i have some lore ive been refining a little bit as ive been creating it but here it is \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/
The “Owl” Demon (Tokyo Ghoul Eto Fan Lore)
Entry #1
The entity known as “Owl” is known for its habit of only coming out at night to feed, and to kill. Known as matching (if not greater than) the Power of Tiamat, the Dragon Queen. Resistant to nearly every conceivable weapon except light. It's also unable to speak in its transformed state, speaking of the transformed state, we believe there is a demon of some kind living within the beast. Able to transform at will into— (the rest of the page is ripped with dots of blood)
Entry #2
With what little tests we have been able to do, it has an enormous amount of life-force and its regeneration is unlike anything we have seen before. The “Owl” also has the ultimate power of tracking, able to track a single target anywhere on the plane. It has nearly impenetrable armor-like skin, sometimes weapons even bounce off the skin when struck. Including its incredible sneaking abilities despite being so large, there are many unknown aspects of this being. Seemingly unable to be blinded, it has incredible eyesight, along with armored and transparent eyelids— (the rest of the page is torn with dried blood along the bottom edge of the page)
Entry #3 (not finished)
It also is sentient whilst in the Transformed state, able to differentiate demons alike itself from other creatures. It has large blades attached to its smaller arms that are able to shoot spikes and cut deep wounds. These chunks of skin (?) are highly acidic and with melt themselves to nothing after around 24 hours.

The Materials it is made out of have Vines and Vegetation growing and spreading on them. The Tower keeps a stable cylinder shape as it reaches it's peak. Inside the Tower working and acting frantic like prey being hunted, was a Bespectacled Human. They had large brown robes covering them and a comically large Book on the desk in front of them. They flip through the pages not worrying about ripping them as he arrives at a Empty page. He relaxes, Now pulling out a strange glowing Pencil. He began to write, each stroke of his pencil caused strange glowing blue Lead to flow out of it. This was the beginning of a New "Thread" The lore of this world being started.

Enjoy some lore from yours truly, The Weaver of a Thousand Triumphs!
The land of Kyomi originally was founded as a small island state off of the coast of the Eastern Reach, though its territories went through a period of rapid expansion several hundred years ago.
Kyomi is ruled according to a strict creed, which all of its leaders must follow. This creed emphasises both the complete power the King is encouraged to hold over his people, and the heavy obligation that he has to protect them from threats ranging from famine to invasion. Each Kyomian Warrior is sworn to uphold these tenets, rather than pledging loyalty to a specific King or Zedar (Kyomian term for a military leader), so a leader who neglects his people runs the risk of a rebellion of elite, well-trained fighters. However, rebellions are rare, as to do so would be to create instability, weakening Kyomi to attack and breaking the contract with the people to protect them.
Although the Warriors are well-trained and expert fighters, the Kyomian military does have one major weakness- its navy. A land-based power used to fighting off threats from Kaoshina in the south and the Nordan Wastelands in the North, since the end of its expansion period, the navy has been effectively neglected, leaving its capital surprisingly open to overseas attacks.
Fear plays a large part in Kyomian society, as it is believed to be the most effective weapon, stopping conflicts before they even have a chance to begin. This is embodied by the traditional Warrior's helmet, which is decorated with a tooth taken from each slain foe. On seeing even a lone Kyomian Warrior, most citizens are inclined to behave themselves. Punishments for lawbreakers are often harsh and consistent, with little in the way of arbitrary rulings or favouritism. A common punishment for low-level crimes is exile, with the condition that those exiled may return if they have brought honour to Kyomi during their time in exile, such as by becoming a hero. Warriors who lie about their kill count by wearing a mask with too many teeth often have their own teeth removed before being exiled, as a warning to others who may do the same.
However, for those who follow the law and stay loyal, there are many benefits- the poor are reasonably well looked after in Kyomi, with almost everyone having a decent standard of living. Crime rates are low, allowing businesses to prosper without fear of robbery. And almost no foreign ruler is willing to risk invading Kyomi- the threat of its elite masked Warriors is deterrent to all but the most foolhardy.
The Kyomian Creed
- The King must be loyal to the whole of Kyomi, and not their own self-interest
- Each King may choose their successor, and rules for life unless they are officially deposed or voluntarily step down.
- The Warriors may depose a false King, in which case then they must hold an election so that Kyomi can decide.
- Warriors must be the best of the best. Anything less is a show of weakness to the world. Houses must ensure their training regimens are rigorous, and that their Warriors are able to perform to their best.
- Warriors must behave in an honourable fashion. They are to represent us, so to deceive, kill without justification, or steal for their own personal gain, is to besmirch the reputation of Kyomi.
- Warriors working in an unofficial capacity, such as ex-military members working as mercenaries, must still remain strong, honourable, and loyal primarily to Kyomi.
- A Warrior should take one tooth from the mouth of each slain foe, to wear on their mask or helm.
- Masks and helms should be treated with respect, as they are a symbol of Kyomi. Non-Kyomians should not be permitted to wear or otherwise defile them, except for in exceptional circumstances.
- Warriors may participate in events such as competitive duels or boxing matches, but if they are competing openly as a Warrior, then they are forbidden to lose. Losing to an arena brute is a sure display of weakness, and an embarrassment to Kyomi and the Warriors.
- Citizens must pay contributions to support Kyomi. These are paid to the nearest House.
- Citizens must remain at all times loyal and respectful to Kyomi
- Citizens have the right to leave Kyomi, however, if they wish to call themself Kyomian, they must still uphold the Creed

The “Owl” also has the ultimate power of tracking, able to track a single target anywhere on the plane. It has nearly impenetrable armor-like skin, sometimes weapons even bounce off the skin when struck.

It also is sentient whilst in the Transformed state, able to differentiate demons alike itself from other creatures. It has large blades attached to its smaller arms that are able to shoot spikes and cut deep wounds.
