Description:

Every Sunday, I want to play a game of Fox Magic. Hopefully I can keep the plot going long enough for actual campaign play!

Character Parameters:
All kitsune are capable of taking a single human form; they just need to succeed on a Cunning roll in order to do so! Using the Shapeshifting power is automatic and allows for additional forms. The first Shapeshifting human form is generally the human form known from natural Cunning rolls, but this doesn't have to be the case.

Start with 2 tails worth of power. Be prepared to lose one tail, though, soon into the storyline! (After this, it will be based on your deeds and luck in-game.)

Kitsune age at different rates than given in the guide. A normal fox (domesticated) lives 12 years; a kitsune lives 24 years at one tail, and doubles that amount every tail gained (48, 96, 192, 384, 768, etc.). Kitsune who gain even 7 tails are effectively immortal, but losing a tail and having aged more years than your tails would allow is extremely dangerous, often leading to death...

There will be additional types of magic involved in the game, not just the four listed in the manual. You can learn these later on once I figure out what they'll be! XD

The game takes place in Los Angeles, of California.

All Kitsune are allowed ONE Ongoing Opportunity of their design, with my consent. Yes, this includes your Mobster-style car, Enemy!

Okay, we will start next week. We MAY require a drop, though, if someone doesn't show up again... :/

Fox Name: Xia
Human Name: Ama Xianglu

Human: Light brown skin, with red hair that only goes down to the shoulders, and yellow eyes.

Strength: Skill
Ban: Any sincere/selfless request to her, or her shrine/place must be answered.
Tail 1 Ban: When she finds something broken, she must try to fix it (Most often applies to mechanical devices.)

Story Points: 3

Abilities:
Myoubu: Wisdom Investment (1)

Illusion: Spirit Investment (2) Optional Story Point

Cunning 4
Skill 5
Spirit 4
Wisdom 3

Background: She came over to the US, following a family of chinese immigrants, who soon moved into LA- and from there, she got quite lost. And so she ended up settling down in a little shack near the edge of town, as a pet of a old man living there- It was when he died, that she truly became aware, having to fend for herself again. And so she ate food from inside the house, reading all that she could get her hands on- starting to slowly fixing up a car she found- it looked like it had been sitting around since the seventies- and probably had been. It would be her transportation, her way of helping people, with the internet as her guide. She is still trying to get her bearings, after a fashion- and so she fixes cars in trade for food, and money- to pay for things like power, and such, while requiring. . . not much food at all.

There is a small shrine on the wall of the house- she made that, so others could use it as well. It is rather minimal, but it is there, at least.

Drives a 1938 Buick Special hot rod- still looks stock on the outside, but has aircraft style guages on the inside, with a bunch of unlabled toggle switches for various functions, as well as a four-speed manual transmission, and a two speed rear axle.

Raw data (formatted badly because of tables)

Name: Inako
Sex: Female
Age: 8
Breed: Reiko
Strength: Spirit
Ban: Shadows cast from lamplight and reflections display her Jujin form despite her current form. If presented with her reflection, all spiritual powers currently active are canceled.
Additional Ban (ability: Bachi): Inako cannot stand intrusion on her family’s home, and knows instinctively if humans walk among it. She feels compelled to inspect the situation and chase away intruders despite what she was doing before unless she judges that they have the purest intents.
Description: Inako had grown a curiosity toward the family that lived in the large old Victorian house years ago, and had begun to grow a real attachment to them. They noticed her around in their yard now and then, and had even begun to leave out bits of food on the outskirts of their yard, keeping their distance, but admiring her. They liked her and she had grown to like them in a way, starting to feel like part of their family, even a love for them. Eventually, she noticed when they stopped showing up outside of their home. The strange uniformed humans wandered around for a while, and then suddenly they were never seen again. No one came to the human dwelling near her home for some time, and she worried that they no longer cared for her, feeling a strong attachment to them despite the meager relation she had to them. She gained the courage one day to step closer and found the back door partially opened. Wandering in, she found no lights on like there had been before and… a smell of death in the air. She found bloodstains in two places around the home. She didn’t need kitsune powers to realize what had happened. What startled her more, however, was that there were two people in the home… in her emotional state, she watched the strangers from hiding with distaste. They were spraying strange sigils onto the walls inside the home and she couldn’t believe that someone would deface such a place where the dead rested. She was so distraught that she called upon the powers that be for some way to help. She wanted some way that she could stop people from defacing the home of her beloved family, regardless of whether they were alive or not anymore. She got her wish, awakened as a kitsune, she frightened away the intruders with powerful illusions and curses and sat brooding in the home on her own, swearing to protect what she now considered sacred ground.
Appearance: Inako appears as a pale blue fox with somewhat matted fur, less worried about her physical appearance than paying attention to the world of the dead around her. In human form, she appears as a very dark blue-haired teenage girl with an intense facial appearance and eyes one might consider ‘empty’ looking, often wearing a school uniform in a vague attempt at looking normal for her apparent age.

Description
Bachi
2 challenge, investment, story
Spirit
if successful, places “Divine Curse” ongoing complication on target. Anyone may use it as a normal complication, but the fox may invoke it by spending an additional spirit point when the target would do a challenge roll, causing it to use the LOWEST die for its roll. These spirit points are used each time it is invoked this way, but are not invested.
Illusion
2 investment, optional story
Spirit
Used to create the “Illusion” scene-specific opportunity. A fox may ignore the illusion if they pass a spirit challenge, but the illusion itself will not be damaged. Only those present when it was crafted will see it, others will not see it at all. The fox may spend an additional spirit point to draw all new individuals into the illusion; this does not require the tempo. Those affected will experience everything crafted as if it were real. Fire is hot, food is filling, a roof will block the rain, wind will be blocked by walls, etc. Those not affected will be aware that there is SOMETHING there, but will not know what it is and remain unaffected.

The fox may spend a story point to create the “Creation” ongoing opportunity. The fox will choose who sees the illusion when it is crafted, even if not present (“Everyone” is viable, as is “Anyone I touch with this ring.”). To add or remove someone from this list of people that see the illusion, the fox must spend a spirit point. Creating an illusionary reality requires the fox to have something real to build upon. Creating food requires an edible object, even just a leaf. To create wine, the fox would need something safe to drink. A house can be created using a collection of sticks laid out in the shape of the foundation of the house. Servants can be crafted from paper dolls or strips of clothing.

Ongoing Opportunity
- (Passive) Aura of Serenity: The presence of the Byako can at times be felt as it is often reflected in their appearance. Spirits and mortals alike that have encountered this breed of Kitsune may become aware of a change in the air when this white fox is near. Such an exuding aura fills the air around the Kitsune with focus, peace, and inspiration. Though effects may be easily dissuaded by powerful emotion or an overwhelming force.

or (Shifts as initiated by the Fortunes.)

- (Pasive) Aura of Dread: The overcoming well of emotion that presses against the hardy barriers of the Byako's mind have spilled over, tainting her once serene aura with sorrow and grief. A repulsive air now hangs around the Kitsune as she has turned her once calming presence into weapon meant to intimidate and discourage those that would dare rouse her ire. All but the strongest resolves may easily push aside the sensation that might otherwise hang over oneself like an ever present shadow of doubt.
