Kitsune are fox-like humanoids, who are able to take on a demi-human shape at will. This change doesn't really have any impact on the kitsune, but in some circles one form is trusted more than the other. Additionally, kitsune may gain up to nine tails via ritual.

History[edit]

Kitsune were an early race. As magic became more prominent, it became a mainstay in kitsune culture. The elves might have created it, but the kitsune innovated it. The kitsune became dangerously powerful on their own. However, as timed changed, they found themselves unable to change social climates. They soon left for their own Plane. However, they left a power gap when raised questions about the race. Many other early races used this as a chance to slander them, painting them as cowardly and xenophobic. This, in turn, caused the remaining kitsune to become even less involved, creating a vicious cycle tarnishing their name.

Kitsune in general are similar to humans socially. However, even the most carefree of kitsune have become slightly jaded by the hate. Some play the role they've been cast, using their mastery of magic to aggravate or aggrieve those they come upon.

Culture[edit]

Kitsune tend to be very traditional and skeptical of society still. Their old villages tend to sit deep in clearings in the forest, carved from stone and made to be permanent. Though kitsune do work together in their villages and training, they still have a feral appreciation of rushing through forests hunting alone.

Fashion[edit]

Kitsune are pretty much the epitome of Early Race fashion, nearly always strictly holding on to the traditional flowing robes and vestments of the past. Still, those who integrate with society are known to try more recent fashions. Piercing and tattoos are both indulged to a small degree, both in traditional and modern fashion.
