Savage Wave

Most Onisho will use a variety of weapons in their desire to grow, kill and exalt themselves into full Oni status. Yasei has used weapons but is one of the most proficient unarmed Onisho seen in decades. He seems to instinctively know how to bend, twist and break opponents in increasingly creative ways.

There is little known about the Bakemono and even less understood. That they are different from one another is at best a guess, but after years of conflict against them, the Minimoto tells us of one type - so far - that defies any description of any kind. It would ring hollow had it not been reported by so many. It seems that when in the act of dying, the Yami’mure vomits forth an egg or capsule of some sort that immediately opens to reveal twin Bakemono that are at once ready to fight.

Bakemono bodyguards are notoriously tricky and untrustworthy, not so Ook. Ook is a Guardian of the Shadow Council, and having forfeited his will and soul to them, acts as their vessel, now ever loyal to the Bakemono’s twilight cause. Using his diminutive stature to get to where he needs to be, Ook can position himself to protect his charges best, no matter where they are. Not even in death does Ook’s duty end, as the Shadow Council and their heralds can bring him back to fight on their behalf even after his body lies cooling on the floor.
