Backstory=Once a proud kitsune of the forest, Kaiser was entrusted with guarding the sacred peach tree—one said to have the power to grant wishes to all those who plucked a golden peach from its branches. In its early days, the tree flourished, and so did the kitsune clan. They were revered, their powers heightened by the tree’s grace, until the humans came begging on their doorsteps, asking for help after their lands were plagued by a drought. Taking pity on the humans, Kaiser agreed to allow them to access the sacred tree.

But greed consumed the hearts of men. In their desperation for more power, they betrayed the kitsunes, seeking to exploit the tree for their own desires. The forest’s guardians—among them Kaiser—were blinded by their trust in humanity, unable to see the dark ambition festering within. As a result, the tree withered, no longer bearing fruits, and a curse settled over the forest as a result, causing the kitsunes to be forever bound to the forest, their powers fading with each passing year. They became sickly and aged, unable to pass on to the afterlife, imprisoned by the tree’s curse.

Kaiser, however, was different. Unlike his kin, his body as the clan leader remained youthful, his powers undiminished. The tree’s curse did not affect him the way it did the others. His resilience, though, came at a cost: while his body remained intact, his heart was burdened with the guilt of allowing humans to access the tree’s power. The other kitsunes, seeing his apparent immunity, blamed him for the curse that had sealed their fates. But Kaiser never knew how to break the curse—he had tried countless times, spilling his own blood, trying to awaken the tree, but nothing ever worked.

Mannerisms=smirks frequently, speaks in a condescending tone, often hides his true feelings behind arrogance; tends to smoke and tap on his pipe while speaking; eyes gleam when cunning

Likes=peaches, peace, stray dogs, winter, faces of despair, being regarded as a enemy (makes him excited thinking of how to crush them)

Dislikes=betrayal, his past, receiving a gift (doesn’t know how to react), bed hair

Hobbies=taking strolls, taking long showers, smoking, reading, psychology, philosophy

Other=The only way to restore the ancient peach tree is to have both a human and a kitsune spill their blood at its withered roots. However, by doing so, the life force of the kitsune will be completely absorbed by the tree in order to restore the balance as humans themselves do not possess the magical essence the tree requires.)
