Alignment: Lawful Good, Maks believes in the role that law plays in the protection of not only people and their individuality, but the world itself; without laws, what could become beauty can be taken to extremes at the detriment of others. That said, Maks values good over law, and will work tirelessly to ensure that the law of the land supports the people, and not merely the other way around. Hero Points: 3 Race: Kitsune

Maks has a different face for every occassion, but has preferred faces to show to the world. In her natural form, Maks is a seven-tailed bipedal fox with golden fur that coats her entire body. She wears thin, revealing clothing that accentuates her features no matter her form, typically allowing her to also move unhindered in the process. She moves with a dancer's grace, and often wears multiple scarves and sashes that trail behind her as she does so. She seems to be of average size amongst the other 'monsters', but being incredibly light weight, given her abilities. Ever since she dedicated herself to Shelyn's code of conduct, she has also carried a spear, one reminiscent of her people, but different. The spear's head is made to look as if a sheen of oil on water, dancing in various colors as Maks moves, and the design of the spear is such that the holes that have been placed into the wide, flat head sing a song as she moves. Whether in her human form, that of a short woman with untamed golden hair, or her native form, Maks is somewhere between an athletic body and a dancer's body. While curvy, she is far from voluptuous, though the forms she is able to take will certainly run the gamut (there is, after all, no 'one true' standard for beauty). She is also always accompanied by the scent of honeysuckle, and is quite partial with decorating her body with freshly-picked flowers. In either form, her voice is soft and melodic, easily finding the right pitch, though her fox form's voice has a lilting quality not found in her human form. Maks's aforementioned gift from Goodwin is a Totem Spear that has been designed to play more rich and vibrant melodies, rather than dirges. The spearhead carries a rainbow hue, no matter the light, while the willow shaft is coated in paints from every pigment Maks has been able to come across. Where the haft meets the head, seven feathers of perfect hue adorn the weapon, splaying out like a small rainbow. The butt on the weapon trails short ribbons of the same colors, which seem to share in Maks's dance whenever the weapon comes into play. -----------------------------------------
Maks, born Shining Fox, lived within a tribe long before Goodwin arrived. And had it not been for Goodwin, Maks would have lived a wonderful life on the shoulders of her fellow men... for Maks was born with not one, but three tails. And born as a fox, to boot. Before Maks was ever conceived, her tribe existed; and like many tribes, they worshipped spirits. No spirit was venerated more than the fox, for it was cunning, agile, and courageous. It was able to live anywhere, and consume anything that it wished. Her people were a tribe of survivors. At least until Maks came along. Maks was born to a younger tribal girl who had been swooned by a handsome tradesman, who happened to be a kitsune in disguise, and against all odds, Maks was born. The birth was... terrible at best, but when she was finally born, the tribe was torn asunder: Was Maks a gift from the spirits, sent to guide them to a bright future... or was she some sort of demon, come to plague them..? As Maks grew, the schism only widened. None could bring themselves to harm the girl, but all had their own brand of fear or adoration for the girl, and it was usually mixed. She was as strong and fast and cunning as any in the village, and learned quickly. Unfortunately, she also learned of her position amongst the tribe: She finally came to understand just how special she was. In a perfect world, we could say that Maks used her latent gifts to make life better for her tribe, but instead, she used them to make life better for herself. She fell upon using her magic more and more to keep the tribe in line... when finally Goodwin arrived on the cusp of civil war. He broke the enchantments that the young kitsune had placed upon everyone, and took the young girl into his realm. Maks has specifically chosen to train to become a paladin in order to serve as a constant reminder that her own complete freedom relies on stealing freedom from others; she seeks to temper her more basal desires in so doing. She is a bard because it is the one thing that comes naturally to her; art, beauty, and grace flow freely from her. Finally, she is a summoner because the totemic spirits that clinged to her, and the outsider's influence of her father resulted in a tie to the outer spheres that has been literally undeniable for her. -----------------------------------------
Maks is conflicted when it comes to goals. During her studies, she learned of a distant land where one could take a simple test to become a god. She understands that this cannot be a simple test on anything but the surface, and yet feels drawn for some unknowable reason towards reaching this goal. On a lesser, more attainable note, Maks seeks to bring more beauty into the world, and show people their own beauty and how best to achieve their own goals in life. She wishes to offer a hand to others who had been in situations like her own, and show them the way back into the light. -----------------------------------------
When Maks first arrived, she was in the simplest terms a lazy brat. She didn't understand the concept of work. She was entirely undiplomatic and rude, having lived off of solving her arguments with her latent magic. It took a lot of patience and care to get Maks to where she is today. Through strict Training Regimens, Maks has become an example that even a monster by choice can become a good person once more. She has become friendly and accepting, though perhaps because of who she was, believes very strongly in discipline. She loves art and crafts, and is always excited to see new things. With Goodwin gone... she may try to take up a more matronly role with the others. -----------------------------------------
Offense
Agathion & Quadruped Evolutions: Limbs [legs, 2], Bite.
Miyu Michi is a newly-'born' Agathion who will come at Maks's call. The two will share a fiery rune upon their foreheads while he is in her service. Miyu Michi will seek to guide Maks and her companions upon the straight and narrow path of righteousness, seeking to free them from their earthly desires, even as he aids them in their quest. He is a wolf-sized fox with snow-white fur, and he moves with the gentle grace of a well-trained show-dog (though it is likely best you don't mention that). Sora
Special Abilites: Recurring Dream
Miyu Michi is not Maks's only companion. She is also accompanied by Sora, a Thrush, whose colors seem to change on a daily basis, occassionally doing so as Maks's mood shifts. The tiny bird, like Maks's spear, has seven long feathers, that are always of a perfect hue. It is also quite a capable singer in its own right. -----------------------------------------

Discipline: Solar Wind (Stance)
Level: 1 Initiation Action: 1 swift action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: Stance Using the principles of shadow and light, the Solar Wind disciple is capable of making phantom copies of his ammunition for use in combat. While in this stance, the initiator may make semi-real copies of arrows, bolts, bullets, or throwing weapons by willing them into existing as a free action while possessing at least one of the above on his person. Weapons that need reloading, such as crossbows and firearms, are fully reloaded as a move action (and if the character possesses the Rapid Reload feat, he may reload as a swift action). Magical properties, alchemical properties, or special materials of the ammunition are not copied, only the base properties of the ammunition (as if they were made of mundane steel with no special abilities or properties). Once the ammunition has been used, it disappears immediately after the attack. If the bow, firearm, sling, or cross bow making the attack has magical properties these are bestowed upon the ammunition. Thrown weapons copied by this stance are duplicates of the original, but do not manifest the material portion of the weapon, only it’s magical enhancements.
