Akojin, Subclass of Demon
Akojin are the animal demons of the Neo Ryuu continent and
appear much like humans with animal features. Similar to popular myths or lore
of Neo Ryuu these Akojin live in peace in territories among the people in the
continent. Very few are known to act as the Legion of the Akuma and even the
Akojin are enemies of Akuma the demon that rests behind the Jade seal. Akojin
can appear human like but can appear like humanoid animals. This varies among
clans and species of the Akojin. Akojin also strongly believing in breeding in
their own clans hence it would be odd to suddenly see a turtle Akojin with a fox
tale and permitting that child to be ridiculed.
There are many forms Akojin can be but the most that are known are the fox, cat, dog, turtle, and raccoon. There have been in some cases that their have been wolf demons as well as panther demons in the Akojin Family but they are rarely seen preferring to keep to themselves in the wild. The other demons that serve the Akuma are mainly that of insects, arachnids, vicious serpents, vicious reptiles, vermin, and aquatic monsters. These are the enemies of the Akojin who have longed for centuries to have the Shangri-La that once was formed centuries ago.
Because of the many different Akojin they share but little in common except for their demon heritage. They live among their own clans and never disturb or cause crime in another Akojin clan. When entering a domain not of their own they kneel on both legs and bow low offering a small speech of respect to the ones who may own the domain that they are now entering. This action is normally sensed by other Akojin close by as means of respect. Akojin vary in height, hair, eyes, and skin color. Of coarse there are male and female species and all clans strongly believe in matting with their own kind though some times one breaks the laws and breeds with a human. This is highly forbidden and seen as treason among the clans of the Akojin. The Demon war began because of the half breeds created and most elders fear to see the War Begin again after such a long time of peace and rejoice.
Racial Abilities by Type
Natural Weapons> Akojin Children have Natural Claws, Bite, Tails, Horns, and Wings. The claws are normally 2d6 +4 due to their abnormal strength and their Bite is d4 +4 when used to bite a creature. Their tails are at times not very thick and prove useless to slam anyone but because some Akojin have a barb or spikes on them it can serve as a third weapon such as a whip attack of d4 +2. The Akojin’s Horns are normally used for head butting or Goring opponents offering a d4 +6 Attack when applied. However the horns are never long or big enough to toss an opponent aside. The Akojin Wings are not necessarily to grant them flight since they are not strong enough for such actions but they can glide in the air similar to Gargoyles in Flight. They’ll need enough air current and a movement of 4 to get a jump into the wind starts the gliding but only if the wind conditions permit it.
Aura of Demon> When some one detect evil or uses empathy they can sense some type of small evil emanating from the Akojin due to the demonic blood with in them. This detection isn’t as bad depending in the alignment of the Akojin.
True Sight> Due to their supernatural bloodline Akojin’s can see past Illusions of a single target as well as see apparitions and anything of the supernatural realm as if normal. This is a unique ability to see pass the illusions or inability to see that of the supernatural world.
Supernatural Damage> A Akojin like a demon can deal their Natural weapon Damage to any supernatural creature whether it was a ghost or something immune to physical attacks. This is because their demon blood is a supernatural essence infusing them with yet another gift.
Sense Aura> A Akojin much like a Demon can sense Aura’s by smell. This is an automatic feature when stated and can sense not only the race but if it is Magic and what alignment the target is. This is effective to a Radius of 5ft x Reflex making it an average radius to sense a target.

If the Tanuki is touched their cover is blown since they only appear as a statue and don’t feel like one.
