Homebrew Kijin Species Details

Lacking a homeland, Kijin know that they have to make their own way in the world and that they have to be strong to survive. They are not quick to trust anyone who claims to be a friend, but when a Kijin's companions demonstrate that they trust him or her, the Kijin learns to extend the same trust to them. Kijin have a very unstable connection to their demonic origin,meaning when they use their demonic abilities sometimes unwanted things happen.

The Kijin are usually a rare sight and as such are treated cautiously by people, some fear them and the stories of the anomalies they bring, others see them as a bad omen, there are also people that admire them and see them as powerful allies and worthy adversaries. Kijin communities are not common but they exist in many major towns and cities in the world.
