More Sho, this time in his TV personality clothes. He runs a talk show where he often has guests in the form of other TV personalities and it's like a talk show/news report of other celebs ala TMZ style. He hates it so much LOL He leaves the studio and his face immediately turns back to its normal angry expression.
He feels empty inside most days and he feels like his mom wouldn't be proud of the man he became ;;
So there's been a development and it's that Sho is trans now LOL I had a dream while I napped earlier about it and it was too perfect not to do. Also I'm working on reworking his tats to be better. I love him ;; <3 Shitty fox.
There’s this really cool character template chart going around on twitter rn and I wanted to do it with my main OCs from For Fox Sake! It was a lot of fun :>
A baby Sho to go with Mukie!! Now I’m tempted to draw all the yokai as babies even tho for Nozo and Jiyu it wouldn’t make sense edjndfhdf but what the hell I do what I want!
A ref for shitty fox! He..doesn’t have his toyhouse entry up yet because I got lazy ffdfhjdfhj so I’ll abridge his story lol.
Centuries ago, Sho lived with his beloved mother in a snowy village in Japan. He and his mother were ice kitsunes, and had great magical power in ice magic. His mother was a gentle soul, and she loved her son more than anything.
However, these foxes were sought after by bad people. One day while out, they were both captured and in an attempt to save her son, his mother was killed protecting him. Sho watched in horror as she her life was snuffed out and he was taken as a captive. He only endured the abuse so much before his anger boiled over and he killed the yokai poachers. He freed the other yokai they had captured and they swore allegiance to the young kitsune.
It was from then on that he formed his underground yokai gang, and from when he would rain hell on the humans who hurt him so bad. He went in reverse to his captives; he started trafficking humans for yokai purposes. He didn’t care what the other rich yokai wanted the humans for, he just delivered them. He grew cold and dishonest, and stark contrast to his name (honesty)
He needed to fund his main business so over the years he gained a new fun hobby; talk show host. He hosted a gossip show where he became a notorious celebrity among the yokai but he would put on such a sweet and personable air to his fans. It was all a front to his real personality, to which he didn’t know what that was anymore.
Sho became cold and jaded and numb, not knowing what he wanted out of life anymore. He had everything, and nothing at the same time.
Sho’s most prized possession is his bamboo flute that was his mothers. He plays it very well and will often play somber music in his lair to let out his feelings of emptiness inside. He has twin katananas that are stored in a magic tattoo on his back and he can pull them out at will. He also is very proficient in ice magic but he’d much rather use his fists then his magic to beat someone to a pulp with.
Besides his other abilities, he has the silver tongue ability that he got when he got five tails. If he knows the person’s full name, he can command them to do an act once per a 24-hour period. It’s incredibly dangerous of an ability but he can only do it if he knows their full name. Nicknames don’t count.
He’s weak to fire magic and can be taken down with enough magical abilities. He’s not going to go down easy, though.
So I briefly mentioned that Sho’s got tats but I wanted to show them off hehe. It’s mostly a bigass dragon but the katannas on his back actually are magic. He can reach up to them and ‘pull out’ the real tangible katannas to whoop some ass with.
Also showing his various scarring from dealing with so much illicit activities lol and the carnation on his back is very important to him.
Oop there he is, the 5th yokai I made and the one who keeps making Mukie’s life hell lmao. Shōjiki finally here! Info under the cut!!
Sho a contrast to Mukie in so many ways. He also a celebrity and hosts a gossip talk show where he puts on a charming and loved persona (also a different outfit than he wears here lol) and he’s pretty well liked. But it’s all a front to make big money for his main business: being the leader of an underground gang that buys and sells humans for evil yokai to do with that they please with.
Absolutely despises humans for what they did to him when he was younger (still...working out that story element shhh) and as such has no regard for them. He also has a deep seated hatred for Keiko. Him and Keiko had trained at the same temple when they were younger and trying to better their magic, but Keiko had left the temple after her bad act of accidentally killing (in self defense) a human to reflect on herself. She ended up training by herself in the mountains and coming back ten times stronger and at peace with herself and even though she does not have nine tails like Mukie or Sho, she’s mastered what magic she already has and has reached a peace within herself that knows no bounds. In so many ways, Sho is insanely envious of her.
Sho, like Mukie and Keiko, also enchanted a body part when his magic got strong enough. His body part was his tongue, and he gave himself the silver tongue ability. If he knows the person’s full name, he can command them (once a day only for the same person) to do anything he wants them to do. He has to know their full name, no nicknames, and if the person is at a stronger will or magic level then him, it won’t work. But it makes him a devastating enemy.
He also is the second strongest yokai I made in terms of physical strength. He became lax on a lot of his magic training to beef up himself instead and his trusty lead pipe acts as his go-to weapon when someone needs to be taught a lesson.
The real Sho however is in turmoil. He has a horrible sense of emptiness inside him and most days he acts on instinct and anger. He has no idea what he wants out of life and he often wonders if he’s content with what he’s doing, but at this point he’s in so deep he’s not sure he can get out.
