AGE: he doesn't keep track. it's in the hundreds of years by now, at least.
GENDER: male.
ELEMENTAL AFFINITY: his affinity lies with the earth element, but he's lucky enough to have a spiritual affinity to wind.
OCCUPATION: ... he doesn't really 'do' anything, per se - he tends to hang around the shrine to the forest spirits, and masquerading as a regular dog as he does he is the de facto shrine mascot.

THEIR STORY: yori's great quest in life is to find a nice fire to settle down in front of and to, ideally, never have to move again. the little dog spirit has spent his long life wandering the lands, every so often spending time as a mortal's pet or shrine animal to remind himself of the finer things in life. he was born the runt of his family, his true form never growing much bigger than the actual dog he took the image of, and this has allowed him to indulge in the pure laziness of never bothering to change himself. he's a smart one, after all, and someone who likes to be fussed and pampered by humans so much can't afford to have a personal item lost amongst them. he passes simply for a little grey dog, and mortals treat him as a friendly stray. his most recent home is a shrine to the forest spirits on the coast of yanwo, although he leaves often for up to months at a time - if he didn't, the god slayers of the forest would surely become suspicious, and the last thing he wants is to be put to the sword. better to stay out of sight, he reasons, to run and hide and live to sleep another day.

[/font][/center]ABILITIES: ♦ communication dog mouths and larynxes are not exactly compatible with human speech, and yori is hardly going to put on a disguise just to chat with some idiot mortal. instead he has come up with a subtle application of his spirit powers, a gentle form of telepathy that allows him simply to put words into another's head as though they'd heard them with their own ears. of course he's selective with the humans he uses this on, as one can never tell who will be startled enough to lash out, but it's par for the course with other spirits he identifies.
♦ vanishing he has no problem with fighting, but the fact remains he's very little and he'd rather not end up on the business end of someone's blade. yori is one to run from danger and attempt to evade it, and his ability to literally create hiding places is decidedly helpful to that end. upon finding a suitable hole, either a natural hollow or a fox hole or similar, he can literally sink it deeper into the earth, sealing the entrance and manipulating the soil up and over himself with little sign on the surface that the earth has been disturbed. of course he can't stay underground forever, and there's only so far he can sink himself before holding up the weight of the soil becomes too difficult.
