Shinjin

Born from the fruit of a magical tree found in Otherworld known as the Kaiju, Shinjin
are the natural born gods of their respective universe. However, that doesn’t make them
inherently superior, nor does it make them invincible. Many Shinjin go on to take the
rank of Kaio, also known as Lord of Worlds, whose job is to oversee one respective
galaxy. Special Shinjin born from a different type of Kaiju fruit are predestined to
become Kaioshin, also know as the Lord of Lords, a normal Kaio may be promoted to
Kaioshin if they perform exceptionally well.

While many Shinjin eventually become either a Kaio, many who haven’t been selected
for a Kaio role spend their time learning more about mortals so they can become better
guardians if they become selected as the next Kaio.

Shinjin who are rebellious and have evil hearts are called Makaio, and oversee the
Demon Realm, or simply try to sow chaos in the mortal realm.

Your Shinjin character gains the following traits, and in addition they must pick either
Kaio or Makai as a subspecies.
