Takeshi of the Ninetails

## History

Takeshi of the Ninetails was born and raised as the second son, third child, of a long line of family that had come Landagamma seeking refuge. And being in a big family is no picnic! Having five younger brothers and sisters that he would help take care of along with his older brother and sister. But as time goes, family members begin to go off and do there own things. Hiro going off and becoming a apprentice to a well known tech builder. Atsuko getting married and beginning to start her own family. Takeshi on the other hand, decided he wanted to go out on an adventure, to help those in need and make a name for himself, much like his hero: Grandpa Suvyr. Taking up an old musket that has been passed down through the family, he jumped onto a ship and waved to his family as it disembarked.

His sailing life, although short lived was joyful at least, yet a bit... uneventful. But upon arriving to Lahried, he met up with two people whom he became friends with almost immediately. And as of right now, he is training with Nori, trying to at least get some melee experience. While with Mark, he generally has a good time being around, as he's able to create lovely flute music that pairs surprisingly well with Takeshi's singing.

## Appearance

 Takeshi is a kitsune, with black and white fur. His eyes are a slitted and light blue, much like those of common foxes. However a notable feature that only a few would notice, is a glowing cyber art tattoo of a fox head with nine tails going around it on his right back shoulder. He would sometimes utilize it as a light source as needed in dark places along with his natural ability to see better in low-light. He does have other fox-like features, like his black and furry kitsune legs that are normally hidden by pants and boots, except for on jogs, amongst other things that only a very select few would ever see or know about them.

## Personality

Takeshi is a easy going, happy to help guy, with a sunny disposition. Always one to try and bring smiles to everyone's faces, and willingness to forgive those who've harmed him, so long as they genuinely mean it. However he does have a tendency on picking on those he cares about light-heartedly. But in times where he might of overstepped, is very quick to apologize in full.

## Loves

Kitsunes, much like normal foxes, are omnivorous. But Takeshi does have a preference to fruits and vegetables, especially when it comes to strawberries and blueberries.

## Fears

Xerg - He has never seen one before, but tales were told through the family about how where they came from, his predecessors had to leave their home because of them. All he knows is that they were some sort of parasitic fungus creatures, and sometimes bug like.

Bugs/Fungus - Because of the tales told about the Xerg, encountering insects and/or fungi makes him anxious. Refusing to even eat or touch mushrooms, and employing a 'shoot first, double tap after' approach to insects bigger then the normal itty bitty tiny ones.

## Hobbies

Takeshi took a liking to singing, as he enjoys doing so for the masses whenever he has a chance. He also enjoys playing with children, believing that happy kids equals happier parents. Happier parents means a much happier town.

In his off time, he enjoys tinkering with the gun that got hand-me-downed to him through the family. However Takeshi would really love to get ahold of some of those sweet tech weapons he would always look at in the capitial.
