Creature: Kitsune
Origin: Japão ("kitsune" means "fox" in Japanese)
Type: mythical
Lifespan: immortal (technically)
Weaknesses: icy weather or water saps their energy, high metabolisms (meaning they must consume mais comida than most humans to stay healthy)
Strength is drawn from: other kitsune, heat, red meat (so... not really vegetarians)
Common traits: quick tempers (especially when around other kitsune), glowing irises at certain times
Summary: First documentation of a kitsune was in the 4th century A.D. as creature of myth in Japan. Full blooded kitsune have the ability to shape-shift into any person or a select specie of fox. Half-bloods cannot shape-shift. The most common trait of this creature is its nine lives (full bloods, when in raposa form, have nine tails). However, these nine lives come with a price. For one, all kitsune, full or half blood, die for the first time soon after they are born. This leaves them with eight lives growing up. No lives can be regained (supposedly way back, European fishermen travelled through the sea of Japão to trade in ports East Asia. There were constantly attacked por territorial kitsune. One fox, recognizable for its almost black pele, peles that caused it to be mistaken for a witch's black cat, was killed again and again until it died for good. This is where the Europeans got the saying "a cat has nine lives.")
Secondly, every death leaves a scar or injury that is either physical, emotion, mental, or a combination of the three. Physical injuries will heal enough to keep the kitsune from dying again por the same injury. The mais lives that are lost, the longer it takes to heal.
3: there are few kitsune left in the world. Starting in early 15th century and lasting until the 19 century, witch hunters mistook many of these shape-shifters as magic wielders. Witches themselves also fought and killed kitsune due to territorial disputes. Because of these reasons, most of this species has been wiped out or driven into secluded locations such as mountain ranges.
4: Clans of kitsune, which can be family or unrelated, are rare. This is due to there being few left as well as the avoidance of having to deal with a bunch of hot headed foxes. Also, the head of a clan is deemed the responsibility of carrying the memories of each kitsune's lineage- which is the memories of the lives and deaths of ancestors of each kitsune. These memories often occur during dreams. Other kitsune can have memories of a select few ancestors, but leaders are the only ones that can have every single one, willingly or not.
5: Due to the same lineage connection that allows a kitsune to share the memories of an ancestor, members of this species often feel "displaced." This means they feel as if they belong to an earlier time period, supposedly that of an ancestor of which they are strongly connected. por embodying the language and customs of said time period, a kitsune can suppress the feeling of being "displaced" as well as avoid the memories shared with an ancestor and the quick temper associated with this species.
6: When kistune are dying, their bodies focus on getting them to safety before their bodies shut down. This instinct causes a sobrenatural anger and strength that protects the injured individual, as well as disabled the minds ability to feel pain. While in this state, they rarely recognize anyone or thing. This state is also accompanied por glowing irises.
7: Kitsune can technically live forever, until all nine lives are spent. However, the "curse of the kitsune" is that these beings attract much violence and death to themselves and the people around them. This keeps most life spans about that of an average human, if not less. This has also earned them the cursed name "shinigami." A shinigami, in Japanese myth, is a harbinger of death. This is about the equivalent of a demon in western culture.
8: A common practice of parents of this species with half-blood children is not telling their children about what they are. If a kitsune does not know about their ancestry or abilities, the memories shared with ancestors are suppressed. The ability to come back from death is explained as miracles, but you can imagine that this excuse only works so many times. Most kitsune realize or suspect what they are, though most half bloods never learn of all of their true heritage.
Last, but not least: members of this species often identify por how many lives they have left with a fraction. For instance, one who has lost two lives would be 1 of 7, three lost lives would be 1 of 6, etc. Those who have lost the most lives are said to have "lived the most lives" and are regarded as the eldest and wisest. It is said that the kitsune is whole when they are 1 of 1, where the seguinte death would result in final resting death.

"So you're just going to let him leave to D.C.?" Lexi stared at her older brother.
"Yup."
"You're stupid! That's crazy you idiot! He'll get himself killed!"
"No he won't."
"Yes he will Jaime! He'll kill the President, be banned from the Military and THEN die!" Lexi folded her arms across her chest.
"He won't kill the President Lexi, stop daydreaming."
"Then you obviously don't know him."
"Actually I do, but you don't. Dad is going to D.C. for a meeting with House of Representatives, and the President to talk about what was stolen from the Navy." Jaime put his hands in his pockets, staring and his little sister.
"And what makes you think he won't go crazy?"
"Nudge will keep him under control. Trust me." Lexi almost dropped the phone that was in her hand.
"Nudge? I thought she retired."
"Nope, and Jack will be with her. Things will be fine." Jaime opened his wings an soared upwards. "You coming início or what?" Lexi sighed and followed him.
"Yeah."
"Yup."
"You're stupid! That's crazy you idiot! He'll get himself killed!"
"No he won't."
"Yes he will Jaime! He'll kill the President, be banned from the Military and THEN die!" Lexi folded her arms across her chest.

"I'm trying to find a present for Holly, but have no idea—hey!"
"Uh-oh." Barbara said. "No."
"C'mon, Babs!"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"I'm a fiery red-head, azevinho, holly is a sexy blonde."
Sam smirked. "You find azevinho, holly sexy?" he asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.
Barbara's blue eyes widened. "I mean, you see her as—that is to say that from the male perspective—"
Sam nodded in a "go ahead" gesture, but the Gothamite just glared at him.
"Go to hell, Grant."
"Someone's not happy."
Barbara hid her face behind the magazine.
"Uh-oh." Barbara said. "No."
"C'mon, Babs!"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Why not?"
