Homebrew Foxblooded Species Details

Whatsoever you have heard of foxes, whatever you wish to believe, remember at least this: We are the brushes of the world. We are the paint and the canvas.

We are the artists; we are the art.

— Unknown Foxblooded

 

The Foxblooded tell a much different story of their Origins than the one in the history and religion books. They say one of the Archai wanted a completely unique creature and began to draw one with ink and brush. The Archai drew long ears like the rabbits, litheness like the cat, and bright colors like the birds. Instead of the ink changing on the paper, the brush itself was said to have changed, the only thing recognizable from it being the bristles, which became the Fox’s tail. Foxblooded take this story to heart, living as artisans in all they do. No
matter what skills a Foxblooded pursues, they hone themselves to perfection. This is an attitude well-regarded within Clave, where being Foxblooded automatically elevates one’s
status.
