Greater NPCs are faction leaders or powerful individuals. Three Greater NPCs are chosen at random to appear sometime within each chapter, if possible. Their selection can drastically change the environment, kinds of enemies, or course of the role-play, and may kill other NPCs or interfere with subplots.

They are not necessarily allied to one other, and may not even be your enemy.

Once all Greater NPCs are defeated or dealt with, the roleplay progresses to the Final Chapter, which has hidden Greater NPCs and then the Final Boss.





Ulaan Muunokhoi

Standing at around two meters tall, Muunokhoi is a huge, fearsome, fearless Mongol warlord, a master of strength, the bow, and the whip. Having spent most of his career throughout mainland East Asia, he and his raiders have acquired some Chinese boats and Korean warhorses, and set sail for greater challenges in Japan. This is the first time Mongols have attacked Japan since Kublai Khan long ago.





Kibou Matsuzaka

Although not a daimyo, this Kensei commands an army, somewhat of a minor warlord serving his own purpose. He used to fight for Daku Akuma, but irreconcilable differences ended their comradeship. Half of Daku's army joined Kibou, and after an indecisive battle, Daku and Kibou became bitter rivals.





Sovoloth

A mysterious dragon-demon standing at twenty feet tall, with unusual bodily proportions. Additional limbs increase his biological capabilities. Although his torso is not very broad, he is nevertheless a frightening, poky foe. He was once attacked by Rex, but fought him off and escaped.

Pirate Lord Wang Zhi

Hailing from Huangshan, he is a successful pirate, trader, smuggler, and raider. Wang is the leader of a vast criminal syndicate with its headquarters in the Goto Islands. Curiously enough, years ago, Wang was captain of a sailing ship carrying Portuguese sailors who were shipwrecked on Tanegashima, where he acted as an interpreter and translator for the Portuguese. Having established a good relationship, Wang made deals and negotiations, acquiring European technology and even a galleon for his wako operations.





Ancient ôgumo

A term referring to a horrific and gigantic spider-demon, some of the rarest and oldest oni. They can inject and eject venom through their fangs, and use their webs to entrap victims, making them extremely dangerous monsters.





Hodeskallemorder

10'4'', 900 lbs.
A huge demon from Scandinavia, he likes to crush skulls and kill monsters. His peculiar dragon skull gauntlet is both a weapon and a shield. Once fought a multi-tailed lupine fellow, assuming an easy match, but the damn doggy kept dodging his attacks while casting black fires at him. Before he could snap the mutt's head off, it darted away.





Manticore Oni

The mixing of an Ancient Greek monster and Japanese oni, this powerful, deadly, frightening monster possesses a stinger that injects venom. A chitinous lower body serves as its own armour. He primarily hunts and eats humans.





Praetorian

Animalistic fury and brutality, an exoskeleton, claws, fangs, bladed tail, a powerful protracting mouth-tongue, acidic blood, and a hyperaggressive mindset makes her almost unstoppable. The Praetorian can sense pheromones, so hiding from her is nearly impossible.

Captain Jacob Kwakernaak

A navigator and captain from Rotterdam working for the Dutch East India Company, his first mission to Japan nearly resulted in the deaths of the entire crew. When their damaged ship, De Liefde , made landfall off Bungo, Portuguese missionaries claimed it was a pirate vessel and that the crew should be executed.

Tokugawa Ieyasu instead ordered the ship to sail to Sakai and then Edo, where the future shogun questioned them. He used their cannons at the Battle of Sekigahara. Having established a good relationship with the future shogun, Jacob was able to redevelop his armada and trade routes.





Chaos-eater Devansh

22'5'', 2205 lbs.
The term 'Chaos-eater' refers to nightmarish disfigured flesh-monsters. Weighing a tonne, Devansh is a truly grotesque demigod, capable of summoning body horror.





Anahita

A graceful yet fierce dragon from Persia, she has explored much of the world. Resting in Japan, she plans to fly to Russia afterwards.

One time, a wyvern rather smaller than her was too flirtatious with her, so she got angry and beat him up a bit, an easy thing to do since he didn't have arms or hands. He apologized, but said he loved sass in a lass. A sharp bite to the neck made him bugger off.





Grand Necromancer Atanor

This sinister oni summons and commands forces of the underworld, which have been in conflict with Phyrexians, oni and humans alike. His forces have at least partly affected the main islands of Japan. He has a strong desire to fight Phyrexians and Chaos-eaters.





Pustule Oni

8'6'', 330 lbs.
This disgusting, diseased, weird oni has huge sacs that, upon bursting, erupts with poisonous pus. His big club looks quite primitive, but its size and weight are enough to crush even armoured warriors.

Qiú Mogui

An ancient Chinese dragon-demon, over a hundred feet long! A serpentine body makes him an excellent swimmer. He is fond of science, invention, business, and fireworks. He tends to be reclusive and mind his own business, but he likes to chat and negotiate.





Phyrexian Mage Yngmoth

A strange biomechanical construct, Yngmoth is a powerful conjurer of otherworldly magics. Whether Yngmoth is male or female, or neuter, is anyone's guess. Followers include mages eager to craft biomechanical minions, until All will be One ...





Butcher Buccaneer Boss Basile Belgarde

Contrary to looking like a clown, Basile is actually quite a bloodthirsty man. He is not necessarily interested in wealth, fame, or booty, but seems to be motivated by bloodlust and his hatred of the Spanish and British. Many of his fellow pirates share a similar mindset.

He began his career in the Carribean, attacking Spanish vessels, dockyards, and waterfronts, where he and his men would maim foes and victims and put them on hooks to die, hence his nickname. Through horror, he soon became a leader of several buccaneer groups, getting his second alias. He has since sailed to Japan for bloodily exotic adventures!





Tick-Tock

An enigmatic mechanical entity. Its metal body makes it quite resistant to conventional medieval weaponry. Although looking like an undead or rusted Phyrexian, Tick-Tock is their enemy, and has a tendency to attack just about anything for no reason! As it approaches 12:00 AM...





Elijinn

A reclusive greater oni who is also a sea monster, capable of using lungs and gills. He can still roll and flop on land, though this is neither graceful nor serious. Contrary to his monstrous size and appearance, he is friendly to sentient beings. He once tried to eat an endless oni, but it didn't work.

Sadakazu

If he injects all three stingers into one person, the result is instant death. Even the bravest should find this unnerving. A natural panoply of an exoskeleton, horns, pincers and stingers makes him a difficult foe to defeat.





Bloodlust Demon

''Fight... ME!!! '''





Daku Akuma , Munesuke no Mamushi

Years ago, Tsunamura ascended the throne from his father, Tsunamune, who was arrested in Kyoto for drunkenness. The ensuing mismanagement and feuding of Tsunamura and his uncles, Muneyoshi and Munekatsu, resulted in the Date Sôdô, creating ten years of inflation, chaos, and violence in the north.

Aki, a Date relative, personally complained to the shogunate, but not even the Metsuke or Tairo could solve the problems. Amidst questioning, a retainer named Harada Kai Munesuke, who supported Tsunamura, was confronted by Aki. They drew swords, and Aki was slain. In turn, the guards killed Harada. Since Harada drew first, his sons and grandsons were executed and the family destroyed. Tsunamura's family was spared but his uncles punished.

The giant Kensei known as Daku Akuma commands an army of ronin and ikko-ikki. He is assumed to be a surviving relative of Harada's slain family, seeking vengeance against the shogunate. Thus, his alias, the Viper of Munesuke, alludes to his ruthlessness. He carves a bloody swathe wherever he goes.





Ichtacka Mixcoatl

Also imbued with the power of thunder and lightning, this old boy is not to be underestimated. His old age means he can't fly or run very far or well, so he often takes his time and walks. He used to live in the area of the Aztec Empire, but after the Spanish defeated it, he eventually reached Japan hoping for a peaceful retirement.

Chimera Oni

The mixing of an Ancient Greek monster and Japanese demon, this beast is equipped with magic, venom-injecting tail, exoskeletal back, powerful fangs and claws, and basic wings that allow gliding and limited flight. He is a flexible, versatile, dangerous monster.





Ironman Isambard

6'4'', 220 lbs.
An American sorcerer-inventor, he has created a hundred-pound mechanical suit imbued with sorcery. He can cast many kinds of Sorceries, and being covered with iron makes him nearly invulnerable to conventional weaponry.





Curse-rotted Greatwood

The Greatwood was once a spirit tree which the residents of Shikogabana would use in desperation to seal away the worst of their curses. However, these curses eventually took their toll on the tree, creating this abomination.





General Triplescar Heinrich Ludwig von Rauch

A general from Prussia, who wishes to expand German colonialism in Japan, even if it means beating the French and the Dutch to the draw. A master of tactics and strategy, his soldiers and mercenaries are drilled and eager to obey his commands. He currently has good relations with most Japanese.

Heinrich earned his nickname upon nearly being killed by someone or something that survived the battle, but he didn't get a good look.





Christian Oni

An eyeless oni embodying Christianity, he ironically uses his spiritualty to debilitate other oni. He wields a cross-less, headless image of Jesus Christ that he abuses, but can transfer the injuries of the doll into whoever he affects. He is also immune to debilitating affects of spirituality and curses from others, making him quite a unique demon indeed. Whether he is evil or not is anybody's guess. Indeed, perhaps Christianity is wholly suitable for the divine and the demonic.

Endless Oni

Over a thousand feet long, this surreal oni scurries for food, using its numerous extending tongues to grapple prey. Its extreme length seems to slightly levitate at all times, making it a good swimmer.





Fallen Brothers

12'5'', 600 lbs.
Consisting of two Karasu sorcerers, these brothers merged into one monstrous body, doubling the power of their Sorceries. Driven into madness, this two-headed combined monster now kills its uncorrupted brethren, and anything else, with magical and physical attacks, forever lost to insanity...





Rockworm

A giant worm oni with a stony exoskeleton, about a hundred feet long. Can writhe quickly, squirming along the ground or burrowing through dirt, and can swim.





The Pursuer

A mysterious, hulking, levitating knight who rides an eagle and relentlessly hunts heroes and monsters. So far, only Rahn Li and Itsuki managed to escape him.
The eagle is normally a symbol of strength, but in Lanafir it symbolizes wealth.





Heliodoros

An Ancient Greek greater satyr, imbued with the power of the sun, enabling pyromancy as bright as sunlight. When he is injured, his wounds and eyes bleed fiery light. His wings are imbued with arms, making him very versatile.





Rahn Li

A powerful, frightening, flying, insect-like demon with exoskeletal armour, able to summon lightning attacks. He keeps to the skies, attacking unsuspecting targets with swooping dives. Once attempted to slay The Pursuer, but not even his lightning powers could subdue the knight or his eagle. Rahn Li lost courage and escaped him, but is eager for revenge.

Itsuki

A strange and desperate soul, he is cursed between an undead and living form. When he dies, his body disintegrates magically, yet he lives on in a skeletal form that cannot fly but his magic is amplified. He is locked in a state of never-ending and painful reincarnation. Since many have tried to kill him for what he is, he tends to be timid.

Having endured a thousand years of an accursed life, Itsuki is going insane, yet he still believes he is the key to the world's destiny...





Daikani Kogorô

A crab oni, capable of going by land or sea. Other than having a strong exoskeleton and huge pincers, he isn't a remarkably powerful oni. He does, however, walk sideways! And can spit frothy, sticky bubbles out his mouth! Adventurers, beware!





Sabarasa

8'9'', 700 lbs.
A brutish monster from Mexico, he was captured as a child by Spaniards who killed his parents, then raised him to fight the enemies of the Spanish Empire. Now equipped in steel, the Spanish brought him to Japan to use as a living battering ram. Eventually, the monster realized his life was stolen from him. Enraged, he smashed his way through the Spanish, and escaped...





Brancaleone

A wyvern from Italy, he is a much better flyer than most dragons since his forelimbs and wings are fused. Contrary to his fierce visage, he is a rather easygoing, happy-go-lucky fellow. He once flew after Sovoloth, teasing him with petty insults.





Averna

What the hell is this? Averna's demon form is quite big and grotesque, so she remains in her human form. She only undergoes the demonic metamorphosis when she must.

Rex

A huge, aggressive wyvern from America, his arms are fused as wings, making him a good flyer despite being as big as a tyrannosaurus rex.





Merciless Watchers

They are porcine, pudgy, pale Pthumerians who wield a variety of weapons, ranging from firearms to crudely forged instruments. Although physically powerful, they are weak to ancient and holy magics.





Bloodpuker

A grotesque demon cursed with never-ending hunger for flesh and thirst for blood. Gorges on just about anything, then its stomach grinds up and mostly liquifies the meal, readying it to be regurgitated powerfully. Has only two tiny eyes but a great sense of smell.





Dancer of the Boreal Valley

A relative of Anor Londo royalty thought to have been a maiden to Gwynevere, she was an Irithyllian living in Irithyll of the Boreal Valley when it was conquered by Pontiff Sulyvahn. He forced her to be a dancer, then conscripted her into his contingent of Outrider Knights. In accordance to her vows, she was bestowed blades of power mirroring his own. Like Vordt of the Boreal Valley, the Dancer eventually devolved into a bestial warrior.





Celestia

A demonic sorceress of spatial origins, she befriended Starcatcher when she arrived on Earth, who (much to her surprise) waited for her. Since then, she explores Japan for magical artifacts and items. She is quite knowledgeable about Sorceries, and can transfer the power of her own soul unto others, teaching just about anyone at least some Sorceries.





Gaping Dragon

The Gaping Dragon is a distant descendant of the Everlasting Dragons, but its blind hunger transformed it into a deformed, toothy abomination.

Ancient Dragon

Little is known about him, though some claim he is a false deity. Rumors abound in Drangleic about the king's brother, Lord Aldia, who tried to create a dragon from the soul of a Giant. Perhaps the Ancient Dragon, and his enigmatic origins, are proof of Aldia's experiments?





Shaka

A violent, brutal, big-horned, stocky dragon from southern Africa. Thick, immense wings makes him a powerful flyer, but he lacks agility and mobility on land and skies. Massive horns serve both as weapons and protection.

He once found Rex carelessly taking a break, and rammed him in the backside. Rex spun around and the two exchanged a furious clawing and biting match, flames spewing in either direction, but the fight ended when the two were too exhausted to continue the fight.





Scarlet

She likes to enjoy the weather and mind her own business. One time, she saw a strange man in a thickly padded garb, and even as he walked past her, neither reacted. Another time, she stumbled upon an old dragon with white fur and red eyes, quite the gentleman to speak with.





Skyborne oni

Mysterious oni who descend from the sky. They sometimes suddenly appear and block flying entities.





Sir Alonne

Sir Alonne is a wandering swordsman and formerly the Iron King's right-hand man. Alonne came from the east and chose to serve the Iron King and help establish his own kingdom. When the Iron King was at the peak of his rule, Sir Alonne left him to travel the lands for an unknown reason. For his service the Iron King bestowed Alonne's name to his knights. Sir Alonne has since returned to Japan.
