Basic Information
Name: Fox Owen Xavier
Age: 22
Race: Kitsune
Hair Color: Fox Red (As he puts it)
Eye Color: Light brown
Height: 5'4
Weight: 120 pounds
Occupation: Potion Crafter

Personality
Fox is a rather independent person due to his upbringing. He is unusually devoted to studying and learning for his kind. He's friendly too and loves to help out others which is partly why he went into the business of selling potions. Fox also tends to go with the flow and just agree with others. He is normally very calm and is a very careful person. The only thing that really tends to upset him is people hunting foxes which he regards as cousins.

Appearance
Fox normally appears as a human with the only difference being the two furry fox ears poking out from the top of his head. Sometimes when he gets exemely excited, his red tail will pop out too but he has learned to control it for the most part. As a human, his build is fairly slender with a well toned body. His skin is light tan and seems to be pretty much flawless from scars. His face is lean with a sharp nose. Overall, people might find him handsome but there is a slightly unhuman feel to him even if he puts his fox ears in.
As a fox, he appears as a common red fox.

History
Aside from picking out a bad name (calling a fox a fox and having his initials be fox to rub it in?), his parents raised him up to be independent early in his childhood and then left to go on some adventurer or something. Fox never really blamed them having a bit of an adventurous spirit himself. However, he was always interested in helping out people and thus got involved with the local witch. From the witch, he learned basic healing and a lot of knowledge about potions. Eventually, Fox decided to explore the world to satisfy his curiosity and use his knowledge to help others (and make some money). Additionally, he would like to develop his potion skills further to become a master potion maker and also learn more about runes and rituals.

Skills

Healing (Basic) – Knows how to treat people for injuries and what herbs to apply to help them recover sooner.
Potions (Immediate) – Fox knows how to craft many common potions such as the infamous love potion, death potions, basic healing potions, and even some slightly more advance like ones that will change appearance slightly for a very short time. However, more advance potions require uncommon ingredients that might not be easily found.
Herbs (Immediate) – As part of potions, Fox knows many herbs and their effects especially if used in a potion. The death potions he makes are generally no more than a poison or two.
Rune Knowledge (Basic) – Fox is still trying to learn more about runes and can only identify the most basic of runes. He does know one that makes the rune give off a faint light (even less than a candle) which is basically useless. Fox uses it for practice in his spare time.
Ritual Knowledge (Basic) – Like his knowledge of runes, Fox is rather lacking and just knows the basics. He can read simple circles and guess at more advance circles but that's about it.
Reading – As part of his studies, Fox had to read many books about potions and other subjects.
Fox Talk – Being a kitsune, Fox is related closely to foxes and can communicate with them. He regards foxes as cousins and tries to help them stay out of danger of humans by warning them.
Stealth (Basic) - As a fox, Fox has learned to sneak around quietly if he chooses although his skills are no where near a veteran thief.
Thief Skills (Basic) - Sometimes instinct takes over and shiny objects somehow slip into Fox's bag. Also, he knows how to pick basic locks although he needs a lot of time since he does not have the training of a real thief.


Abilities

Transform – As a kitsune, Fox can shift shape from a human to a fox or a few forms in between. Normally, he stays in a human-like form with the only thing setting him apart is the two fox ears popping out from his head. When excited, he tends to become more fox-like with a tail being the next thing to pop out.
Fox Sense – As a fox, Fox has a very good senses which helps him make sure the potions are made correctly.
Fox Fire – Creates a small fire in the palm of his hand. It can get hot enough to boil water and could inflict painful burns but Fox would rather run than fight if he had the choice. However, the use is normally to get a fire started for the potion pot. He could also use it alone to boil the potions but that would tire him out.



Equipment

Portable pot – Just a small iron bowl useful for mixing potions
Herbs – A collection of common herbs used to make potions.
Oak Stick – Just a small mixing stick for his potions
Few common potions to sell – Generally cares around a few love potions and healing potions since those are the two most popular
Small Empty Glass tubes to store potions in
Intermediate Potion Book – Has recipes for some more advance potions that Fox doesn't know off the top of his head. Generally, he only makes these if the requester can provide the ingredients.
Basic Rune Book – Mainly talks about how to identify common runes although the back does include a few extremely basic runes. The runes themselves are basically useless so Fox doesn't sell or advertise them and just uses them for practicing to become better.
Basic Summoning Rituals Book – Similar to his Rune book, the Ritual book mainly goes over the basic summoning rituals and what is needed and what to be careful of. Fox hasn't dared to try any summonings because the materials are expensive and a mistake could be deadly even in a basic ritual.


Note: This character is not really intended for battling, more for crafting and interacting with people. Basically no combat skills.

Howdy.

Does Transform give Fox any additional abilities such as speed or agility? Or is he just pretty much the same but in a fox body?

Am I allowed to have a slight increase to speed/agility in fox form at the expensive of strength and toughness? If not, I'm fine with no increase in stats. I just was thinking it would make sense for Fox to be quicker as a fox (Have you ever seen a fox run?)

Unfortunately adding speed or agility with the transformation would push you over a first level character. Your character would still be moving as fast as human (and be much smaller).

Otherwise you are approved.
