<strong>Name:</strong>Jiro<br/><strong>Race:</strong>Fox Spirit<br/><strong>Class:</strong>Cleric<br/><strong>Best Ability:</strong>Buffing and healing<br/><strong>Least Ability:</strong>Melee combat<br/><br/><hr/><strong>Gender:</strong>Male<br/><strong>Preference:</strong>Heterosexual, can be dominant or submissive, but he has little interest in carnal activity.<br/><strong>Ons:</strong>Pretty faces and shapely curves<br/><strong>Offs:</strong>Males, scat and vore.<br/><hr/><strong>Appearance:</strong>His most common shape is that of a young humanoid male.  Objectively, he is actually quite striking with golden-brown skin, brilliant copper hair and sly amber eyes.  In the light, Jiro looks as if he was made from the essence of autumn itself.  Tall, lean, and narrow, there is a sort of grace to his structure that only a phantom would have.  His ears resemble those of elves, and in the darkness the surface of his body looks smokey and ethereal.<br/>He is equipped with medium armor, with a heavy and sturdy staff that acts as both a tool for magic and a bludgeoning-type weapon in case of emergencies.  While Jiro cannot attack, he is quite decent at defending himself.<br/><br/>There are times he shifts in to a small fox.  There is no difference in his level of power in this form, and he is swifter and more agile.  The downside to this form is, other than the obvious loss of his opposable thumbs, is what little physical strength he has is lessened.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Until recently Jiro resided in a large and highly populated forest as one of its guardian spirits.  It is one of the last virgin pools of energy on the surface world, full of neutral beings who care only for balance and peace.  This group have no ties to civilizations and the politics of the world and had no prior loyalty to the queen or any group of heroes.  They didn't need any, for the forest is entirely self sufficient and well protected by its many talented guardians.  Even during the first of the crusades, the forest managed to keep conflict away.<br/>However, this time something is different.  The trees are whispering about a dark power festering under their roots.  Jiro is one of the handful of spirits the forest folk are sending to the crusades to neutralize any threats that.<br/><br/>Jiro a the cleric, and a talented one at that.  From healing to shielding spells, he can do them all with ease. Living a predominantly relaxed existence, Jiro has developed a laid-back and playful personality.  He is, however, extremely dutiful and devoted.  He volunteered to join the crusade not to destroy monsters, but to make sure that they could not destroy his home, or the balance of nature.<br/><br/>The council dictated to him that the nature of his quest is more inquisitive and diplomatic than destructive, but he must not tell no one or they might see him as a threat to their purposes.
