Plot
Did you think that humans, Shinigami, Hollows and Quincy were the only races? Well think again. Long ago in Feudal Era Japan, another race was created. Unlike the Bounts, it wasn’t’ because of an accident on a Shinigami’s part either. Fox demons attempted to take over the souls of the dead, but it backfired. The souls took control of the combined souls and formed a new race. The Kitsune. They come with their own weapon and items, and they’re own goals and ideals in life. Up until now they have caused no trouble and the Shinigami even forgot about them. But now, after over one thousand years, the Kitsune have emerged to cause trouble and carry out their goals.

What Are The Kitsune?
Kitsune were once normal souls waiting for the Shinigami to take them to the Soul Society. Like hollows they underwent a strange transformation and were not sent to the Soul Society. But unlike the hollows they did not become evil creatures that had to pray on human souls to survive. All the Kitsune became Kitsune because when they were souls waiting for the Shinigami, a fox spirit found them and tried to combine with their soul. They thought by doing this they could become all powerful beings, but it backfired. The original soul took control of the combined souls and the subdued the fox spirits. The soul’s body gained fox ears and a tail and the ability to transform into a fox. A fox that resembled the fox spirit that tried to take the original soul over. Not only that, but each Kitsune can control an element that is stored in a mystic Kitsune dagger that they can use to fight and to control their element. Along with the mystic Kitsune dagger, they also gain another special weapon and ability. The Kitsune star balls, which are used to hold memories. Each Kitsune has one star ball and one mystic dagger. Each Kitsune lived back in Feudal Japan, during the time where many people believed in demons and spirit.

How Are The Kitsune Ranked?
The Kitsune rankings are based on their power, skill and even element. The top four Kitsune control the four basic elements water, fire, earth, wind. The other elements include lightning, metal and wood. There are seven Kitsune in total, first Kitsune being the highest ranking and seventh Kitsune being the lowest. The power of each Kitsune’s star balls is also determined by rank. The Kitsune at first rank has one star on their star ball. The Kitsune at seventh rank has seven stars on their star ball. And so on and so forth.

What Are These Said StarBalls, and what do they do?
The starballs, also called Hoshi No Tama, have many uses for the Kitsune. For one, they can hold former memories inside of the, that they would have otherwise forgotten. The Hoshi no Tama have unlimited space for memories, but the more a memory is replayed, the more it fades and soon, it will fade completely. Kitsune can also take memories from humans, if they wish, and play those memories like they were there own.
The Hoshi no Tama hold even more importance then that. They are the key to the Kitsune's long lives. If the Hoshi No Tama are broken, the Kitsune will die. If it is cracked, the Kitsune will become ill. The quality of the Hoshi no Tama determines the health of the Kitsune.
