I disagree, since in the end Demon revealing glare and Hero comes at sunrise are very much a focus on people and knowing how they tick.

Maybe you are right and lets be honest here, you probably are but going by the discrpetions on both of the ones I suggested. We might be able to convince the wicked to act agasint each other, I'm not saying that we couldntdo that already both those two in combination seems like it might have an easier time doing that

The thing with the Bur styles as they are presented is that they are both about people and getting them to do stuff. Nightfall is aggressively Batman like while Sunrise is more like Playing the Nice Girl.

Given that it is being presented to us that Bur is primarily about people and their business the Demon Revealing Glare style is a straightforward connection to both of those. The Mist style instead takes another road and turns the dynamic around by pulling the Bur style towards paper trails and records and the like.

You're both kinda right basically, but there is a larger context here.
 
[X] Plan Long Arm of The Law
-[X] Horseback Judge Style: You have been trained to track down and capture criminals over long distances. You know how to follow a trail and push your mount past its limits to catch up with the swiftest criminals. While the Centipede School is not well-suited to mounted combat, you have adapted its fighting-chain techniques to run down and grapple wrong-doers from range, reeling them in for judgement.
-[X] Mist-Dispersing Sunlight Style: People are elusive and deceitful. You work best with places and items. Footsteps in the mud, old blood on a knife, hidden compartments, displaced bodies; all these things stand out to you, and as you catalogue them you retrace the past of your surroundings in your mind, until the truth stands before you clear as a painting.
-[X] Hero-comes-at-Sunrise Style: As a magistrate you were a wanderer, and could not rely on extensive resources. Thus you have learned to ingratiate yourself to trustworthy locals wherever you went. You are quick to make yourself a fixture of any given place, identifying reliable organizations and people and convincing them to help you, and you can easily familiarize yourself with obscure or unknown customs to leverage them to your advantage.

[X]Lantern Festival.
-[X] Law-Giving Lion-Dog Style: You have a keen sense of companionship with animals, and can train them into loyal, skillful battle-mates. Once you have bonded with a familiar, you can fight as a team, using their natural talents to push your opponents off-balance and open them up to your deadly strikes. You also know how to make use of an animal's talents to investigate wickedness, from a dog's sense of smell to a hawk's far-ranging vision.
-[X] Demon-Revealing Glare Style: The world of matter is only tools. You work best with people. Detecting lies is a party trick; what you do is deeper work, getting into the minds of people, drawing a portrait of their backgrounds and foibles, and then you find the right questions to ask for them to reveal the truth even when they do not know it.

Despite the unfortunate naming of Demon-Revealing Glare, the idea here is we're all about bringing out the best in others, for by working together, humanity is far greater then standing alone.

[X] Devil-comes-at-Nightfall Style: You have grown all too familiar with crime gangs and corrupt nobles whose reach and asset dwarf yours. Ever the underdog, you have learned to identify points of weaknesses in organizations too large for their own goods and exploit them - bribing the low rungs of the ladder, exploiting the vices of the higher-ups, and generally playing on the wicked's tendency towards betrayal and self-sabotage to disrupt their activities.
 
is voting by line for this vote or by plan?
It is cool that all the other aspects of our skillset are described like martial arts styles because Kung Fu is a way of life.
Also, we are Prasadi, which is really cool. it should mean that we are either dragonblooded, an awakened mortal, or mundane.
