ORIGIN

yokukiris are fragments born from the shattered remnants of celestial blessings, fusing with the essence of the earth. this bond gives them a deep understanding of human desires and emotions, stirring within them a longing to grant wishes. each yokukiri carries one of four unique blessings, which are fortune, love, wealth, and protection.

BEHAVIOR & CONNECTION

by instinct, yokukiri are drawn to a hidden realm known only to them, a sacred place we call yokukiri shrine. this ethereal realm floats above the earth, untouched by time, with its own vast sky illuminated by countless shooting stars. each streak of light represents a human wish, flickering across the heavens as the yokukiri watch over them. they like to gather with their friends to harvest these wishes from the sky, attempting to grant them. If successful, they gain wish essence, which is stored in their divine bond ribbons. the more wish essence a yokukiri accumulates, the more powerful they become and the higher their success rate in granting wishes. this realm is invisible and inaccessible to other species, including humans.

ABILITIES

guidance of fate

yokukiri can guide fates, steering humans toward paths aligned with their desires. this power weaves fate and wish fulfillment, ensuring alignment with a human's true desires. however, success depends on the yokukiri's strength and unforeseen obstacles.

telepathy & semi-shapeshifting

yokukiri can communicate telepathically with chosen humans, forming deep mental bonds. they can also adjust their size and appearance to blend into human society, though the extent of this ability depends on their power.

wish binding

yokukiri can bind themselves to a human's specific wish, becoming more powerful the longer they stay connected to that individual. this bond serve as a source of strength but can be broken if the human's wish is abandoned or been turns into greed.

LIMITATION & WEAKNESS

once yokukiri accepts a human's wish, they are bound to it. abandoning the vow would not only diminish their power but also distrupt the delicate balance of fate. yokukiri commitment is a reflection of their nature, ensuring that they honor their promises and stay dedicated to fulfilling the desire they choose to nurture. if a human's wish becomes selfish or corrupt, it can turn against the yokukiri, weakening their power or even causing it to become powerless.
