Since Natsume's powers have a lot to do with how he perceives the world around him and the people he encounters, please use this post to indicate what, if anything, you want him to be able to see/hear/feel about your character! Some notes:

• If a character is a supernatural creature that specifically qualifies as a spirit, demon or ghost, that's pretty firmly in the wheelhouse of things Natsume can pick up on.
• If a character is a creature that isn't a spirit or ghost -- i.e., vampires, werewolves, etc. -- that's a little more fuzzy and can go either way. In-canon, he's shown to be able to see mermaids, kappa and various gods, but they're all from Japanese mythology specifically, so non-Japanese creatures are up for personal interpretation.
• If a character has some sort of spiritual ability -- i.e., an exorcist, priest, demonologist or someone with similar powers as him -- Natsume can sometimes feel something off about them.
• If a character's "demons" are explicitly psychological in nature -- i.e., trauma or grief that's personified in their series -- Natsume would not be able to pick up on that. He can't even pick up on his own trauma lol
• Very important caveat to all of the above: Natsume is written as extremely naturally powerful and full of potential, but he's had very, very limited training in how to harness that ability. If your character is attempting to shield or hide themselves in some way, he most likely wouldn't be able to tell what they are. It's a very passive ability. If you don't want to even address it, I'll default to assuming that Natsume can't passively pick up on anything at all.

Please use this form to indicate whether you want Natsume to be able to sense things about your character and, if so, to what extent. Thank you very much!

[milonaire]

Character name: Lucien Crown/Milo & Henry Oak
Opt-in? yes
What sort of being? Milo is a "living vampire" aka someone who has scientifically had bat DNA spliced into his human DNA. Henry is 1/4 elf, and a druid (not sure if that counts as something Natsume would be able to notice)
What can Natsume perceive? he can probably tell that Milo has killed, and that he feeds on blood. He definitely stinks of blood after he's fed, and otherwise he might smell like a bat (whatever a bat smells like). If Henry's druid-ness would be able to be picked up, then it would manifest as a sort of divine connection to the natural world around him.

Character Name: Junpei Yoshino & Dimple
Do you want to opt in to Natsume's powers?: Yup.
What sort of being is your character?: Junpei is what’s called a curse user and Dimple is an evil spirit.
If opting in, what will Natsume be able to see/feel/hear or otherwise perceive about your character? Junpei’s got some cursed energy in him, and Dimple is a (currently low powered) ghost.

Character Name: Yor Forger
Do you want to opt in to Natsume's powers?: Sure!
What sort of being is your character?: Human
If opting in, what will Natsume be able to see/feel/hear or otherwise perceive about your character? Yor is a human and her power isn't based in anything supernatural, but she is a hardcore murderer with hundreds of brutal deaths on her hands. If Nat's powers would give him the ability to sense a feeling of dread/danger from a person, he'd probably get a vibe off of her.

Character Name: Rhys Dryden
Do you want to opt in to Natsume's powers?: Yes!
What sort of being is your character?: Rhys is a dhampir, born from a vampire and human.
If opting in, what will Natsume be able to see/feel/hear or otherwise perceive about your character? Rhys isn't trying to hide what he is and he has some physical characteristics that are clearly not human (like slightly pointed ears, and sharper canines). Natsume would be able to detect this sort of supernatural, perhaps even undead, aura from him.

Character Name: Botan
Do you want to opt in to Natsume's powers?: Yes!
What sort of being is your character?: Spirit/shinigami
If opting in, what will Natsume be able to see/feel/hear or otherwise perceive about your character? Botan's a spirit who is also a shinigami/grim reaper, so the usual pings would apply! She's wandering around in her human world body in Folkmore, but even spiritually aware people in canon have picked up that she's not quite "normal" in that form, so Natsume is free to as well!
