   Keys: Kitsune, Yu Ri clan · Secondary: Kitsune, Yu Ri

   General:["Kitsune, trickster foxes. They are a type of yōkai, a class of supernatural creatures with godlike powers, often equated to the ghoul or demon. Kitsune are noted for their paranormal abilities, particularly metamorphosis."]

   Maturity:["Considered mature either at age 200 or when they've grown four tails"]

   Kitsune stories:["Depict legendary foxes as intelligent beings and as possessing paranormal abilities that increase with their age and wisdom. According to Yōkai folklore, all foxes have the ability to shapeshift into human form. While some folktales speak of kitsune employing this ability to trick others – as foxes in folklore often do – other stories portray them as faithful guardians, friends, lovers, and wives."]

   Tails:["The more tails a kitsune has – they may have as many as nine – the older, wiser, and more powerful it is. Because of their potential power and influence, some people make sacrifices to them as to a deity. The nine-tailed fox is supposedly so powerful that they can see and hear anything happening anywhere. They also have an infinite amount of wisdom. Even better, if they live 1000 years, they will turn white or gold in color and become a tenko, a heavenly fox who ascends to heaven."]

   Reputation:["Tales of kitsune are about foxes punishing wicked priests, greedy merchants, and boastful drunkards. They do this by confusing their targets by creating phantom sounds and sights, stealing from them, or otherwise humiliating them publicly through trickery or even possession. Mysterious illusory fires and strange lights in the sky are said to be caused by their magic, and are known as kitsunebi, or 'fox fire'."]

   Behavior:["Kitsune are often portrayed as wild, occasionally wicked foxes, who delight in mischief, pranks, or evil. They are often seen as tricksters or sometimes even powerful sorcerers who use their abilities for evil. Even so, they are known to keep their promises, repay any debts, and remember friendships."]

5. #5Race Relationsconstantselective

   Keys: Race relationship, races, race relations, elf, gnome, dwarf, human, orc

   Elves: Elves generally consider other races (Dwarves included) to be far less sophisticated than them. Each of these are a point of contention between the two races. Dwarves fail to appreciate elves' subtlety and art, regarding elves as unpredictable, fickle, and flighty. Still, elves and dwarves have, through the ages, found common cause in battles against orcs, goblins, and gnolls; and elves have earned the dwarves' grudging respect. Elves consider Dwarves as dull, clumsy oafs. But what they lack in humor, sophistication, and manners, they make up in valor.

   Dwarves: Dwarves get along well with gnomes, who are often regarded as close cousins of the dwarven race. Dwarves are accepting of humans, half-elves and halflings. Dwarves often do not get to know humans well as they live longer than the average human, and prefer to become friendly with the human's family in general.

   Humans: Mixed. Generally neutral, but humans have a tendency to be considered the standard.

   Tieflings: Tieflings, in general, don't get along well with the other races of the world and are slow to trust others of any race, even their own. Tieflings are slow to trust other races as a result of their heritage and subsequent treatment by others. They can be shunned by society, so they become reclusive and aloof. They do establish relationships with half-orcs on occasion since they, too, experience mixed heritage prejudice.

   Orcs: Traditionally, orcs tend to be a more nomadic people, but there is nothing to say that enclaves of them existing socially with others is unheard of. If you view them through the lens of their various cultural touchstones, you basically have a semi-nomadic people that would also build some small cities or villages ala Vikings. People who build cities often trade with others on occasion, and people who trade together develop societal relationships what would allow "outsiders" to feel at least tacitly welcome living among them. Orcs are nomadic, violent, aggressive, power hungry, BUT accepting of other races (with the exception of elves because an elvish god blinded the main Orc God). Orcs mate with almost anything and often have non-orcs in their armies, particularly large creatures.

   Gnomes: With strangers, most deep gnomes are sullen, reserved, and suspicious, almost to a fault. However, when they are alone with their own kind, they are friendly and respectful to each other. Few people from outside a svirfneblin community have ever seen this more pleasant side of the deep gnomes. Among those gnomes who lived in the caverns of the Prime, dwarves were often counted as friends, due in part to the two races' physical and cultural similarities. Additionally, dwarves and gnomes both counted goblins and giants as enemies and could often be found working together against them. Relations with other races Gnomes, in general, are a reclusive people who'd rather stay out of others' affairs. Though some races interpret this as cowardice, it's more the case that gnomes simply have nothing at stake in the conflicts between most other races and after centuries of being ignored or stomped on, are not particularly eager to fight someone else's fight. In fact, generally speaking, gnomes are a very courageous and good-hearted race, who frequently use their neutrality as a way to negotiate disputes. Of all the races, it's fair to say that gnomes have the fewest enemies, although they have very few friends as well.
