Oni Fighter

Ah! Welcome, welcome...come, sit down. The refreshments and food are all fresh, all good. Help yourself my friend. The second thing to know about us oni is that we never turn down a friend some drink. You don't want to know the first thing.

...Info, huh? Well, we Oni are a tough lot. You won't find a stronger sort of youkai anywhere in the sky, ground, sea, or underground. We're the very damn best at what we do, and I'll be the first to admit that we do is a hell lot of fun.

First of all would be the bears. We're pretty similar to bears, you know. We're strong, sturdy, and deadly as a typhoon. We're forces of nature. We're less youkai than sheer destruction given form, ya know. And that link to them bears makes us stronger, lets us toe the line between animal and youkai, and let's us pummel our enemies into the dust.

Second would be thanks to an old oni legend. See, one of our leaders decided to pay this vampire's place a visit, have a bit of the booze there, right? Turns out the maid didn't take well to that. They say with but a flick of her wrist she threw a thousand knives, or that she threw a knife that never stopped seeking out its target, or that no matter how hard our alcohol-hunting oni legend fought, she couldn't catch the maid cause she was always just teleportin' away. That's when we learned that it doesn't matter if they're up close or far away, a fight's still a fight and a win's still a win. Just make sure you enjoy yourself all the way.

Heh, that reminds me...what riles you up? Music? A cheer? What if I said it was a tad more literal? Cause we're youkai and all, well...doesn't have to be just a scream. It can be a battle cry meant to rally allies together, or a primal roar that sends the baddies running for the hills. Could be a shout of pain or a god's judgement itself, words carry a lot of strength. And, hell, we're drunk 90% of the time anyway. If we can get our hands on it, we make it a weapon, and damn. We've gotten our hands on words themselves, boy.

You know, onis don't like the ocean much? Some say it's cause we weren't born there. Personally, I think it's cause one of the seas inhabitants managed to fight one of our best oni to a standstill, and damn near won anyway. Should've seen it...damn ghost gal was throwing that anchor around like no one else's business. She was making whirlpools in open ground and made a ship outta no where! Girly was flying around the place like she owned it.

Well...ya know the four devas, right? We emulate them a lot. As the strongest examples of our race, we do our damnedest to make them proud. And if we do a bit of copying, well...them's the breaks. We're honest about it, tho. And when we're turning to mist to dodge some punch, or striking out at twice our size, or slamming down a poor sap in three steps, or just straight making 'em stay and fight, then that's when we feel at home. That's when you feel like a real oni.

See...them three girls are trying to take that away from us. Take away our laughs and booze and fun. But we won't have that. We're the strongest there is, the Oni Fighters, and we won't take this sitting down.

So it doesn't matter at all if they've gotten some super special evil powers. We'll just chug down our sake and slam them back down where they belong. 's how we Oni roll.
