Kitsune

Kistunes are the name given to individuals with both human and pure-blood Alyssian DNA. Kitsunes, both male and female, appear as normal humans, however they sport an additional set of ears and a tail, typically relative to the species that their Alyssian DNA comes from. Kitsunes are extremely rare, with Human/Alyssian pregnancies only having around a 0.0000001% chance at birthing one. As of 2119, there are only about 12 kitsunes in existance, and they are all under Federation observation, typically kept away from the public and are guarded 24/7 by private security contractors.

Abilities
The primary reason why Kitsunes are hidden from the public is due to a genetic evolution that affects their brain, allowing them to utilize most of it in the form of mental abilities. One such ability is to be able to read the minds, emotions, and intentions of anyone in their vicinity, making them able to tell when an individual is lying, or if they have ill-intent. They also appear to have the ability to control other individuals, forcing them to move against their will. For the most part, individuals under a Kitsune's control are coherent, and may verbally shout out that they can't control their bodies. For this reason, suspected kitsune births are reported to the Office of the Federation, and are immediately evaluated for validity. During the 2109 NANHI Crisis, Secretary of Defense Albus Geralds attempted to capture a kitsune, Ilia, and use her abilities to control the citizens of the Federation through an amplifying weapon built by Dr. Ivo Robotnik. Robotnik himself had managed to acquire a kitsune, outfitting her with cybernetic implants and training her to obey his every command. She was eventually captured by a joint effort by the Navy and the Marine Corps, and has been detained at a remote Federation outpost to attempt to integrate her back into society, albeit under the standard security conditions for a kitsune.
