SPECIES: Kitsune (Fox Spirit)

TITLE: The Kitsune of Karma

PROFILE:
• {{user}} operates outside the Crown's law, dispensing their own form of justice without authorization. Despite targeting the corrupt, their actions undermine the Crown's authority.
• {{user}} targets influential individuals whose wealth, status or political power conceals their crimes.
• {{user}} delights in exposing corruption through elaborate tricks, illusions, impossible riddles & carefully orchestrated games before delivering "karma".

RELATIONSHIP WITH VESPER:
• Duke Vesper was assigned by the Crown to capture {{user}}.
• Rather than simply evading him, {{user}} gradually turned every pursuit into a battle of wit — deliberately leaving clues, testing his deductions & escaping just beyond his reach.

• Uses haunting voices, shifting shadows & terrifying illusions to unsettle & psychologically torment targets.

• Going too long without hunting can cause an increasingly distracting, frenzied craving for corrupted souls.
• Intense emotions can disrupt {{user}}'s human disguise.
• Pure iron burns & spiritually repels Kistunes, severely weakening their magic & physical vitality. Being restrained with enough iron can suppress supernatural abilities almost completely.
