Tekishozen Species Sheets

KITZENKOSHI
The primary species on this planet is the Kitzenkoshi, or Kitzen for short! 

They are the majority population and are the elemental masters. The world of Tekishozen was created by gods and goddesses that the Kitzen descended from, so their ancestors are the gods and goddesses of this world. 

They are a Kitsune like species, and their number of tails reflects how well mastered in their magic they are. The Kitzen can master any of 13 Elements! Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Energy, Healing, Poison, Light, Dark, Audion, Illusion, Mind, or Feeling. There are sub types for some elements that come with special gifts or particular specialty training like Ice, Lava, Plant, and Kinetic Energy! HOWEVER, 4 of the elements are taboo and considered cursed due to their origin of selfishness and evil. Audio, Illusion, Mind, and Feeling are these elements. While they are rare they do occur and many decide to not train in it due to ridicule and discrimination.

ANATOMY
Every Kitzen has fox like tails, cat like eyes, non human ears, elemental powers, and special markings!
They also have sharp claws and fangs, and are Omnivorous. Some may file down their claws if they so chose, and some may adapt different diets.
They can see well in the dark and focus well with their sharp eyes!

The markings on a Kitzen reflect their element and are present from birth. They ALWAYS have solid colored palms and foot bottoms BUT, they do grow/change, and better develop over time, but reach a final look around 18. The markings do not glow or posses any magical enhancement. Think of them as birthmarks! Some may even get tattoos to add onto the look of their markings or cover them up. Markings follow the element: if a Water Kitzen has purple markings, the water they create will also be purple.

Kitzen wear a wide array of clothing! In more traditional areas you will see them wearing loose flowy clothing in unique patterns and colors to their region, or tightly wrapped fabrics for more mobility. In more modern cities you will see them wearing a huge variety of clothing in thousands of styles. You never know what you'll see! However, in traditional areas most don't wear shoes and some only wear sandals, while in modern areas there are often new kinds of shoes. It's a new thing to them.

Kitzen's colors in their fur, hair, markings, and eyes tend to reflect their element! There exists dye and styling but by birth they tend to really LOOK like their element. For example; Water elementals may have sleek fur that's water proof or wavy, with blue-green tones, Fire elementals may have fur that's wispy or wild and have red-orange tones, and Energy elementals may have wicked untameable fur with yellow to green tones. Again these are very basic guidelines and each Kitzen is different!


TRAITS AND RARITIES

HORNS

-Kitzen commonly have either no horns, or 1-2 horns, and have feels that are smooth or naturally textured.
-Uncommonly they may be seen with 3-4 horns, and may have antlers or have a swirly bend to them.
-Rarely you will see them with up to 5 horns, or with unique shapes/textures/materials.
Horns can be any color/colors and can be painted.

EARS

Kitzen have one set of ears. 2+ sets of ears are considered a mutation.
-Commonly you will see ears of fox-like shapes/sizes.
-Uncommonly you'll see ears of the cat or dog shape and size, and even ears with tufts at the tips.
-Rarely you'll see super huge ears, bunny-like ears, wing-like ears (please note that wing ears are mock-wings, not feathers), or elf-like skin ears.

TAILS

-1-4 tails is most common! Between children/teens and those who never hone their skills and live peacefully and casually, lower tail numbers make up most of the population.
-Uncommonly you will see 5-7 tails, those who are in progress of training or got to a decent level and stopped.
-Rarely you will see 8-9 tails, those who pushed and went all the way. These Kitzen have huge respect points and are usually well known by the public and their region!
-More than 9 tails are a blessing. Kitzen cannot earn a 10+th tail, and are only granted them by a deity - or in INCREDIBLY rare cases, are born with them.

Tails also have a variety of types.

-Normal, Poofy, or flowy tails are very common.
-While Thin or silky tails are uncommon.
-SUPER LONG Tails are rare.

FUR

Fur can take on any texture/shape/color and may be styled and accessorized! Fur is located on the ankles, wrists, over the upper shoulder, and hips. 
-No fur, short, or medium fur is very common to see.
-Long fur is uncommon.
-Extremely long fur is rare!

RARE TRAITS

-Paw feet and hands are not a common sight, but are common enough on Tekishozen not to be considered a blessing. Some Kitz just have a bit more fox in them!
-Unnatural skin tones are another sight that aren't considered too odd. Markings come in all colors, after all- it's the same with skin. ("Unnatural" skin tones refer to any skin tones that cannot be found in real life on human beings. This includes pure black, and pure white, as well as 'undead'/greyish skin tones.)

SPECIAL TRAITS

-Halos are typically considered a blessing from a Kitzen's deity. Kitzen who possess them are typically considered 'touched' by their deity.
-Floating orbs are something that appears to Kitzen with high power, and they are used to store this additional magic energy that the Kitzen's body cannot handle. The balls will reflect their element in its raw form.
-Wings are typically found on air elementals but have been seen on others before!
-Multiple elements are a strange case that are considered typically very powerful. A kitzen born with two elements may choose to train one, or both, and worship either one, or both patron deities.

MUTATION TRAITS

Mutation traits are essentially unlimited! There is a short list of disallowed traits, which can be found (HERE). Other than that, sky's the limit.
