 Rules... well the normal Modifox rules... will add more if needed • Follow all of the main shop RP rules. • Try to avoid one-liners. If you get caught up in something else but don't want to lose your post please put: "Will post more later." in parenthesis. • Keep OOC conversations to a minimum. We are all friends here most likely we all know each others messenger accounts and can pm one another. • Respect the shop, other owners, the foxes, etc. • Talk in (), [], {} <> or something similar when you are OOC. Also change size to about nine or seven • No God-Modding.its bad...mmkay

A spiral forged with crimson blood
This is my pact, my soul, my life.
With the power gifted to me I will protect the ones I hold dear
This is my Crimson Oath. The Shinku Chikai believe heavily in the concept of Karma, and believe that ones retribution for the sins they commit comes during life, not after death. A belief that parents instill by telling children that Tamamo-no-mae will eat all those who have evil spirits.
Tamamo-no-mae is the deity they worship, and presides over Karma, and is said to judges those who follow her during their life and allow them to become one with her after their death.Until their souls has been purified and they are released to move to their next life.
The Shinku Believe that The phenomena of the red moon is a sign of Tama releases the souls she has stored up since the last occurrence. It is at this time the tribes people pray for their relatives safe travel to their new life.
The Shinku try to gain Tama's favor by taking an oath upon reaching adulthood, or joining the tribe to protect the ones they care for, and helping those who are in need. By reciting the crimson mantra (seen above), followed by imprinting their paw-print on a rock in the center of the tribe. From here they are officially under Tama's watch and protection.

Our Story:
The Shinku Chikai tribe has been around long before Humans found the first Modifox. They have gone through over 10 elders in their history, In ancient practices when an elder passed on, their next of Kin would take over. However with the last Elder Rinko's passing there was no next of kin as both her children were still BCR's and unable to take on responsibility. When one child passed before birth the counsel decided that the death of both one child and the elder on the same day, was a sign from Tamamo no Mae that the tribe was doomed to fade from the history books, and all members disbanded and went on their ways, never to see one another again.
Years later, a female fox began to wonder why her mother was never seen or heard from. Her father decided it was time to take her on a trip to the burial grounds of the Shinku Chikai tribe, where her mother Rinko was buried, and where she was to rebuild her family's legacy and take up the mantle of elder.
To be continued...

Life for a child in SC:
A kit who has recently hatched is kept with their parents, as it is highly believed that family should always be top priority for anyone seeking Tama's favor. As a kit grows they can however be taken for short lesson periods and be taught basic survival skills if the parents cannot do so themselves. It has not been a rare occasion to see the elder or her council taking this task up themselves. During these lessons which last only a few short hours and mostly consist of "learning through mimicry" are built to allow trust between mentor and pupil to grow, and instill the basic tribe values of family, loyalty and selflessness. When reaching adulthood the child is given the choice to join the tribe or leave to go find their own happiness, or other tribe, however they are encouraged to keep the ideals instilled in them as they go through the trials of life.
For an adult member:
A kit who has reached adulthood and decided to stay with the tribe, or an adult who voyages to the location to join are required to take the Crimson Oath, where they swear to uphold the tribes ideals. This Is done once a month when the moon is full. this is said to be the night Tama looks away from her duties to watch over those who have decided to be her messengers.
It is after this that members are allowed to take up the Shinku's crest, and become an active contributing tribesman. Where they will help all those they come across on travels, those tribesmen who need a hand, or foxes who wander in.
When an injured fox wanders in even if it is an enemy, Shinku Chikai foxes will put all strife behind and assist the downed fox, and if possible try to gain the subjects favor and try to convert them to the tribe, or at the very least gain an ally.

The Shinku call the forest their home, specifically a forest that houses an ancient shrine dedicated to Tama. The original elder made a pilgrimage to this shrine to seek the deities guidance and was given a vision as to Tama's wish. The tribe was then built around this shrine whose location is between a mountain and a large lake.
The Lake:
This is where the tribesmen go to bathe and hunt for fish. There is a river that leads to a waterfall where the elder has been often seen meditating and trying to communicate with Tama.

 Hiyoko stood in front of the place her father had brought her to before leaving to go make sure everyone ele was okay.
"Mommy...."she sighed wanting the fox who lay in the ground before her to hug her.
Aurum had told her the story of How he came here. Starting from when he ran away from A tribe known for being purely daeva, to her grandfather finding him and taking him in, he had explained to her that that part of his life was now a blur as he tried to block out the initial bad in his childhood.
He explained how he grew up with Rinko her mother, and was there when her Grandfather died, and her mother was forced to become elder. He told her of how years passed and the 2 became closer and fell in love with each other and became mates, until her father discovered her mother was pregnant with her and her sister, whose BCR was buried wth her mother, aong with her own, (Aurum had explained that he buried Hiyos BCR after she ran away, and he came to the conclusion that she was dead. Aurum had also told her of the tribe he came from tricking her mother, and doing a false surrender after a long battle between the tribes. Her mother was stabbed and left to die in Aurums arms. She lived a few days longer...long enough to give birth to Hiyoko, and Hanako, (Hanako not surviving)
But now Hiyo was back to the land she was born on, to the tribe which was now abandoned, to rebuild it and take up the mantle of elder, as she was told was her duty.

 A brightly colored fox was sitting beneath a tree, looking up at the sky, watching animals run or fly by. It really was peaceful here. And for once, CeeCee wasn't anywhere near where she was. It really was good to hear nothing but nature. No insesant talking, no insisting on playing games. A small smile appeared on Fleur's face. Alright, so she didn't mind the talking or games. Fleur was just lonely so she was complaining as a way to ward off the feeling. She really shouldn't. There might be a day Fleur needed CeeCee's help. Why talk badly about the other female? With a sigh, Fleur stood up and dusted herself off, picking a few leaves off her arm warmers. She started walking in a random direction.
