[hider=Nick the Kitsune] Name: Nicholas "Nick" (this character lacks a last name) Appearance: While he's usually in his fox form, when he's actually in his human form (which he hasn't actually done, yet), he looks like a rather scrawny, pale, somewhat tall man. His orange hair seems to match his fox form's fur, and he has brown eyes. He typically wears whatever happens to be convenient at the time, often wearing dull-colored peasant clothes when forced into his human form. Like others of his kind, he still has his ears and tail while in human form. Age: 20 Gender: Male Sexual Orientation: Straight Personality: Nick is usually friendly, curious about things, and more than eager to try new things. He's also a bit too talkative for something that's supposed to be good at hiding. Ever since a certain event (detailed in the Bio section), he's had a hatred of horses, and ever since another event, he's harbored a strong disliking of wolves, not to mention people who turn into them. Nick also despises almost all vegetables, though he doesn't mind most fruit for some reason... he will, however, eat any meat, no matter how raw, even if he's in his human form, which can be dangerous for him. Starting Class: Kitsune Starting equipment: Beaststone, Vulnerary, Bamboo Pole Bio: Nick was born into a rather isolated den, with few members outside of his immediate family, and fewer still interaction with humans. In fact, he's only heard them in name, and passed them off as a sort of fairy tale, something that's not real, like magic, or forest fairies. Regardless of this, he and the rest of his kin still learned what they called the 'language of humans', which Nick had to laugh at, since, again, he thought they weren't real. Once, after his lessons, and during play time, he and his sister Hannah were throwing around a bamboo pole, and, after a few rounds, Nick caught it, and a strange, armored thing riding on a horse ran by. He thought nothing of it, at first, and at first, he was more disappointed that he couldn't catch up to the thing to eat it... but then he tried to throw the stick to his sister... and she didn't catch it, ever. Nick walked over to her, only to see her dead, her pelt taken, and some sort of weird, pointy stick through her head. He returned home with the bamboo pole, which they were using as a stick, as well as some mental scars... he thought horses were cowards, always running away whenever they saw a snake, or a moving bush, or even a kitsune, but that one... that one was out for blood, his sister's blood. He almost couldn't believe it, and the shock of his sister dying made him silent for the next five years. His parents and other siblings tried their best to cheer him up, to get Nick to speak, once more, but for five years, their attempts failed. He even refused to stray from his den, even during playtime. A few of his siblings, his mother, and his father all gave up long before he said his first words after that, and those words were "The horses will pay," this was bittersweet to his family, on one hand, Nick was speaking, again, but on the other, he just swore vengeance against an entire species. From that day forward, he vowed to take revenge by killing any horses he saw, and, just his luck, it seemed like he had a knack for knowing where to attack them, and he's had quite a bit of success in hunting the cowardly things, though, he never saw one with another armored... thing on it, ever again. After finally speaking again, he tried to describe it to his mother and father, but they seemed to call that thing a 'human'... but that didn't make sense, those things were only in stories, like dragons and flying horses, right? A few years passed, and misfortune struck his family once more, as wolves, or something that looked somewhat like a wolf, at least to Nick found their den, and destroyed everything in sight, managing to kill Nick's big brother, and poor Nick wasn't fast or strong enough to stop the strange almost wolflike creatures, so he and the rest of his family did the only thing they could... they ran, like cowards. At first, it almost seemed like Nick was going to do the same thing he did with the horse and the thing, that is, fall silent for years, and then declare that he would make the species extinct, but, once he got far enough away from them, he simply asked "Those things are our enemy right?" to which, his family nodded, and he responded to their nod with a simple "Good," Nick has been wandering around in New Capita ever since that incident, and, even after having explored a decent chunk of the place, things still manage to surprise him... such as these strange, giant wooden things in the water, and dens for unknown creatures made of stone and wood. He didn't know what to call a place that had that many dens, but, he just had to get closer, right? Whatever these things held had to be interesting, just based on the design... and worst come to worst, he'd just face off against one of those weird wolf things, again, and have to run away if they're too strong, right? Nothing bad could possibly happen if he tried to enter one of these dens... right? [/hider]
