Iseul Kim

Kitsune Physiology - Iseul possesses the traits, attributes, and abilities of a fox demon. Such abilities include illusions, foxfire generation and manipulation, and the ability to shapeshift. Shapeshifting is limited to going between a human, fox form, and something in between. These abilities grow stronger and more varied with age, and the strength and age of a user can be determined by the number of tails they have (up to nine). Enhanced senses, speed, and stamina are passive.

Iseul currently only has two tails, so his abilities, while impressive on their own, are not as powerful as they could be. Limited mastery draws more energy than it needs to when using his abilities, and creating wide-scale illusions for more than half a minute will cause a debilitating migraine. He sticks to much smaller illusions for this reason. He finds shapeshifting uncomfortable and itchy, something that should fade with age, and he often forgets to hide his ears and tails in human form.

Abandoned in the mountains of Busan, Iseul was taken in and raised in the Buddhist temple of Beomeosa. He was sheltered from the outside world, so much so that he was unaware of the burning prejudice against his kind until much, much later. He only understood that he needed to keep his abilities hidden around outsiders. It was because of said outsiders that he eventually learned of a place that welcomed them with open arms. In the dark of night, Iseul fled the temple that had been his sanctuary for so many years, borrowed some clothes someone left hanging to dry, and stowed away on the next ship out to Ashford Isle. He has been in full tourist mode ever since.
