About Foxians

Foxians are a humanoid long-life species with vulpine features, primarily found within the Xianzhou Alliance. Born with keen senses, great dexterity, and a natural sense of eloquence and shrewdness, many Foxians become Starskiff pilots or end up maintaining Xianzhou's trade networks. The Xianzhou have a common saying that goes, "Foxians are born to do business." Foxians are said to be synonymous with the quick and the agile. They have lightning-fast reflexes and keen senses, and juvenile Foxians often have cheeky, playful personalities. Foxians have a lifespan of 250-450 years. The median age of natural death for Foxians is 307 years, making them relatively short-lived compared to the other species that inhabit the Xianzhou. Similar to canids, chocolate is toxic to Foxians and will make them sick should they consume it. During the vast majority of a Foxian's life, a large number of all-powerful stem cells are stored in numerous organs of their body. These all-powerful stem cells will continuously repair the physical body of Foxians, allowing aging and damage to be healed in a short period of time. Until a few years before their end of life, the number of these all-powerful stem cells gradually decreases, but still remains sufficient to maintain their ageless appearance. Between 250 to 450 years, the median age being 307 years, these all-powerful stem cells come to a complete halt and lose their ability to divide freely. What ensues is a death that comes with multiple organ failure. Natural death comes quickly, with patients often dying within 3 to 4 days after the all-powerful stem cells have lost their ability to divide. The good thing is that most Foxians are prepared for the various age-related diseases that begin to develop in their organs, so it is typically not too late to prepare for the aftermath. Although Foxians typically do not succumb to mara because of their shorter lifespans, they are still susceptible to it through unnatural means.

About Xianzhou Yaoqing

The Xianzhou Yaoqing (Chinese: 曜青) is one of the six Flagships owned by the Hexafleet of the Xianzhou Alliance. Sushang served as a Cloud Knight on the Yaoqing before she was transferred to the Xianzhou Luofu. Sushang states that unlike the Ambrosial Arbor of the Luofu, the plaguemark of the Yaoqing is a moon.[1] The ability to shapeshift (known as "Moon Madness" by the borisin) has been observed very rarely in some Foxians, apart from the Foxians of the Yaoqing, who are similar to the borisins genetically. Its Arbiter-General is Feixiao, the "Merlin's Claw," who is described as "fierce and swift". Sushang refers to her as "the madam general" and comments that Jing Yuan is not as good as her. These traits of hers can be seen in the Yaoqing's aggressive pursuit of Abominations of Abundance, as they once secured victory against five different abomination forces within a single year, 8098 Star Calendar. The Yaoqing is noted for its martial prowess and is rarely rivaled.
