狐熊の殺し屋 Family Echo ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ The herd known as "The Kitsunekuma" are contracted killers, otherwise known as assassins or hitmen. Their name literally means fox-bear (----> 狐熊) because they have the paws of bears but the tail and the wit of a fox. (Pronounced: Ki-tsu-ne-ku-ma)
They can be cruel, they can be hospitable, they can be anything you like but it's rare that you would meet them and they would give you their real name and not lie to your face. It's part of of how they protect their identity and their herd. They don't want to be tracked or traced. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛

┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Basic Rules ⅰ Stay with in the soquili guidelines and Gaia's TOS. ⅱ Be nice to each other. ⅲ Have fun. Herd Guidelines ⅰ The Dam ( Inari ) makes the main decisions with The Sire ( Yuuta ), but other members do have input in suggestions and voting. ( Inari's brother's will always have some part of the decision making. ) ⅱ Be respectful to each other ( that goes for respecting the other owners and their characters within the group) ⅲ The Kitsunekuma are generally intelligent killers who usually intend to kill efficiently with little to no traces left behind. Not all characters in the herd may be so bright in the future, so those who are not so bright are not required to stay under cover ( but it doesn't mean they should get caught, if they are on jobs ). ⅳ Tradition is important IC. OOC not so much but they still musn't go blabbing secrets. ⅴ If a soquili in the group wants to go on a personal quest, then it is on them and not the group ( this kill should also not effect the group unless plotted to do so, however there would be consequences for your character ). ⅵ They really do care only about each other ( as of this moment, it can change once they mix with others ) and see each other as very valuable people in their lives. After so many years of training they'd rather not replace you or lose you. ⅶ Stay away from Skinwalkers, only go near them if you have to and if you do go near them, have backup. ⅷ Once you learn the secrets of the group, it's very hard to leave, alive ( they wouldn't want anything getting out ). ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛

ＦＡＱ ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Can I join? Anyone can join as long as you stick around to plot and sometimes RP for group events. All breeds of soquili are fine, except for Skinwalkers because of breed restrictions (they're not group animals and wouldn't stand for being around other people, they would rather slaughter the group than join them). Do I have to custom in to join? Nope! I want this to be open to other soquili, some who may not have found their path yet possibly. Are they evil / bad? Some could call them such because they kill other creatures, but I don't think they feel like they are evil. Where do they live? They don't live in any one place. They are a traveling herd, they move to where they think they are needed / can get business. Are they for hire? Of course! Performance gigs - Dance performances for all occasions~! Ceremonial gigs - Lifematings, funerals, blessings, etc Hits - ( if it's agreed upon with the owner of the soquili who is the target, then yes that's fine.) It's rare that they don't succeed in killing when they intend to kill. If you want your soquili mauled or mangled up though (without the intention of them dying) just find a way to threaten them, piss them off or get in their way on a bad day and job's a good 'un. Can they take days off to wander, go on a small adventure or have their own interests? Of course they can! Where do they live? Where are their territories? They are a traveling herd, they move from place to place and never stay around too long to become well known by the locals. They may end up in your soquili's territory, usually they are minding their own business, usually. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ News 06.01.15 - Herd page was created. 07.02.15 - Contest opened! 05.11.15 - BIG NEWS, this will be a long one.
•Congrats to Yuuta he will be a daddy along with his Lovemate Star Galaxy, the baby will be owned by Star Galaxy’s owner so if you want plots and they’re willing, ask nicely. IC: This might mean that Yuuta has to go away for a while to protect the basket wherever Star Galaxy might be.
•Congrats to Tarou, he will also be a daddy, she won an extra gift baby. This is a result of Lady Blót Snærblod x Tarou. Twilight will now have a nibling or two for Shiro to teach, a person who is both a Snærblod and a Kitsunekuma member. I am thinking that the children will spend months at a time in both cultures and both “home” settings so as to learn the way of both herds, they can choose when they get older which they might like most or just continue on with whatever they choose. I will also be getting a child from this breeding to add to the fun. IC: This might mean that Yuuta has to go away for a while to protect the basket in Hjordhei where Lady Blót Snærblod is, he will return when they are grown…buuuuuttttt…he’s a bit of a deadbeat dad right now so ehhnnnn…I dunno…he probably might if Blót told him via messenger bird but otherwise, he may just stay put.
• The boys are also getting a LONG LOST SISTER from the WS owned by Vistada, I have added Vistada to the chat so please welcome her, she’s really quite awesome!
•There will also might be another future member owned by Vistada called Ruth who might be joining at some point. I will be discussing this soooon. She’ll do wonderful for their negotiations and be part of organising their jobs and bookings with Inari.
• Also, please congratulate Lys and tech on their couples wish in the WS event it’s so happy to see everyone get something nice! biggrin
PLOT DEVELOPMENTS: And there’s been a development as to where “the gardens” will be. Since they are a traveling herd they didn’t want to be sitting ducks when their family got killed but to raise foals and regroup they have taken up a home / “base” with Hunahpu in the jungle. Now this climate is hot for them but I also have plotted that they can drop their big fluffy coat in hotter climates so you’re good to go!
Their home is now in an old mayan temple. It might seem like a strange fit for them but at the same time it works because normal soquili can’t get around all of the temple well, it requires paws or to be really agile if you have hooves for some parts of the temple. Lastly, all temples are sacred to the boys so it works as a place of peace.
Ｂｅｌｉｅｆｓ ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Sprits and Spiritual Essence The original 6 members are firm believers in Animism, they believe that all natural non-soquili entities and inanimate objects have some form of spiritual essence. This includes everything from trees to rocks, bats to birds and everything in between.
They believe that their bodies are just vessels for their spirit and that life does not end when they are killed but they may never again live the life they live right now.
They do not impose their beliefs on others outside of the herd. Death ✿ Dying in action is seen as a burden to the herd, it would mean having to train another member to be in their place (and that's not easy).
✿ Dying from old age is not seen as a burden as such because they should have had enough time to train up a replacement and life will not have been cut short. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛

Ｃｌｏｔｈｉｎｇ ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Clothing and Accessories The Kitsunekuma all have ceremonial "clothing and accessories" as well as day to day wear.
On jobs however, they may not choose to wear their day to day clothes but instead they may wear disguises or not wear anything at all.
(Ceremonial clothing is pictured in "clothed" uncerts. Day to day clothing can be without clothes / accessories or an extra obi of their choice, often not as ornate as the ceremonial clothing.)
Fetlock binding- soquili with long fetlocks will often wrap up their fetlocks so they don't get snagged on anything during missions or chores. The fetlocks are unwrapped when they are relaxing or during ceremonies. Think of it like loose wrapped bandages. The binding never crosses joints of a soquili's legs so it does not hinder their movement. Dressing and Binding Process (For the sake of RP and knowing how it all works.)
Ceremonial Clothing: can take 2 to 3 pawed/ hooved soquili or 1 or 2 clawed soquili to help tie the obi, the fabrics are special so a lot of care must be aken.
Fetlock binding: can take one or two other soquili to help them bind the fetlocks.
Day to day clothing: One other soquili to help them dress or none. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛
Ｂａｓｉｃ ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Please find these in the guild linked below Skills thread
Ｅｘｐｅｃｔａｔｉｏｎ ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ No soquili in the group are made to or expected to have lifemates / lovemates, but may choose to do so if they feel like it. Flings are not looked down upon but to them all life is sacred so it must be something done with careful consideration as there is potential to create a life. Diversity in the group is not seen as a bad thing (in fact it can be quite good) and all children will be celebrated and accepted into the tradition (when possible, if they are skinwalkers, it is very unlikely to be accepted due to their nature, they cannot be group animals). What they are expected to do is stay with the mother of the children during pregnancy to protect her or have someone else protect her until the foals are born. They are expected to try to keep as many of their offspring in the herd as they can handle, if they can (atleast one) but this is not always possible. Notes on Breedings Flings - a foal born of someone in this herd does not automatically make them a herd member. The parent (from the herd) has to want them to be part of the herd. The herd is very tight knit so if a herd member doesn't want them to be there it could cause friction. Talk to the owner of the soquili who is a member of the herd about this prior to breeding if possible (it may not always be possible because of twisted tunnel of love events and fermented fruit drunken mixers so keep that in mind). Even send me a PM if you have any concerns, I will be happy to help. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛

Ｆｒｉｅｎｄｓｈｉｐ ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ It's possible to become friends with members of the herd, but due to their use of false personalities, names and covers, who knows if it would be real or maybe it would all be lies? The herd members are encouraged to interact with other people to learn about different kinds of soquili they may encounter at any time in their lives and they deal with other soquili when they must but are told not to trust people outside of the herd with their secrets or get too close to them or else the offending herd member and the person they are spilling the beans to would both have to endure the consequences. Persistence for some might be key, for others, persistence might push them away. They're complex folk so your soquili might want to not push it too much. If a soquili joins the herd however, they have time to gain the trust of the rest of the herd and in time will have them loosen up a little and warm up to them. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛

Ｒｏｍａｎｃｅ ａｎｄ Ｆａｍｉｌｙ ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Sexuality and Preference None of the herd care whether your character is heterosexual, homosexual, bi-sexual, pansexual, poly-sexual (,etc), monogamous or polyamorous, it doesn't really matter to them because it shouldn't have an effect on the job you're doing. Pregnancy They group doesn't tend to wait around and they move where they are needed. Arrangements can be made however for the group to split off and meet back up with the family once the foals have come out of their baskets and ready to move. (The reason for this is that it is difficult for soquili to transport more than one basket at a time, especially over long distance and they are seen as a weakness because they can be stolen by those hoping to take their revenge.) Basket Snatching If a soquilli in the group wants to snatch a basket away, then they can but it is their own responsibility to move and carry. (This is a good plot point for getting your basket into the group if you would like that.) Prohibitions Members of the group are not allowed to have real relationships with the targets unless used it is used as a temporary lure. The herd tend to like to be more efficient. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛
Ｂａｓｉｃ Ｉｎｆｏ ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ ✿ Roles are usually taken on by the adults, the foals won't have roles other than learning and having fun. ✿ Roles are not something you are born into however, you have the choice to try out for different roles. ✿ It's generally accepted by the group that a soquili can identify themselves as whatever gender they feel they are. ✿ This can be male, female, neither, and so on. ✿ Click this link in order to see who is part of what role.

Ｐｒｅ Ｅｘｉｓｔｉｎｇ ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ -The kitsunekuma are not exclusive to pawed soquili only, they will take on other breeds and non-mutants as each breed has its uses and traits. -Training will be altered according to your soquili's breed type. Baskets The herd will always sought to make their herd stronger through basket snatching. They have no problem with this at all. They think of it as putting the child on a better path in life. They rarely abandon baskets they have snatched, once they've taken a basket in, they are part of the herd and every member has some responsibility in helping the foal once they come out, whether that's feeding them, laying with them, keeping them company or teaching them to dance. Foals Sometimes the herd will take in lost foals, but often they are still very wary of foals because they know that they could potentially tell other soquili about their secrets or true way of life. Often they attempt to find the foals parents before thinking of keeping them in the herd. It's always a possibility that the foal was never lost in the first place but they'll treat them like they are. Adults Adults have it tough. If they want to join they have to be very persistent and show their dedication through being helpful and doing chores. They don't often learn any of the herds secrets in their first year of being with them but over time they are given chances to learn. Often the herd will provide for the soquili, they will bring them food, keep them company and eventually teach them new skills, the soquili in question just has to be very determined, persistent, monodist and open to new ideas. They are taught to stand before they are taught to walk, dance, fall or even kill. It's a long journey but very rewarding to be considered a fox. Often adult soquili will have to shadow others and become an apprentice in a specialty which interests them, if they can convince a member to take them on the already existing member will always be known to them as their older brother / older sister (even if they are the same age or younger) until they are initiated as a fox. Then they just simply become their brother / sister. Kitsune (foxes) is the term for someone who has joined the herd and has learned their way of life, often they are still learning new things about soquili and life, as are the rest of the herd every day. Kitsune will be provided with their own special ceremonial clothes and performance clothes, often they will perform along side other members as if they were in the herd their whole life and are then treated as such.
