So's there a difference between shikigami and regular familiars?

There is. Shikigami are less autonomous and are more or less just bound to orders by the onmyouji. Familiars can be anything but are harder to maintain.

An example of a shikigami is a car-sized origami rabbit designed to perform theft and nothing else.

Alright alright~

Last question. Probably. Is it possible to, say, take concepts from theurgy and combine them with onmyodo? What I mean is something akin to writing up an ofuda normally, and slapping a few runes or something on for good measure. Or creating an ofuda while using the theurgical process to get the cheaper cast.

More for the former than the latter, though.

I'm going to go ahead and say probably not. Ofuda are basically full-blown spells on their own, and trying to combine theurgy with them would probably make a mess of that.

I'm thinking of a character who has no magical affinities. He's an average university student from a poor family, and he has moved away from them to attend a school in the city. He found a cheap house a bit outside of town, and it is surprisingly spacious for its price, with the only downside being the travel distance to the city. The house turns out to be haunted/possessed of demons. He leaves it, tries to call the police, but they can't help him.

Then the detective company from here could have picked up on the call (Maybe you listen in on 911 calls, for situations like this?) and you guys arrive to help him out. Battle happens, his house is wrecked, and he has nowhere to live, so he tags along with you guys.

If he has to have a special ability, he'd have to have been unaware of it his whole life. I'm thinking an affinity with angels (a guardian angel) and holy powers (mainly healing).

Can we work something like this into the story? Maybe set it up as a short side-quest for you guys once everyone gets settled in. Or a major event (i.e. turns out his house has a gateway to hell/eather/wherever being set up by dark beings).

If not, I'll work on something else.

Okay, um, let's see...

I'm beginning to think some things I thought weren't relevant to this RP for the setting might be a good idea to have something about. ^^;

While a normal person could see the detective agency if deliberately aided by someone supernatural, they can't on their own. Toshiko is careful not to allow normal people to perceive the agency or come close enough that they can touch it. While a house could be haunted, it kind of depends by what(there are anything from spirits to ghosts to poltergeists and all of them are different). Demons don't possess things in this setting actually, mostly because they are very much physical living things.

Toshiko doesn't listen in on emergency phone calls since she doesn't exactly have the means to and it's not something she'd like to be caught doing. A battle at a house could happen, but as the supernatural is a secret wrecking it would be an outcome to be avoided.

While it's possible for someone from a former mage family to be unaware of any magical ability possessed by them, Angels as an affinity does not work. And, well... there's really only one type of angel that could be a "guardian angel' in this setting, and they're not technically angels and it would basically just be one of them deciding to protect someone. All the other angels are to put it simply very strange and seeing one on Earth is a bad thing.. Holy abilities and divinity cannot be granted by magic, though certain holy items have spells designed to replicated their effects(the Shroud of Turin is a divine defense mechanism, there is a spell that mimics it a closely as possible).

Finally, Hell is less a realm of evil and more a rip in the fabric of reality caused by a bit of a complicated event. There's not really any kind of plane of evil at all, there's some bad stuff but that's just in the regular world.

Best read alongside Shiinen's CS (which will probably be up in less than ten minutes), I guess?

Alrighty, I'm going to accept them.

My one request is that the Berserker state is only used when things really, really need it.
