Looking for a Ranked match. I'll be using Hadyn. Character Sheet, below.
Name: Hadyn Cole
Alias: Koan Inori
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Race/Species: Caucasian Human, Kitsune
Power Level: High Powered (May Vary as storyline progresses)
Appearance:
Personality:
Origins:
Deep in the country side of Avelyn, human villages were paved across the land. Hadyn was born in the Village of Minit, amongst his fellow Kitsune Kin. Though, they remained hidden from the humans that lived around them. The Kitsune were not shy creatures at all. They mingled with the Humans on almost every basis. However, Kin related things stayed within the walls of their own homes. The Humans of Avelyn were never fond of magic, and specially not those of creatures outside of themselves. If a Kitsune were discovered, it would mean the death of them and their families.
Luckily, as great illusionist as many of them were, hiding themselves was relatively easy. When the humans began to show signs of aging, where the kitsune did not as much, they'd travel to another village and blend in once again.
Hadyn was born with 3 identical brothers; Pau, Kuzu, and Jing. His clan was known for it's many male Kitsune, which would be extremely rare in other clans. Pau was a very kind-hearted child. Kuzu and Jing were mischievous and often in trouble for going too far. Hadyn was somewhere in between. He loved good practical jokes, as was common for Kitsune, however, he knew the extent at which it should go, to not be caught by Humans.
Because Pau was the Kind-hearted one, he would often be a target of his two mischievous brothers. Elders of the Kin learned in quick time, that Pau had not developed the Spirit of the Fox, and thus was marked as Human. Regardless, Hadyn had a deep love for his brother and spent much time with him were others would not. Humans born of Kitsune were often overlooked.
Kitsune were taught at a young age to begin developing their abilities. The three primary abilities were Communicating with their spirits, Minor Illusions, and Fox Fire. Hadyn developed the last two excellently, however, he found it difficult to speak with his Fox spirit. Being one of the easiest abilities to master, his elders found it quite concerning, though they could never figure out the reasoning. The only obvious answer was that his Fox spirit did not want to speak to him for some reason.
Over time, Hadyn developed an unbreakable connection with Pau. While Hadyn learned to use his abilities, Pau often watched, and as soon as he was excused, the two would wonder off into the village. Partially to enjoy the scenery of the village in the evening, but also to escape the torments of his brothers.
It was during one of these times that disaster struck. Kuzu and Jing had managed to find Pau alone, and began messing with him, playing with his mind through illusions. Pau found himself frightened and scared, attempting to flee, impaled himself on a broken fence line. Moments later, Hadyn found him and his two now frightened brothers surrounded by a group of strangers who were confused and appalled at what they had just seen.
Feeling himself overwhelmed with anger, Hadyn lashed out at his brothers, tossing punches. Several grown humans attempted to step in as Hadyn found himself immediately tossed back, no match for both of them. However, this only angered him further, causing a sudden surge of power in himself. Suddenly, and without warning, the skies above the village were full of fire. His Kin found the kids mere moments later, knocking each of them unconscious.
However, the damage had been done. The surge of energy caused every illusion and protection the Kitsune had in place to suddenly fall. It didn't take long for the Humans to realize what had happen and begin to retaliate. In one swoop, hundreds of Kitsune and even many humans would succumb to the raw power of fear from the humans. They were wiped out.
Hadyn woke days later just beyond the village. There was an unmistakable smell of burnt flesh. As he attempted to run and find out what had happened, a man reached out his hand to stop the boy. The man sorrowfully grabbed Hadyn's shoulder and in an instant, his entire life changed. Hadyn mourned for years after the fact, but his spirit somehow survived.
The man that had saved Hadyn, he'd only know as "Arsto". Hadyn would stay with the man for years, but he never learned much about the man personally. He just knew he was trustworthy. He knew that Arsto was a scientist of sorts, though the things he studied were often very strange. He had only ended up saving Hadyn's life by mere coincidence that Hadyn's Kitsune clan was one of few that produced boys. That was, alone, enough for Arsto to want to study them. Arsto immediately recognized Hadyn's abilities when he discovered the bloody boys in the streets of Minit. It was he who would then knock the boys out swiftly in attempts to quell the situation and save the rare Kitsune Clan. However, even he did not expect what would happen. He managed to sneak Hadyn out of the village before the slaughter began.
Suddenly, Hadyn found himself in the city known as Judicah. An ancient city built an maintained by an assortment of races, many of which Hadyn had never seen or even heard of. The technology was so advanced compared to the small world he had come from, he was unsure of how to take it all in. He wasn't sure how Arsto did it, but he was in a whole new world.
Hadyn would work for many years underneath the scientist, helping with his studies and learning quite a bit about the world in which he now lived, and others that he was able to explore. Hadyn's cleverness became quite an asset for the scientist. Though, the studies he found most interesting were ones of ancient empires that once ruled. The intricateness of their magic was fascinating to him. The most notable to him, was an Empire that ruled under the command of 'The Red Sage'. Hadyn found it's magic to be extremely notable among others, and spent much of his time studying them.
However, even the studies couldn't keep a Kitsune for long. Hadyn developed a sense of adventure, and outside of his new found work, he'd spend much of his day with many friends doing nearly insane things. Though, what he would seek more than any of that would be to find out more about his own species and what exactly happened.
Arsto was much help in training Hadyn in as much Kitsune culture as he knew. Hadyn found that not only was Arsto very intelligent, but quite combatant. He never knew how Arsto knew all the things he did, but he didn't ask either. The man was very secretive about his past, and preferred it that way.
After many years though, there wasn't anything Arsto could do for Hadyn anymore. His Kitsune abilities were developing in strange ways that neither could explain. He began having strange dreams. Dreams of other worlds. Dreams of strange creatures. Dreams of a masked man with strange music. Dreams of The Red Sage. He needed to follow them. Follow the Signs.

3 Day time limit on post. I'd prefer a location that's not too complex, but barren is boring as well. Something like the Midnight Cemetery would do. I'm looking for a pretty even match up. We'll also need a judge. I'd personally feel more satisfied with @Rilla or @Skallagrim as our judge, though I'm open to suggestions, based on who takes up the challenge. Wagers of any kind are acceptable, as long as we discuss them beforehand. Victory style will be Death, KO, Surrender, or Forfeit. Not posting after 3 days counts as connecting attack, after 6 days, it is an automatic forfeit. We can discuss further Stipulations, based on chosen character. Yes, this will be Ranked.
The Wild Kitsune
Name: Hadyn Cole
Alias: Koan Inori
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Race/Species: Caucasian Human, Kitsune
Power Level: High Powered (May Vary as storyline progresses)
Appearance:
- Normal Appearance:Hadyn's physical appearance doesn't seem like much, outside of his obvious physical appeal. Like most Kitsune he is tall and skinny, standing about 6 feet tall and weighing about 145 pounds. He is extremely lithe but suffers from a somewhat feeble body, because of this. Even in full attire, they stay light-weighted due to hallow but strong bone structure. His skin is a dark complected, smooth and supple, with narrow shoulders and lanky arms, with a dark black hair color and bright green eyes.
Hadyn's left arm is adorned in various Tattoo-like body art, a dragon in particular. This is called a Kitsune's Okori. Some races translate this as 'Origins'. (More to be explained below) However, it acts as more as an impression on the body and not like traditional Tattooing, and can change as the Kitsune does.
His clothing is more meek and conventional. Hadyn's clothing are light and billowy, held together by various straps and buckles. Adorning his clothes are various metal trinkets, bracelets and necklaces. Though decorative the clothing as a whole is conventional and allows for physical labor and work, while at the same time providing formal attire. - Avatar Appearance:As Hadyn begins to take on the Power of his Fox Spirit (In battle situations), Koan, the spirit begins to infuse itself into Hadyn's physical appearance in a variety of ways. Hadyn's natural hair becomes slightly longer and more coarse. His left eye displays a noticeable change in becoming a bright red. Though the rest of his face becomes covered in a strange white fox-like mask, with red markings. These markings become noticeably similar to his Okori, which expands across the rest of his body, changing into a ruby red color. His skin becomes slightly noticeably more thicker, while his finger nails, teeth, and other body extremities become noticeably longer and sharper.
Those that can see spiritual things, will notice a wolf like shape covering Hadyn's body, which acts much like an armor. In certain situations, this can even manifest more physically, to be noticeable by all.
Personality:
- Hadyn:In true Kitsune fashion, Hadyn has an innate love for Trickery and art, in which he grew up with. Hadyn is much more timid than most, but easily amused. He generally follows his own ethical code, but will usually adapt to the morals of those around him, mostly for the sake of being accepted than anything else. As a Kitsune though, he has strong primal senses and reactions toward certain behaviors. Offending what a kitsune believes is 'correct' can make them evil, malicious, and disruptive. Behaving according to what they think is right, however, is rewarded with politeness, kindness, and helpfulness. Hadyn delights in finding a weakness in someone, and aggravating said weakness until others notice it. Immoral people find their weakness exploited so as to become more immoral, heading down the path of destruction. Moral ones may still be tricked or teased, in order to show them humility. Hadyn always keeps his promises. If he does end up breaking one, he can become self-destructive in behavior, and if someone breaks their promise to a him, they become deadly enemies. Hadyn can be very emotional, and his emotions can be a way to their undoing. Sorrow or guilt can distract or harm them, or even kill them outright. Hadyn won't accept help from those who are unwilling. If one wishes to aid him, they must do it of their own free will. He doesn't like asking for help to begin with, so the offerer usually must initiate. Aside from being emotional, he can also be very vengeful. He can lose his tempers in a snap. Once someone has the hatred of a kitsune, the spirit will begin enacting a revenge that can get quite extreme. Those who have earned the kitsune's trust, however, will have a friendship that can last many trials. Freedom is very important to kitsune. They don't like being bound or trapped, and will not accept being forced into something that they don't wish. Trapping the kitsune weakens it.
- Koan:Koan acts very similar to Hadyn in most senses, though it tends to act more morally 'good', than normal Kitsune Spirits. For this fact, many who notice Hadyn's Spirit might assume that it is a Myobu. A fox spirit loyal to the Goddess, Inari. A rarity, specially amongst Hadyn's clan of Kitsune who Worship 'The Lady'. Although Koan and Hadyn are one, they don't communicate as much as other Kitsune of his clan speak with their spirits. One could assume there is some level of distrust between the two, though they work in harmony when facing a foe.

Equipment:
Armor/Clothing
- Clothing
- Hadyn wears the absolute minimum he thinks he can get away with during normal situations. He has a hard time letting himself be confined to clothing, but he does. His clothes are usually dark material, light and open enough for him to not feel confined too much, but also not too loose that he could easily get caught on something. He enjoys wearing belts and various bits of jewelry that he develops an attachment for. His favorite piece of jewelry however, is a small white orb earing, he keeps in his left ear. He isn't sure where it came from, but he has an unnatural fascination for it.
Weaponry
- Keibi
- A 36" double sided Katana. Keibi was originally created as an Elfish blade, made to be light and swift, while packing a defensive punch against large ogres, that would swing hard. The blade uses a mixture of bizarre properties and magic that lightens blows used against it or hits with extra pulse, making it a very viable weapon as well as shield, typically for spell-swords that would use their other hand to cast magics. The blade was given to him by a group of elderly elven merchants who were very thankful that he had showed up in time to fend off a group of bandits in Neveina.

Skills:
Natural Skills
- Foxhood:
- Hadyn's natural body is much faster, more nimble, strong, and more durable than the average person, due to his Kitsune nature. He excels specifically in speed and nimbleness. His senses are naturally amplified as well. As a Kitsune, Hadyn is immune to any kind of electricity or fire.
Educated Skills
- Archeology/Anthropology
- Due to his time with Artso, Hadyn had become very fluent and knowledgeable when it comes to ancient cultures and civilizations, as well as many current ones. He also studies heavily into the Nature of various creatures and humanoids.
- Elven Swordsmanship
- Being light and nimble in nature, himself, like many elves, his training with Arsto included many traditional and ancient elven styles of swordsmanship, specifically spellsword styles.
- Fox Pugilist
- Arsto's training of Hadyn also includes various Kitsune fighting styles as well as martial arts techniques in order to train using his fist and claws, which become extremely sharp and durable upon transition into his Avatar (Kitsune) State.
Abilities:
Natural:
- Avatar State
- Also known as the Kitsune State. This is the state in which Koan physically manifest in the appearance of Hadyn's own body. This state is automatically taken if Koan feels threatened. Hadyn's natural abilities are increased dramatically, including; Strength, Speed, Defense, Agility, and Endurance. His natural senses are heightened substantially. While Hadyn's natural scent is very good, his Kitsune state can allow him to smell things several miles away. He also receives a spike in what he is able to do with his Kitsune's magic, where it is traditionally limited otherwise. The Avatar state also creates a physical yet invisible armor around him, that can only be seen in the spiritual, or in very select instances. It takes a fox-like humanoid shape.
- Eyes of the Fox
- Hadyn's eyes are able to pierce the thickest veils. Darkness presents no obstacles. His eyes are able to see through illusions and any magical or physical thing that tries to temporary create blindness. He is also able to see beyond the physical realm into others. Naturally speaking, he can see 5x greater than the average Human.
- Surge of the Fox Spirit
- Koan provides various defensive capabilities for Hadyn. The spirit prevents curses, hexes, and the like from directly affecting Hadyn. Those that reside in a specific area, or other defenses, natural or magical receive a spiritual surge from the spirit, that attempts to shut them down or over-power them. The Surge also acts in the same way towards toxins and diseases attempting to take it's course in Hadyn's body. The only defenses the Fox Spirit can't overwhelm in the same manner, is those magical, protecting against spiritual entities. Non-traditional weaponry and technology is especially weak to the surge. This includes any lingering spells.
Spiritual
- Fox Fire
- Hadyn is able to create and manipulate Fox Fire. A simple and yet deadly force of Flames manifested from Kitsune, even able to cut through water and ice. It continues to burn for as long as the user has the ability to control it. It does not act like natural or magical flame, so does not adhere to their traditional rules. Flame resistant items are still likely to burn over a small course of time with Fox Fire.
- Fox Spark
- As well as Fire, a Kitsune trained to manipulate it's fire into a condensed energy, can create a manipulatable force of electricity. Because of the nature of it's creation, a direct shot is able penetrate armor, and completely destroy large boulders. These arcs of electricity are often surrounded by several feet of electrical waves, capable of stunning and electrocuting those near the arc.
- Illusions of the Kitsune (Low-Tier Version)
- Hadyn is able to create small illusions, roughly no larger than the average person. He can make himself appear differently, or even create an illusion of himself.
- Okari
- Ryuu- The Dragon
As a natural Enemy to Kitsune, Dragons are able to consume the Fox Spirit within a Kitsune. The Dragon Okari protects Hadyn against attacks that might hinder or attempt to remove or destroy his Fox spirit, and creates an impenetrable bond between the two. - Ural- The Golden Star
Kitsune are able to create pocket dimensions, however, they often require a great amount of time and energy to manifest, the Golden Star Okari is created as an unlock-able source for creating these pocket dimensions easily. They do however, take time to recharge. As such, they aren't suitable for battle purposes, unless used to escape. - Seismo- The Gray Cloud
Kitsune are naturally agile and roguish beings, and once upon a time relied on magics to create spells that helped them in these endeavors. However, Arcane magics were a lost art for Hadyn's Kin. Instead, they used their Okari to produce similar effects. Seismo was one such Okari. Seismo creates a magical mist that reduces visibility greatly. It was created with magics that would allow it to resist gust and strong forces of wind that would wish to do it away. Seismo can also be used inwards, to instead, create a veil of correctly formed water particles, giving a mirror like effect, and causing the user to appear nearly invisible.
- Ryuu- The Dragon
Enlightenment
- Tails of the Fox (3 Tailed Fox)
- First Tail
A Kitsune who has come to age and into his power, has already unlocked the First tail. This tail gifts the new Kitsune with it's natural and Spiritual abilities as a Kitsune, connecting him/her with their Fox Spirit. - Second Tail
The Second tail begins to enlighten the Kitsune, opening it's eyes to the energy that surrounds all things, Ki. The Kitsune is now able to see and manipulate Ki within it's own body and manifesting that energy in simple ways. - Third Tail
As a Kitsune develops it's third tail, it becomes aware of the massive usage of Ki, and able to manipulate it in more complex ways and patterns. This ki can also be used to manifest the Fox Spirit outside of the Kitsune's body, although they are still strongly connected. - Fourth Tail
This Tail has not been unlocked - Fifth Tail
This Tail has not been unlocked - Sixth Tail
This Tail has not been unlocked - Seventh Tail
This Tail has not been unlocked - Eighth Tail
This Tail has not been unlocked - Ninth Tail
This Tail has not been unlocked
- First Tail
