[OOC] The War for Baji (open)

[Lekkuen]

Alright Dorks, I'm home so can start working on a post

[CorruptedShadow]

Yaaaaay

[Wei Phoenix]

@The Narrator Question: Is Hibiki's character/soul reading ability common knowledge or something he is keeping on a need to know basis with Lord Shima?

I will be leaving soon to celebrate a friend's birthday but I will try to get something up before then.

[Lekkuen]

Expect outside of posts some additional lore stuff tonight. On the kinds of animals around as well as some weirdo demons

[Kitsune]

I hope my latest post is alright.
I am trying to show the time spent between characters and their relationships a little more. After all Yuudai has been there since she was just a teen and given the lords respect she would most likely like him. This also counts towards Gin and Metou.

[Mogtaki]

Heheh aye, I'd like that. Gin could use some interaction that doesn't involve his height x)

[Lekkuen]

@Mogtaki

Nope, only short jokes allowed!

[Mogtaki]

Aww man!

Why you gotta be pickin' on the shorties, ehhh? He'll nibble your ankles away, he will!

I'm gonna post tomorrow, 4am is too early/late for this posting stuff.

[Xartarin]

As a 21 year old man who is 5'2", I feel I can at least somewhat feel Gin's pain.

Added this to front page. It isn't baji specific but things from this place sometime enter Baji from beneath the ground. And it may tie into some things later <_<

Kougari/Dark Realm

Beneath the surface of the world exists a place known as the Dark Realm, a forever separate yet connected world beneath what most people call Kios. Drawing its name from the sky only alternating between dark gray and dark red, this world within a world is the source of all dark energy and black magic within Kios. Like most realms it has its own ecosystem full of unique plants and animals dotting its jagged landscape. Most importantly however are the intelligent life forms that evolved there. As in known with Kios, energy only can build up for so long before it ends up changing form. In the Dark Realm that energy became Kougari

In the ancient days of Kios, the buildup energy began to draw in thoughts from the realm above, the powerful emotions reacting with it and forming the ancient Kougari lords of old. Hungering Kiku-Tunka, Bahu of Shadow, Lunkr of Filth, Painful Cen Hup, and Rageborn Ri-Sun. These ancient demons were masters of their realm, soon spreading out to the other parts of Kios and making their mark known. They were still new to life, obsessed with bringing their bodies and minds newfound pleasure driven by impulse and little more. They spread untold destruction across all planes of Kios, until one by one they were forced back into the dark Realm with Kiku-Tunka and Cen Hup being sealed between realms in a state between life and death. When they returned those things were different, there were other Kougari now, weaker yet more complex ones, it had became a species. With very rarely ones like them forming from individuals drawing in so much magic over time and becoming a unique entity.

The Kougari are a collection of intelligent life forms formed from the dark energy of the world, while they had roots in random formation they are now creatures in every sense of the word reproducing through sex and needing "food" to survive. They lack any form of true society their species too diverse for its own good as they have thousands of variations with vast differences; most preferring to live in packs of their own kind so they can focus on fulfilling their desires. Every now and then individuals crop up who want to forge more but all attempts fail, or only last for either short term of small groups normally resulting in the more social Kougari to move into Raiki cities and live among them.

The countless variations normally saw their genesis in a reflection of a fear or thought from the surface, creating things such as succubi/incubi, rage beasts, love demons, fear feasters, etc. As such many feed on raw emotion, ideas, and concepts instead of actual physical meals although many are capable of doing so. Their natural connection to the energy that forms their realm allows them easier access to the other realms much like their ancestors before them, making their primary hunting ground against the races that live on the surface. Their hunts shaping the various species as great enemies of the majority of intelligent life living above them, the Kougari themselves having no organized view on other creatures and simply hunting them because it was fun and useful to them, with some actually liking them.

They have a rather unusual biology in the sense that the magic within them allows them to breed either any life form no matter how radically different from them. If it can reproduce sexually they can impregnate it or be impregnated by it, the Kougari normally taking said creature back into the dark realm with them making it not an uncommon sight to see non demons or Raiki amongst Kougari packs or settlements but such are normally slaves or toys, and only rarely are they there out of love. Mixed children with the Kougari are always Kougari but possesses traits from whatever the other parent species is, ones that happen a lot becoming their own sub races over time.

Poor Yuudai, she is the one meant to do the teasing not the other way around! XD

[Bonjour xx]

Hi there [@TheNarrator], as this group has already started quite a bit into the IC, I think I won't disrupt everyone and join at this stage. Thank-you for keeping a spot for me though, I really appreciate that.

[The Narrator]

About the soulreading, his ability is no secret. So either they were told of it, or he will tell them himself.

[Wei Phoenix]

Thanks, broham.

[Lekkuen]

Poor Yuudai, she is the one meant to do the teasing not the other way around! XD

@Kitsune

Now she will have to spend the entire journey unsure if she's supposed to be a fancy noble lady.

[Kitsune]

Oh by the gods she will have to learn what a dress is.

[Lekkuen]

I'm not at home yet. But Yay! More posts. Can't for the actual journey to start and all the half Oni get into a blood rage and start fighting each other.

[Kitsune]

But if Yuudai kills the others people will be upset ;x;

[Lekkuen]

But momma would be proud

[Kitsune]

By the way, I like Gin's little "I am a man!" Before crossing his arms and huffing like a child XD
