Character
Name: Amaguni Hitoya
Canon: Hypnosis Mic

Familiar
Name: Not much of one yet. Hitoya refers to it with some of the same epithets reserved for his obnoxious team leader though.
Species: Lesser Tengu
Why did you pick this familiar for your character?: His MC name is Heaven and Hell and he's got this whole black and white theme going on (you absolutely cannot miss it). According to Buddhist lore, tengu are said to be born of spirits that were too heretical to end up in heaven, but not wicked enough to land a place in hell.
Special features: Shapeshifting!
How do they communicate?: It probably could speak if it really wants to particularly due to the shapeshifting but it spends most of its time as a regular crow making a frustrating ruckus.
Personality: Leaning hard into the mischievous, trickster personality. It's kind of an asshole but would step up if Hitoya is in danger.
Relationship with your character: Begrudging coexistence. Sometimes like a parent scolding a child because fingers aren't food.
Visuals: As mentioned, it's just a regular ass crow with the distinguishing feature of a tokin cap.

Magic
Magic Types: Cognitive and Death
Why did you pick these types for your character?: He's a lawyer so cognitive just fit the natural alignment.
Short answer for death is I flipped a coin. Long answer is Hitoya's team in canon is heavily stylized by Buddhist aesthetics and furthermore, all the members grapple with the theme of life and death in their stories. Jyushi's player and I thought it would make sense for them to share Death magic as way to tie them together.
How does your character cast their magic? Cognitive can be subtle but he's also figured out how to amplify it through the use of his Hypnosis Mic. Which means RIP to me who has to write way more bad rapping than any of ya'll deserve to read. I'M SO SORRY.
He's still figuring out Death magic since there's some drama to work through there.
How does your character feel about their magic?: It became apparent pretty quickly his life has basically been turned upside down so he's pretty enthusiastic to improve his magic abilities as a way to get ahead. Plus the cognitive stuff could be especially useful if he ever picks up practicing law again.

What magic and familiar would your character choose for themselves?: Just a familiar that is not a dick! Also maybe swap the death magic for light or dark or just something easier to manage.

I had no idea these two were crow tengu familiar buddies! I forgot to mention it in my entry, but Hijikata's also shifts into crow form ever so often (thought he prefers to appear all imposing).

AHHH okay first sorry for dropping off the face of the earth it was finals week!

But also I just wanted to say I was actually very pleased when you tagged me especially since they're tengu twins! If Hitoya meets Arashi he'll probably wonder even more what he did get end up with such a jerk himself.

No worries at all!! I know how it is... in fact I may be slow this week since I have some work deadlines coming up.

I love throwing Hijikata into rescue missions! Poor Hitoya seriously got put through the wringer there. And haha, much as Hijikata is frustrated with Arashi, at least he doesn't play pranks on him, so he might feel less bad about his lot once he gets to meet (or hear about) Hitoya's familiar!

Ha glad it worked out then. Hitoya's not exactly powerless but on a scale of like regular guy to omnipotent deity he probably ranks like 2 and was getting into way too much trouble not to have some fun letting it bite him in the ass. As for the tengu I'm sure I could pull it in at some point. It might even be worried about him for once.
