[X] No Objection to the Oni

To me the fact that they are human like fits perfectly in this world its just another bipedal race like troll just you know civilized, maybe we can civilize troll but didn't try, i mean the other emperor could kinda.
 
Honestly theres really no problem with the oni i think some people thought they break the no human rule of mlp but it is your quest so they are fine.

I know but I wanted to address the issue rather than risk it becoming an actual problem later on. I want to make a quest that everyone enjoys, and that means being receptive to any feedback or criticism.

Titles: Emperor of Gryphus, King of Griffonia, Inheritor of the Imperial House of Gryphus, The Unifier, Great Winged Alpha

Description: Before your wife got her talons on you, you were a fairly typical example of the Griffon species. An unmistakably masculine build, a strong, prominent beak, feathers and fur that seem to be perpetually well-groomed, and a pair of piercing amber eyes hiding a fierce intelligence. Not anymore though. Oh, you still have all those qualities, they're just overshadowed by the massive amount of muscle you've put on since you started your wife's "enhanced training regimen". Your wings can lift dumbbells, and your legs are like tree-trunks supporting a barrel chest rippling with abdominal muscles. In short, you have the build of a person who has been lifting heavy objects his entire life.

Imperial Army Morale: 70/100 (Above Average)

Imperial Army Numbers: 21,000

-10,000 Warriors: Armed with a sword or hand-axe and shield, these Griffons make up the bulk of your army.

-5000 Polearms: For keeping your enemy at arms length or taking down opponents larger than a Griffon.

-5000 Archers: Griffons with bows and some arrows. Not much else to say.

-1000 Diamond Dogs: Armed with a variety of swords, war axes, and other weapons suitable for close-quarters, Diamond Dogs are masters of subterranean combat, and are well suited to ambush tactics.

-5 Mobile Ballistae: Massively oversized mechanical bows that fire bolts big enough to pierce through tree trunks from vast distances.

-4 Cannons: Firing iron balls through the power of explosive black powder, these metal siege engines are one of the most powerful weapons in your arsenal.

-6 Flame Projectors: A product of Archimedes's "liquid fire", these static contraptions can shoot jets of flaming liquid vast distances, burning all in their path.



Knightly Orders (Self Maintained): In the old Empire, Knightly Orders were typically made up of Griffons of noble birth who joined a fraternal militant organization dedicated to martial excellence, honor, and a number of various edicts of moral strength. These great warriors dedicated themselves to the Emperor and the protection of the common Gryph. Tragically, few of these brave souls survived the reign of Discord. But a new breed of Knights now seeks to serve as your sword and shield, and will rally to your banner whenever you may need them.

Persons of Interest


???: A friendly and strangely casual Griffon female you met at your inaugural ball. Despite having a wonderful evening chatting with her, you never got her name.

Garibaldi Talonuelli: Formerly the Duke of Wingbardy, now the Grand Duke of Wingbardy, Talonuelli is a beloved public figure in his home province and an experienced administrator. After saving his city and people from Brochard's attempted invasion and negotiating his province's vassalage over a few drinks, you'd like to think you can count him among your friends.

Federico Montefeathertro: Duke of the (former) City-State of Urbirdo, and your Father-in Law. He might just be the friendliest of the former Feathersians, having agreed to back you and your kingdom without question or condition during the Brochard Crisis, and hiring a mercenary outfit as a belated wedding gift. You're reasonably certain he likes you, as much as In-Laws can like each other anyway.
 
[X] Remove the Oni

It's not a huge deal, but if I had the option to not include them, I'd personally take it. They don't feel like they fit the aesthetic.

Though you could make changes to their aesthetic and it would be fine. I'm mostly bugged by the fact that they look both so muscular and so humanish. The minotaurs look comically inhuman, their upper bodies are far out of porportion to their legs which look tiny. The Oni follow human porportions.

[X] No Objection to the Oni

As far as I'm concerned at some point Discords chaos happened to a troll tribe and suddenly there are oni around.
It wouldn't even be that weird a thing considering what he ca do.
 
should we try and find a troll tribe and see if we can get them to join us? Brochard had a elite unit of trolls
 
[X] No Objection to the Oni

Hey, I know your profile picture is from Kumagawa but try repeating after me.
They are CRYSTAL LOOOOOOVE ((yes, joking xD))
Always loved Medaka Box (so underappreciated, they stopped the anime just when it reached the good parts!), and Kumagawa is a very interesting character with a VERY interesting set of powers. AND YET HE NEVER WINS! :p

Is "CRYSTAL LOOOOOVE" a reference i'm not getting, or should i take it at face value?

should we try and find a troll tribe and see if we can get them to join us? Brochard had a elite unit of trolls
my personal theory is "Changeling Mind Control".
