Khaylus

Khaylus, the magical patron of Kumiko, is the muraji (spiritual leader) of his clan and those bound to him through his patronage. He has been known to reach out to other clans or families in other realms, planes, and other times, gifting them a fragment of his essence and bonding himself to them. Khaylus does not undertake this lightly, and when he grants this gift - this power - it comes with the understanding that the recipient of the gift carries on in the tradition of his people. Khaylus has been a patron to numerous generations of families, committing himself to aid them so that one day they may be of aid to him. Some believe that those gifted a fragment of Khaylus' power become star foxes when they eventually pass away, and their spirit moves on.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Khaylus is a creature known as a star fox. Star foxes are mystical beings native to the First World. They have two forms - one canine and one bipedal. Their multiple tails easily identify them (often being mistaken for Kitsune). They are filled with a curiosity that manifests as grand explorers. Star foxes can plane shift without needing to attune to the plane they are travelling to; some can even manifest throughout time. However, that ability to dance between planes and times has brought them to the attention of their nemesis - the Hound of Tindalos. Hounds of Tindalos are one of the few predators able to hunt star foxes wherever - and whenever - they go. Hounds of Tindalos are drawn to feeding on star foxes to the point where they may actively choose to hunt them rather than pursue another target they may have been chasing previously. Something about the aberrant nature of the Hounds of Tindalos makes them extremely dangerous to star foxes. Creatures who die in the First World are essentially immortal. If they die, they revive themselves. However, a star fox killed by a Hound of Tindalos is slain permanently. Consequently, there are only a handful of star foxes left in existence.
