Shi no Baku are a closed species.

You are not allowed to create your own without permission under this name. Created on January 1st, 2016 by REDs33sALL

Shi no Baku

Singular: Shi no Baku

Plural: Shi no Baku's

Pronounced: Sh-ee n-oh Ba-koo

Meaning: 'Dream Eater of Death' in Japanese. Aka, D.E.D. yokai.


Introduction

Shi no Baku are yokai that eat nightmares.


To summon them, one must write the kanji character of the Baku in chalk on the wall or headboard above their heads before going to sleep. The yokai use this as a portal. Beware, if you wake while the Shi no Baku is feeding, your soul will be devoured along with their meal


"As you sleep within your bed,

Fear creeps it’s way into your head.

A figure you’ve never seen before.

Frightens you to the very core.

You run and run, but get nowhere.

Reliving the same terrifying nightmare.

Trapped in terror.

Nothing more rarer.

Comes the birth of a Shi no Baku."

-Reds33sall


Species Origin

Japan


Life and Death

Born from fear, a Shi no Baku is created when a sleeping human has a night terror, but is unable to wake up. Thus the fear manifests itself, creating the yokai spirit.

Night terrors only occur within 1-6% of children and 1% adult humans. Resulting in the rarity of the Shi no Baku.

These yokai spirits will only die if their soul sphere completely empties.


Gender

90% of Shi no Baku are males. Females only come into existence when a pregnant human has a night terror.


Diet

Nightmares, dreams of stress and anguish and life force.


Feeding

A human is asleep when Shi no Baku feed. They extract the bad dreams through the mouth. They only need to be a few feet away or closer to do so. Mask must be removed to feed.


Supernatural Abilities

  • Consume dreams and life force

  • Sense ominous auras

  • Open portals with soul spheres

  • Become translucent (invisibility)

  • See with closed eyes

  • Third eye (Hidden)


Third Eye

When a Shi no Baku closes their eyes, they have the ability to open a third eye. This third eye is never visible when their eyes are open. This eye can be anywhere on their body, but most appear on the forehead, palms of hands or the neck. The third eye is completely black. It’s purpose is to see into dreams and nightmares when a Shi no Baku makes physical contact.


Age

Age has no consequence to this species. The larger their horns, the longer they've survived. Visa versa, the smaller, the younger.


Physical Traits

All Shi no Baku have...

  • Face mask

  • Soul sphere

  • Elf-like pointed ears

  • Horns

  • Fluff tail/tailless

  • Ofuda/shipu - a talisman hung from their horns or antlers.

  • Black sclera

  • Discolored finger tips


Mask

A Shi no Baku must always wear it's mask unless it is feeding to keep the stored souls from seeping out. Loss of souls from sphere may result in death.


Soul Sphere

Where the Baku store their devoured human souls. Most are stored in the hair of the yokai spirit, tucked in a braid and sometimes in the tufts of their tails. Preferable to keep the sphere full. Too much soul seepage can result in temporary loss of abilities, weakness and death. It's also used to open portals. They are connected to their soul sphere. It is there life source and without it they will die.


Clothes

Kimonos, yukatas, hanten, jittoku, tabi (split socks), zori/geta (sandals) tasuki cords, monpe, and haori/hakamas.

Some wear casual clothing.


Dream Catcher Antlers and Tails

Antlers and tail weaved with the Shi no Baku's own life line. They are amongst the rarest of the yokai for their ability to hide themselves in the dream world. Those born with only a dream catcher tail do not possess this ability, but they are able to capture a human's dreams.


For Your Protection

It is dangerous to approach a Baku while feeding. Thus, a talisman is hung from their horns to ward off other creatures. The kanji character for Baku as shown above.


Mating

  • Shi no Baku

It's not uncommon for two Shi no Baku to become involved. By transferring souls from one to the other forms a fusion between them. Mating them for life. In this occurrence, both Shi no Baku would be able to sense their companion no matter where they were.

  • Humans/Others

There have been cases when a Shi no Baku involves itself with a human or non-human. This can be very dangerous, so proceed with caution. Even though a Baku can go without a mask for a certain period of time, they are unaware when soul seepage may occur. Newer Shi no Baku do not share the same self control as a much longer resident of the world would have learned. As which there have been times of death during intimacy. Please take caution.


Ancient Shi no Baku [Extinct?]

Thought to be extinct, these ancients were born during primal times. It has been said that ancients have the ability to stop time and live in a single moment. They were also known to even steal youth from children to stay young and beautiful. Ancient Shi no Baku have two very distinctive features: multiple antlers (racks) and bicolored sclera. Their clothing is usually decadent and extravagant traditional wear like jūnihitoe and kariginu, including gold and jewels. Ancients thought of themselves as superior to all other beings.


A Little Culture

They're mostly loners. They rarely communicate with one another unless they venture into another Shi no Baku's territory. They can be very territorial as such. Because they're born from fear, most of them have a sour disposition. Consorting with humans is not forbidden, but is frowned upon by most Ancient Shi no Baku.

Happy Holidays Everyone!!

🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄


I decided to hold a FREE myo event on 12/25/19 Christmas Day. 6:00 am - 12:00 am Eastern Time.

Three closed species will be available to choose from. All common and uncommon traits will be free. You may use 1 rare trait on one myo. If you desire an added rare or extinct trait, it’ll only be  $1 usd for each added trait.

This is a 2 day event. Each person may design up to a maximum of 3 myo’s for this event.

You’ll have all of Christmas Day to turn in your requests for a Shi No Baku, Audio Byte, and/or Boundy. (Must be 18+ for Boundy) And one day to turn in your designs.

To join this event, the only thing I request of you is to tag 2 friends and make a journal about this event. Oh and use the code, Max and I are planning to steal Christmas. This way of course, I’ll know if you read everything.

I think that’s everything. Again this event doesn’t start until Christmas Day. It’ll only be 2 days bc I’m giving you a decent heads up, lol.

Been awhile since I actively opened commissions, but these are a few drawings I did for artfight this passed season and a couple personal drawings. Headshots and busts only right now. Traditional art will be done quicker of course. I choose if it’s headshot or bust if it’s done traditionally based on your oc. PayPal only. Price includes PayPal fee.

I hope my prices are fair. I’m still unsure of my style, but it’s basically shojo, I suppose. I’ve been kinda working on bishie as well. Still pretty random, but I have examples below.

These are all free hand. If you’d like a half body or full, I can use a base I’ve paid for and it would only cost $8-$10 pending on the detail of the oc.

Won’t:
Furries
Anthros
Mecha
Couples (rn)

Traditional headshot/bust: $3.40
