is a name.




SUMMARY

Seimei is an onmyoji, an astronomer whose studies also allow him to deal with the supernatural, in service of the noble court of Heian-kyo. When he decides to show up, at least. Seimei is known as rude, sarcastic, and insubordinate throughout the capital, along with many other unsavory rumors such as being the child of a fox. Even so, he's undoubtedly the best at what he does, so they keep him around both to enjoy his services and in fear of what may happen if personally provoking his wrath.

More often than not, though, all he really wants is to be left alone.


Spoilers beyond this point.



ABILITIES

Spiritual Sense -
Seimei was born with immense, innate spiritual power. One way this manifests is in sensing and seeing spiritual phenomena, able to clearly see spirits and demons even as a child when well trained adults couldn't.

Onymodo - (quick wiki link for the actual historical practice)
Seimei is very well learned and skilled in the science of onmyodo. Most of his skills below stem from this.

Shikigami -
Seimei can bind a spirit to a paper doll to act as his servant. Notably, once made into a shikigami, these spirits cannot speak.

Exorcism -
The ability to cleanse a human ghost from existence. If unwanted this process is painful, but if the ghost is at peace all goes smoothly.

Barriers -
Protective barriers, usually held in place by paper talismans or other spiritually significant objects. These barriers can either keep those inside unseen, keep a spirit in, or keep a spirit out.

Thaumaturgy -
This is the "etc" category because a few things we see him do just don't fall nicely into one. Think of it in D&D terms as minor, harmless spells, like lighting a candle or making a slip of paper float.



AU

For an easier time in crosscanon threads, if so desired.

WIP WIP WIP, I'll write up some stuff here eventually




EXTRA

Wishlist

  • Castmates in general!

  • ✧˖°.♥♡Hiromasa♡♥.°˖✧. For real though, if shipping isn't your bag I'm more than happy to play things purely platonic.

  • Crosscanon with people who know a different Seimei. Your FATEs, Shonen Onmyojis, Shopping Arcades, Kuons, you name it. ESPECIALLY from other Baku Yumemakura adaptations.

  • Those different Seimeis.

  • Foxes who sense/smell kin in him and won't let him ignore it.

  • Other onmyoji, or other magic practitioners in general. Let them talk shop!
