Description And now, it's finally time for me to present something that I've been working on for an actual eternity. That blue-skinned guy right there is one of a few original characters of mine that I've been working on for a couple of years now. Brainstorming ideas for them as well as the slightly different Earth they live on and a number of secondary/background characters that I'd like to introduce at some point later.
Anyway, enjoy this little introduction and excuse my imperfect English for I've never written anything like this before in this language!

Daemon/Ogre

A mighty daemon from the Far East with an unclear past. High self-esteem, a fragile ego, and a sensitive heart.

He used to terrorize small villages, stealing food and playing tricks on everything that moved. One summer morning, during his first attempt at plundering a new territory, he was stopped by someone whose appearance seemed closer to his own rather than to that of human beings: a fiery-red, daemonic archer called Tengu, the guardian of the village. Tengu saw some potential in the troublemaker, and so he set himself a goal of taming the chaotic Oni. He offered him a room in his own house as well as the access to his pantry, in return for ceasing bothering the innocent. Even though the ogre no longer caused issues, people still loathed him.

A few weeks later, the village’s gate was crossed by a merciless gang of bandits. Tengu, the only protector of the people, was almost immediately overpowered by the clique. Everything seemed lost.

Then, unexpectedly, right as the leader of the criminals was getting ready to tell his victory speech, he was brutally rendered unconscious by a single strike of the iron kanabō club. A few other bandits nearby have met the same fate before the rest of them realized they stood no chance against the superhuman strength and agility of the daemon, and so they attempted running away. Not even one of them succeeded at that.

Oni left the unconscious and ready-to-be-arrested outlaws on the main square of the village and then proceeded to take care of his wounded friend.

The next day, he learnt about something that was completely new to him: people started to love him. They kept complimenting him, thanking him, and helped him in caring for Tengu. Oni became the hero of the village. It might have not been all that much but it filled him with such pride and tasted so good that he immediately knew what he wanted to dedicate his life to: helping those who can’t defend themselves.

He packed some food, a few other necessary things and souvenirs from the thankful village folk, thanked his first friend for showing him a new way and then left for a journey to defeat all evil that he stumbles upon.

It was already a week since he had left the village and he hasn’t found any evil, nor a single trace of civilization. However, he was found himself by a daemoness sunbathing on top of a huge freestanding boulder, with surprisingly noble origins and a short temper.
