 history 

biography Guardian spirits and deities are supernatural beings who are said to protect and guide a specific person or lineage. Kyo comes from a long line of kitsune guardian spirits who take great pride in their perfection and ability to keep those under their protection safe for generations. The family they served one of the oldest families in Japan during the heian era. These spirits have been with the Takano family since the Heian period.Keeping in mind about perfection, Kyo already didn't fit that model of pure white fur and beautiful stormy grey eyes. His family and other relatives saw him as tainted with his mismatched eyes. Some were just waiting for his downfall..This family were once nobles but when Kyo was born the family had already strayed into darker territory. Now being closer to the Meiji era, they began to use Kyo as their attack dog and protector of one of the higher ranking's sons. The only person kept him sane during this time was the person Kyo was sent to protect, Ryuji Takano.. even after the nights of when Kyo came back with blood stained hands blood splattered on his face, Ryuji still welcomed him home with open arms. Kyo would have burned the world if it meant keepingand his friend safe.It was a frigid snowy day when the unimaginable happened, Ryuji Takano died. Killed by gunshot from a dispute he wasn’t even apart of. Seeing his friend, laying there on the ground, bleeding out, Kyo lost himself in a revenge filled haze. Without knowing what happened next, the guardian spirit slaughtered everyone in sight, not caring if it was friend or enemy. Kyo was no longer himself, after changing into gigantic white fox creature. Who stopped him? His own mother had rendered him unconscious, by means no human could understand.“Mother? Why?” Kyo questioned, losing consciousness.“Silence.” The only cold answer he heard right before hazy vision covered mismatched eyes.Days after, Kyo woken up to find himself alone. No one stayed with him or bothered to check on him when he woke. Later there was a trail so to speak, all of Kyo’s family was there with his mother as the leader and judge of what was to come. Mother looked down on kyo, disappointment clear in her eyes. “Kyo, you are no longer my child or officially apart of this family. You will pay for your crime by accepting whatever punishment the Takano family have for you.” Her cold voice finished. There’s whispering and snickering from other members.“See? I told you he was worthless.” A man said.“Oh my, get that runt out of here!” A woman snickered. “There’s no place for such imperfection like him.”“Take this failed guardian and do as you see fit for punishment…” spoke the cold voice of his mother as members of the Takano family took Kyo away. Tears could be seen running down his pale cheeks, but there was no fight back as they walked him away.*******************************************************************************************************************Days, months, years even … Kyo wasn’t even sure how long it’s been.. beaten, tortured, forced to eat human flesh as a scare tactic… he couldn’t even bring himself to heal the wounds on his body, instead scars would begin to form on his pale skin, each he felt he deserved from his failure of not keeping ryuij safe. Eventually, all that filled kyo was a hatred for humans.“Pathetic..” he muttered to himself. “humans take life for granted.. not giving a damn who lives or dies… Just selfishly living…!” Growling out before he lunged forward at the man in front of him. The fox was absolutely fed up with how these humans treated him and took pleasure from seeing him suffering. Fighting his way out was terribly easy as nobody could stand a chance against kyo in a fight.Once he made it out of where they were keeping him, Kyo quickly made his escape before anyone took notice that he was gone. The fox ran and ran and ran until he stumbled out onto a dirty looking path. This pathing looked different from he’s seen before … HONK!! Startled Kyo jumped back, looking more like a scared animal than human, eyes focused on the strange machine in front him, which was a dirty looking truck. The hell!? What era even was it now?!“Hey! Kid! Get out of the way, will ya?” The driver shouted from the window. anger, shock, and a bit of fear in his eyes could be seen, but it slowly faded as he saw how terrified Kyo was. “Are you okay?” He’d ask after getting out the truck before slowly walking over to the strange white haired boy.Staring at the truck, Kyo was confused yet fascinated by the vehicle in front of him. “What era is this?” It was strange how his fear could just disappear like that, but he’s genuinely curious. “And what’s this?” The fox pointed at the truck.“Huh? Oh um it’s the Showa era.” The man answered, scratching his head, finding it odd that was the boy’s reaction. “And that’s my truck.” He chuckled lightly. “So kid, what’s your name?”“Kyo.”“Tendo Tatsuki. Nice to meet ya kid.” With an amused expression, the man would offer to take Kyo in. After that exchange, the fox stayed with man until his last moments on earth. Everything he knew about the new world was taught by Tatsuki.*******************************************************************************************************************From the Showa era to current era, Kyo has been wandering on his own, collecting books and other antiques, meeting new people on rare occasions, appearing in random pieces of media (mainly art such as paintings, music, and photographs.). The fox is constantly on the move because he doesn’t really like to stay in one place for too long. He liked to keep himself more often than not.Present day, Kyo’s now living with his boyfriend Asao Freeman, free from the troubles of his past. Little by little, Kyo is learning how to let go of the family who abandoned him, and accept the new one he and Asao will create together.
