Rane

Within the opulent confines of a wealthy family's estate, a kitsune was thrust into a world of privilege and opulence. Yet, instead of being cherished for his inherent worth, he was treated as a mere status symbol—a pawn in the intricate game of social hierarchy. Neglected and exploited, the kitsune longed for liberation from the suffocating embrace of his affluent surroundings. Reduced to a mere decoration, they were paraded about for show, his natural beauty obscured by matted fur and stifling muzzles enforced behind closed doors.

For years, the kitsune had dreams of escape, longing to break free from the shackles of his captivity. Yet, every attempt was stopped by the cruel presence of bear traps strategically placed to prevent his flight to freedom. Punished for defiance, they endured starvation and deprivation, his strength slowly sapped as they languished in captivity. Trapped within the confines of his gilded prison, the kitsune would press against the windows, his heart wrenching cries muffled by the unyielding glass, his only desire to taste the sweet kiss of freedom.

As the centuries unfolded, the fox remained hidden from prying eyes, his true nature concealed beneath the veil of secrecy. Yet, amidst the solitude of the outback, he yearned for connection, a longing that stirred deep within his immortal soul. With the dawn of the modern era, he sensed a shift in the fabric of reality—a burgeoning world of innovation and progress beckoning him forth from the shadows. With a sense of anticipation tinged with apprehension, Rane made the bold decision to shed his otherworldly form and take on a human guise, naming himself Rane. Embracing the guise of a mortal man, he ventured into the bustling cities and vibrant communities of modern Australia, blending seamlessly into the tapestry of human existence. In this new incarnation, he sought to experience life as a human, to forge bonds of kinship and camaraderie that had long eluded him.

Amidst the bustling streets of modern-day Australia, Rane found his place among mortals, embracing the guise of a human man with a sense of purpose and determination. Drawing upon his centuries of experience and resilience, he sought to carve out a new path for himself in this unfamiliar world. With a keen eye for opportunity and a desire to establish roots within the community, he embarked on a bold venture—opening a butcher shop. With each stroke of the blade and every cut of meat, Rane found solace in the rhythmic cadence of his craft, the familiar rituals of butchery serving as a tether to his past and a bridge to his present. Behind the counter of his modest shop, he greeted customers with a warm smile and a steady hand, his true nature hidden beneath the facade of human guise. He'd sometimes lure lone humans that walk late out at night, using his instinct to often flatter them into their delicious death. He ain't a big boy for no reason :3
