Appearance:



Personality: Rika is a mysterious man. He is quiet and to himself most of the time, but does not mind company here and there. He is like a cat in the fact that he can sometimes be aloof and not wanting to be bothered and at other times warm and friendly. He is patient and willing to listen to those that want to speak to him and he can be quite gentle if need be. He is the sort to adapt to his environment and what is around him versus one to stay static at all times.

Despite his serious nature, the man is also known to have a playful and mischievous side that he seems to slip in and out of at a whim. As a result of how odd and sometimes confusing the man's behavior can be, he has earned the name "Cheshire Cat" since he seems to sometimes reflects that character. 

History: Rika is a strange man with a strange appearance that would make many scratch their heads when viewing his true form. While he is a kitsune, there is something dark about the creature that seems to twist his human form into the demonic one that is shown; however, why that is something only the creature knows. As a result of this dark secret, the kitsune is not known to share details of his history with others easily nor the burden he alone carries due to the dark presence inside of him.




Name of Species:   Fox Yokai | Kitsune

Baseline Dimension: 20 inches high at shoulder in true fox form. Five feet high at the shoulder in larger kitsune form. Tails can be up to many meters long. Can grow up to exponential amounts.

Culture/Origin of Species: The Fox Yokai, also known as a Kitsune, is a mythical beast with many mysterious powers. They are generally crafty and deceptive individuals that enjoy a good prank or guise. Most Kitsune enjoy the culture and climate of Hisakawa and live solitary, not in large groups like some yokai. Many are stereotyped to be thieves and untrustworthy due to their inherent nature.

Traits:
• Kitsunebi | Fox Yokai can manifest a unique blaze of fire known as Kitsunebi, or "fox fire". The color of Kitsunebi varies from fox to fox and often reflects the nature of their soul or personality. The Kitsunebi has either hot or cold properties and can assist the fox in use of illusions.

• Shapeshifting | Kitsune are adept at the art of disguise, and as such can freely shapeshift into almost any form they wish.

• Illusions | Along with shapeshifting, Kitsune can utilize various small visual and audible illusions to aid in their trickery. These illusions are harmless and cannot be physically touched.

• Kitsunetsuki Being a wicked species at their roots, all foxes have the ability to possess individuals through a process known as Kitsunetsuki.

• Kyuubi | Over the course of its lifetime, generally many millennia should one survive long enough, a fox will grow to have a total of nine tails. These tails can potentially be used as weapons or be prehensile should a kitsune manipulate them as such. The tails typically can resize.

Flaws:
• Kitsune cannot sustain shapeshifting for long, and many times when in human form, are unable to fully disguise their tails, ears, claws, or fangs.

• Kitsunetsuki can sometimes be ineffective as features of the fox's physical form, such as tails, ears, claws, and the like can manifest.

• Though keen, cunning, and swift, foxes are generally more fragile than most magical creatures. As such, most do not live long enough to see their ninth tail.
