Homebrew Balthazar's Oni Species Details

 

Oni were created from the depths of La Isla, crafted and shaped by the almighty Balthazar. His created servants followed his every wish and command, serving as highly skilled warriors and assassins that would also serve as generals. 

Oni were made tall, horned, ambitious, and honorable to name a few things. Balthazar took a decade to perfect his new children, all which had been made with remnants of Balthazar themself. Each Oni bore his mark upon birth, a trident with the middle pike being the longest, furthest right being the second longest, and the furthest left being the shortest.
