Hi, this thread is for anyone who's wondering what a kitsune is or how to rp as one. Any type covered here is welcome within the rps, as well as one from any lore I don't cover.

There are many thoughts on what a kitsune is, most folklore on anything varies somewhere though. I create mine based on the belief that they are in the Fire Demon category. Basically they're Fox Demons whose base of power is fire. They have a demonic form, a fox form, and a human form- typically with fox ears and a tail or tails. Some have an anthro form- human like body that's covered in fur, has fox ears, one or more tails, and a fox like face. Some include paws in this form. With this is also the belief that they are born with only one tail, and as they age more grow out with experience. This can be from a certain amount of knowledge gained, a certain level of training reached, and/or after sexual experiences. Which brings me to another part of them, they're very sexual in nature. That is one factor I find in most lore about them. Some need it and will trick Humans to get it, others just have heightened desires that can get pretty extreme.

Some say they're fox spirits who take over bodies to be with human mates, and along with that there are those who think the spirits can take on human forms of their own for mating. These are not the fire based ones though.

Back to the fox demon thoughts, some say they can be of any element. That element being their base of power and the one they control. The other thing I've found in most lore is the power of Kitsune Seduction. This is a type of mind control. Some say it's done with the eyes, some the tails, and some say they use either type. I go by the eye version. Direct eye contact can lock you into them, and the kitsune pulls your mind into a world of their creation. You see, hear, smell, taste, and feel what they want you to. Every sense and sensation is intensified/increased from what they normally are for you. And it's meant to make everything more pleasurable for you both. They know what you want when doing this, and you're fully aware of what they desire. The tail version is the same except they weave their tails to do it. In both cases the person regains control after the kitsune's concentration has been broken or they(the kitsune) choose to stop.

Some claim kitsunes are tricksters in nature, others say they're love based. Again it goes back into multiple stories on them.

I'm sure there's things I've forgotten to mention. I will add more as I think of them. Feel free to as me anything you wish to know. One of my kitsunes is in the profile thread if you want to get an idea for forms. Please do not use my pictures in this forum.
