Kitsune Shan

   Kitsune Shan was a minor character from a prequel adventure – however, he survived, and has come into play several times since then. Since he just got exposed to a version of the war-wiring technology that’s been magically modified to install itself, and has been scooped up by the Mandate (and thus has been given an opportunity to get into their stock of magical toys and – possibly – enhancement effects, it’s time to put up a current character sheet.

   Story: Shan acquired his powers – and human-level intelligence – as a cub, and grew up hanging around a small fishing village (and swiping food and chasing the girls). Since Bane Mummies and Superheroes have entered his life, things have gotten much more exciting.

   Human Form Height: 154cm (5’1″), Human Form Weight: 48kg (106 lbs), Sex: Male, Age: 3, Race: Chinese Fox

   Appearance: In his natural form, Shan is a not-quite-full-grown red fox. Technically he’s a demon-fox, a legacy of the Darkstorm which swept over the planet a few years ago. His aging is slowing as he approaches adulthood; he may not quite reach full size – and his last couple of pounds in fox-form – for some years.

  1. Everyone is a bore to someone. That is unimportant. The thing to avoid is being a bore to oneself. -Gerald Brenan

    Technically, I suppose this is spam: on the other hand, for once the link is at least marginally relevant: survival gear comes up pretty often in role playing games. In appreciation of a marginally-relevant resource, I’m going to allow this link. -Thoth.
