Canon/Original: Original Codename: Kitsune Real Name: Shirokazi, Asuka, current alias Nakatani, Hoshi Nickname: Devil Fox, the red fox Age: 26 Gender: Female Appearance: She appears to be asian in descent but bears some features that are chinese and others that are clearly japanese, she is rather delicate looking in facial features with a small nose and almond shaped brown eyes. Her black hair is kept long but instead of wearing it out she has a carefully wound bun on either side of her head, however when she does have her hair out it goes to the middle of her upper back. She is rather lithe in build though for her region of descent she is taller than most women, standing at five feet and eight inches with fairly narrow shoulders and a slightly taller neck. Her hips are wider by her shoulders by about an inch, but otherwise she has a slightly less angled hourglass frame. Clothing: She dresses as she desires most often, though being that she is something of a black sheep to a more traditional family her style of dress shows that. She often wears skirts that never go down below her knees, and their often wider and pleated over smooth and tight. For tops she favors short sleeves or spaghetti straps, and often more loose fitting but closer to tight looking. She will always wear a long sleeved shirt or stylish vest over the shirt she is wearing as well, though her sense of style is more for clubs than anything else. If she must dress formally she wears Chinese dresses as well as flat soled women's dress shoes over heels, but she always dresses to tease and yet never look too much like she is putting herself out. She tends to wear knee high socks, and when in her casual look she wears white stylish boots that go up to the middle of her calf with dark purple silk lacing along either side. Her favored colors are whites and purples, and she always color coordinates. She is only ever seen wearing a silver chain with a amethyst and silver pendant in the shape of a fox for jewelry, other than that she will not wear any other jewelry unless she ever gets married. Her outfit is a white traditional ninja outfit, that has many pockets in it for hiding things but no hood over head. Instead she has a simple white cloth covering her face, that peaks just below where her eyes meet the bridge of her nose. She keeps one sword on her back and a Kusarigama in her sash as her only visible weapons, though the sash and outside of the tabi on her outfit are dark purple. She also has a similarly colored bandana tied with the tags of cloth tucked into it around her left uper arm, with the kanji for Kitsune on the wider part that faces the outside in white. Weapons / Armor / Gear: Weapons She carries a Katana and Kusarigama whose blades are made out of steel folded approximately twenty times for optimal blade strength, they are both fairly plain in decoration and only bear the mark of the man who made them. The katana has a purple leather wrapped grip with a brass colored guard, and cap at the bottom of the hilt. The Kusarigama has a dark purple leather wrapped oak handle, with a two foot tungsten/steel blend chain on the back that ends in a traditional bell shaped weight. Other than that she carries a variety of thrown weapons consisting of shuriken and kunai mostly, though she does carry some bola's most of her thrown weapons are designed to kill. She is also known to possess a blowgun with darts that are often poisoned with a sleeping toxin, and a butterfly knife in case her sword is disarmed and knocked away or for using unnoticed when right against an opponent or target. She also carries Makibishi which function like caltrops to slow down pursuers, or in this day and age also blow out tires to slow down pursuing vehicles. gear She carries your typical gear most people have today for personal use, a smart phone and the other usual items. However she also possesses specialized gear that is more traditional, usually items used in her work that are for distraction or survival. Such items consist of eggshell bombs filled with various irritants, smoke pellets, flash pellets, fire crackers, and other such small and concealable items. She also carries traditional survival foods, and climbing gear. Her vehicle of choice is a motorcycle, purple and white street bike that has standard plates and a fox along the left hand side of the gas tank. She now also has a pet that has been with her for two years now, a Japanese red fox named Kitsune-bi. Her personal assets are now measured in more than she used to have, between the insurance payout of her family estate and whatever assets she has made in her busines dealings. She is estimated at having at least two hundred million on average, between business holdings and black market dealings. Skills / Education / Training: Skills She is formally trained in the old ways of the ninja according to the Iga clan traditions, and as such she is most proficient in the Katana and the Kusarigama for weapons. She is also a trained black belt in the arts of Ninjutsu and aikido, but these are her only notable combat skills as she is trained in espionage and subterfuge as dictated by the traditions her family has upheld. She is trained in the following list of skills, and is just as proficient in one as she is in the other which makes for versatility depending on what skill is needed at the time. Stealth Eavesdropping Mountain survival Forest survival Domestic skills Disguise Seduction Deception Lock picking Sleight of hand She is also trained in more traditional tactics, and when to use them in a situation. Though she knows four techniques better than others, and they are all techniques used for hiding and distraction. The following list is the four skills she is better with out of the variety of traditional techniques. Hitsuke - The tactic of starting a fire elsewhere to draw the guards away from her planned entry point. Tanuki-gakure - The tactic of climbing a tree and hiding herself amongst the foliage. Ukigusa-gakure - The practice of throwing aquatic weeds over them to conceal underwater movement. The most common weed is duckweed, but would vary by area and what is commonly found. Uzura-gakure - The art of curling herself into a ball and remaining perfectly still to make herself look like a stone. She is also trained in breathing skills that are used in focusing mantras and meditations, as well as how to make many traditional tools and survival items that have long been a staple of survival for extended periods of times. She is also proficient in speaking and writing Japanese, mandarin, english, and Thai. Education She was home schooled to accommodate her strict training regimen and she attended university back home in Japan for three years before finishing university in the US, her field of study was medicine as she was intending on becoming a nurse or if she was able to make the grade a doctor. However she was educated in four languages, as well as the more traditional ceremonies and practices of her homeland. Overall most of her education went into her true profession, as well as the code that is associated with it which even though she was on bad terms with her family which she still followed through to their demise. Training She has spent most of her life training her skills and body, and through such training she has developed herself to become quicker and more durable than others. While she can only bench about 150 lbs, she can run a mile in approximately six minutes and fifty seconds. In fact she often trains her running by running in marathons and participating in triathlons. She has also trained in gymnastics and to some degree acrobatics, so she is very lithe and nimble because of that training. Her ability at swimming and holding her breath under water is also been honed to a fine skill through such training, she can go for two and a half minutes underwater before having to come up for air. Another aspect of her training was how to step lightly and move without making a noise, and as such her abilities in stealth and avoiding being detected are on a level that makes it hard for a police officer or the common person to notice her. Though she is trained as well in observation, and nothing really escapes her notice so she can tell if things are out of place through her grandfathers training regimen. Powers: Blending: She can match the color of her body and her outfit to match her background, thus enabling her to appear invisible when she is still and unmoving against it. This is best used in low light conditions, and on still backgrounds so it can remain consistent. The more complex the surface the more she has to focus, and it is useless when trying to use it on a surface that is moving against her. This is also attributed to the unique field around her that allows for her full range of vision, and is affected differently though by the same weakness. Since then this power has grown in capability, and she now can retain her look against more complex backgrounds with less focus, and even move at fifteen percent of her normal speed against simple surfaces without breaking pattern. 360 degree vision: She possesses a strange light warping field around her that enables her to perceive visually everything around her in a three hundred and sixty degree field of vision, it possesses an above average range of vision compared to an enhanced vision level for sight. This field is active at all times, but does have some drawbacks that are mentioned in weaknesses. In the last few years she has sharpened her vision to become even better, though more of this focus was placed on her vision in low light and almost complete darkness. Thus her ability to see in the dark has improved even if the overall total level of vision quality has remained the same, though the weaknesses remain unchanged. Weakness: She has one key weakness that stems from her known field of vision, despite the benefits of seeing all around here she is also able to be hit more easily with temporary blinding effects from all directions. Thus making her vulnerable to such attacks and effects, when they hit she is forced to delay long enough to get her bearings back and loses precious time as well as impaired chances of defending or dodging attacks. If there is little light the effect of the attack Her ability to blend with things also does not work as well when in bright light, or under the effects of similar things which will throw off her sense of focus and vision. The visual disorientation also lasts for five more seconds than normal, reducing her field of vision to that of a normal humans. Wearing dark glasses has no effect on it, as the dark glasses only effects things right in front of her. Personality: She is a very organized individual who focuses on her tasks when she is at work or on a job, and finds herself annoyed at distractions that deviate from it, therefore she will laugh at jokes but anything when she is concentrating she may likely strike at the distracting annoyance. The tradition has been ingrained into her, even if she has escaped it to some degree she is still very traditional in a more liberal sense. However this does not mean she is forgiving at all, she is very unforgiving and stern when someone crosses her. She is also loyal to her friends and employer, and would not hesitate to kill to defend her friends or protect whoever is hiring her in order to complete her job. She is however estranged from her family and any mention of them or asking her about them brings a harsh answer, she refuses to even speak to them even though she refuses to tell anything about them and keep their secrets to the grave. Though she shows her softer side at work she is not that person, that softer side hides the staunch professional she is. In fact she is really someone who does not take things lightly, and her sense of humor is a bit abrasive and coarse. She also hates humans and forces herself to co-exist even if she wants to kill them sometimes because their very nature of hatred towards mutants infuriates her. However those humans she calls friend know she is a mutant and are sworn to secrecy, to betray her trust is to potentially earn a death mark if the transgression is severe enough. To gain her loyalty is a boon as she would not betray that trust, as in the world she lives in trust and secrecy are two seperate things and yet they both exist in a precarious balance. History: Her mother was from China and her Japanese father came from a line that can trace it's roots back to the ancient Iga clan of ninja's, in fact they retained many of the traditional teachings and techniques even after the ninja went into decline and then became merely part of history. She was the second eldest of four siblings, and the only daughter of the Shirokazi family in her generation. The problem was she was born as a random mutation, and her abilities were not known about till she was ten years old. Her grandfather started training her from the day she was able to walk in the ways of the family, in fact her family was often suspected of many ill doings that remained unproven by the countries police force. They were a family who dealt in assassination and subterfuge provided the client could meet their fees, the cover was a longstanding and established chain of bakery's that started in Osaka which had been there for over two hundred years initially. She grew up in a more rural area however, raised by her grandparents and mother while her father tended to the family cover business with her older brother Toshiro. Her life was not easy and each day was a test at some point, she could not get away with slacking or failure on her part. Thus she was always pushed to excel, and grew up with no friends and isolated from having a major social life as it was a hindrance and would leave her distracted. Thus a bulk of her life went by only really going out if it was a treat, or if she was out running errands in town. Nobosy knew what the family business was, and they just assumed since they were of a longer lineage they had ancestral inheritances. As the family had been in the area since the early 1600's, in truth the chain of bakery's owned by the family only accounted for a third of their financial holdings. The family even had a properly trained swordsmith, so they were known for another thing. Traditional hand made blades, crafted from a more modern style of home made exceptional quality Japanese steel. Being a mutant was seen as a blessing and not a curse, and she was also trained to hone her abilities to their best extent for the sake of furthering the family's true business. Nothing changed till she was permitted to attend Tokyo University to get an occupation that would help her in the real world, for when she was to marry or live on her own. In fact she had seen many suitors, but her grandfather dismissed them all as they did not meet his standards. Really he was in charge of the family and ran it with a fairly tight fist, which nobody objected to. In her three years of university she changed and found the city life quite appealing while maintaining her focus and training, though it displeased her family to find out she was going to clubs and hiding a boyfriend she was involved with from them. This is where the split happened that left her family and her estranged, to the degree she was not kicked out but she was denied support or inheritance. One night after they met up for a date he disappeared, and week later his wallet turned up without a body. However she had been able to figure out he was killed as she received a warning from her grandfather in the mail, plus she had been passed up for any inheritance because she was a mutant and she had deviated from the family tradition. It was less than week before she left the country, and immigrated to the US with a transfer to the University of Maryland in Baltimore County. She did her Internship in a major hospital in Baltimore and graduated by age twenty-one before moving to New York. Taking a job at New York General she also became a hitwoman for hire withing the criminal element of the city, who also took jobs retrieving items and gathering info on people by following them. Though she has only had eight jobs in the past two years she has completed them all successfully, and is somewhat known for being a reliable and dedicated person to hire who will not leave a job unfinished. She has done no high profile hits now, except take out witnesses and those who have betrayed their respective family or organization. During the civil war and invasion she went quiet anf focused on her cover job, still hiding the fact she is a mutant well through her training and skills to cover up any factor that would give it away. For a time she was known as The Red Queen of The Hellfire Club, when they reopened the red court in the east. They were instrumental ibn helping her sieze her family assets as her own, and getting her revenge on those who would have used her. Her time running it was efficient, however much of her machinations were blocked by The Hand, and she was forced to contend with choppy political waters and feuds with the influential organization. In these times she was tested and by the time the HFC was disbanded due to the legal ramifications of Deadly Genesis, much of her personal assets and a portion of the red courts assets had already gone dark. She had her escape plan and put it into play early anticipating , the reorganization of the missing assets under a new criminal organization. By the time the authorities had reached where the red court had been, it was an empty and burnt out shell of an estate. Most liquid assets were moved or turned into ash, and hidden away from prying eyes. The events of the fall of the HFC turned into a new era for Kitsune, one that she seized and made her own. The only messages that she sent to the rest were short, comprised of exact words. 'Foxfire initiated, Seiryū has bled out.' Though the message never made it to the main branch in time, as her messenger was killed en-route. Though unknown at why the foxfire protocol was initiated, the best indication was that it was the bloody end of the feud with The Hand. The last few years her criminal enterprise; Crimson Sparrow Enterprises has operated amongst the underworld and black markets with legitimate fronts in antiquities, traditionally made replica swords, shipping and transport, as well as other areas to serve as fronts for their illegal activities. While one might expect to see her at the head of the table that seat has remained empty, except at annual meetings and ones of urgent priority. However she has taken refuge by hiding as one of the general membership as an assassin and information broker. The consortium maintains a training regiment for its members, and the skills of a ninja clan combined with a Yakuza family. Their activities range from many things; including smuggling, arms dealing, and other illicit trades. If you can afford their services and need them, they will provide however any who have compromised their real purpose outside of a multifaceted company have disappeared and never been seen again. Alignment: Villain, but appears Neutral RP Sample: The profits had been good lately, with a lot of the money coming in from some of the more militant groups out there. Though some of the runs had been tricky, however her people had pulled through. Those that did not and ended up in jail, they found themselves either bailed out if it was able to be covered up or in the cold if their mistakes were that serious. A few of them she had dispatched herself, all of this she reflected on as she read the quarterly reports. If only her old allies could see her now, standing on her own and standing strong. Today she was actually in the office, wearing her same old kitsune mask and reading reports from various people she smiled from underneath it. Finally pressing a button on an intercom, she saw one troubling report that might indicate a leak in her group. "Send in Thomas, I wish to ask him about his latest endeavor. He was too sloppy, Mariko please be a dear and fetch him." "Yes ma'am, also you have a call about an shipment bound to Latveria. It's been delayed by english naval assets, they had to detonate the cargo." This had her frowning more than smiling, she was upset underneath her mask and she knew that if it was that bad then the client would not have their portable artillery pieces. Making a note to send more via another route overland through russia by train, this client would have to wait longer but she would deliver as they had paid insurance. As a taller man entered the room she motioned to a seat, and dropped the paperwork on the desk in front of him. "You are hiding something from me, this last shipment came too close to being sniffed out. Second time in the last few months, but this proves what I suspected all along. Tell me how long have they been paying you for?" He was speechless as he realized that she had found him out, and after asking that she had a blade in her hand and was getting up. They were high enough up in the building for this to be unnoticed, and she had fed him false information just to trip him up. That last bit involved his latest foul up, which was her trap that had cornered an unreliable rat for them. "Thomas Marko Harmon, FBI. Your going to have to come with me red fox, I have already...." He looked and saw the drive he had put it on and sworn he had shipped out, before she ground it under her heel and licked the now wrecked device at his feet. "Cute, but you do not even know my face or name. You will die not knowing it, and it will look like suicide." She then picked him up as he realized his hands were already bound, and as she cut the zip ties he was kicked through the plate glass window of her office and falling to the ground. Now she was making a call to 911, where she semed concerned and worried about an employee. "Hello, one of my employees just jumped out of the window of my office. I was about to fire him then he lost it, please send somebody. I couldn't stop him, he might have had a family." As the call proceeded she gave the location and then waited as she cleaned up the desk, and hid her old mask.
