Long ago, thousands of years of history built up to this legacy…
An ancient fox tribe was at risk of constant threats, their leaders failed to acknowledge them and their own people were taken and kidnapped. As the issues grew worse, one fox stood up to lead them all to safety. The fox had nine tails, considered godly and almighty. He led them to safety and restored peace to the village. Natian was the name, and people accpeted them as their new leader. But conflict never resides, it always comes back. A new threat arrived and kidnapped Natian and some his people. Natian was forced to watch them get brutally murdered, all up until he was the last one remaining of the group. After a public execution at the strike of midnight, Natian was murdered… It was said that during the night, the rest of the village had the exact same dream. A dream where Natian’s spirit told them to not worry and to be strong, saying that he will do his best to protect and watch every single one of them for the everlasting future…
Now in current time, the fox species has thrived under his protection. Foxes were split into groups, there were regular foxes and rarer ones that had nine tails, along with everything in between. It’s said that the more tails, the higher the royalty the fox has decended from. Each and every fox is given a protective blessing, a power in which will save them in a life threatening event when needed. Though rarer foxes have stronger powers to protect them given it’s hard for them to repopulate.
But where does that leave us?
A young red fox with not one nor nine tails, but just a mere two tails lives his life the way he thinks is best. With a somewhat positive attitude, he goes on playing the game of life by ear, not really making plans and going where the wind takes him. He spends his free time working (barely), playing games, or at the gym.
The blessing Felimare was given was immortality… except not really. Felimare can still die except it only matters when he’s outmatched. Say if he gets shot without any warning, he’ll be severely injured and in pain, but he won’t die. You could stab him an infinite amount of time and he wouldn’t die, but it would still inflict the same amount of pain. It’s like beating a horse but the horse is living on a thin string of life and refuses to die. However, if Felimare is evenly matched and has put up his own fight, there will be no protection at all, his life is now in his own hands…
He’s given an astral brother named Ash, a gift from Natian himself! Ash was made from the stars, and only comes out in the dark of night. He can appear during the day, but it takes a lot of energy from him. The two have a brotherly bond and Ash is an extra set of eyes watching Felimare from above.
