#kubo reina

[willoffate]

Some of the main cast of my (currently unnamed) kitsune xenofiction story!

In order: Akimitsu Miyata, Daisuke Kubo, Hibiki Fujioka, Reina Miyata, Takuya Morishita and Tsubasa Morishita!

The kitsune society is similar to Warrior Cats' society, but structured differently with different roles and functionality of the groups. Groups of kitsune are known as Skulks, and have a Head (leader), one or two Flanks (leader's second in command), some Whiskers (healers and mediators), occasional Paws (assassins/spies for the Skulk), and Claws (normal Skulk members).

Aki and Reina are Skulkless kitsune exiled from their old Skulk, known as Mavericks.

The others are members of the Falling Wisteria Skulk, with Takuya being the Head.

The kitsune are able to change into human and fox forms, however, in the main storyline, a spiritual disease known as the Soul Rot is spreading, making kitsune sick if they switch forms. Their bodies and souls become unable to handle the transformation, and they begin to "rot away" if they continue to switch forms. The only known cure is to stay in one form.

Reina has the Soul Rot, but due to being Mavericks, her and Akimitsu don't know what the Soul Rot is, and Akimitsu works an average human job as a server at a restaurant in his human form to be able to afford to take his sister, who stays in her fox form, to the exotic/wild vet. When Akimitsu's coworker, Hibiki, starts to take interest in him, however, his life begins to change- with the Skulk trying to forcibly recruit him and Reina.

I plan to write this story as a series of novels, and am currently in the plotting phase!
