Samui:

'''KitsuMUCK''' (also known as kRPG) is a [[Kitsune]]-themed [[MUCK]] based on an ongoing storyline which takes place in many expansive worlds. Despite its dominant kitsune theme, all kinds of [[species]] are welcome. KitsuMUCK has a character generation system which allows players to define their own sets of skills. There is also a front-end on the main website which simplifies the process of creating and setting up a character, as well as creating [[alts]].

==History==

===Beginning Stages (October 2004–August 2006)===

kRPG started out as a primitive chat system similar to IRC. The server and client were both built in Visual Basic, and were constantly updated with bug fixes and new features. Samui was the sole developer of this system, so it was updated when he had time after school or work. Most of the userbase consisted of people he role played with on AIM and IRC, and it never grew much past that.

In early 2005, there were plans made for a MUDlike system named "kRPG: Adventure Edition". Due to procrastination, it never got started, however KitsuMUCK could be considered what "kRPG: Adventure Edition" was going to be.

kRPG's website continued to evolve, and allowed users to create their own accounts where they can manage their characters' profiles.

Development first stopped in March 2006, and restarted in July 2006 when there was new interest in kRPG. It stopped once again at the end of August 2006 when it was decided to turn kRPG into an actual MUCK.

===kRPG 2/KitsuMUCK (September 2006–March 2009)===

Development began on kRPG2 in September 2006. The intention was to allow multiple characters to be logged in on one connection, being used like puppets, but with full user permissions. The MUCK itself opened to the public in February 2007, when the world was mostly built. In April 2007, it was decided to name the MUCK "KitsuMUCK", using kRPG as the internal name. The original concept for multiple characters was scrapped not long after its implementation, due to bugs and the fact it was a moot point to begin with. Activity was fairly limited over time, though Samui continued to work on the MUCK.

In February 2008, Samui added a front-end on the MUCK's forums that allowed a player to edit their profile as well as create alts. This was phased out later in the year because of bugs. Activity continued to be limited during the year. Samui changed the forum software in January 2009 to Simple Machines, and bridged the user accounts between the forums, the MUCK, and the wiki. The main site also had a makeover, marking the return of the Profile editor with many improvements. At the end of February 2009, he installed a Flash MU* client to replace the Java client.

At the end of March 2009, Samui announced that development for KitsuMUCK will no longer be a priority, though it will not be shut down. It remains online for those seeking Kitsune RP, and will be revamped in time.

===kRPG 3/"Evolution" (March 2009–present)===

"Evolution" is the working title for the next version of kRPG. A new roleplaying system and a theme revision are in the works. In September 2009, Samui placed development for "Evolution" on hold, along with KitsuMUCK in December 2009. However, he stated he has plans for KitsuMUCK in the near future once his real life situation improves.

Samui:

'''Samui Shiiba''' (born September 18, 1986) is a [[kitsune]] [[otherkin]] from [[Wikipedia:Bremen,_Indiana|Bremen]], [[Wikipedia:Indiana|Indiana]], U.S.A., and is the owner of the community [[Kitsune Paradise]].

==Bio==

Samui was born in [[Wikipedia:Hartford|Hartford]], [[Wikipedia:Connecticut|Connecticut]], and lived there until mid-2006 when he moved to Sacramento to live with [[Alynna_Vixen|Alynna]] until late [[2008]], when Alynna moved to the Los Angeles area for better job prospects. Samui still remains in Sacramento, living with two other roommates. Due to financial circumstances that have arisen, he moved to Bremen, Indiana in November 2009.

==Characters==

===Samui K. Shiiba===

This is Samui's main [[character]], which represents his inner self. He is a six-tailed kitsune with icy blue fur. The fur on his chest and on the tips of his tails are white. He has seafoam green eyes, which occasionally change color. As his name implies, his strength lies in the cold. He is tuned to the water and wind elements, though most of his abilities involve the use of ice. Without proper hydration, Samui is unable to withstand prolonged exposure to high temperatures. He has the ability to size-shift, however the tallest he can be is his normal height of two and a half feet in his nonmorphic form, and six feet in his anthropomorphic form. He uses this ability to shrink himself for evasion or stealth.

In [[Pokemon]] themed [[roleplay]], Samui takes on the form of a [[Glaceon]], which is very similar to his kitsune self. Depending on where he uses this character, the similarities would be limited to whatever the theme allows.
