Oni

The fiercely competitive Oni love to fight and to hunt, but most of all they like to drink. Oni are famously able to find any excuse to throw a party, and live in large tribes made up of extended families who spend their time feasting, brewing their infamously strong sake and doing anything they can to prove their strength.

Oni Features

Appearance: There are two types of Oni: red and blue. They have different coloured skin, but vary little in every other way. Most have white or pale grey hair, but dark haired Oni do exist. They all also have either one or two usually straight horns protruding from their upper forehead. These can be symmetrical or asymmetric. Their most striking feature is a naturally lean, muscular body, which they often like to show off by wearing fairly revealing clothing. Every Oni usually carries with them a gourd filled with their signature potent sake and a special kind of studded metal bat, every one of which which is unique to the individual who wields it.   Ability score increase.
