Twisted by the injustice of their death these oni wander the countryside looking for revenge, driven by a rage so strong that even if destroyed they can rise again, never to rest until their murderer is dead.Onryo: When a person dies feeling wronged—such as from a spouse’s infidelity or the disinheritance of a relative—their bodies may rise up to correct the injustice done to them.Greater Onryo: ?Adeddo-Oni, Minion: ?Adeddo-Oni, Abomination With a Malevolent Dead Heart That Beats With a Thirst for Blood: ?Adeddo-Oni Samurai, Lackey: ?Adeddo-Oni Mage, Lackey: ?Gaki, Insatiable Oni, Most Common Types of Monster to Prey on the Prefecture: ?Gaki, Cunning Predator: ?Harionago, Horrific Result, Oni: ?Onryo, Persistent Hunter: ?Greater Onryo, Variant Onryo, Onryo With the Capacity for Causing Natural Disasters, Stronger Onryo, Being Capable of Great Disasters: ?Gashadokuro, Massive Skeleton, Larger Ally: ?Undead: Seiya’s remains are kept at the Graveyard of the Damned, a remote cemetery where the cremated corpses of murderers, madmen, and others believed to be at higher risk of rising as undead are kept—if Fujioka has returned from the dead, the priest would almost certainly know.Shinzo the Eater, Ghost, Ghost of a Cannibalistic Murderer, Hungry Ghost, Most Vicious Inhabitant, Serial Killer, Fragment, Spirit, Spectral Form of an Older Man: Unfortunately one of the cemetery’s most vicious inhabitants, a serial killer named Shinzo the Eater that was recently interred after being killed by the watch, has burst forth from the grave. A tragic victim of a conflict of which he was an unwilling participant and fated by his name to a dreadful end, as a child Shinzo found himself the only survivor of a Hakaisuru raid on the small town where his family ran a traveller’s inn. When the attack occurred they took shelter in the cellar where a stray cannonball collapsed the building atop them, killing everyone except for Shinzo and trapping him in the rubble with only the corpse of his sister Haruka for company. Days passed and his mind broke—drawing the attentions of the Pale Master. Having been named after his ancestor (Shinzo Kitamura, founder of the Crimson Vigil), the necromancer saw an opportunity to forever dishonor the name and touched the already shattered youth’s psyche. Driven by hunger and corrupted by the ancient evil, Shinzo resorted to eating her corpse, trapped in the dark and sobbing even as he forced her flesh down his throat.Days later he was rescued and eventually placed in an orphanage but he never truly escaped those terrible days in the dark; constantly tormented by dreams of fire, darkness, and the terrible taste of flesh. When he finally came of age and was released he found work in another inn before eventually succumbing to the terrible hunger that had been born within him. By the time he was caught Shinzo had murdered and devoured nine young women, each of them resembling his sister. His torments in the hells below have distilled his madness and hunger—separating it from the broken child that first spawned it and giving it a life of its own—and the preparations for the Pale Master’s ritual have provided that fragment with the means to drag itself back into the world of the living.Ghost: ?Ichizo Ando, The Pale Master, Malevolent Specter, Foul Undead Mage, Disembodied Specter, Necromancer, Ancient Evil, Ancient Necromancer, Specter, Foul Spirit, Even Greater Power: Ichizo Ando—vicious and cruel, both feared and hated by samurai and commoner alike—ruled Kizaki and the surrounding lands for decades before being slain. He murdered his family in order to obtain power, was known to eat the flesh of captured enemies, and flayed any servants or subordinates that displeased him. These stories and others (detailing all manner of macabre practices) were whispered among his subjects and beyond but despite the horrible nature of the tales they paled in comparison to the truth. Trained by a demonologist that spread his practices under the guise of an itinerant teacher, Ichizo developed an insatiable lust for power that sped him along the descent into darkness. As he aged and his mastery grew he began to lust after immortality, delving into necromancy, and from the Crimson Keep he sought out forbidden secrets and cast fel rituals that demanded blood sacrifice on an appalling scale. Ichizo’s evil and gradual necromantic transformation eventually garnered him the moniker “the Pale Master” by his remaining subordinates, a name spoken with utter dread.Eventually knowledge of Ichizo’s blasphemous quest for immortality made its way to the ears of those capable of challenging him and a trio of famous adventurers were sought out in secret by a young nobleman named Shinzo Kitamura to free his land from the Pale Master’s monstrous rule. These three—a potent yamabushi named Maru Okita, the famous samurai duelist Ukiyo Machi, and a mage of great skill named Takanibu Imai—made their way to the Crimson Keep with Shinzo and attacked Ichizo while he was performing a great magical rite. They killed him but not before he transformed into a disembodied specter, twisted by the disrupted energies, and in an attempt to constrain his evil Maru invoked a great sutra that required the blood of all three heroes, anchoring the Pale Master’s soul to the seat of his rule before it could drift free and leaving him nearly powerless.Specter: ?Kiyoshi Muraoka, Vampire, Servant, Agent, True Master of Kizaki, Bengoshi, Slightly Older Lithe Man, Vicious Inhuman Predator, Villain, True Threat, Immortal Blood Drinking Monster, Evil Agent, Torturous Servant, Inhuman Monster That Seems to Be Immortal and Averse to the Light of Day, Nobleman, Dangerous Adversary: ?Vampire Spawn, Sister, Sibling: ?Vampire Spawn, Wife: ?Vampire Spawn, Trusted Servant, Servant: ?</blockquote>
