Hankami

The Hankami (半神, Half God) is a race described as "the true gods of the spiritual world". However, in reality, they stand between the middle of deities (e.g. the Soul King) and souls (e.g. Shinigami). They are capable of appearing as physical beings and displaying traits that are akin to the souls of the afterlife as well as human beings. Their power, however, is far greater and complex than the normal nature of the Soul Society and the World of the Living. They are extremely rare in population, only a few showing up every century under supernatural conditions. The most recent group of Hankami known is Red Sun, a group of deities destined to bring Paradise to both the physical and spiritual worlds.
