[DanDaDan] Ryuuna and Inyou and Onyou

My socials Hey soooooooooo new Lavvy! I haven't done that in a while. And yes I'm into Dandadan. I was rly happy with this design and wanna put it in ArtFight. The demon is based on the Onmoraki and the Yogen no Tori.

Info:

-Human- Name: Karasuno Ryuuna Age: 16 Gender: Female Personality: Brash, rude and in general an impolite rule breaker, Ryuuna is a Sukeban (Japanese thug). She is averse to anything feminine, to the point she wears a school boy's uniform. The teachers long gave up on making her wear the female one, as at least she wears ONE uniform. While in general she is grumpy and abrasive, she tends to not start fights, unless provoked. In fact, one reason she became a thug and started hanging out with others like her is to get into fights with people that do deserve a beating. As such, she does have a rather twisted sense of justice, or at least, some moral compass that justified certain violence. Now that she knows alien's and yokai's can be a threat, she has more than enough justified targets to take her rage out on. In spite of this, she will take care of her family's shrine and the Yokai now stuck to her, no matter how sour it seems to make her. Few of her friends know she can have a soft interior, but it is rather hard to find it and she never brings it out. Backstory: Ryuuna used to be a regular girl when she was a child, just trying to be obedient and do things like help her parents with the worn down shrine they took care of. But when they accepted a job across seas, she was left mostly to her own devices by middle school. This caused her rebellion to hit especially hard and her to hang out with the wrong crowd and start underage drinking. Still, she took care of the Karasuno family shrine, said to carry the guardian of the family. Since she could remember, Ryuuna could ocassionally spot odd phenomenon, like recently departed folks walking the street, or impossible animals staring around corners. As she grew, this became more often and she chucked it to her having some form of mental illness.... to which she was unwilling to admit, as she was afraid to be thrown in a mental institution. The phenomenon aggravated when a two headed crow, one head having white feathers, started incessantly following and crowing at her. She tried to ignore it as much as she could. Until one night where an odd angel creature seemed to... fight a crow yokai? It looked different from the one that followed her, but somehow she knew it was the same. And as the angel was seeming to beat the Yokai with no issue, and threatening to steal its energy away, she couldn't take the one sided fight. As such she attempted to knock out the angel with her wooden sword. It shattered upon impact, revealing the wide grinning angel, to actually be an alien in disguise. In retaliation, it ripped her eyes out of their sockets, as they were actually revealed to carry most of her latent spiritual power. Turns out the Yokai was the guardian of the shrine and a demon with the ability to forsee disasters, which is why it warned her, as upon taking the demon's power it would have come after her regardless to steal her spiritual power as well. In order to defeat the foe, the demon, known as Inyou and Onyou replaced her eyes with one of each from each head, causing their own spiritual power to transfer to her. While the backlash from the first possessed transformation was fierce, they did manage to win. Now Inyou and Onyou are stuck with Ryuuna as they share both their spiritual energy and eyes, making them even fiercer targets for spiritually powered individuals. Ryuuna seems to not be happy about it, but she is secretly rather excited about her new fighting form and potential... at the cost of having to deal that she is now technically blind without the demon's eyes. Details:

Ryuuna's brown eyes are actually a disguise. People with spiritual powers can see the actual colors of her eyes, which is the same as in the Onmyodo form.

The wooden sword is... pretty useless in fights with demons and aliens, often just shattering.

-Demon- Name: Inyou and Onyou  Gender: Any (uses plural pronouns most often as they like to get addressed together) Personality: Inyou is the white head of the bird. It keeps it's eyes closed and always seems to have a serene and non intimidating energy. It speaks in a sophisticated dialect and seems to be more agreeable. When it takes over the Yokai body (Yin), it turns into the two headed crow, and while odd, the bird does not radiate any negative intentions, only wanting to help others prevent disasters.  Onyou is the black and bald head. It is loud and constantly demands respect. It has a rude dialect and always appears to be angry, even when it has good intentions. When it takes over the Yokai body it turns into a giant bird creature. This form is built for violence and intimidation. Details:

Before giving the eyes to Ryuuna, Onyou and Inyou would just swap whoever dominated their Yokai body. Their new two headed form is a result of balance achieved when giving the burden to another individual.

For people without spiritual power, Onyou and Inyou will just be seen as a regular crow, unless it's in the form where Onyou dominates.

Abilities: - Onyou: Inyou has the foresight ability. When in their Yokai form they can see disasters and other tragedies coming and attempts to warn the people. However, as they cannot speak to non spiritual savvy people, all they can do is attempt to guide them nonverbally. - Onyou:  Built for combat, this Yokai form sports the body more similar to a dinosaur than a bird. It comes with enhanced speed, strength and razor sharp claws. It also has the ability to manipulate nearby negative energy as cutting winds, allowing it to fly even without feathers. - Onmyodo possession/fusion form: Onmyodo is what happens when Ryuuna activates the powers reiceved from the Yokai. She grows a half and half mask over her face and her hair gets two types of textures. She has the powers of both Onyou and Inyou, however they manifest modified. Using the Inyou abilities, she can predict the actions of foes she is observing, however using this ability too much will cause extreme migraines to the point of canceling the Fusion form. Onyou allows her to use the wind powers, but only to enhance her claws and the clothes hanging off her arms, making them act more like Urumi blades. However, without the cloth, she can only use it on the claws. She can transform without the demon present, getting the mask, however, the outfit is a result of Onyou and Inyou fusing with the body to allow her to use their powers more easily. Art (c) ME!

Onmoraki

Thank you! It's been a relaxing one. Four demons for Cirstmurs...

I don't think my typical demon favorites would fit too well in this context. So for one of my family's parties it would have to be...

1. Lemon Frost. For flavor.

2. Putz. For all the hazelnut filling I ate in chocolates this year.

3. Onmoraki. I had wings for Christmas dinner. Have to take the chicken thing literally.

4. Erlkonig. I mean, the gifts have to go under something.

5. Agony. I would delight in informing my family that this crucified-by-barbed-wire guy bleeding profusely on the floor is in fact not actually Jesus.
