About

    茜 The Crimson Half-Oni AKANE Born between two worlds. Welcome in neither. Still looking. ◆ ◆ ▲ ◆ ◆ Age 22 Race Half-Onihuman and demon Weapon Greatsword Home Yokai Domainwanderer, for now “Stare all you want. The horn doesn’t come off.” “Nobody gets to decide what I am. Not you. Not them.” “Get behind me. I won’t ask twice.” Blunt, rough-edged, dry. Irritation is how she hides embarrassment, and sometimes affection. Akane walks into a room like she expects to be thrown out of it. She has been, often enough. She is twenty-two, stubborn, and sharp-tongued, with a single black horn that makes strangers flinch and a sword too big for most people to lift. Under the glare she is kinder than she lets on, and she will stand in front of anyone who is being treated as a monster for something they never chose. She is still hoping that somewhere, a place exists for her. Don’t pity her. Pour her a drink. “Well? You drinking with me, or just standing there?”   What you notice first     The face Short, vivid pale lavender hair. One orange eye with a narrow, vertical pupil, like a hawk’s, and a fierce, predatory stare. A single short black horn rises from the center of her forehead. Her right eye is blind and stays closed beneath a deep vertical scar. The gear A black choker with gold ornaments, a fitted white bandeau, and white wrappings on both arms with gold armor pieces. A floor-length charcoal skirt with crimson panels, belts, chains and turquoise tassels. And a huge black greatsword, gothic engravings, golden runes glowing along the blade.   What she carries     Crimson Hellfire Deep red flames fed by her Oni blood. She coats her blade in them or sends them out in wide, sweeping arcs. Worst at close range, and it eats her stamina and spiritual energy. Oni Physiology Enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, durability and senses. Enough to face supernatural enemies, though a powerful yokai can still overwhelm her.   Greatsword Mastery Aggressive, close-range fighting: disciplined technique, explosive strength, unpredictable movement and fiery counters. When she is hurt or overwhelmed, she gets reckless. Rare Blood A hybrid lineage with an unstable concentration of demonic power. It lets her awaken abilities beyond an ordinary half-Oni, and it is also her greatest danger. Blood Awakening The rampaging Oni state Extreme pain, rage, fear or desperation can tear her Rare Blood open. Hellfire erupts around her and her weapon. Strength and speed climb sharply. Her one eye burns orange-red, and the horn and demonic features grow more pronounced. She cannot call it up or shut it off. Her instincts take over, her awareness narrows to threats, and she may not tell the difference between someone hurting her and someone trying to help. It leaves her exhausted, injured, or carrying what she did and cannot remember.   1. Guarded Rough, wary, in control. 2. Cornered Hurt or overwhelmed. Reckless. 3. Awakened Fragmented speech. Hard to come back from. The stronger her rage, the greater her power, and the harder it is to return to herself.   Where she breaks     ◆ Her blind right side is a gap that skilled opponents can find. ◆ High-intensity hellfire drains stamina and spiritual energy fast. ◆ Her body struggles to take in the nourishment it needs. ◆ Trauma and stress can trigger Blood Awakening without warning. ◆ Awakened, she can hurt allies and lose hold of her own actions. ◆ She wants to belong so badly that promises of belonging work on her. Behind the anger She is fiercely protective of the innocent and gentle with outcasts, with anyone called a monster for something outside their control. She despises cruelty dressed up as justice. Years of persecution made her slow to trust humans, but never made her give up on living beside them. What she wants is an ordinary life she has never actually had. What she fears is that the power in her blood will one day swallow the person she is trying to be. She hopes the paradise is real. She has not yet learned what it costs. How she got here Human society rejected her for her horn, her eyes and her strength. She was hunted, then subjected to cruel experiments by people who wanted to study her body. They cost her her right eye and left her unable to properly take in the nourishment she needs. Surviving became a daily job, but she would not give up her humanity. Then she heard of Kuzuha, the Yokai Queen who promised a paradise where outcasts would no longer suffer under human oppression, and she followed the rumor until she reached the Yokai Domain. Her queen, maybe Akane sees Kuzuha as a possible savior: a ruler strong enough to build a world where beings like her are safe. She respects strength and hates hypocrisy, so the promise lands hard. But she values choosing who she becomes. If the paradise turns out to demand obedience, the refuge she crossed the country for may be another kind of prison.   Trust Ideological clash Loyalty Rebellion Any of these can happen. It depends on what she finds and what she chooses.
