:Where it all began:

On the enigmatic shores of Vesper Island—a magical, hidden realm off the coast of the bustling, neon-lit city of Neo Genshu—the artful denizens of this mystical land have long known peace, prosperity, and wonder. For centuries, this secluded haven thrived under the gentle embrace of an ancient magic.

But as the world beyond shifts and shadows lengthen, whispers now tell of sinister Cursed Creatures prowling the dark, forgotten corners of the island. With fear seeping into every crevice and trust beginning to crumble, the very magic that once shielded Vesper Island starts to wane.

It is in this twilight of fading enchantment and rising peril that our story begins...

:Meet the characters:

Khali the three-tailed fox (fox form)

Legend has it that kitsune can grow up to nine tails—a symbol of accumulated wisdom and life’s experiences. Khali, with her three radiant tails, dreams of one day matching the mystique of her nine-tailed ancestors. Despite her youth, her extra tails grant her special powers: she can shapeshift into her human form and summon kitsunebi (magical foxfire). As she embarks on an epic journey to uncover the secrets haunting her home island, every step brings her closer to the wisdom and strength that lie in wait.

Khali kitsune girl (human form)

In her human guise, Khali effortlessly navigates between two worlds. With the power to reveal or conceal her fox ears and tails at will, she carries a secret legacy beneath her calm exterior. Ten years ago, when all the kitsune mysteriously vanished from the island, Khali’s mother whisked her away to a temple for safety. When her mother never returned, Professor Rowan—her mentor—warned her to keep her shapeshifting abilities under wraps. Now, as Khali explores the balance between human and fox, she embraces the adventure of her dual existence with a quiet, rebellious determination.

DJ MANEKI NEKO (AKA Nom-nom)
psilocybe (the philosopher mushroom)

Nom-Nom wasn't always the cool cat DJ you see him as today! He started life as a stray, roaming the tiny winding streets of the Snack-Packing District. When the Wasabi Bomb Noodle Shop showed him great kindness by taking him in and giving him a place to call his home, he returned their generosity by transforming into their very own maneki neko—a living talisman of luck, fortune and good vibes. Now, he ignites the atmosphere by dropping sick beats that lure in customers and set the tone for an unforgettable experience.

In the heart of the Crystal Forest, where the veil between worlds is thin, a humble mushroom unexpectedly gained consciousness. Psilocybē evolved into a being of deep empathy, pondering the mysteries of existence with philosophical thoughts far beyond his years. This gentle mushroom sees life through a lens of understanding and reflection, offering thought-provoking advice that feels ancient and wise. He finds beauty in both the smallest details and the grandest ideas, showing his friends that sometimes, the greatest insights come from slowing down and looking at the world from a fresh perspective. Armed with his unique outlook on life, Psilocybē offers guidance to those who seek it, quietly fostering a sense of peace and purpose wherever he goes.

Now, they add a dash of unexpected magic and mischief to every adventure.
