Rinshi

The Rinshi are the Dai Shi's army of fear that he revived. They wield lances and do all his dirty work for him. The Rinshi live off of people's fear, the more afraid you are the stronger they grown and become. They wear  blind  folds over their eyes, but when certain Rinshi are promoted to a higher rank with a animal symbol on their forehead, they take on a new form, a Rinshi Beast.
