Half-Oni hanyou
Half-oni are the offspring of an oni and another humanoid creature, and are often born as the result of a Oni taking a human partner. Over time, half-oni have been drawn to each other and have created numerous villages filled with half- oni, as well as their full blooded kin. Half-oni can have a single or multiple horns, and most have either pink colored skin or red or blue skin, with green, black, yellow, and white oni being possible but not as common. Some even have a third eye on their forehead, though this only happens rarely. Half-oni are known for being a boisterous people, reveling in dancing, music, drink, and food. They have massive appetites, and are also very fold of treasures. Despite being half-oni, they usually refer to themselves as oni or sometimes ogre, as they believe their oni blood is what defines them. Half-oni continuously seek out battle as a means to prove their strength and fighting prowess, Nevertheless, when it comes to a serious fight, half-oni would rather not run into a fight where the possibility of death is great, but only when success is absolute. Sometimes female half-oni go out of their way to fight with strong men, and if a man is able to defeat her she may offer herself as his bride. Or if a defeated male has proven himself to be strong enough she may offer marriage in exchange for sparing his life. On the other hand, male half-oni will go out of their way to fight with strong opponents or go on adventures to amass wealth, as a way to attract a bride. The children of a half-oni and another humanoid race are usually born as half-oni, and the children of a half-oni and a full blooded oni will always be born as oni. Half-oni are surprisingly comely and attractive, despite their oni heritage, and they have a reputation for being faithful and loving husbands and wives.
