★ In-Character ★

Physical Touch. The Fox King loathes humans and all creatures that resemble them, and will perceive all unexpected physical touch as a potential attack, to which he will respond with teeth and claws. Absolutely do not try to touch him unless you are prepared to be scratched or bitten. (OOC note - this can be rolled back to harsh words instead if you would prefer your character not get injured from trying to touch him).

Flirting. The King has no time for romance, and flirting from anyone on the current cast list would make him feel physically ill. Feel free to annoy him with it, though!

Relationships. Eventually. Currently he is in no state to even come close to considering romance in any way, shape, or form, but if he is going to get better he will need some stronger bonds. If you want to plot eventual romance (rest assured that he will eventually have the opportunity to take a humanoid form!), it will need to be plotted slow-burn only UNLESS your character is another forest creature.

Smut. I do write smut sometimes, but here at Folkmore I would prefer not to!

Killing. Please do! I expect him to pick a lot of fights he can't win and die multiple times over the course of his run here. You don't even need to check in with me beforehand, even if it's a surprise assassination.

Psychic Info. The Fox King's mind is severely addled by a traumatic life full of fear and paranoia. Any mind-reader and/or empath will be able to see with ease the depths of both his suffering and his rage. He has no special abilities of his own, and is no more perceptive than the average human. You may even have your character catch pieces of (or the entirety of) the Owl's prophecy and/or the Timber Man's appraisal.

Magic Info. The Fox King is a magical forest creature on par with characters from Wonderland and similar realms - not capable of casting spells or anything of the sort, but a creature that exists under the rules of a more magical reality than our own. He can speak with humans and animals alike and the antlers atop his head have been attached to his skull by magical means. His Role as a Myth can be sensed as well as a fiery aura or magical heat. The amulet he wears around his neck is a potent magical artifact, as it is both the original fire given the Mankind and the key to the gates of Hell; it is a very sinister object with the power to summon the souls of the dead back to flesh, among many other mysterious effects, though the King only knows it can be used to open the gates of Hell.

Medical Info. Despite the fact that, as mentioned above, the Great Fox King is an animal from a magical reality, he was originally biologically identical to a normal red fox, save for a few adaptations that allow him to stand upright and use his front paws like hands, as well as to facilitate human speech with a fox's mouth. His brain is much more developed than a real-world fox brain. His body bears the signs of aging, mainly silvering/graying hairs on his snout and paws, arthritic joints, and an overall more gaunt-looking frame. A thorough examination will likely reveal signs of past starvation and smoke inhalation.

Offensive Subjects and Triggers. The only major trigger the Fox King has is shotguns - specifically having one pointed directly at him, as that is how he died in his original world. He also has a severe distrust of humans and of deer to a lesser extent. He extremely touch-averse and prone to paranoia about others' doomsaying.
