside.
