physical description: (1-2 paragraphs)In fox form, Kaito is a red fox with typical black legs and a white chin, chest, and tail tip. His fur is copper colored with slightly redder part on his ear tips and his back. His eyes are the color of amber. In eflin form he has long shaggy copper hair, he's about five feet four inches tall. His skin is milk pale. He has a sharply pointed chin, small pointed ears, a pointed turned up nose and a perpetually mischevious expression. In meta form, he looks much the same, only his teeth are pointier, his fingers end in little pointed claws, and he has a fox's tail and ears.

personality: (1-2 parahgraphs)Kaito is both curious and adventurous. He loves to try new things and go new places. He's fairly intelligent and has an especially good sense of direction. He likes to play pranks on people, and he can go a little bit overboard sometimes. He'll do just about anything for a thrill, and that's probably why he is a theif. He's quite sneaky and cunning, a good hider and a very good liar. Kaito is quite limber and athletic, he's an active, restless person who hates to sit still. He's very neat, to the point of being nitpicky. Like most kitsune, he's easily impressed by money and he loves luxury. He dreams of being rich one day, rich and famous. His biggest flaw is that he's very impetuous, its rather suprising that it hasn't got him caught.

history: (3-4 paragraphs)Like all kitsune, Kaito and his littermates Akemi and Minoru were born in the forest of Saggitae. But as soon as they were old enough to shapeshift, their parents brought them to Zodia, where Daiki's brother Takeshi runs a pawn shop. Kaito and his siblings loved in the Fox Palace with most of their extended family, and for the most part, were allowed to run wild. when Kaito was six years old, he joined the Thieves' Guild as a novice. He soon developed a reputation for being able to get out of any scrape. But it was soon after that he began to show strong elemental powers with both water and wind. His parents knew what would happen if his rapport ever got out of control, so they sent him to the Water Temple to learn to control his elemental powers. He was happy at the temple, and quick to learn, but he got in a lot of trouble for his pranks, and sneaking around.

He took the vows of a noivce at age thirteen, for he hoped someday to be a monk. He withdrew from the Thieves Guild and began to learn more of the skills of the Water Temple, and he took classes at the Wind Temple to learn to control his secondary rapport. For a while, he seemed to settle down, and the priests felt he showed promise. But Kaito began to get bored. When he was sixteen years old, he ran away from the Temple and rejoined the Thieves Guild under the assumed name of Mizuko.

For the next several years he lived hand to mouth as a thief in the streets of Zodia, but eventually his reputation grew and he began to get more and more difficult jobs. He relished the thrill and challenge, and he began to grow in both wealth and fame. So much so that he began to attract a different sort of customer, vampires from the Temple of Night, Kaito disliked working with such people, yet he could not afford to anger them. And the jobs they gave him were even more challening and interesting than before. Finally, just two eeks ago he received the hardest assignment ever, something that would be the crowning achievement of his career. He would break into the Order and take something very precious from within their walls.


sample post: As Kaito walked the streets of the North Quarter near to midnight, he asked himself whether this job was worth it. Even in fox form he could almost feel eyes on the back of his neck. He didn't like vampires, but apparently they paid well. He didn't even have the heavy jangle of his purse to reassure him, he'd left that at home, just in case. Now Kaito came to the appointed meeting place, a dimly lit alley next to the Midnight Theatre, and he forced himself not shiver in foreboding. His contact had not yet arrived, but then, he heard a slight noise, like a whisper of wind, and there she was, all cloaked in black to hide her white skin and hair. But Kaito knew just the same, he could smell the blood on her breath. He had to shake off the urge to cower.

Now that she was here, he transformed to elfin form, it was easier to speak that way. There was only a moment of disorientation and then she smiled at him with wicked teeth. "I like you better this way Mizuko." Mizuko was his code name, his cover. "You look less vulnerable..yet somehow, more edible."

He refused to rise to the bait. "Well, are you going to tell me about the job or not," he said, perhaps more harshly than he intended, but she only smiled.

"Yes, yes, I know how impatient your kind are. Well, the task is straighforward, you must steal the Star Egg from the Order."

Kaito yelped in surprise. "Surely that's impossible!"

"No...not with our contacts. We have someone, someone inside the Order itself." Her voice took on a tone of smug satisfaction. "You will meet with this person, and with their knowledge you will be able to infiltrate the order. The meeting will take place tommorrow, at the noon bell, beside the grand fountain in the central garden. You know where that is, I trust."

"Yes," he replied through clenched teeth. Everyone knew where that was. Even with a contact, this was the most dangerous job he had ever undertaken. If he was caught..well truthfully that wasn't likely...but what was likely was that the Star Egg would be much too heavily gaurded. "And what is my payment, should I deliver the egg to you?"

"If you deliver the egg, at midnight on the solstice, we will give you 1000 ginkou." Kaito grimaced, that was hardly a fortune for such a dangerous task. "But more importantly," she continued, "we will not be drinking the blood of little foxes, sir Moriko."

He gasped. She shouldn't know that name, he had thought his true identity well-hidden. "Now Kaito, don't fret," she said in a silky voice. "I would never divulge your secret as long as you remain true to your word. And just think, shoudl you succeed, your name..or rather the name of Mizuko I suppose, will live in legend as the greatest theif of all time."

Kaito Moriko swallowed. He couldn't refuse now...and she knew it. Just as she knew how the thought of fame would tempt him. His nose twitched. "Fine, I will do it. But this is the last time. After this, I'll have no more need of adventures."

She laughed. "As you say. Well then, I will see you on the solstice." Then she was gone. And Kaito resolved to get out of the North Quarter before his wits failed him.
