His "incognito" form is the one he typically takes when he does not wish to be recognized as a fox. However, people who know him generally know this form as well. He never bothered to keep his identity a secret, but he also never bothered to think of a better name for the form.

His "True Form" is his default appearance when taking on a humanoid form.

One of Jin's favorite acts of mischief is flirting with drunk men. Really any men, but drunk men fall for his tricks the easiest. This is the form he uses.

Jin's fox form is his most "natural" form. Aside from taking on a humanoid form, he can transform into a fox. However, he finds it much easier to mess with people when he's able to mingle...

[b]Items:[/b] Leaves for his transformation spell. His hoshi no tama, a glass orb that is the source of his power. He usually keeps this in his stomach, but can cough it up at will if he wishes to. 

[b]Abilities:[/b] As a fox spirit, Jin has physical abilities beyond that of a mortal. He is stronger, more swift, has heightened senses, and has higher stamina than even a physically fit man. He also has claws that can easily cut through an enemy's flesh. He also has a rather fickle intuition for detecting good fortune. His most significant ability, though, is his manipulation of foxfire. Foxfire is a bright blue flame with various illusory effects. He uses the flame to alter his physical appearance, and he can use it to create a variety of images. With the flames, he can also create small wisps, which he can link his senses to and see and hear from a distance. Finally, if provoked to anger, Jin can use his foxfire to burn as a mortal flame would. 

[b]Background:[/b] Humans often classify foxes with every other mindless beast of the forest, but the truth is that foxes have a certain connection to the spiritual plane. The minds of those foxes that survive long enough will eventually awaken, and they become sentient creatures with extraordinary powers. Jinichiro Kongetsumaru is one such fox. Upon awakening, he longed to be a part of the world of mortals. The creatures were stupid and short lived, but by the gods they knew how to have fun.

His first forays into mortal society resulted in many loyal friendships... which then seemed to end in the blink of an eye as his mortal companions passed away one by one. The pain of loss was difficult for a young spirit like himself to cope with, and he returned to his secluded life in the woods. However, grief passed and he once again took a few tentative steps into the mortal realm. This time, he refused to become attached to any transient beings. He enjoyed himself, made acquaintances, and did as he pleased. This often came at the expense of others. He played all sorts of tricks, bought drinks with money that turned into bark after he left, and was even run out of a few towns that didn't have a very good sense of humor. 

[b]Other:[/b] While Jin is a trickster, he is not malevolent and only takes part in "harmless" pranks. He despises senseless destruction and is likely to stand up against it. Those that are willing to put up with his antics will also find that is heart is not completely hardened. While he carries an aloof demeanor and would never admit to having made a friend, one would be hard pressed to find a more loyal companion.
