Oni (God and Devil)

*"Nothing in this Omniverse is promised, except for life and death, and though they are opposite, they actually go hand-in-hand. They can both drive you to do some very horrific things, or some very incredibly things. You get to decide which one you want to be."* -Oni God to Phil.

**Oni, The Slaying Hand**, is a primordial who is considered the 3rd best hand-to-hand combatant in existence. He appears as either Oni-God or Oni-Devil, both with their own unique personalities and desires.

## History

Oni was created as a result of the Orb of Obliteration being fused with the Infinity Engine and the Database. The mindset of the Database is Oni-God while the mindset of the Infinity Engine is Oni-Devil, with the Orb of Obliteration being infused within both of them. For a while, Oni's way of life consisted of killing many people and he was incredibly content with this lifestyle. He was a member of the Chaos pantheon so it felt only right for him to do so, After a while though of the same thoughtless bloodshed, Oni became fed up with and his mind became tired of it. He wanted to eventually just settle down and live a normal life away from killing. He told his fellow Pantheon members this and they all wished him the best on his journey. Chaos thought the effort was worthless as he could never live a normal life with his background and powers, especially with Oni-Devil inside. Chaos though did let him do so, knowing that he eventually came back. Oni, after a while, found a beautiful city called Neruzavim where he settled down and began to live a very fulfilling life. Oni met a kid who was orphaned at birth who attended a local school, named Phil. Phil was bright and was a good looking kid, but he possessed supernatural abilities that no other kid his age had. Oni felt it was only right to help the kid reach his fullest potential, and so he did. Oni became incredibly attached to the kid, as well as other people who frequented who actually happened to well known figures later on, such as Adam, Indra, even Hastur. The peace though did not last forever, as the city fell under siege by the Primordial Kinship. Oni defended the city with all of his might, and Phil helped him, but during the massive battle that ensued, Phil was struck through the chest with an arrow after a rain of arrows was shot down from the sky by ballistas , sacrificing his life so that he could save his classmates. Oni rushed to him and tried to save him in any way he could, but it was futile. Phil and Oni then exchanged some words and Phil died in Oni's arms. Oni for the first time felt grief and great sadness, yet still shed no tears. Oni then entered Oni-Devil for the first time since before even finding the city. To this day, Oni-Devil has never fought as coordinated and as brutally and left as little survivors as he did defending Neruzavim. The city was ravaged by the Kinship, but they did manage to get the Kinship to flee. Oni distraught by the death of Phil, dug him a grave in the wreckage of the school building he was attending and put Phil's sword on the ground in front of the grave. Oni left Neruzavim and returned to the Chaos Islands, Chaos had never expected to see Oni make any attachments and figured he would turn away very quickly, but after witnessing all that Oni had, and then seen him lose it all, Chaos actually felt somewhat sympathetic, so he chose not to scold him. Oni while sulking through the Chaos Islands ran into Ares, asking him if things went well. Oni simply responded saying that he learned something new today, which was loss.
