Kit (Species)

Kit, kitsune, or fuchsfauen are disparate groups throughout the galaxy, although largely concentrated within Toki. The groups themselves affix themselves to regions and peoples for internal reasons. Physiologically, a kit appears human with fox ears, single tail or a number of tails and accentuated ‘canine’ teeth. The size (or number) of a Kit's tail apparently correlates to age and power, but ‘dilute lineages’ cannot achieve the fluffiest or largest number of tails. A kit may switch between presenting a number of tails or one single large one apparently at will, but the vast majority prefer to present a single tail, the fluff and size of which projects that kit's power. Deliberately presenting a larger tail to humiliate a lesser kit is commonly referred to as 'fluff-mogging' and is seen as one of the rudest actions within kit society.

All kits are female, and therefore must select humans for breeding, and thusly they are highly concerned and competitive with their mates. Generally they believe that their power relies on the purity of their line and will only select husbands from a small section of a population. They do enjoy considerably longer lifespans (170-285 years) than humans, as do their mates.
