History:
Saiken was born and raised in a small tribe of nine-tailed Vulpines near the far edge of Djarorin and was raised up to be one of the most powerful nine-tails known. During his youth, Saiken was never in contact with humans, so when he ventured out of his tribe and met a young human woman when he was 16, he saw no problem with interacting with her, despite the warnings from his elders. Saiken often snuck out of the village to meet this girl, named Mari, and spent the next few years of his life with her, eventually falling in love with her.
When Sai was nineteen, he and Mari were madly in love and soon were going to run away with each other; neither of their cultures would ever accept their Romeo and Juliet-like romance, and they didn't feel like explaining themselves to anyone. This all changed, however, when Mari's father found out...
Forcing Mari to tell him everything she knew about Sake�s tribe, her father led an attack on the tribe of Mystrians, killing most of the males and taking most of the females and children for slavery. Sai was left brutally injured while trying to defend his home, but that was the least of his problems. The village elders found out about Mari, and were sure that she willingly lured Sai in and tricked him into telling her all the village's secrets. Because of this, two of Sai's nine tails were magically removed and he was exiled for compromising the safety of the tribe. After Saiken's exile, Mari found him and tried to tell him the truth, but he was hurt so deeply by what he thought was her betrayal that he never listened to her, leaving the poor girl heartbroken. That was the last time he ever was even around a human.
After a year of aimless traveling, Saiken stumbled onto a small tribe of seven-tailed Vulpines and was accepted into their tribe and later fell in love with and married Dia, the daughter of one of the higher families of the tribe. As years past, Saiken heard about the humans of the outside world and was outraged. Reminded of Mari's "betrayal" Sai vowed that Mystrians would be dominant over the world once again, and that all humans got "what they deserved".
When he was 24, Saiken was born a son which he named Axl, based off of the word "Axidel" which in his native tongue combined with his last name would mean "Sword of the Fox's Redemption". He had grand plans for his son, plans that would lead to his plans on fighting the human race. When his daughter, Tera (who's name is based of the word "Tierakan", which combined with her last name would mean "Flower of the Fox's Rebirth") was born five years later, humans started to be seen closer to the now larger Seventails tribe, and Dia in fear of her baby's safety sent her to the more protected Darkwood tribe to be raised by Tera's aunt and uncle. Axl, however, was to stay at the Seventails tribe and receive training from his father. This was stopped two years later, when humans attacked the tribe and Axl was taken...
After his son's kidnapping, Sai decided that that this attack would give him the edge he needed to convince both the Seventails and Darkwood tribes to attack the humans. After rebuilding their damaged tribe, Sai started to have Tera trained in magic; Axl was gone in his mind, so Tera became his greatest weapon against the humans. To Sai's surprise, Axl found his way back to the village almost 13 years after he was kidnapped. At first, Sai thought that Axl's slavery hardened his son and he would join in waging war against the human race, but was disgusted when Axl spoke of making "peace with the humans, to live in equality and unity" and quickly had him exiled before Tera could catch wind of her older brother's existence; Sai was afraid that Tera would become "tamed" like her brother if he found out about him.
A few weeks ago, Sai was going to give Tera the Staff of Stonemyer, one of the three treasured weapons of Saiken's family when he found her, the staff, and her pet fox Rose gone. Not knowing where she could of went, he concluded that humans must have taken her away and started getting prepared... War was coming, and he was going to lay waste to every human in the land for the wrongs he and his people had to suffer.
He and his Mystrian Liberation Party burned through human villages until he reached the lands of the Dragon King, where he encountered his son again and tension between him and his wife Dia reached their peak, leading to their divorce. Within time, though, he was remarried and refocused on his task; a meeting with the leader of the Hume Army reminded him why he didn�t trust humans in the first place�
Powers: Saiken has great magical powers and has a very powerful link with nature. He's also the fastest Vulpine in his tribe, as well as the best fighter and the most agile.
Weakness: Sai's weakness is that he always thinks of himself as the best fighter in any duel he's in, which makes him underestimate his opponents. He also has a problem with Fire-type magic, with its effects as well as casting fire spells, but refuses to let anyone know about it. His biggest weakness is due to the magical removal of two of his nine tails years ago, which limits his power.
Personality: Saiken's personality is a mixed bag. He loves his wife and tribe dearly and wants nothing more then freedom for Mystrians. He's extremely nice to those he cares about and will go out of the way to make sure they're happy and safe, but when he's around a human or "tamed" Mystrian, his personality turns for the worst. He's very cruel and ruthless in battle, and it doesn't take much for a Mystrian to look "tame" in his eyes and he'll attack and kill that Mystrian just as quickly as he would a human; first impressions are everything to him. Even to this day, he regrets the day he met his first love Mari and the events that led to his exile and wants more then almost anything to find a way to become a nine tailed Vulpine again and reach his true power.
Physical Description: Saiken is a tall Vulpine, standing at seven feet even. Like his son and daughter, Axl and Tera, he has waist-long hair. His hair is gray-silver in color and is always left loose with soft bangs that hang right above his eyes. He has gray-silver fox ears and seven tails, each of them with pure silver tips. He has a slim yet built frame that makes him look a lot younger then he is and has a lot more strength then he lets on. Saiken always wears a fox-head shaped mask that covers half of his face from the nose up, revealing only his red eyes.
Special Devices/Weapons: The twin Swords of Stonemyer, two magical swords and two parts of the three set of the Stonemyer sacred weapons. These long bladed swords (the blades are around four feet long and three inches wide) are named Axidel (The Sword of Redemption) and Raidex (The Sword of Power). He also travels around with a growing group of Mystrian warriors, all of who share his ideas for a "pure and clean world".
