Oni

* Oni Male
* Oni Female

## Description

**Oni** stand as a fierce and untamed force, both feared and revered by those who dare to traverse the rugged landscapes they call home. These savage and imposing beings, known for their unparalleled combat prowess and unyielding determination, embody the essence of the wild and the unbridled strength of the mountains.

### Origin and Heritage

The origins of the Oni trace back to an ancient and primal era, when the mountains themselves seemed to give birth to these formidable beings. Endowed with an innate affinity for the elements and an unbreakable connection to the land, the Oni emerged as the guardians of the mountains, embodying the untamed forces of nature that both challenge and sustain life.

### Savage Mastery

The Oni's reputation as a savage and combative race is not unwarranted. Their towering frames and hardened physiques serve as testaments to a life of relentless conflict and fierce competition. Tribal by nature, Oni society is characterized by a complex hierarchy built upon physical might and ruthless dominance. Rivalries among clans often escalate into ritualistic combat, as Oni warriors engage in fierce contests to assert their superiority.

### Shamanistic Tradition

Beyond their fierce combat prowess, the Oni are a profoundly shamanistic race, deeply attuned to the mystical currents that flow through the mountains. Oni shamans, regarded as spiritual leaders and revered figures, commune with the primal energies of the land. They channel the spirits of earth, fire, and wind, using their shamanistic gifts to bless their warriors, foretell events, and seek guidance from the mountains themselves.

### Love for the Mountains

The mountains are not just the Oni's home; they are their spiritual anchor. The Oni revere the peaks and valleys, viewing them as living entities and sources of boundless strength. They harness the raw power of the earth, wielding stone and fire with an innate mastery that mirrors the mountains themselves. It is through this connection that Oni shamans channel primal energies, bestowing blessings upon their warriors and communing with the very essence of the land.

### Contempt for Weakness

The Oni harbor a deep-seated disdain for what they perceive as weakness, both in themselves and others. They view physically smaller races as inherently inferior, scoffing at those who cannot withstand the harsh trials of the mountains. This contempt for weakness often leads to conflicts with neighboring civilizations, as the Oni assert their dominance and challenge those who would question their ferocity.

### Balance of Primal Nature

Amidst the ferocity and raw power that defines the Oni, there exists a delicate balance between their wild nature and their unyielding sense of honor. While they may appear as uncompromising and ruthless warriors, Oni also adhere to their own code of ethics and loyalty. Their bonds with kin and reverence for the mountains instill a sense of unity that binds their tribes and tempers their more violent tendencies.
