Kitsune

Kitsune Physiology

Kitsunes are a race of hybrids that are a mix of humans and foxes. They range in color from brown (all known as common brown) to the higher class reds. The color of their fur often sets their place in society. Not to be mistaken with the Kitsune Royal Family who has silver hair. The royal family is actually dormant Kyuubi who have yet to awaken their true potential.

Common Browns

Common browns are generally laborers with little chance of excelling at life and are generally looked down on. They make up a majority of the Kitsune population. A majority of the enlisted military is made up of browns. Browns are more likely to excel in the military if they work hard, where as in the general labor force they would not. Life in general for common browns is not hard, but they do not have it as easy as reds.

Higher Class Reds

Reds are generally fill a more upper class role both in the work force and in social life. It is rare to see a red doing manual labor, it usually only happens if they break the law and are outcast. If reds decide to join the military they generally take roles as officers. Life is fairly carefree for reds although they do not see it that way. Instead they feel the pressure of having to keep up with high society on a daily basis.

Magical Abilities

Kitsune magic generally is centered around healing and illusion. Like most races they are able to cast magic from many different schools but at a lesser level then their primary area of focus. Often time Kitsunes using illusion magic will cast a spell from a different school to make the target feel as if they where hit by something else. One common tactic would be to cast a fireball and use illusion to make it look bigger or even to make it look like something that could help them.

Healing Magic

Their ability to heal friendly forces on the battle field makes them an important addition to any military unit. Most Kitsune are unable to heal very deep wounds due to the fact that they must see what they are putting back together. Instead they tend to heal the outside to stop bleeding out. They then cast additional spells to help the body heal itself. Although heal time is much faster then traditional methods it still takes time for the subject to fully heal. Usually after getting healed they are able to return to the fight an still function at a reasonable level. These abilities often require Kitsunes to be on the front line of the battle.

Illusion Magic

Kitsunes have strong illusion magic that allows them to turn the tide of many battles. Although not an outright attack, they have the ability to cause confusion or control the movement of the enemy forces. Most Kitsunes are unable to cast this magic on a grand scale and generally only in their immediate area. For healers they tend to use this magic to draw attention away from those who are injured while they attempt to heal them.

Society

The Kitsune race is the dominant race on the second planet. As such the Kitsune Royal Family is considered the primary leadership for the entire planet. They are in charge of the planets military forces also.
