I am making demon slayer characters similar to demons but, for my own personal OC lore, are like a different offshoot of them. In my OC lore there have been offshoots of them, starting with the fact that in my OC lore they do not use blood demon art but rather a different art technique called void runes art. More on that later. The goal is to have their powers be as stupid as possible.

Void runes art: 

Bakukuma (the mammoth bear):
void runes art - engulfment: literally manipulates gravity around him just so he could pull anybody into his mouth and eat them Kirby style. This one specifically is used on one or more people

Void runes art - sinkhole: same as engulfment but used on a wider radius

Void runes art - mindseep: this helps him consume the thoughts inside a demon’s minds. This gives demons a brief memory loss and they forget what they are about to do. The catch is that the demons must be unaware of Bakukuma’s whereabouts and they must be completely still.

Tsuchikujira (the taleless whale):
void runes art - seer sight: able to see all events that are happening around her at a wide radius, which would sound very handy if it had a longer duration. Otherwise it only lasts as fast as a flash before one’s eyes

Nekubake (the lantern cat)
Void runes art - hopscotch: able to teleport from place to place. Also sounds really handy if it had not been for the fact that, even if he might teleport to the right place, where he teleports is unpredictable, meaning he could spawn in the midst of a battle.

Umiryu (the sea serpent)
Void runes art - flipside: basically is able to flip the area around him upside down, as well as break the fabrics of reality around him but at a rather small radius.

In the OC lore, there are occasions where Muzan infused his blood in a couple of animals to create himself a new uppermoon or, better yet, a strong form that he could host. However, when testing the batch of animals he found, rather than transform into true demons, the blood transfusion had a different effect. This is because, unbeknownst to Muzan, these animals ate a large amount of spider lilies greater than what even Nezuko has consumed, to the point the blood transfusion not only did not have a full effect but changed them into something different. First thing is that these creatures are not capable of performing blood demon art, as they are outright not interested in human flesh or even the flesh of their own kind. The do however bear the powers resembling that of ghosts or poltergeists, able to walk through walls, teleport and even telekinesis. One even managed to gain the powers to warp reality around him at a feverdreamish state (that is at a small radius). This earned them the name of Yurei, which are essentially neutral demons or perhaps even not demons at all. in order to master the techniques of Void Runes Art, TsuchiKujira, the taleless whale, made a language system that is spoken similar to morse code using ideographic symbols to represent different techniques, coming to be known as the void runes.

People of reddit. Demon slayer fans and redditors alike. I have come to you all in search of feedback. I need help creating OCs with breathing styles that must be as stupid as possible. I am talking about pigs-flying levels of moronicness. Borderline asinine. It cannot be something as basic as fart breathing. It has got to be as though the two lingering brain cells you had in the shower suddenly knocked heads with each other and that’s where you got your shower thought. Get wonky. Get kooky. Get absolutely wacky. I need these breathing styles to be so dumb it is enough to make Rengoku frown, so stupid that Inosuke might take it as competition, so idiotic that it is enough to break Shinobu’s calm demeanor and have her say “Let me just let my demons out for a second. You guys are an insult to all demon slayers and the art of breathing in its entirety. You wasted all the training we have ever fostered in you for something as stupid as breathing bubbles! I can’t- it’s so stupid it is not even funny I- I need to hurt someone I actually need to hurt someone”. Let me know your thoughts:

Amanogawa Hoshizora 
Bubble Breathing…literally a form of water breathing and fire breathing that makes small bubbles which, if popped, poofs enough fire just enough to singe the demon’s eyes. He could barely learn the two on their own so he just forged them together to make bubbles

Bubble breathing, first form: kiss on the cheek: basically shoots a bubble out that puffs out fire on the demon’s face when it pops.

Bubble breathing, second form: ball park: basically a mine field

Bubble breathing, third form: 8 in the hole: able to shoot several bubbles at different targets at once by knocking a bubble with his sword like it is a game of 8pool

Bubble breathing, forth form: Meteor shower: basically raining bubbles

Bubble breathing, fifth form: Hot potato: basically gives a demon a bubble bomb like jerry cheekishly giving a stick of dynamite to tom.

Shimizu Ruri
Mirror breathing or shard breathing: she can harness the power of the sand with flame and stone breathing to create glass shards…sounds cool right?...All she does is show a reflection of her victim that’s uglier than who they actually are and, although nobody sees the visual effects of the breathing styles, the moment the reflection is pointed towards the victim they are induced with a great amount of body dysphoria…that is it. One form. One motive.

Shard breathing, first form: self reflection: basically points a single shard at a demon which instantly makes them insecure.

Shard breathing, second form, mirror room: forms a circle of mirrors around a demon. It is like self reflection but packs a tougher punch for more strong spirited demons.

Shard breathing, third form: Hall of mirrors: used to attack multiple demons at once.

Shard breathing, fourth form, black mirror: the demon’s reflection starts slandering the demon in front of it which floods the demon’s head with doubt and existential dread

Takeda Tomoe
Spicy breathing: she mastered the art of sun breathing just to make the mouths of demons pant, drool and have them sweating and fanning their scorched tongues like they ate something spicier than a ghost pepper…and yes the demons even get diarrhea after if they are still alive

Spicy breathing, first form: dragons breath: used to attack a single demon.

Spicy breathing, second form, cook fest: used to attack multiple demons and makes their mouths so hot that smoke starts fuming out of them.

Spicy breathing, third form, drooling dogs: also used on multiple demons but has them drooling till they literally dry up like raisins.

Spicy breathing, fourth form: the scorch of hell: basically makes the demon’s mouth so hot it stings horribly. While the other forms make the mouths hot, this one feels as though a venomous snake unknown to man has bitten on your tongue. The tongue literally starts bleeding.

Spicy breathing, fifth form, pepper pinch: makes the nasal cavities of demons so hot it has them sneezing

Yasumoto Mizuki 
Coffee breathing: cause who needs coffee when you can just frickin breathe and that is enough to give you an espresso shot level of power. Derived from water breathing, this form of breathing courses through the veins of it’s user to give them fluid movement and immeasurable strength. They can just be standing mid battle, probably sipping on a latte, and if a demon even tries to come close they get karate chopped. The downside of using this breathing style however is that it makes his mouth parched and has him holding in his bladder gallons of urine after every battle.

Coffee breathing, first form, Dark roast: this helps heighten his focus and grants him swift movement.

Coffee breathing, second form, espresso shot!: gives him the power to pack a solid blow.

Coffee breathing, third form, double cream: he uses this when he doesn’t want to fight and needs a mid battle coffee break

Suzukaze Kazane
Bamboo Breathing. She just really loves the look and the vibes of bamboo. After mastering the entirety of water breathing, he realized that she doesn't need to adapt if she... Doesn't move. In fact, his style is all about sucker punching... Or sucker slaying. She stands so still that demons pass her by, when they realize she's there then it is too late and they are already decapitated. Her philosophy revolves around this, "people don't really go through a bamboo forest and admire a single bamboo. I will be the bamboo that they don't notice."

Bamboo breathing, first form, laying twig!: basically lays on the ground and, shockingly enough, demons cant see her

Bamboo breathing, second form: Dense forest: stands still amidst a dense forest of bamboo, essentially rendering herself “invisible”

Bamboo breathing, third form, Walking tree: moves swiftly while staying as stiff as a bamboo to not draw attention to herself

Bamboo breathing, forth form: Tripping wire: lays in front of running demons so they run over her.

Harukaze Kiyo 
Art breathing: with a watercolor themed breathing style she can bring anything she imagines into life to assist her in fighting. Mythical beasts, raining swords, literally anything…but instead she just forges a bunch of stickmen to fight for her

Art breathing, first form, art block: paints a giant square that lands on demons and squishes them.

Art breathing, second form, blotch splash: basically creates walking blotches that latch onto demons till they get overwhelmed.

Kiyama Rion 
Tsun tsun breathing: AKA poke poke breathing. Derived from thunder breathing, one poke of his loooooong sword is enough to make a demon cry and jump to the sky like tom from tom and jerry when he gets stabbed in the butt by a pitch fork. Depending on which nodes she pokes on your body, a demon can go from dancing to the most violent and erratic seizure.

Tsun Tsun breathing, first form,Prick of the pine: a simple poke with a simple shock.

Tsun Tsun breathing, second form, Stubbed toe: also a simple poke with a stronger punch but on the demon’s toe.

Tsun tsun breathing, third form, Kidney pinch: also a simple poke with an even stronger punch than before but on the hip or kidney area

Tsun Tsun breathing, fourth form: Pins and needles: pokes you several times till you go numb

Tsun tsun breathing, fifth form: Epileptic feverdream: shocks you well enough to put you in a seizure

Tsun tsun breathing, sixth form: Tap dance: basically shocks your feet and other nodes in your body at a quick pace to the point a demon will be dancing against his will.

Tsun tsun breathing, sixth form: Spider crawls: sends a shock up a demon’s spine that feels like bugs are crawling all over their body.

Tsun tsun breathing, seventh form, Jellyfish field: the entire field around the demon starts to shock them

Kasumi Kageko
Wisp breathing: he mastered the art of fire breathing only enough to emit wisps of scented smoke or clouds of smog which has an odd effect of making demons feel lethargic and weak as if they were in a sauna. On top of that he is also a ghost which means he can wisp through walls and render himself invisible so he can attack easier.

Wisp breathing, first form, lavender fumes: basically makes demons sleepy

Wisp breathing, second form, Wisteria waft: turns the space around demons into a gas chamber

Now you may ask yourself “why are these breathing techniques so stupid? And how did these demon slayers even manage to survive?”. Well according to their lore these ragtag bunch of demon slayers back when they were students always received the same kind of feedback: their fighting skills are actually quite okay, especially with quick dodges. But as for mastering a breathing style, they could not do it for the life of them. Each one of these guys felt like they were getting nowhere with their breathing styles and stood no chance to survive as demon slayers. But that didn’t stop them. This group of demon slayers were passionate about saving people’s lives seeing how the hashira saved theirs back before they were demon slayers. So they decided that if they couldn’t master a breathing style that is on par with the hashira, let alone the other demon slayers, then they would just have to get creative. And so they went on their own and worked on their breathing techniques with all that they knew, eventually landing on the breathing techniques they have now which, although incredibly basic and limited, was made up for their battle strength and agility as well as their mastery in stealth. It still didn’t save them well enough though as they still got their scars, broken bones and stab wounds. Would actually mastering a breathing style actually manage to help them receive less injuries than they did? Oh yeah, absolutely! But mastering a breathing technique is hard work, and trying to master the breathing style like the other demon slayers do will only hold them back in progress further. So if they can’t be like the others, they will gladly be castaways who live by their own rules.
