the personality
Calix can be describe in many ways, but he is first and foremost true to his nature. He is indeed a trickster and loves a good prank. Even though sometimes he does get a bit out of hand with his tricks, he has somewhat of a heart at least.
His tricks are something he takes pride in and he crafts everything from that smallest detail. It does have an effect on him and he often considers each illusion like a child to him and he makes sure to do his research before even doing the basic part of the prank, the set up. This shows that Calix is detail oriented. If the prank is not something that can happen, he probably would not do it. He doesn't want to waste his time on making someone believe the impossible, but he would rather toy with them and let their wildest dreams come true before ripping them away.
The kitsune is also not really know for his love of kids. He tends to avoid them while he's in fox form. He also likes to avoid most kids in human form because he doesn't like to watch them cry if they get caught up in one of his jokes. He has a heart at times. Although, such a thing is hard to say when he seems to openly distaste anything that is not kitsune and refuses to train anyone in magic that is not of his race. He has only made one exception for this rule, and has no intention of making another.
Calix by all means is blunt. He doesn't like to sugar coat the truth for anyone. This has often led to have people think he is heartless and a jerk in most cases. Even if such claims is true, he feels it is more important to try to prepare a person for the real world than to lie about what is out there. Especially with those he cares for, he seems to even be more jagged around the edges. It is because he feels that the more he coats the truth, the most he will doom them to fail in the real world and thus possibly leading to their deaths.
Although, he seems to be a bit loose with his tongue, he rarely cusses and swears in front of others. He finds it idiotic, to say the least, to lose one's cool in front of others. It would given them something to use against him at a later date. He not only prefers not to swears, mostly in front of strangers and kids, he is the type that would give his life for a friend. If a way is found to get past the hard exterior, there is someone who actually cares for others. He would give his life for those he loves, even though he often scolds them and gives the impression of being distant from feelings of love.
The kitsune is known to be anti-social. He doesn't like to make new friends and doesn't go out of his way to make them feel welcome around him. He would rather someone tell them what they wand and then leave instead of trying to make small talk. Unless he wants to talk to someone, he will often just go quiet and go about his business as if they are not there.
the abilities
Illusions Like his father and so many others of his species he does have the power of illusions. He is decent at them but it is clear he doesn't practice as often as he should for a kitsune with six tails. He is somewhat lacking in some regards and sloppy missing minor details here and there. Often he prefers to use this with a mix of his natural element as well to give a more realistic appearance and touch to his subjects he creates. However, if he had to choose he'd rather shy away from the gift of illusions preferring to practice his dark arts more in earth magic. When he does practice illusions it's normally not a good thing.
Earth magic Calix is most skilled with his earth magic having put most of his efforts in to learning about how to work with this form of magic. He, like most earth users, has a weakness to fire magic since it can burn away some of the trees and forestry he creates. However, should he decide to move the very ground itself in an earthquake water is more of a weakness. He has been spending massive amounts of time honing his skills trying to minimize his weakness for his own protection from his own kind and those that hunt kitsune.
Royal Despite being a royal kitsune like his father he finds it very hard to make his illusions a reality. He had been told it is because of his sheer refusal to work on them to make them perfect. He thinks it's his age. He hasn't gained all nine tails being so young and part of him blames thathe on his short coming.
the appearance
Calix is tall and lean similar to his father, but favors more of a human structure similar to his late mother. He has human ears and his features are not so fine and sharp as his elven father's.
He does have his father's bicolored hair. He didn't have snowy white hair like his dad but instead sports the black hair color as the main base from his mother either white streaks in his hair that are the same color as his father's giving him a slight salt and pepper look in his hair. His hair is short cut with long layers. His eyes are a very dark gray so close to black that it is hard to determine the difference between the iris and the pupil.
His skin is fair with a slight tan. Over the years he has collected various tattoos along his body. The first tattoo he got went all the way around his neck in strange symbols that actually mean nothing to anyone but him. They are not words nor symbols for words. They're just something that point to his past and often he wears a collar to hide them from view from wandering eyes. He doesn't really like to share them because of how many people have asked what they mean. The next tattoo he got was his sleeve on his right arm which is a collection of tribal symbols each one referring to a different point in his life. His last tattoo is the most recent only having appeared in the last ten years. It is a tattoo across his left breast and sliding down the left side of his chest disappearing into his pants were very few know where it leads. This tattoo is the most intricate and often he just says it is a charm to keep people out but in reality it's part of his story.
He dresses in a style similar to his father with a more punk style. Often found with boots, black pants, and a lot of chains and belts with the potential no shirt look is often what Calix wears. He really enjoys to wear the collar around his neck the most and that one always has a chain on it that he often plays with without really thinking about what he is doing when he plays with it.
He is a black kitsune with a white belly, chest, and under his tails. His cheeks are also white along with the inside of his ears. Along his black fur he has small markings of red slashes that are inherited from his father who had been a red kitsune however unlike his tall kitsune father he is actually the size of a regular fox. He is much smaller like his mother had been and often he uses this to his advantage to hide. Along his tails are black markings that almost form little hooks with red on the inside. The tips of his tail is also red. His fur is very short and silky. The red markings are great for hiding in the summer weather however in winter he finds it hard to do without cloaking himself with an illusion.
