Changes: Onryo Physiology

Revision as of 21:20, 15 June 2020

The power to use the abilities of Onryo. Variation of Ghost Physiology.

Also Called

Onryo Mimicry

Capabilities

User with this ability either is or can transform into an Onryō, a spirit from Japanese folklore who is able to return to the physical world in order to seek vengeance using the spiritual powers they gain after death.

While male Onryō exist, the majority of them are women, usually young women, with long, stringy black hair that covers their face, clad in a white burial kimono or shroud. Their face itself is often quite ghastly to look upon. Their deaths are often caused by the suffering visited upon them by the capricious whims of their male lovers.

Applications

Curse Inducement as they sometimes just haunt or give their targets bad luck.
Decelerated Aging, Semi-Immortality, or Immortality
Dream Walking
Fear Inducement
- Paralysis Inducement
- Insanity Inducement
Ghost Physiology
Mental Inducement
Prehensile Hair

Variations

Associations

Limitations

Users may be bound to where they were killed or an object belongs to them. If the haunted places or objects are destroyed, the Onryo might be vanquished.
Obsessed with vengeance.
May lose strength after getting revenge.
May be weak against Exorcism or holy powers.
