What is an 'oni'?
Oni are creatures from Japanese folklore, variously translated as demons, devils, ogres or trolls. They are popular characters in Japanese art, literature and theatre.
Depictions of oni vary widely but usually portray them as gigantic creatures with sharp claws, wild hair, and two long horns growing from their heads. They are humanoid for the most part, but occasionally, they are shown with unnatural features such as odd numbers of eyes or extra fingers and toes.Their skin may be any number of colors, but red and blue are particularly common.
They are often depicted wearing tiger-skin loincloths and carrying iron clubs, called kanabō. This image leads to the expression "oni with an iron club", that is, to be invincible or undefeatable. It can also be used in the sense of "strong beyond strong", or having one's natural quality enhanced or supplemented by the use of some tool.
Oni, quite often are portrayed in popular culture in one of two ways, Either Red oni or Blue oni.
Red Oni are the stronger, brasher, drunker, rowdier, crass, boorish, laid back types....Yes, all of those things at once. They are are certainly the ogrish type, though are far from stupid. They just have a passion for living, it's the only way to put it. and they live in
excess. Fucking, fighting, eating, sleeping, headbutting, partying. Red Oni do all these things and more, and even though they may seem horribly destructive, if you befriend a Red Oni, they are your friend for life. They never forget a friendship and never betray a friend, unless they are betrayed first.
Blue oni are the exact opposite (till drunk). They are completely reserved, calm, cool and collected. They never pick fights and never, ever cause any more trouble in their lives then they need to. Though, because of this, they are seen as very cold, harsh beings. They are also almost impossible to become friends with, never trusting anyone but themselves. Though they still have the oni strength and build, they never let themselves go too far out on a limb....except if they are drunk.
Get a Blue Oni drunk, and they make the Red Oni look reserved.
Backstory
Well, as the above would seem to point out, Rikiko is a red oni, and one hell of a red oni at that. Growing rather rapidly to become a great warrior, she actually flat out challenged the tribe leader to a fight and.... unceremoniously pounded his head in with her kanabō.
He then challenged her to a wrestling match. No weapons, no armor, no tricks. She ripped everything off, and they got into it...only for her to get him into a headlock and choke him out.
He then...attempted to challenge her to a drinking contest, but she would not have it, straight out pointing her finger at him and saying. "Get over it, i'm ten times the oni any of you will ever be!"
....Someone, flat out, shouted. 'Then why don't you go find some peope worth your time!'
They all laughed...but Rikiko would actually blink, pick up her kanabō and shield, and begin walking off, taking one of the sacred sake gourds on the way.
The entire tribe gaped, and begged her to come back...but....hey, it was a damn good idea to her!
Abilities:
Oni: Seriously, this is an ability unto itself. She has skin stronger then most leather armor, and is strong enough to lift boulders three times her size over her head, especially if she's drunk. She's also got an iron stomach and a titanium liver.
Conflagration: Most oni wont bother with the ancient skills anymore, putting more emphasis on their bodies and just being tough as nails. Riniko, at a young age, got a hold of some of the old oni scrolls and actually put forth the effort to learn a trick or two. This is one of them, being the ability to blow flames from her mouth and swing out fists covered in flame. She can even, with a drink of sake in her mouth, fire out a huge ball of flame that will consume anything in its way that is flammable.
Kanabō and Shield: Though it's not really an ability, one should keep in mind the ferocity of the Kanabō. A huge iron rod with spikes on it is not to be took lightly, and though the shield looks completely heavy, she can wield it like it was a buckler, even bashing people with it if need be.
Generally, though, the shield is simply a mark as her status of 'red oni' and she is quick to toss it to the side and only use her Kanabō to fight.
