YOKARI
MYTHICAL CREATURE TYPE
*click thumbnail for full-view
Yokaris are a cross-breed species between a mythical creature and an ashuri. Although they are a considered a rare subspecies, they have existed alongside other ashuri species for many centuries. They came into being due to mythical creatures and ashuris sharing a common enemy: human beings. Many yokaris supported ashuris during their war with mankind. They developed a historic alliance, and some of them decided to start families together, resulting in yokari children.
Because yokaris are half-mythical and half-ashuri, they inherit some of the abilities of both types of species, but only in a half portion. This means that yokaris are not as strong as the average ashuri or the average mythical creature. However, because of their access to rare mythical powers, even possessing only half of such power makes them revered and considered powerful among other ashuris.
Besides possessing rare powers, all yokaris also have the ability to travel between the existential planes. There are many forms of life scattered across different levels of existence, and mythical creatures possess an entire realm of their own separate from Earth, which yokaris are also capable of traveling to and from. Some may choose to live here while others decide to stay on the earthly plane alongside other ashuris.
