The raucous red oni are the most interested in simple pleasures, and tend towards chaotic alignments.. Their colder and calculating cousins, blue oni, tend towards lawful alignments. White oni are closer to the spiritual world than the rest of their kin, often trying to keep the balance between the spirit world and the material plane; as such, they tend towards the lawful neutral alignment.
