Kou Sutcliff

He had forgotten how to feel entirely. 

Kou was born in an ancient shrine deep in the forests of Japan his parents being a human man and a beautiful kitsune disguised as a women. Kou's parents loved and cherished him but they were not aware of the deep troubles he faced in his head everyday. Being half kitsune he had an incredible sense of hearing and he slowly developed a singular tail. The hearing drove him half insane and he was often bullied at school because of his tail and pale slightly fuzzy skin. He often spent his time alone in the forest where the world stood still and he didn't have to hear a sound. Here he would experiment on himself to see if there was anything to be done about his situation. One day when the bullying was particularly rough he left school with scissors in hand and gouged out his ears in an attempt to never hear again. It worked, sort of. He was almost completely deaf and was found later by his parents in the woods and taken to get medical attention. Life got hander and harder for Kou since then. He assumed that destroying his hearing would fix his life but it just made it worse. He was in more pain then he had ever been in his life, he lived alone both parents passed and he lost all drive. He had one wish in his life and it was to cure those who were abominations like him. One afternoon while he was wandering the woods alone he encountered three hungry remnants of a kitsune spirit that had been split in three. He took them in and fed them parts of his soul, in return for his kindness (hopelessness) the kitsunes would grant him what he had desired. This came in the form of an opportunity to work in an underground doctor facility for creatures and a pair of new kitsune ears he would then sew onto himself granting him his hearing back. The facilities work brought him to Venice where he would experiment on various hopeless souls looking for redemption, his soul slowly being eaten away. His life would change forever when he meets a certain patient.
