Obviously if I want to reuse them later (assuming they aren't already) I can make them more powerful by simply adding Ninja levels however I was interested in the idea of having "corrupted" ones who rather than simply working for money are actually possesed and I'd like to get feedback on these templates, storyline.
In order to further their dark plans the 5 storms gained control of the Frozen Shadow Ninja clan. Although most operations are still carried out by ordinary men and women some special tasks or those that might strain even the loyalty of their dark assasins require a different approach. To this end they deliberate insert an Oni spirit into their sacrificial victim creating a demon Ninja. These Ninja come in three ranks representing their power although the more powerful they are the harder it is for them to pass as human.
ONI Possesed
At the weakest level are those who have recently been possesed and while the Oni posseses the skills of the person it has consumed the only visible sign of these beings is their are a solid dully gleaming red and their skin becoming slightly leathery. As this stage rare rituals are still capable of expelling the ONI and rescuing the possesed person.

Skinwalker
As the demons power continues to corrupt the host the skin continues to toughen and take on a golden colour, their fingernails and teeth become sharper as the human soul weakens and is slowly being devoured. The Oni can still be expelled but the original host is always damaged mentally by the feel of their very being slowly being consumed and often completely mad.
