Homebrew Kitsune Species Details

>Backstory

Nobody really knows where kitsune came from they spread out preferring warmer areas around the world. Kitsune are mostly good mannered folk but they are also mischievous at times and a have started to be seen as theives or other such things.

Some shop keepers won't allow kitsune to purchase anything that could be used to cause misery on other, It includes many things from Lockpicks, Rougish supplies Dagger some magic items and sometimes gunpowder, However more shop keepers just preffer to mark prices up on the said items. Other beast races don't discriminate like this against the Kitsune and instead allow them the purchase these products without mark-ups or being kicked out. 

Orc and Kitsune have a few issues when it comes to territory, the kitsune naturally like to wander and explore and are always getting in Orc territories, Kitsune are able to purswade other to let them stay but Orc just won't allow kitsune anywhere near them. This problem goes away in multi-cultural comunities.

Most conflicts about Kitsune are about letting them into cities in the first place, Human and Elves don't much like the thought of a species that is known for mischief around. But when with other Kitsune are allowed in these communities, but they aren't treated aswell as others in there parties.
