Moribito
Guardians and protectors whose power is tied to human-form Oni-blood awakening.
Multi-universe expansion
Many worlds. One affinity spine.
Chosen can visit different universes while preserving a common rules language through Fire, Water, Wood, Metal, Earth, Yin, and Yang.
World 01
Yamataikoku / Tenzan
Yamataikoku is the primary eastern-inspired world of Chosen. Tenzan is the current flagship region: mountain passes, shrines, Gate defense, ancient spirits, ritual practice, Moribito duty, Oni blood, and Yin/Yang awakening.

Onibito
Rare high-power Moribito with partial Oni-form and mostly retained self-control.
Kakuseisha
Awakened Ones: a formal identity for those touched by deeper transformation.
Gates
Structures, ritual borders, battlefield objectives, and portals to world power.
Breath and vow
Tenzan should read as ritual, training, discipline, promise, and controlled sacrifice.
True Oni
Failed or uncontrolled awakening: physically transformed, dangerous, and scenario-ready.
Fire
Pressure, momentum, impulse, decisive strikes, and ignition.
Water
Flow, defense, redirection, control, memory, and adaptation.
Wood
Growth, reach, roots, formation, renewal, and expansion.
Metal
Precision, edge, discipline, pierce, structure, and refinement.
Earth
Stability, mass, protection, gates, terrain, and endurance.
Yin / Yang
Phase, polarity, shadow, light, hidden power, and awakening.
Future worlds
Different cultures can express the same seven affinities differently.
Ishtalia, for example, can make Magic a discrete setting identity while still mapping back to the seven universal affinities for threshold, Offering, and interaction. Worlds should express their own language without breaking the shared rules spine.
