☆ ★ ☆ The tribe is run by one Elder. The Elder decides what sports to add or remove based on their tribe-members thoughts. The tribe is very close. Members have to look out for one another and make sure that other members are not pushing themselves to far. Exercise is good, however if a fox pushes themselves to far they can harm themselves. Members gather together once a week to discuss new sports they would like to see in the tribe, or if a already established one needs to be changed or removed.
☆ ★ ☆ The tribe is strict with how, when, and who participates in activities. Each activity has different levels. For example, a level one soccer game is shorter, the amount of goals to win are less and there are more frequent breaks. This is to help the tribe-members from dehydrating themselves or pushing their body to far. Not everyone can do the same amount of activity or intensity. If a sick fox tries to participate in a sport they are rejected and sent back to the sick den. There is no room for errors, sports are fun until someone gets hurt. Once a month the shamans gather the tribe-members to check their bodies, making sure that they haven't pushed themselves to far. They can even tell and Elder when they have pushed themselves to far. Any member deemed as such is forced to sit out the next few games until they have recovered.
☆ ★ ☆ Each rank has a head member. They do not get special privileges in tribe chores, but when it comes to sports they are the team captains or the foxes watching over a sport that do not require teams.
☆ ★ ☆ Laziness is not seen well in this tribe, and the offender will be banished from games until they pick up the slack. Work hard play hard is a term that loves to leaves the Elder lips. To relax and play must be earned. If a fox refuses to do their duties, then will be punished by not being allowed to play any sports for an entire season.
☆ ★ ☆ The tribe's higher being is Fujin, the deity of wind. The tribe worships the Higher Being because wind is like movement. It can push over the mightiest of trees or be a gentle breeze. It is a force to be reckoned with, an active force. The tribe is a very active tribe, and move constantly, an active force.
☆ ★ ☆ Fujin's tempers can switch in seconds. He can be calm one second, then violently angry the next. Living in his domain, the tribe often are protected by Fujin. However, if a tribe-member speaks ill of him it isn't unheard of that the next morning violent wind causes them to have to shut down any plans for sport activity for the day. It is easy to please Fujin, and easy to anger him. The Elder will often go to pray to the Deity once a week to keep him pleased. If an intruding tribe tries to attack Ugoki, Fujin often will send a gust of wind to prevent them from moving forward. Other than protecting the tribe or responding to taunts, he usually stays out of their business.
☆ ★ ☆ Anyone is accepted into the tribe, even the weak. Everyone has a place and sports can be found for those that are weak. As long as they do not lounge about, they can be accepted.

☆ ★ ☆ It seemed only natural when Haile mentioned, since the group was already large and bonded, the idea of creating a tribe based around sports and a community that were brought together by their love for activity. It also seemed only natural that Inertia was elected the Elder, and he happily accepted. While at first the tribe struggled establishing what sports they'd play, safety precautions, and the location of their home they eventually settled down and named their new tribe Ugoki.
☆ ★ ☆ However, all was not well. Haile and Inertia mated together, birthing children during winter. The kits were not strong enough to endure the harsh snow, and all but one perished. Haile, depressed, ran away with Desmodus and was never seen again. Inertia's only child was not athletic, nor did he seem to care for the tribe in the least. Unwilling to mate again or even breed, Inertia did not birth another heir. His son, Impetus, left the tribe the second he became an adult.
☆ ★ ☆ Inertia was growing old and the tribe was growing restless. They did not have a heir, and none of them could agree on a tribe member taking over Inertia's position. It seemed doomed that the tribe would fall apart soon, as it's Elder rarely left his den as his frail bones began to give out. Almada was the only candiate, and she perished the same winter Inertia's son left the tribe.
☆ ★ ☆ The tribe split eventually, unable to rely on Inertia or the belief that someone would take over. When Impetus returned with a single BCR it was much too late. Inertia had given up hope, and he was willing to rot in his cave. Impetus was never the social type, leaving the BCR in his fathers cave and fleeing during the night. With another reason to live, just a little longer, Inertia raised the BCR as his own, naming her Layfie.
☆ ★ ☆ Layfie grew hearing stories of a large family that were brought together with their love of sports. Her grandfather was too weak to play with, so often she'd play little games on her own. She dreamed of a day when others would join her, dreamed of a community that would be united with their love for play. A friendly, joyful community full of life and activity.
☆ ★ ☆ Inertia was growing weaker by the day. By the time Layfie was a strong adult he was ready to pass. He died that winter, which only seemed fitting. After his passing, Layfie decided that she would be the one to resurrect Ugoki, lifting her head high as she set out to bring back what her grandfather had started.

 ☆ ★ ☆ This is written with the understanding that you know the sport, and how to play it as a human. This section is only written to explain how it can be transferred into a sport for a fox. If you do not know how a sport is played, look it up in Google.
☆ ★ ☆ Also, each ball or material is crafted by the foxes themselves by various objects laying about.
☆ ★ ☆ Soccer- Using their tails, legs, and foreheads a participant can easily pass and kick the ball about. Often, rocks are used to create goals.
☆ ★ ☆ Tennis- A fox finds a vine and ties it around two tree's with their teeth. Using the tail only, one can hit the ball back and forth.
☆ ★ ☆ Hockey- This sport is special to winter. When the lake freezes, a fox can grab sticks, distribute them, and hit a flattened object across the lake. Often, the foxes use snow (if it has snowed) or rocks to create goals.
☆ ★ ☆ Basketball- There is a boulder that has a hole in it, which is rather convenient for basketball. To make up for the lack of a second boulder, a tree branch holds a fox-made basket weaved with vines. The tail is used for this sport, and the paw, whichever the fox prefers.
☆ ★ ☆ Track- This sport is very easy to play. A field is used, unless it is winter, then the sport is postponed. Timing however is not done. First, second, and third place are judged by the order of the foxes who cross the designated ending point.
☆ ★ ☆ Swimming- Another very easy sport, a fox swims in the lake unless it is winter. First, second, and third is judged by the order of the foxes that pass the designated ending point.
☆ ★ ☆ Sparring- A friendly version of fighting, foxes are set up in a draw circle and fight. The use of objects is forbidden, as well as unsheathed claws and teeth. Teeth can only be used to hold down an opponent, which ends a match if the fox cannot get up by the count of five or submits. However, the teeth cannot be used to draw blood or harm someone.

☆ ★ ☆ The tattoo can be placed on the body with any color. If the fox does not want to tattoo themselves, then they can have it as a charm on a bracelet, necklace, or anything. As long as it is there. Only one of the above is needed.

 ☆ ★ ☆ This is to help people know what is inside the tribe. As time goes on new places will be discovered and added.
☆ ★ ☆ Lake - A beautiful lake, it is used for swimming until winter, it also hosts many different kinds of fish. This is the main place to find water to drink seeing as the water is clean and refreshing. When it freezes over the foxes use it for hockey~
☆ ★ ☆ Fujins Domain - The Elder goes here to speak to Fujin when they have to, though doing so is rare. It is forbidden to follow the Elder here, though when the Elder isn't here members may visit and swim if they want.
☆ ★ ☆ Warriors Field - A field used for sparring, track, basketball, soccer, events, gatherings, and simply to lounge. There is a boulder that cannot be seen in the picture.
☆ ★ ☆ Tennis Row - Brushed free of leaves and tree falling when a game is announced, this is the perfect area to tie vines around for a tennis game!
☆ ★ ☆ Den - Where all the foxes sleep, the picture merely shows the opening to the large, intricate maze that is their den. It goes rather far, giving plenty of room for foxes to sleep. Carers and kits sleep together in one "room" off the den, scouts, gatherers, tribe-members, and hunters sleep in another "room" with one another, and shamans have their own "room" where they sleep and heal, herbs lining the walls that they have collected. Elder sleeps near the entrance so they can keep an eye out for their tribe.

☆ ★ ☆ Elder runs the tribe and watches over it. The Elder also is the one that decides everything finally, when it comes to sports or tribe events or politics. The Elder can speak to Higher Beings and pray to them. They have the ability of all the ranks below them.
☆ ★ ☆ Shamans heal those that injury themselves in games or daily life. Shamans have the responsibility of making sure everyone doesn't push themselves to hard. Also, Shamans are responsible for making sure that every month they do a monthly check of members. They have the ability to use small amounts of magicks. Nothing extreme like commanding oceans or anything, but small commands over Earth, Air, Water and Fire. The abuse of these powers, however, will result in Shamans being demoted.
☆ ★ ☆ Hunters collect food for the tribe. Due to them being more active than some ranks they are given longer breaks between hunting and games. Hunters are watched heavily while playing sports because if one gets injured, that means they cannot hunt, which means less kill. Hunters also protect the tribe if an attack happens. They have heightened senses. They can move quicker, and sense other Modifoxes quicker and more accurately than other Tribe members.
☆ ★ ☆ Gatherers help carry kill Hunters fall, and collect basic items for tribe-life. Since their job seems a little less heavy duty, Gatherers have an additional job. They collect materials to replace old gear and are in charge of making new balls for games and new gear. They have ability to use ultrasonic-like pules, to check surrounding areas for food and other usual materials.
☆ ★ ☆ Carers take care of the kits. When a kit is born they babysit while the parents do their chores or play games. It is the Carers job to make games for the kits to become stronger. When a kit grows, the Carer helps them decide which rank they want to become. They can sense auras. They have ability to sense auras, and to calm other Modifoxes when they are in distress. They can also communicate with kits that are still in BCR stage, to soothe them. They can also aid healing. If a Modifox is hurt in battles, spending time with the Carers means that their wounds can be treated faster and leave minimal scarring.
☆ ★ ☆ Scouts patrol the land at night while everyone is asleep. Usually only one or two do this, and they are given permission to sleep in the morning when everyone is awake. Scouts also send news to other tribes. They have the ability to use telepathy, in order to send news faster. The telepathy is one way, unless they are talking to another Scout or an Elder.
☆ ★ ☆ Tribe-Members do almost everything here and there. They are called for to help with members with set jobs. They have no special abilities.
