Mushi



=Outsider (Oni) - Mushi= Description

These beings of high dimensional existence are regarded as pure forces of nature. Most act in pure neutrality, in respect to the force of Ether, ImaKKamI (imakkami), which plays a mysterious role in allowing all things to exist together. All mushi, in essence, belong to this imakkami force. Mushi are beings of existence that play behind the scenes, responsible for a rustle of leaves or a gust of wind. In addition to mixed mushi, there also exist both light (Kami-based) and dark (Imak-based) mushi. Describing how they appear is incredibly difficult. Some appear as glowing amoebas, others, exotic insects, and the most rare mushi might be as large as clouds with legs hundreds of feet in length. They are elemental beings of a higher type of existence and can only ever be seen through the most deep visions. Only attuned people, shamans known as "Mushishi" - who appear less than once in a blue moon - can actually see them. The amount of times they are seen varies on how skilled/talented the mushishi is, how much they have opened their spiritual third eye, and how much they can actually bear before being turned into complete madness by sight of these creatures.

Mushi are responsible for things such as wellbeing, or sickness. Mostly, they are responsible for very bizarre phenomenon, such as defects or strange abilities in people. This happens when a mushi inhabits a person. A talented mushishi knows how to draw away mushi when they are up to ill things. A mushishi also naturally acts as a magnet for the appearance of mushi.

Sightings

Mushi are found everywhere, typically. They linger around places with high amounts of energy. They tend to linger around individuals with high amounts of ki, and are known to frequent shrines, temples, and spiritual places. Only those known as "Mushishi" can see mushi.
