Race: Kitsune
Lifespan: Immortal (won't die of old age, but can still be killed)
Appearance: The Kitsune are a race of fox-folk. They can appear as both a normal fox or their anthro form and all are able to transform between these two forms at will. Kitsune fur colors can be any color of the visible spectrum but normal fox colors tend to be more common. Their eyes are always the color of gemstones and give off a soft light. Every Kitsune is born with a single tail, and every one hundred years they are alive they grow another tail till they have a maximum of nine tails. It is rare for a Kitsune to exceed a height of five and a half feet while in anthro form, though no unheard of. The average height usually tends to be around four foot to five foot tall while in anthro form, making them one of the shorter races.
Special abilities: Kitsune have several abilities granted to them for merely being born a Kitsune. Their sense of smell and hearing are greatly enhanced compared to most other races, though this can be a bit of a mixed blessing as loud noises or foul odors affect them even more than others can cause extreme pain. Kitsune are also able to see perfectly fine even in pitch darkness thanks to their unique eyes, though the soft glow from their eyes does tend to give away their position in the dark as well. Kitsune are also very attuned to the ways of magic, allowing them to scent magic users or even items as everything has its own unique scent to them. Another interesting trait is their ability to create small orbs of bluish flames they can control with their minds. These orbs of fox-fire are totally harmless, despite looking like fire. They produce only light and no heat and are often used to confuse enemies or to simply play tricks on other races.
Strengths: Kitsune are very agile. Their claws and teeth can also make effective weapons against enemies with no armor, though most would prefer that it never come to that. Their heightened senses and ability to transform can also make them very hard to sneak up on or take by surprise. Every Kitsune is usually very adept with at least one element of magic, and this aptitude only increases with age. Some older Kitsune also gain the ability to use other elements as they gain tails.
Weaknesses: Kitsune hate strong foul odors and can actually be rendered unconscious from certain smells. Bright lights can also hurt their eyesight, and they are not fond of loud noises. While agile they are usually physically weaker on average than most other races. The greatest weakness however is that they go into a full body paralysis when someone grabs their tails. This weakness vanishes however once they obtain their ninth tail.
Other information: Kitsune tend to live in clans of around twenty to thirty. They each have three names as well. Their first name is given at birth, their second name is their clan name which all in their clan share, and their last name is their 'earned' name. This last name is usually given around the time they grow their second tail and usually has double meaning and defines a characteristic or trait of the one it's given to. Most Kitsune usually take another name to use around other races, and this name is almost never a part of their true name. Also the Kitsune have been on Yarkona Azura long before the Meteor came and changed everything. Making them one of the oldest Magical Creatures in Yarkna Azura.
( Other note you can only have a Kitsune up to three tails. Though if you need your Char to meet one with more tails a mod or admin will play one for you.)
