Early Childhood: Hitoru does not remember much from his early years. He remembers mother's voice (oh those great stories she told) and maybe even her face, but that is about it. He knows they were a poor family but has no idea what region they lived in. The earliest real experience he remembers quite well is a sea voyage. And the night he almost drawn to death in a storm. An old and experienced sailor saved him and kind of took him under protection. After arrival to the port he found him a place to stay. Since this event Hitoru does not like water, especially large bodies of water, though he tries to mask it (quite successfully). He never learned to swim. Childhood: The person the old sailor delivered him to was, not surprisingly, an old whore (at least she seemed old to young Hitoru, she might have been just tired from her work). She was kind of nice but did not have much time for the small fox man. So Hitoru spent most of the time in the streets. But children being children he was never fully accepted for his strange appearance and was the target of a lot of abuse. And adults were not any better. He had only two things going for him. He was able to recognize danger early and avoid it if possible and he learned to bluff his way through many an obstacle. He also started ro use his human form exclusively while away from the small room that was his home at the time. Adolescence: The defining moment of his life came as he was growing older. He met the Stranger. Wearing a gray cloak and hood, this person stayed mysterious the whole month they were together and to this day Hitoru does not know who he really was. But no matter, the important thing is the Stranger taught Hitoru all the groundwork he needed to become a successful grifter and survive on the streets. It was especially important as his aunt (as he came to call her) died soon after. Adulthood: Gradually Hitoru became one of the best con artists in the region (well, he likes to think so...). He learned how to maximize the ability to disguise himself with the help of his heritage and some magic and mundane items in order to play more roles in his cons. These became ever more and more elaborate. He also practiced his social skills daily in the field with such small endeavors as getting food and lodging for bargain prices or even free. He never really liked combat and tried to avoid it as much as possible. If cornered (and this happened less and less as his knowledge of the night streets combined with stealth skills improved), he usually preferred to stay on the defensive and get the heck out as fast as possible. The only time he stays to fight is if someone he deems needs protecting (for whatever reason) is endangered. In order to appear to be a skilled combatant he learned to use small weapons with great agility. He accumulated a lot of various equipment to be ready for any situation (if only to play a desired role well and not actually use them for their intended purpose). He made a few friends but had hard time trusting them to much as in his experience you never know how steadfast they are when the situation gets dire. Nevertheless he has always given them the benefit of the doubt and has stayed loyal (but prepared) longer than they did. Recent history: He came up with a con of a lifetime. The only problem was his mark happened to be the one of the few people better then himself. It all went south and he became the conned one. The high-ups were impressed (or more like amused) by Hitoru's oratory skill and witty bluffing and “offered” to forget the crime for a participation in the upcoming mission (even mentioned something like "expendable assets", but hopefully it was just a joke). Personality:
good natured, mischievous, fun loving, prankster, loyal, optimist, sometimes overconfident
Hitoru is a con artist who likes to talk his way through any opposition. In his cons he was always careful not to hurt the common folk, but he is no Robin Hood. The main reason he is doing his "job" is that he just loves the challenge and so the gained wealth is only secondary bonus. He might part with the treasures he accumulates and distribute it or give away but it is certainly nothing systematic and he knows that the people might help him back if needed. He likes to be prepared for any occasion, so he carries plenty of equipment in his haversack. Appearance:
Kitsune Form: red hair(s), green eyes, sharp teeth, athletic build, weight: 160 lb, height: 5ft 7in
Default Human Form: best left forgotten... for the moment Current Human Form: blond hair, blue eyes, average build Wearing: light brown traveler’s outfit, brown wide brimmed hat, brown cloak Abilities Description Shapechanging/Disguising:
Basically Hitoru may assume the form of any human he has previously seen (as a move action) and change the appearance of his clothing as well.
Change Shape (Su)(racial): A kitsune can assume the appearance of a single human form of the same sex—this form is static, and cannot be changed each time the kitsune assumes this form. A kitsune in human form cannot make its bite attack, but gains a +10 racial bonus on Disguise checks made to appear human. Changing from human to kitsune shape is a standard action. This ability otherwise functions as alter self, save that the kitsune does not adjust its ability scores.
Social Skills:
More like antisocial…
Basically Hitoru is able to convince a stranger they know each other well, make him prone to trust Hitoru more for next day and make him repeat the story convincingly for another 6 days. Caution! It does not work on everyone… Kitsune's Guile (Ex) (class/archetype): At 1st level, a trickster relies on her intellect as much as her personality. She adds her Intelligence modifier on Bluff, Diplomacy, Disguise, and Sense Motive checks.
And if all else fails…
Other:
Boots of the Cat (magici tem): These high-soled blue boots provide a great deal of comfort and arch support while also making the wearer appear a little bit taller than normal. The boot's wearer always takes the minimum possible damage from falls and at the end of a fall always lands on his feet. [CL: 1st] [Feet]
Handy Haversack (magici tem): A backpack of this sort appears to be well made, well used, and quite ordinary. It has two side pouches, each of which appears large enough to hold about a quart of material. In fact, each is like a bag of holding and can actually hold material of as much as 2 cubic feet in volume or 20 pounds in weight. The large central portion of the pack can contain up to 8 cubic feet or 80 pounds of material. Even when so filled, the backpack always weighs only 5 pounds. While such storage is useful enough, the pack has an even greater power. When the wearer reaches into it for a specific item, that item is always on top. Thus, no digging around and fumbling is ever necessary to find what a haversack contains. Retrieving any specific item from a haversack is a move action, but it does not provoke the attacks of opportunity that retrieving a stored item usually does. Equipment Kits:
