Between men, there are people who were born with special powers. Sometimes there are men with special abilities that not even mibu possess those men were called shaman. The Mibu Clan did not let human like them run around freely, that’s why they took them all in for research. Eventually they began exterminating them. Through it all the shaman went without a fight. Maybe it’s because normal people envy those with special abilities. But it seemed like they just hate them. They look at them with cold eyes and there’s nowhere they can go to escape their hatred but the Mibu. They feel wanted even if it’s just for scientific experiments. It’s so hard to be different. It’s hard to live among people when you have an ability that makes you different from them. When people see something they’ve never seen before, they’re afraid. Even someone who can heal injuries might be revealed as a god, or feared as a monster. Shamans are nothing to the Mibu they step on them until they’re crushed to death they use them. They use them until there’s nothing left.

Overview
Shaman is a synonymous term used to describe people with born with special abilities. They were called Shaman because they would usually train in the clerical arts as a way to control their abilities. For example  Akari  traind in  Houriki and is a Buddhist nun. Both Sakuya  and  Nozomu Shiina  trained in Onmyōdō she is a  miko and he is a Onmyōji.

Biology
Shaman powers are not necessarily genetically encoded. Fundamentally, all Shaman powers can be regarded as simply different manifestations of the same base ability. That ability is the possession and unconscious manipulation ki.

A dormant gene exists in the human species as a recessive trait that causes a spontaneous outburst of “mutagenic” properties that only some individuals manifest around the time of puberty. Millions of seemingly ordinary humans carry this gene within their make-up and only under extraordinary combinations of said gene; borrowed from two like “carrier” parents does the potential for a mutant offspring result. Sometimes the genes became active during puberty but often they lay dormant for years without being realized as fully active, only to be “sparked” into life when the individual is subject to a moment of crisis. In the end the result is the same, the “gene packages” goes “active” creating an energy pattern the technique permeates the subject’s entire body inserting it into their DNA and causes a spontaneous transformation that alters the molecular structure of the host. Triggering a profound and significant change in the genetic expression of their entire body transforming the way the subject’s body systems work, including their glands, nerves, and muscles. It transforms them into an “evolved” state of being that is coming to represent an entirely new form of humanity. The energy pattern is tied into a Shaman's own consciousness and as a result, its actions are based on the Shaman's subconscious will and even biofeedback caused by the Shaman's current environment. Because of this connection, at some point during a Shaman's puberty (although for some rare Shaman, it is while in the womb), the energy pattern is created from the Shaman's emotional/psychological state, as well as their individual genetic structure, stress hormones, and immune system messengers to modify the Shaman's physiology in a way that will imbue them with a superhuman ability that might be useful to that particular Shaman at the time of manifestation. This means that the environment (both natural and social) and the thoughts/psychological state of a Shaman at the time of manifestation have a direct and formative impact on what type of ability will be developed.

The first manifestations of these abilities are often triggered by a period of heightened emotional stress.
