Editing Dragon Clan (section)

===Kitsuki Family===
The youngest family of the Dragon Clan, these courtiers originated from the Agasha. Their founder, Agasha Kitsuki, was gifted at studying details but not metaphysics and the supernatural. Ostracized by the truly mysterious bunch for not being mysterious enough due to his focus on the mundane physical world, he honed his powers of observation and mental recall for not just physical details but psychological tics in people and proved its worth. First by solving the murder of his sensei which he was framed for as a student, then by preventing the assassination of the Mirumoto daimyo in his career as a ''karo'' (advisor to the daimyo). That was the achievement which led to the founding of the Kitsuki family, and they generally maintain a friendly material-versus-mystical rivalry with the Agasha, each treating the other like a sibling.

Like the Mirumoto, the Kitsuki serve as the Dragon's public face, and their studies of law make them well-suited to presenting the esoteric philosophies of their Clan in a coherent policy. While trained in politics and manners as courtiers, Kitsuki truly shine as magistrates. The Kitsuki method, as mentioned, basically trains each student to be Samurai Sherlock Holmes, which is a more accurate description than one would think: in addition to their amazing powers of deduction and analysis, Kitsuki possess an impressive breadth of knowledge in things that might be involved in investigations such as poisons, weapons, and even physiology through autopsy. Many are also trained in <s>bartitsu</s>''iaijutsu'' to defend themselves at court or, more likely, enact justice on the guilty directly.

This worldliness often makes the Kitsuki the least cryptic and most approachable of the Dragons...though even then, they are still regarded as oddballs at court by most of the other Clans. Kitsuki tend to only put in the bare minimum of effort to fit in, and hardly practice the feints and favors exchanged by other courtiers to build alliances and foil enemies. Instead, they prefer to [[/tg/ gets shit done|get shit done]], using their powers of observation to pierce through the veils of deception, uncovering a wealth of information to either leverage at the perfect moment or conduct their dealings safely. They may not always be able to outright call out a deception or bring evidence into a case...but they CAN let the perp ''think'' they've got them fooled, or follow the evidence to someone who ''can'' be persuaded to give testimony about the truth.
