## History

*Many cultures have stories of the fox spirit. The Japanese have the Kitsune, playful tricksters who can change into a human form. The Korean Gumiho, who eats men's livers to survive. The Chinese Huli Jing, who seduces and steals human essence. Are these stories correct? Mostly. All of these stories tell of the same creature, although through different views. Ours is the tale of one such creature, born into our world, many years ago...*

*Long ago, a wandering spirit difted into the body of an unborn baby boy. He was born healthy, and lived a fairly normal life for a child, playing, making friends, and being happy with his family. One day, the boy was playing out by a stream, playing on a log that crossed over it. The boy lost his footing and fell into the rushing river, carrying him far away from his home. When he washed ashore, he cried because he was all alone, and didn't know where he was.*

*The boy walked and walked through the wilderness, hunting and eating what he could to survive. For years, he wandered. Miraculously, he came back along to his village. Excited to be home after all these years, the boy raced through the walls, but was only met by strange stares. Unbeknownst to him, his body had changed. Long ears had sprouted on his head and a tail now followed him wherever he went. The villagers chased him out of the town, not wanting an unfriendly fox in their home. The boy was forced to be all on his own.*

*By the stream once more, he caught his reflection in the glassy water, seeing his true self for the first time. Saddened by the seeming loss of his humanity, he retreated into the forest, and began to craft himself his own home. While doing this, he noticed his body was stronger, faster, as his powers started to finally grow and awaken inside of him. Though, even as he marveled at having fun with all this new power, he soon drew bored and sad once again. All alone and with no one to turn to, he slept... for a long time.*

*One day, the boy heard a noise that disturbed his sleep. As he awoke, he was shocked to see how the world had changed around him. Trees had become skyscrapers, birds had become airplanes, and creatures of the forest had become... humans. Though the cave like den he had carved out had remained untouched, enshrined even by the local people. He turned to the noise that had awoken him in the first place, noticing a slight glow in the corner, as if it was hiding out in here with him. He reached out to the flickering spirit, beckoning toward it. "Hey... are you lost? Frightened?"*

*The spirit was taken aback. No one had been able to see him, until now. Those two became fast friends as the boy named him Jack, his spirit companion. Taking the name of Tempest for himself, the two set off to explore this brave new world, together...*
