What's in a Name?
Before I delve into Kit Kabbit's character profile, biography and gameplay notes I should clear up the Kit naming issue. Kit Kabbit is the main character in my story Starchild and although he is a takeoff of my personality in some respects, he is also very unique and independent from me rather than some kind of Mary Sue. In truth, Kit began development long before I donned the title. The character's origin goes back to my third grade year, which should tell you how long I've been working on this story in one form or another (I'm 22). Because I was/am a fairly introverted person, the character was a lot like me, but he eventually outgrew me as a creation and became his own "person" with a disparate attitude and set of complexes from my own. For the record, my nickname Kit came later and was somewhat embarrassingly derived from the nickname "Kitten." A girl in my neighborhood called me that after seeing my affinity for animals and my self-detremental curiosity. It was shortened as I got a little older for obvious reasons. My fursona Kit E. Kat aka Kit Foxboy, is something of an amalgam of all these elements and my personal drift towards a more canine attitude which I believe is my more natural inclination. Enough about me, lets get on with it...
Description
Kit is a short canid boy (I am hesitant to say fox because he is an original species) covered mostly in soft snow white fur with very light grayish tones on his limbs and back. He has large, innocent looking eyes with irises that glow with a mysterious yellow light. Several parts of his body are "tattooed" with black fur that make out designs and symbols and glows blue at night. He wasn't born with these, a Guardian trait, and still doesn't understand the implications. His ears are of fairly average size for a fox or dog and are usually held erect. His brush shaped tail is somewhat large in proportion to his body and it's thick fur makes it look quite plushy. He has a lean build and although he has little in the way of muscle mass, he is very lithe and toned.
Before he learns about his heritage (and after during casual periods) he is content to wear a comfortable loin cloth around his waist with long cloths that cover his front and back. He also wears leather straps to hold his travel possessions and gear. In more "civilized" settings he wears a pair of denim-like pants that are worn down and a little shredded. Because of his lifestyle as a wandering nomad, he sees very little point to dressy or fashionable attire and thinks little of clothing in general. He does however take pride in a charm with beads and feathers called the guiding light pendant which his mother gave to him. He uses this as a hair clip for his scruffy ponytail (mane?). After signing up on the quest for the control stones, Ceta (pronounced say-tah) sets out to train Kit how to fight. Kit learns how to use his sword and pistol with no armor but also trains in different types of light and medium armor at times. In the game setting the players preference dictates Kit's combat attire and weapon(s) style but canonically he sticks with very light armor in favor of speed and grace. In combat, Kit wears a short, durable pair of leather shorts under his loin cloth and shoulder pads made of leather. Later in his adventures he acquires a high tech armor set called active armor. The suit consists of activation clips around his neck and belt that when triggered cover the body from neck to knees in a tight, black, electro-core (a technology that uses core shards as a powers source) infused material that is capable of stopping bullets while weighing next to nothing.
Kit is an upbeat person who appears easygoing and carefree. He has an adventurous attitude oddly coupled with a passion for relaxation and goofing off. He's fairly capricious but puts his heart into anything he pursues. His charm and charisma bely his occasional, deep pensive moods that he keeps to himself. He's gentle by nature and dislikes conflict which is a personality trait he has to learn to balance with the duty of protecting the Aurora Core and the innocents of Euphoria by his blade if necessary. Even though he is cheerful and passionate, Kit harbors a dark side that troubles him greatly sometimes. His strict morals regarding violence and the preservation of innocence are always at odds with a seemingly ancient fury that burns slowly and deeply within him. His power over aurora and sheer potential frightens him in that he might lose control of it. His capacity for suffering is great because he holds on to his pains in life quietly and he rarely shares his emotional state when it's anything but cheery. If he wants to achieve his potential and fulfill his goals, he will have to let go of his charming facade now and then by trusting his comrades with his feelings and facing his demons or more accurately his true nature. There once was someone who Kit confided in and shared his dreams with, but she disappeared in one tragic moment in Kit's past. He wonders, did she even exist? Perhaps she was just a part of Guardian genetic memory. (More on her later)
