Updated: 12/3 : new 'chuuni' class added! I've always wanted to add these guys in... totally open to feedback! thanks guys!


Mamemamono

   A special class of Yōkai: those who have been defeated by a certain onmyōji. 

Among the different monsters and spirits, there are those who may not be strong, but still cause terrible inconvenience in humans and spirits whether it's hiding a single sock or locking the car door while your keys are still inside.
A young onmyōji wearing a spider lily pattern on his clothes, sought to teach these spirits a lesson. Those that were defeated were marked with a seal and tracked by a shikigami, a paper doll, who would call back their master if the monster was to misbehave again. Though limited by the seals, these Yōkai were still allowed shape shift, but only to a smaller form that takes less energy to maintain.

Name

  "Mame" (豆) : bean
  "Mamono"(魔物): synonymous with Yōkai

Traits

♦ Has non human traits depending on the Yōkai
♦ Can change into a smaller, moeblobular non-humanoid form ... or "mame" form
♦ Has a personal shikigami following them around, monitoring them
♦ Has a visible paper seal on them at all times
♦ Clothing can vary greatly, though they usually try to blend in with humans
♦ There's usually some red around their eyes and markings on their face
♦ Is that an ahoge bouncing on their head? 
♦ Tend be of the mischievous type...

Classes

These are classified by the creature they are based on.
♦ Class B - based from animals. These are your average mamemamono. 

♦ Class A - based from superstition/mythical animals. These are a rarer class. Already holding supernatural abilities and wonder to humans, they are a much stronger than your average mamemamono. 
  To keep watch over them, a stronger shikigami is needed, in which would be able to take a human form. However, they can change to a paper doll version which is more energy efficient
  They are also able to look completely human like mamono and conceal their identities in their clothing... but Jayo will draw them in their default outfit closest to paper doll form
  Sorry, this class is entirely closed. ;u;/ Jayo will release more on whims~

New Left by StampMakerLKJ ♦ Cleansing Seal (Class 'chuuni') - There are those who become corrupted with something darker and try to break the normal seal. More mischievous than the average spirit, these individuals are reluctant to change and wish harm to others while drawing strength from energy around them. 
However, the young onmyōji had accounted for such occasions and both its shikigami and talisman would work to draw out the malevolence. Being in the company of non-corrupted spirits including mamemamono and nuoniao can also speed up their recovery. Luckily most of these individuals are aware of their situation but just act indignant about it.
Their traits differ from normal mamemamono in that their shikigami and talisman are black in color. The contract, usually  written on the talisman, is transferred into their skin replacing the need for red markings and ahoge.

---------------------- 

The Seal

A more detailed description of their traits for a better idea~
♦ Red marking - a proof the seal is complete and the talisman is not just a piece of paper
  Talisman - the binding contract that reminds the mamono to behave
♦ Shikigami - will take some traits of the assigned mamemamono and will mimic the red marking somewhere on themselves
Ahoge - like a radio tower telling the shikigami their locations //shot

Shikigami

These traits are only for shikigami of Class A Mamemamono
♦ They have the ability to shape-shift on a scale from their original paper doll to almost perfectly mimic human form
♦ Will take on some traits similar to the mamono they've been assigned to watch
♦ Will have shide, zigzag-shaped paper streamer, tied around their neck. The style of paper can varying among shikigami.
♦ Will also have red around their eyes like the mamono
♦ Tend to be pale skinned since they're paper
♦ Has 'shikigami' (式神) written on their face

Mamemoe!
