Homebrew Half-Oni Species Details

Onis are creatures of fairytales, gathering information in the day and stealing away people in their sleep before devouring them. However, sometimes an Oni will take a human for other reasons, or they will find a human of an equal sadistic nature who they'll have a child with. In either case this often leads to the human parent being murdered by the Oni. The Oni will then raise the child with the beliefs of an Oni. However, the humanity within a Half-Oni allows them to reject this and have their own beliefs and morals. A half Oni looks very similar to an Oni, having red, blue, grey, purple, green or orange skin and short ivory horns or tusks. They stand above most other races, and sometimes taller than a goliath. Half-Onis are often feared similarly to half-orcs or half-ogres and for the Half-Onis that reject their evil parentage, this can be isolated and horrid, having no real place in the world. This also often means Half-Onis make good friends with Half-Orcs, and sometimes Half-Ogres. They also gain an essence of innate magic from their parents however this is limited to them, and those Half-Onis that are ashamed of their parentage refrain from using this 'gift'.

Half-Oni Traits

Age

Half-Onis mature at a similar rate to humans but are considered young until they are 60 years of age, and can live into their third or fourth century.

Alignment

Half-Onis that embrace their parentage are usually evil in alignment, but as they possess free will they can be neutral and sometimes good. Nearly always a Half-Oni is Lawful, and will either follow rules set by his or her mother or father, the rules set by them self or the rules set by society.

Darkvision

Oni are accustomed to the dark and have gained the ability to see in it, to find their prey. Half-Onis also gain this trait from their parentage.  You can see in dim light within 30 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
