Guaiwu

For a thousand years, it is said that the oni ravaged the world before man even conquered fire. In their wicked ways, they spread their terrible seed far and wide. They produced all manner of monstrous beasts. One such union was between an oni and a human woman (known as “Pig Woman”). Myth has it that from her all guaiwu descended. Guaiwu resemble great hulking humanoids with thick bronzed skin. They stand between six and seven feet tall and easily weigh fifty percent more than a typical human. They are naturally large and, coupled with a voracious appetite, are commonly overweight. They have a larger lower jaw and very round features. They have very little hair on their body but, where it does grow, it grows quite quickly. Guaiwu hair is wiry and strong and has even been made into makeshift ropes. It has been likened to hemp in consistency. Guaiwu have large, flat teeth but fewer in number than a typical human (only 16, rather than the normal 23). Despite their size, guaiwu have a stocky build, and the females are quite buxom. Their limbs are much thicker proportionally to a human’s; meanwhile, their fingers are generally shorter.

They are simple folk. Many are farmers or soldiers. Few hold positions requiring a great deal of tact or intelligence, and they almost never pursue careers that utilize abstract concepts. As a cultural norm, they tend to be gentle giants, despite their reputed oni origin, and have a docile nature. They represent about twenty percent of the population.
