Hitoyugure

The Hitoyugure is a sapient species of semi-amorphous beings of darkness native to Rokans. They are one of two races created by the Rokain God of Darkness, Trajodeas, and one of three races that form the Anko Faction, the other two being humans and the Rokain Kitsune.

Appearance

The Hitoyugure is extremely dark in color, being either a dark blue or purple or completely black. Their true height is measured from the top of their head to their lower torso, frequently reaching 4-5 feet. Their eyes are slightly larger than those of a human, the sclera are pitch black, and their eye color almost always contrasts this. They seem to lack a nose on their face and mouth on their face, despite being able to speak without the need for the latter. Frequently, their body has markings spread across their body. The number, shape, and arrangement of these markings vary from individual to individual, although a trend that is apparently across Hitoyugure is that the color of these markings is the same as their eye color. Their appendages are a phantasmal substance found leaking from the sides of their upper torso and the bottom of their torso. They have the ability to shift this into any shape at will.

Ability

As individuals of the Anko Faction and creations of Trajodeas, the Hitoyugure have a strong affinity toward the element of Darkness. Because of this, it's common for them to have achlympery. As semi-amorphous beings, the Hitoyugure have the ability to shift their appendages into any shape at will. Their vision allows them to see clearly within even in absolute zero-light. They also have the ability to hide within the shadows of other people without easily being detected. Following the split of the supercontinent Nenhygas, it's possible for them to have strong affinities to one of the other five prominant elements of the planet (Earth, Fire, Wind, Light, or Water), and have the coresponding ability as a result. Any other ability/abilities they may have varies from individual to individual.

Lore

It is widely recognized by the inhabitants of Rokans that the first Hitoyugure were created on Heiyami by Trajodeas, alongside the first of the Rokain Kistune. However, shortly after their creation, their exposure to a solar eclipse led to a sudden mutation in their species. This led to inadvertent creation of the Shokule, a dangerous reptilian shadow being with the abilities of the Hitoyugure they had mutated from. Trajodeas quickly noticed what had happened and sealed the Shokule on the moon. After realizing what had happened to cause this transformation, he had then created Hitoyugure that were slightly altered to prevent such an incident from occuring again.

Of all of the Hitoyugure to ever have come into existence, the inhabitants of Rokans easily regard Infinic Juptois as the most powerful and the most dangerous of them. Juptois was the last Hitoyugure to be directly created by Trajodeas. He, along side the human Elevix Magnus were created to assist the Anko Faction during their decline in the Quad War. Though at some point after they had successfully gotten the Anko Faction out of the war and rose to power in a diarchy, Juptois had defected from his role. This eventually led to his reign of terror in which he defeated the Warriors of the Eye and Magnus, destroyed Sokohgen, and began his attempt to claim Rokans as his own.
