Also, I think the wards should be those cute lil lion statues. Let's put some in front of the gate and they can move but never leave. Cuz that'd be adorable and their purpose is to protect homes from evil spirits, so they'd make great wards.

Sounds good. :3

Also, wards around the garden are weaker than in the building itself, so Jaki can easily go through them after destroying the lion statues, heh. 

inside the building, the barriers activate when a full-blooded yokai invades the gardens. Whichever room your character is in (lounge/apartment/dining hall/kitchen etc) becomes an individual barrier, kind of like a panic room. So, nothing can get in (not even other characters in other barriers), only you can go out, though that would mean disabling the barrier around your room. The barriers would go down when the yokai trying to invade goes away, or an exceptionally powerful one breaks through, though it would take a while to break down the barrier and by then it'd probably be morning which would mean they'd have to leave anyway. I think this would allow some interesting interactions between characters, especially if they're in the same room as someone they don't like that much. XD

Adding the new characters to the roster. <3
