History

Nobu isn't one for lingering on themselves in conversation. He likes to remain out of the spotlight, and would rather someone else be the center of attention. As a result, it's very hard to get him to actually open up to others. What he did before coming to Lilypad is greatly unknown. What is known is that he apparently came to Lilypad from somewhere in Japan with two other Kitsunes, and strangely, a naga. The kitsunes are apparently family, but his connection to the naga and why they all moved to Lilypad is unclear.


Personality
Quiet, reserved, polite towards others. Doesn't go out of his way to help, but will usually do something for anyone who asks, no questions asked and no payment requested. His motives seem strange at times, and because he doesn't like to talk about himself, it's hard to gauge what his intentions of doing these things are. Often hides behind different forms, to further distance himself from his true self; though it's usually not difficult to know its still him if you actually know him. Talks very highly of people he considers in his inner circle, and seems almost doggedly loyal to them.

Forms/Outfits List

  • His number of forms are limited by his tails. At current, he has seven tails, which means he can use a maximum of seven forms, including his base kitsune. (This is correct lore-wise, he is still bound to the group's form restrictions)
  • A foxfire flame hovers over his tail while performing any kind of magic. It can be produced at any point regardless, but the use of magic inherently causes one to appear, if not multiple.
  • The beads he wears apparently symbolize something culturally significant to him, with the hair bead relating to a coming of age ritual and the charm tied around his belt supposedly holding his soul. The later is unconfirmed, but the charms tend to always be present on his person.
  • "Poor Richard" Font

Abilities and Powers:

  • Transformation - As a kitsune, Nobu is naturally gifted in the art of shape-shifting. He is limited in forms by the number of tails he currently has, which means until he grows another one on his 800th birthday, he can only hold onto a max of seven forms at a time, including his base kitsune. Each form currently used is represented on the tail by a string of beads. Transformations can be broken if Nobu is startled enough. (He is still limited by group max of 6 forms, but in flavor text its 7.)

  • Foxfire - Kitsune magic often takes the form of a ghostly flame, and Nobu's is no different. When he uses his abilities, it's often with a shower of eerie blue flames. Additionally, a flame hovers around the tails when magic is being used.

  • Mild Psychic Abilities - Kitsune transformation is the most common use of their powers, but they can make use of it in other ways. For Nobu, these include telekinesis, creating illusions in the immediate area (Creating fake visuals, weak smells, and some sounds. Touch and taste cannot be effected, and the illusions are very easy to break should he lose concentration or someone simply walks through said illusion), and mental suggestions, though he tends to not make use of this one (Note, in the case this does get used, it is only under a strict consent of the owner of the other character, and is rather weak in the long run.)
