Shiro Kitsune

"Mother gave me this mask. She told me to put it on whenever I got lonely so that I will never forget who I am or where I come from."

- Shiro

Shiro Kitsune (白狐, White Fox) is a young man born from the union between a fox demon and a human lord, raised solely by his mother and inheriting her Burning Curse, he has always been interested in his human side. Having lived the greater majority of his short life among other demons, the prospect of learning more about humans intrigued him more than anything. This is why, despite his mother's disapproval, he decided to leave his home and live amongst the humans in hopes of gaining a better understanding of the world his father came from. With great curiosity and enthusiasm, he sat off on his journey, eventually coming to Koma Inu where he now resides as a mage under the wing of its guild master, Samarra Inari.

Appearance
Shiro is a handsome young man standing at exactly five foot eight inches tall. His hair his ivory in color, short and shaggy on top of his head. It is naturally straight with a slight sheen to it with bangs that hang down into his face. His head is heart shaped and his features are often described as baby-faced, a natural look of innocence that some might call charming or cute to some degree. His cheeks still contain some baby fat, making them soft and arguably pinchable. His eyes are almond shaped, iris' being gold in color often containing an obvious look of curiosity and wonder until they fall upon another person, at which point they are known to display a warm and gentle kindness that can only come from someone with no true experience of the world, adding to his child-like nature that some find endearing and that others find insufferable both out of pure bitterness or out of genuine concern for his wellbeing. The nose that sits comfortably between his eyes in the middle of his face is small and hardly noticeable, being slightly upturned and can often be seen twitching as he uses his enhanced sense of smell to help him keep tabs on his environment. His lips are pale and thin, often pulled upwards into an inviting closed mouth smile. Behind his lips set two rows of white teeth, all appearing quite normal aside from his larger canine teeth, a trait he inherited from his mother and something he is quite proud of, the teeth being one of only a few parts of his demonic side that he can show without getting weird or concerned looks from others. His ears appear to be that of a human, often twitching similar to how his nose does as his enhanced hearing allows him to hear other conversations fairly easily, his curiosity overriding his better judgment which often leads to scoldings about eavesdropping on others conversations.

Shiro possesses a mesomorphic body type with well-rounded proportions and a relatively lean body. His skin is a bit paler than most, being very smooth and devoid of any scars or blemishes that might detract from what some might even describe as a somewhat feminine beauty that is only lost when one notices his muscular frame, having well developed muscles throughout the entirety of his body from head to toe. His abdomen containing a thin layer of fat that covers up what would be a set of fully developed abs is something he cares little of, preferring the warmth it provides over the approving looks that having a six pack gave him at one point. His arms appear rather thin, but most this once again matters little to him as his true strength lies in his demonic powers and abilities, gifting him strength and speed above that of the average human without the need for an incredibly muscular body, the only purpose for such a trait being to attract a mate, a task he feels he is not quite ready for as his understanding of humans is still incomplete and thus so is his knowledge of himself. In terms of clothing, Shiro prefers to keep to a somewhat casual look with a tee shirt underneath a white button up which often remains unbuttoned, a pair of either green or blue cargo pants and a pair of sandals, not personally liking tennis shoes if all he is going to do is walk around. However, if entering a prearranged fight, he will often switch into them to protect his feet. Otherwise, he will walk around in his sandals and sometimes no shoes at all, especially if they are in the woods or near the beach where he enjoys the feelings of the dirt and sand between his toes. He doesn't care much for what others think of his appearance so long as he feels comfortable in what he is wearing. While it is impossible for him to take on a full demonic transformation without the usage of his mask thanks to his half-human blood, he can undergo a partial transformation that allows him to keep a humanoid form while taking on aspects of his demonic parent, growing fox ears and several long tails. While he can enter this form at any time, it often activates when using his curse or when he feels strong negative feelings.

Personality
The first word that would normally pop into someone's head upon first meeting Shiro would most likely be the word "odd". It has become a bit of a trademark for Shiro so to speak, he is an odd man to be sure. His actions normally mirroring those of someone who has spent their entire life with a blindfold over their eyes only to have it uncovered for them one day. His curious nature often leads him into places he shouldn't be in and it isn't rare for him to get scolded for his misadventures. He speaks like someone who is seeing the world for the first time and is excited at the prospect of exploring it and this is because to him that is exactly what has happened, living his entire life among other demons at a shrine deep in the mountains of northern Fiore where he had little contact with humans and thus never having a chance to learn anything about his human side until he reached an age in which he was old enough to leave his home and explore the world. It is for this reason that Shiro looks at everything as if he is looking at if for the first time, because chances are that he is. His child-like innocence is often seen as endearing, his young appearance helping to make this all the more convincing to those around him. Even so, his ignorance about the human world does not mean he is ignorant about all things, having a fair knowledge of history and vast knowledge of demons and their culture. This normally adds to the oddity of the man named Shiro, speaking so freely of the monsters that many fear or simply believe to be fairy tales as if they are something as common as walking past someone on a busy street. Regardless of how strange others find him, this is often overshadowed and overlooked due to the great kindness he shows to all he meets, his gentle and innocent nature being the most prominent of all his traits and are often the ones they remember most about him. Despite his cheerful and fun appearance, deep inside of Shiro a storm brews as he seeks to understand himself and what exactly he is. Growing up knowing nothing of his father or the human side of his existence has pained him greatly and is something he resents his mother for hiding from him for so long. He sits between the two worlds of human and demon with no idea if he belongs in one or the other or if he belongs in neither. Living as the union between two creatures that fear and hate one another is difficult and weighs heavily on his mind, even more so now that he has had the chance to experience the world from both sides. Feeling truly divided in two and conflicted about who and what it is that he wishes to be. Knowing that choosing one means rejecting the other makes it all the more difficult as he walks the tightrope that balances him between the two worlds which he wants to lose neither of. Regardless of his confliction he is proud of both sides of himself, feeling pride in his demonic abilities and in the human friends he has made since starting his journey of self discovery.

Magical Abilities
Magical Prowess: Demonic Transformation:
 * Magical Aura (魔力の霊気, Maryoku no Reiki): A magical aura is the exertion of magical energy around the user's body. Encapsulating the user in an aura of a color befitting their personality. Colors and potency of Magical auras are various. This aura is normally accompanied by a pressure of sorts, the strength of this pressure depends on the level of magical aura the user wields. Depending on the level of one's magical aura as well as their control over it, it may also be used as an intimidation tactic or even as a way to negate weak attacks. Magical aura come in three different forms, a standard aura which is exhibited by those of weak or average magical power. These auras are often weak, only being able to intimidate none mages. The second of these auras is an S-class aura which is exhibited by those whose level of magical power is equal to or greater than that of an S-class mage. This aura emits and overwhelming pressure that most anyone might find intimidating. The final and most powerful form of aura is the monster aura which is only exhibited by those whose level of magical power is equal to or exceeds that of a guild master or wizard saint. These auras encompass a large area around the user, releasing an incredible amount of pressure. This pressure may even completely immobilize some opponents. The user is replaced by a phantom-like apparition as they are completely enveloped in their respective color. Shiro has an S-class aura, an aura utilized by S-class mages and those above them in terms of magic power. Shiro's aura is white in color.
 * Second Origin (二原, Nigen): The second origin, due to the nature of the magic origin, is wrongly named as it is simply the full extent of a mages power. Therefore, the activation of the second origin is simply the unlocking of the mages total possible magical reserves. There are a few different ways in which a person can go about unlocking their second origin. The first of which is through a sudden surge of willpower during a moment or time of immense stress. The body's natural instinct to survive causing a sudden increase in magic power and forcing the second origin open. The second way in which one might be able to unlock their second origin is through the usage of Arc of Time, aging the origin until it has unlocked. This suggests that if left alone, the second origin will eventually open on its own. Regardless of how it is opened, there are several passive effects that immediately take place upon its unlocking. In the case of Slayers, their physical prowess and magical potency will dramatically increase. In the case of standard mages, an immeasurable burst in magical power will occur, allowing them access to magic and items that have the ability to rewrite the laws of magic. However, it should be noted that such statements are still up for debate. If one wished to activate their second origin without suffering the passive effects for whatever reason, they need first place a seal on a portion of their magic origin. Due to the fact that magical energy is so intertwined with one's own emotions and willpower, this must be done via a method know as the pact. The pact is made once the user has reached the full potential of their magic origin, something that is known to take a considerable amount of time of emotional distress. The pact seals away a portion of the mages magical power behind several magical seals that can only be unlocked once the pact has been fulfilled. In past cases, this has happened when a mage feels their life or the lives of those they care about are being threatened. This sudden burst of magical energy, while extremely useful, leaves the mage utterly drained immediately after its use. Once the pact has been met and the seal having been broken, it can never be recreated again. The full potential of the origin now being accessible to the mage at any time, increasing their magical reserves and base stats by a considerable amount.

Curses & Spells
Not to be confused with magic, a skill known by and utilized by a select few humans skilled enough to harness the power of ethernano to create and perform an array of incredible and sometimes beautiful works. Curses cannot be used by humans, their usage being limited to that of demons and often being described as being far more powerful than magic, such being shown several times during which Mard Geer and the Demons of Tartaros devastated the magic wielding mages of Fairy tail. Once again, unlike its counterpart, magic, Curses are not learned but instead each and every demon is born with their own powerful and often unique curse that is theirs and often theirs alone aside from cases in which offspring inherit the curses of one or both of their parents. As the biology of demons is different from that of humans, in chemical processes and sometimes even physical appearance, their magic origin is far different from that of a human or many of the other races found on Earth Land, often being referred to a corrupted origin due to the fact that it takes in and refines Magic Barrier particles rather than the ethernano used to produce magic.

This particular curse transforms the magic barrier particles to take the form of a powerful and deadly blue flame that can burn at temperatures hot enough to reduce the human body to ashes within only a few seconds, an ability almost impossible to find occuring in that of natural fires created without the use of ethernano or magic barrier particles. Even amoung high ranking fire magic users, normally only wielding a single highly advanced spell capable of producing such heat at the cost of a high sum of magical power but such a feat easily being achieveable through the proper utilization of this curse. As stated before, users lack the ability to manipulate natural or ethernano based flames as their flames contain a high concentration of magic barrier particles, while once believed to be a shortcoming and flaw of the curse, the fact that the high concentration makes it all but impossible for fire based slayers to devour these flames aside from Devil slayers is a pro that many are willing to say outweighs the cons presented with the inability to manipulate natural flames. As the curse was passed down from his Kitsune mother, activating and using this curse often results in the appearance of demonic features on Shiro's body such as his eyes narrowing to appear more similar to that of a fox or the most noticeable change being the nine flaming fox tails that extend from his lower back, flowing freely and radiating a blue light and crackling noise from the flames that come in contact with anything around him.

Much like Fire-make magic, users of Burning curse possess the ability to mold their flame, blessing them with different attributes such as giving them a solid and blunt quality that allows them to bludgeon opponets or a cutting quality when molding the fire into bladed weapons such as swords. Dynamic creations are also possible, creating moving objects such as flaming wolves or clones of one self that may explode on contact with the target. Dynamic creations a bit trickier than their static counterparts, users having to give the mobile creation an order during the molding process. This order will the creation's sole purpose for existing that it will stop at nothing to achieve as it is their entire reason for existing. Commands and tasks can be complicated or very simple, so long as you can picture what it is you wish to do in your head the creation will understand and follow the order to the best of its ability. Like fire magic users, the training associated with the usage of this curse leads to a slight change in the user's body which results in them becoming resistant to burning both by their own flames and the flames of others.
