Onmyōji are a line of spiritually aware human warrior and/or priest. Unlike most human beings when they die, Onmyōji die they seeminngly "skip" the transformation into a hollow and become a shinigami and awake into the Soul Society. It also appear that Onmyōji often befriend shinigami.

Overview
Onmyōji are spiritually aware humans, whos bodies are comprised of both spiritrons and atoms, because their parents had enough spiritual power to see hollows perfectly and able to combat them. Unlike the Shinigami, who use a sword as their primary weapon, the Onmyōji's weapon of choice is a Shakujō, it is constructed from spiritual particles and part an Onmyōji's own soul. Onmyōji shakujōs are summoned by the Onmyōji's situation or by the Onmyōji having their hands together as if they were praying, for example if the Onmyōji could hand the hollow with their own power the shakujō won't be summoned but they are in really situation the shakujō will appear in their hand.

History
Onmyōji were once scattered all over the world and known either by the name wizard/witch or shaman. The number Onmyōji were small about 150 per generation, some died early due not being able to handle the fact they could "ghost" so they either died from suicide or stress induced diseases. Over the years Onmyōji befriended other spiritual and spiritually aware races such as the Quincy and Shinigami, they had a better relationship with the Shinigami then the Quincies so they were allowed to live unlike the Quincies who were killed, besides their relationship with the Shinigami, Onmyōji were small in numbers.
