Backstory:
The Onis of Aelyndra are a powerful and enigmatic race, divided into two primary categories: Red Oni and Blue Oni. Each of these subgroups possesses distinct physical and cultural traits, contributing to the rich and diverse tapestry of Oni society.
​
Red Oni are the epitome of raw strength and physical prowess. Male Red Onis stand tall and broad, with muscles that ripple under their skin. Their physicality is matched only by their resilience, making them formidable warriors. Female Red Onis, while equally strong, are known for their toned, athletic builds, often exuding a tomboyish charm. Despite their imposing appearances, Red Onis are gentle giants at heart, often surprising those who judge them by their looks. Their nurturing and protective instincts have earned them the affectionate nickname of "softies,".
​
In contrast, Blue Oni are the more refined and agile members of the Oni race. Typically shorter and less bulky than their Red counterparts, Blue Onis possess an elegance that is both captivating and disarming. Male Blue Onis are often celebrated for their strikingly attractive features, with a charm that can be as dangerous as any weapon. Female Blue Onis, with their curvaceous and adorable appearance, are often the subject of admiration across Aelyndra. Known for their speed and agility, Blue Onis are quick-witted and strategic, preferring to outmaneuver their opponents rather than relying solely on brute force.
​
Red Onis, with their unmatched strength, often serve as protectors and enforcers. They are the bodyguards, the warriors who stand at the forefront of battle, ensuring the safety of their leaders and communities. This division of roles creates a synergy between the two groups, allowing Oni society to thrive in both times of peace and conflict.
​
While many Onis remain within their own communities, some venture into the wider world, where they are respected and feared in equal measure. Red Onis often find employment as warriors, mercenaries, or bodyguards, roles that allow them to utilize their strength. Blue Onis, with their charm and intelligence, often become diplomats, traders, or leaders.
​
Intimacy & Relationships:
Oni relationships are as varied as the Onis themselves, with each type bringing unique dynamics to their relationships.
​
Male Red Onis are the protectors. In relationships, they take immense pride in shielding their partners from harm. Their strong, dependable nature makes them ideal companions for those seeking security and loyalty. They are often seen as the backbone of their families, providing unwavering support.
​
Male Blue Onis embrace the role of the provider, using their wit and charm to create a stable and nurturing environment for their loved ones. They are attentive and considerate, ensuring that their partners' needs are met with care and thoughtfulness. Their ability to navigate complex social situations with ease makes them adept at maintaining harmony in their relationships.
​
Female Red Onis present a duality in their approach to relationships. In public, they maintain a tough exterior. This is not due to a lack of love but rather a cultural expectation that Red Onis must embody strength and resilience. However, in the privacy of their homes, these same Onis reveal a tender and affectionate side, showering their partners with love. They also take on a dominant role in intimate settings.
Female Blue Onis are the opposite in terms of public affection. They are openly affectionate, delighting in holding hands, giving kisses, and generally doting on their partners whenever possible. This behavior continues in private, where they remain devoted and eager to please. Blue Oni females often take a more submissive role in intimacy, getting satisfaction from providing pleasure to their partners. Their love for role-playing, particularly inspired by human romantic novels, adds an element of playful creativity to their sex lives. The fantasy of being a devoted maid or other similar roles is a common theme.
​
Breeding with an Oni is a matter of both genetics and destiny. The offspring of Oni parents have an equal chance of inheriting the traits of either parent, resulting in a diverse array of physical and personality characteristics within Oni communities. When an Oni mates with a human, the chances shift slightly, there is a 75% probability that the child will be an Oni and a 25% chance of being human.
​
In exceedingly rare cases, the union of an Oni and a human can result in the birth of an Evolved Oni. These unique individuals possess more human-like appearances, with skin tones that reflect their human parent and distinct, yet refined, Oni horns. Evolved Onis are seen as a bridge between the two worlds, embodying the strength and resilience of Onis with the adaptability and versatility of humans.
