role A Traveling Trickster
Arcurio is a Nightmare Kitsune, born from a Kukan (void) and seishin (spirit). He controls his surrounding through visual, auditory, and dimensional trickery- inhaling the black mist he expels from his Kiseru (golden smoking pipe), will cause you to eventually enter into his Nightmare domain. inside his domain, anything he touches becomes liquified metal, with a rainbow sheen to it. If you are turned into liquid metal, the only way to escape is to make the kitsune laugh. but beware! if he does not find your joke funny, he will become enraged- essentially engraving your soul in the metal of his Kiseru for eternity.

No one knows where he came from. Some say he appeared out of thin air, others say he was cursed, but no one is quite sure, not even Arcurio himself. Arcurio spent most of his early days training his magic through small pranks. A little slip here, a small rumour there. Nothing harmful, but a common annoyance. As he grew older and more powerful, his pranks started to change. He could now create illusions, which while not super convincing at the beginning, began to become more and more real as he practiced. Each day he’d train, using the creatures of the forest as his chosen targets. He’d create illusions for hours at a time, perfecting each little detail. Once he mastered visual, he spread to auditory and sensory, creating illusions so real they could harm you, much like their creator. With these powers, he began to lure people to him to devour, and even as times change, they have not failed him once.

A Light and its Shadow
The town of Misusage, the booming center of lumber and stone-quarry, was the center of a major conspiracy after 14 rotting corpses where discovered. Death was no un-natural facet in this world, but the manner in which these corpses where discovered was chilling. Each of the girls where forcefully shoved inside each tree on the outskirts of the town, a hole the size of a young woman was carved out to hollow the tree trunk before the victims were placed inside and sealed shut with tar and beeswax. A detective ( Akira ) was sent to the town to supervise the mortuary process- the bodies no longer had their skin, and their blood appeared to be sucked dry. The head household overseeing the village, The Kastukages, where brought into questioning- alongside the quarry captain and the lumberyard chief. Nothing could be taken as evidence since the trees in which the victims where found where accidentally burned to make a clearing for a new building. A shrine was to be constructed on that terrain- when questioned, one of the townsfolk suggested that a spirit deity was angered and the corpses where a form of compensation for the ravaging of the land. The detective Akira visited the Katsukage household one last time to pry any final information. He overheard the head of the household, Yusei Katsukage asking the Quarry Chief to falsify a potential new victim location inside one of the unstable mine shafts, the chief grasps the insinuation of what was truly being asked, then walks away. The detective knew he meddled too deep, and snuck around the mansion- sensing how hes getting closer and closer to that final piece of evidence. He wanders into one of the rooms, dimly lit by a couple of rose scented candles by the bed, the sheets are covered in rose petals, and underneath laid a pale, frail woman. her sickly visage made her akin to another found victim. Upon getting closer to her, he noticed that she only took one breath every 40 or so seconds. And unnatural looking woman performing such an unnatural breathing pattern gave Akira a massive hint as to what brought the death of so many innocent young women. A man of great will does everything in his power to give his wife a fighting chance at life, even if it meant the death of many others. He collided with an evil spirit to absorb the life-force of innocent girls, and did every dirty action to make sure Akira couldn't obtrude. Akira had everything he needed, and with the risk to his life growing larger and larger, he snuck out of the room and came face to face with a shadowy figure. The Quarry chief went to the detective's guest room, but he was nowhere to be seen- The detective was never seen since, not in the town or in his capital city.

A foul conception
The tree spirit was satisfied, and the contract for which man and monster signed off now came to fulfillment. As per the contract, half the soul that the spirit stole from his wife will now be returned to her. In addition to the soul, a maiden will be presented to the family as a token of appreciation by the spirit. The maiden was a Kukan, a kitsune who will serve as the bond between the people and the trees as well as a token of good fortune for the town. A passed and the Katsukage Head and his wife had a boy, destined to wed the kitsune and create the fortune bond. The kitsune resided in a lavish room on the newly constructed shrine and many years would pass before the son of the Katsukage family would have his coming-of-age ceremony. During the for aforementioned ceremony, thunderous clouds covered the sky and the winds fastened. The shrine began to shake, and other buildings soon followed the eerie trembling. Roots emerged from the dirt and stone, holding the buildings in place and protecting them to the unnatural forces. The people became anxious, then terrified. The Kukan Kitsune- given the name Aloi, quickly held the hand of the firstborn of the Katsukage, named Neji, and demanded the ceremony priest to make haste. Then out of the blinding light from above, a ray of light impaled the the roof of the shrine, setting the roots holding it in place ablaze. A domino effect occurred in which the flames gobbled the adjacent roots till every plant-life was burning to a crisp. The townsfolk fled the ceremony site- followed by the quarry miners and the Katsukage servants. Neji, terrified, looked deep into the eyes of Aloi- fearing this god-sended storm was targeting her life. He was later proven correct when a roar echoed through the clouds and a powerful lighting strike created a giant, electric serpent. The serpent aimed for Aloi and dove to strike. Stuck in fear, Aloi could not move her body, her eyes widened- for the figure that pushed her away from harm was now in harms way. The serpent struck Neji, the lighting strike that recoiled from the impact burned through his flesh and tore his limbs apart. In a fit of rage, Aloi conjured forth bountless vines to render the serpent momentarily impaired, with the roots digging into its fiery flesh and rotting the serpent from the inside out. The distressed Aloi runs to the remnants of Neji and began the ceremony once more. His soul emerged from his corpse and the two souls melded into one soul being before the serpent was freed itself.

Fate Spares no Monster
I got too lazy- so basically Arcurio is born from the souls of the Kukan kitsune and the human merging into one, therefore the fortune bond was sealed and he was made. He has no memory of his past life(lives?) and no recollection of the spirit tree which is now assumed dead. This bothers him greatly, so he seeks to become stronger in order to recover his memories!
Mother
A Koukan Kitsune created by an evil forest deity as a token of good fortune in exchange for souls and vitality.
Father
Firstborn of Yusei Katsukage, the head of the household and Town overseer. In order to form the Bond of Fortune, he was tasked with marrying the Kitsune sent by the deity, the two find comfort in each others situations and eventually fall in love.

Raikan was given the duty of interrupting the ceremony and killing both the Kitsune and the forest deity
