MEET YURI! YUREI'S TWIN

who I made in only a universe where Yuri was able to be reborn the same as Yurei... Other than that he's dead in the canon universe

In the canon timeline Yuri and Yurei were meant to be born together, but Yuri ate his twin in the womb and was born a single child. The boy was born with the gift of seeing the dead and he HATED it, everything scared the child, every noise startled him and he couldn't handle anything. Similar to Yurei's story he was praised for it, the people would use him for his gift. The contrast being, Yuri's parents didn't save him from the cruelty of being used and this resulted in his death.

When Yurei was five years old and was taken to the house it was actually their birth home that Yurei wasn't aware of. The two kids meeting each other due to Yurei connecting with the afterlife and Yuri's soul for the first time, both were surprised that they looked alike, neither knew they were looking directly at their twin at the time

I wanted him to be similar yet different from Yurei, but would also make sense of his kind of character

So for him I was going for more of a poltergeist kind of thing and Poltergeist are more of destructive, cause of noise, and very active which is somewhat to do with their past lives

Due to these I decided to make his weapon spiked balls, not only is it destructive but it also represents that of a spirit being held down onto the earth and very freely to the other side. I also added that he uses little bombs to cause noise as a distraction or to simply use it against the demons

Him and Yurei see ghosts together, but Yuri will fully panic if he's forced to connect with the dead and even lash out at anyone around him because he's terrified ( in this life he doesn't know why but I wanted to maybe connect that it's a past life thing that he's unaware of )

Yuri tries to get Yurei to cut out the gig of going to random people just so they can say their last goodbyes but Yurei reassures him that it's out of the good of his heart

Poltergeist gives off a smell when nearby, so for this if you smell as if something is on fire or burning, Yuri is close by somewhere

Yuri and Yurei are rarely separated unless Yurei is out with Kiyō

The twins WILL do the switcheroo, for the fun of it, convenience of the other, on the mission, to mess around with others. They can mimick one another to the very last detail it even makes Shifuku scratch her head all the twins need is hair dye matching the others
