Natsume Yuujinchou is a series dealing with youkai, Japanese folklore, spirits, kami, and the intermingling of humans with them. Specifically, the Matoba are a clan of exorcists, raised for generations with strong spiritual senses and knowledge of creatures and techniques dealing with spirits.

Generally, in-series, humans with spiritual power are referred to as "able to see". Either "youkai" or "ayakashi" are specifically used to refer to Japanese folklore spirits in the series, though "ayakashi" is used as a more umbrella term and I'll be leaning towards using that. Spirits bound to the service of an exorcist are referred to as "shiki" (shikigami).

As Matoba has strong spiritual power and the ability to sense abnormalities (and is also the manipulative sort of character to use this to his advantage), please let me know if there is anything I should know about your character and anything you'd like to opt in/out of regarding the following:
---

Is your character any manner of spirit, youkai, demon, or otherwise inhuman being? Does your character share their body with any manner of spirit, youkai, demon, Persona, etc? Matoba can't tell humans apart from ayakashi by sight alone, but he can tell more from someone's general feel- both by behavior, and when an aura is too powerful for a normal person.

If your character is human, is your character capable themselves of sensing spiritual energy, youkai, demons, etc? This is so I know what info to drop you in tag brackets!

Does your character carry any manner of object or artifact that might ping as being related to spirits, demons, the underworld, etc? He might not be able to tell if it's you or the object you're holding that's pinging! Feel free to give details based on your canon.

Are you okay with Matoba sensing your character's inhumanness/their ability to see/their magical or spiritual artifact?

Are you okay with Matoba testing your character's inhumanness/their ability to see in minor ways (such as asking intrusive questions/making references to things that require special perception/using magic on surroundings to see if they sense it?

This is a permissions and info post specifically for the mechanic of Matoba's cursed eye! Because this curse can affect other players around him and comes with a few important rules and caveats for interacting, I want to make sure everyone has a reference and can opt in/out easily.

Are you okay with Matoba testing your character's inhumanness/their ability to see in minor ways (such as asking intrusive questions, summoning his youkai servants, or chanting a spell that might have physical effects *not* on your character such as surroundings)?
