Abilities

Kit is a Katabatist. A user of the Katabaticy magic the Foxkin employ. And a very talented one at that. Surprising his peers again and again with insight on how to use the winds to acheive different effects.It is beleived by many that he will rise to be a great Katabatist one day.

He is also a master of Katbatsu, a form of martial arts developed to help Katabatists learn control so they can have control over spells they cast. It is also taught to them so that they have a form of self defense should they need it.

Background

Kit was born in Chilargentina. His mother a Vulpkin, and his father a Graykin. Neither of them held any special status and were just ordinary citizens. He lived like a normal Foxkin kit would until about the age of 6 or 7 where, to the surprise of both parents and many friends, he discovered he was able to see the winds of Katabaticy. When questioned by his parents, they found that he could always see them, and it wasn't until now that he felt comfortable with it enough to reveal this ability. His parents were overjoyed at this, and didn't mind at all. After much deliberation, his parents decided to look into the Academy of Katabaticy where they trained Katabatists. In the end, they decided to send him there, even though he was easily younger than most everyone there. However, as they say, big things come in small packages as he demonstrated an understanding and control over the winds that was unmatched by most of the students there, and he quickly moved through the grades.

Although he showed remarkable talent, many kin resented him for it, while others looked at him like a prodigy. It was decided that for his sake, he'd be home schooled from then on. About the age of 9 when this happened, he couldn't be happier at this because he had been living on the academy grounds for the few years that he was there. His family had come to visit occasionally, but he still missed them a lot. Once his family heard about this, they were overjoyed, and threw a small welcome home party where he was able to show off some of the magic he had learned. Throughout the years following this, he was home schooled in the ways of Katabaticy. He showed remarkable talent with using Void wind. But with some of the others, Green especially, he showed little interest in. He was also schooled in the ways of Katbatsu for many years, until by the age of 13, he had mastered the techniques taught to him. While this was happening another war, which were quite frequent the region, had developed. Feeling like he should help in some way, he signed himself into the army. His family were not quite pleased with it, but understood his feelings towards it. Whereas his peers at the academy, did not understand why such a talented pupil like him would want to do a thing such as this. He joined with the Mixed forces section of the army, and trained for about a year before they deemed him ready to join in the war. Once he was actually on the front lines, he began to prove his worth over and over again by showing his ability to command. Quickly rising to the rank of sergeant, where he continued to show excellence. Holding lines that would be deemed lost by commanders, and he proved himself again and again against the odds.

One thing that his peers at the Academy didn't like, was that he was learning things they didn't want him to learn. For while he was on the front lines, he was learning how to use Katabaticy to harm people. His peers knew that he could, quite easily, lose himself in it; And they always tried to get him to retire, however he always refused. He believed that he was of better use in the army. After about 3-4 years of the same excellent service, he quickly became a well known person. It wasn't until after the Battle of Machu Picchu that he became a truly well-known figure.

The Battle of Machu Picchu started when a faction at war with Chilargentina had suddenly called for peace talks. Kit himself had voiced his opinions against listening to those requests, having fought them personally. He thought that, with their fierce fighting habits and then sudden call for peace, was a bit strange. However, his objections went unheard as a peace committee was sent to a neutral location to negotiate with them. Soon afterwards, Chilargentia had received word from the faction that they had hostages, and threatened to kill them if they did not pull their forces back. Chilargentina, not wanting to risk lives, complied with these demands, however in secret they formed a team of specialists. Kit was chosen for his skill and proficiency in Katabaticy and Katbatsu. Each member of the team was told that if they failed in their mission, then all existence of them would be denied and that this was a high risk mission, offering each member a chance to refuse to it. Kit was one of the first and foremost to agree. He believed that it was his duty to undertake this mission.

With the team assembled, they were each told their mission. The team was to infiltrate and extract the Peace council that was being kept hostage, alive and intact. They had no leads of where the council was being held. First, they checked the site of the location where the council was sent. Much to their not-so-surprise, there were signs of a minor battle all around it, along with the bodies of the few guards sent to escort. After investigating the surrounding area, they found tracks of several heavily armed people, with several Foxkin tracks mixed with them. They followed these tracks for many days before coming to the large, heavily fortified temple of Machu Picchu. The original plan was to set a bomb on one side of the temple, using that as a distraction to sneak in the opposite side. The distraction worked well enough for them to sneak in, but they had underestimated the amount of soldiers stationed there. With all the soldiers running every which way, it wasn't long until they were discovered and were forced to fight their way to the council members. They managed to extract them all safely from the temple, however the casualties were heavy. More than 2/3's of the force sent out to retrieve the council were dead. Relying on stealth, they snuck away quickly, and once they were a day or two away from the temple, they sent word back to the front line that the council was safe. The commanders quickly enacted the second part of the plan. A full scale assault against the faction to cover the retreat of the remainder of the team and the council. After traveling for many days, they managed to get back to Chilargentina lines safely with little incident and the council intact. The military and the government both, held the final remaining survivors of the team as heroes to the populace and the members who had died as martyrs for a greater cause.
