Yokai

Japanese for Demon. The Yokai are one of the three focal races of the Hex BLVD universe. They vary greatly in appearance, size and strength and in present time do not pose a threat to other races. Yokai are further subdivided into Species (individuals who share a common physiology and physique, as well as a Seiteki known as the Jinkuuho), such as the Tanooki. Additionally, there are two systems of Yokai:

Low-Class Demons
Have unusual amorphous shapes, rather like in Japanese mythology and legends. Normally, these Demons behave like animals: bloodthirsty, ravenous, violent and quite restless. However, some Humans and High-Class Demons keep them as companions and friends. One such example is Roach, who helps Saitoru Mahogany with his research. LCDs are often Continental-level individuals in terms of power, and some might peak at Planetary.

High-Class Demons
Resemble regular humans in every way, shape and form: they are civilized individuals with heavy involvement in economics, science, politics and community service (some High-Class Demons volunteer their time to assist elderly humans in Gendaishi). The power reservoir of a HCD is enormous: the weakest HCD is much stronger than the strongest LCD. They can access additional forms to strengthen their base statistics, and often are considered Galaxy-level beings with access to several different Cores.

High Class Demons are assigned a rank according to several attributes that must be met as the individual develops and completes its training regime to officially enter the battlefield:


 * 1) Soldier
 * 2) Militant
 * 3) Demon Lord
 * 4) Emperor/Empress
