Frankly I am doing this character even tho i won't play it. Mix and matching is fun!
Name: Mei
Age: 856
Gender: Female
Race: Huli Jing - The chinese Kitsune. No differences with the Japanese one, save culturally.
Appearance:
Her usual appearance.-
Her Real appearance. She has eight tails.
Personality: Mei is actually pretty much opposite of what a fox spirit is supposed to be. Going against her very own folk's nature, Mei always tries to be trustworthy, straightforward and diligent. Mei is patient, attentive and wise, and she is unerringly kind and polite. Most of the time. But no matter how much she tries to hide it, she still has that fox streak that surfaces when people finally tick her off, using her cunning and tricky ways to get the upper hand. She also hates being compared to one of her famous ancestors, the legendary nine tailed Daji (which is probably the reason why she overcompensates), and has a fancy about foods that contain absurd amounts of offal (truth to be told her favorite food is
human liver, but hey, those are off limits.)
Abilities:
-
Foxfire: Hey, all half-decent spirit foxes can do it. From the mouth, or the tips of the tail. Packs quite a punch, but it's in the end just fancy blue mana fire. Due to her number of tails she can spam a lot of it leading to...
-
Eight-Gates-Fox-Dragon-Fire-Roar: An stupidly overblown attack with an overlong stupid name. Mei created it in order to have a finisher for a fox who was an ally of justice and whatnot, but the thing is too unwieldy and causes way too property damage to be used. She technically could teach other foxes, but she won't. I mean, seriously, it's like giving a rocket launcher to a sugar-high kid. The technique concentrates all foxfire in a gigantic orb who's launched for massive DAMAGE.
-Transformation: She can do tricks to alter her appearance and age, and hide her tails. Don't ask her to become a guy, tho.
-Illusion: Mei, like all foxes can do illusions. However, the more convincent and vivid the illusion, the more draining, and the less can move. Each aditional sense weights more. She can sometimes stack two short lived illusions.
-Taoist Rituals: Similar to Onmyodo, Mei is a skilled taoist ritual practitioner, which can be seen in divinations (that they often fail), and talismans, enchantments and exorcisms (which they do not). This was an attempt on her part to drift away from the foul practices of her clan, like human posession.
Skills:
Chinese- DUH
Chinese medicine and herbalism- Well, she has to earn a coin or two. She also knows how to make good, hearty meals.
Kung Fu- While a wispy fox spirit isn't the most durable youkai, she knows kung fu. I mean, cause, seriously, there's tigers and stuff like that in China. She's pretty skilled and nimble, but like other foxes, can't take many hits.
Master of Deception: There's probably almost to no trick in the big book of deception that she doesn't know. She mostly uses it to become a sly interrogator instead of deceiving people. Most of the time.
Living history Scholar: She's read and seen a ton of stuff.
Equipment:
Clothes.
Cellphone.
Wallet.
Swag.Brief Backstory: Mei was born to the same clan of fox spirits as one of the most (in)famous mythological figures of chinese literature. Daji, the concubine of Zhou Wang, a chinese King who got the kicks and giggles by torturing vassals in horrible manners. In fact, Mei and her family are somehow descendants of that very nine tailed fox, and most of them follow their tenets and revel in the horrible practices that give the Huli Jinn their bad repution. Not Mei, though. Among rebelious spirits, she felt like rebelling, so she took the side of law and order.
She became a travelling force of good. Met friends. Lived adventures. Keep fighting with her clan and other spirits. The world changed. And decided it was getting too tired to be constantly in the run. So she skipped the sea to Japan, having heard rumours of a city being founded with an Imaginary District. She found herself being one of the assistants of the ID Police, cooking the meals and tidying the stuff up. Well, she could also bust asses, but to be honest, it was about time to give the young'uns a chance.
Plus hey, with the wages she could eat all the chopped sheep liver she wanted!
I just can't stop making characters.
