National Origin
There once was a people called Oni, the oni were fearsome creatures from the Land of Yomi (The Underworld). The Oni were sick and tired of the death and decay of the land of Yomi, and so. They sought better land to live on, as they desperately tried finding a path across the Sanzu river. Eventually, they made it out the entrance to Yomi, and upon exiting the underworld. The Oni were met with beautiful mountains and nature to live comfortably and away from the death and decay of the underworld.
As time went on, the Oni started to enjoy their new lives on the surface world. However, after hunting upon wild animals, the Oni encountered a tribe of people living on the same land as them. At first, they mostly looted and terrorized the tribesmen and folk as it was easier and more bountiful than hunting regularly. As the Oni continued their raids and looting of the Humans, the Humans began to take up arms so they could fight back against the Oni, who had done nothing but made their lives miserable. A war began between the two races with it resulting in a one sided bloodbath, along with most of the human males dying as a result of the conflict. The remaining humans were either killed off for being too ugly, with the beautiful ones used as sex slaves for their own sick and selfish desires. In this aftermath, the Oni started to get ideas on how might makes right, with the weak ending up like the Humans they have humiliated and embarrassed. With this, as time passes, the Oni start developing ideas and a culture around decadence. Eventually turning into “The strong express their strength through decadence.” With the idea being that the Oni can only be so free because of their strength.
A few thousand years pass, and a people called the “Kijin” or “Half Oni” started to form as a child of both the Oni and the Humans became an entirely different species altogether, inheriting both the strength of the Oni and the intelligence and resourcefulness of the Humans. The Kijin were considered kin by the Oni, and therefore were given the same treatment as their fellow Oni. However, the Kijin were more sympathetic towards the Humans, which resulted in Humans and Kijin having a shared hatred and disgust for the Oni.
With the times moving on, the Kijin had developed a culture where they would only marry or have kids with those who managed to beat them. Normally for a human to be involved in this sacred ritual was not something to be expected or even heard of. However the head of the clan for the Askuka/飛鳥 family thought it would be a good idea to toy with one of their slaves and make a boy named “Ataru” to play tag with the head daughter of the Kijin branch of the clan named “Lum”, the Oni had promised the boy to be set free and give away Lum to the boy. However, to the shock of everyone in the Nation, the slave named Ataru had won against Lum, making the slave a potential husband for the head daughter. At first, amused, the Head of the Asuka clan honored his promise of freeing the boy, with him being the first free Human for over thousands of years. As the boy rejoiced, the head daughter became absolutely mesmerized and attracted to the Human that has managed to beat her, and slowly, that interest slowly built into Love for the now former slave as they both develop into a romantic relationship. Unfortunately the love does not continue peacefully, as the events following will forever change the History of the Kaiki-Archipelago.
Following the events of the historic tag game, the once amused head of the Asuka clan was now bitter and angry. As the Kijin Lum had seriously fallen for the man that beat her, and was even planning to marry him against the orders and wishes of the clan. And so, the Head of the Asuka clan. Which is now known as 飛鳥大嶽丸 “The Ōtakemaru of Asuka” ordered the execution and killing of Ataru, which in turn led to the grieving and plotting of 飛鳥ラム against her founders, and eventually the entire Oni race.
Lum had begun making alliances with the Clans of the Kijin and the Slaves in captivity under the Oni, and started organizing her rebellion against the Oni people as she had not forgotten her now lost love that was taken so cruelly and forcefully from her and had planned this since Ataru’s death. And eventually, at the night of the full moon. Just as the capital was celebrating their 1100th anniversary of dominance and supremacy against the Mortals of the overworld, Lum had launched and ordered a massacre against the people of Oni. With the Humans taking the vanguard of the clashes due to their long grudges against those that oppressed them, both the Kijin and the Humans made sure that there were no Oni left to continue their wretched existence any further and to end the war on the same day that it started. However, an Oni managed to escape the carnage, and had managed to warn the other Oni to give them enough time to organize a force against the rebellion, a gruesome war erupted which lasted for 329 years and caused the extinction of both the Humans and the Oni, as the Humans were so desperate for revenge that they had volunteered to fight alongside the Kijin, which has caused massive casualties on the Humans who fought along the Kijin, but just as the war was coming to a close, the Ōtakemaru of Asuka had cursed the Kijin as retribution for defying against their own ancestors, and forever condemned them to be unable to fight in their full potential. Effectively cursing away and making the Kijin unable to fight at their full potential without consequences, and as the head of Ōtakemaru was finally slain, peace had arrived on the Kaiki-Archipelago. But at the cost of the extinction of the Humans on the island and the Kijin’s powers being cursed for eternity.
In the Aftermath of the “Holy War” (as people call it), when Lum passed away, she had given birth to Several children of her own, each being gifted in a specialized craft or a skill. Eventually making their own clan as they had come to dominate the Kijin in politics, strength and riches. However, after the passing of a few generations, the Clans that were descendants from the Great Kijin Shaman Princess Lum had by now developed a bitter rivalry amongst themselves, to the point of dividing the Kaiki Archipelago into several domains which had began fighting each other for dominance and control over the entire mainland. This period known as “the warring states period” had seen the bloodiest fighting ever seen since the Holy war, with several clans taking advantage of the curse by ordering their soldiers to fight in full capacity and lose themselves in power and go berserk. This method has been repeatedly used as a sort of single use attack that caused heavy casualties on both the attacker and the defenders, nevertheless. Fighting continued in this manner, as several clans and bloodlines almost went extinct during the period.
With manpower being almost spent, and the exhaustion of the Clans. They all agree on a truce, and discuss the future of the Island, as without peace and cooperation, the clans were all eventually going to be weakened and replaced by an external force, as trade became more and more common within Kaiki and the foreign world. And so, they had all agreed on the establishment of an entirely unrelated and new clan, called the “Dynastic Clan”; it was agreed that the domains and their clans would pledge their allegiance to this new clan. However as time went on, and a few more generations passed, the Domains were once again on the brink of a civil war, as the Dynasty Clan had proven itself to become more and more incompetent as newer generations became disinterested in politics, and had caused stagnation and decline instead of stability and prosperity. Each domain could agree on replacing the dynasty clan, but when the conversation became to who should be the new ruler of Kaiki, the Clans all argued and even almost fought each other for it. But instead of repeating the same mistakes of the past, the Clans of Kaiki had put in place rules in order to decide the new Emperor, with the emperor being a position forever held until the current Emperor/Empress abdicates or if they die. Along with the establishment of the “Enlightened Association” to oversee the rules and be judges for the succession process.
And with that, the modern story of the land of Kaiki continues to this day…
