Profile
How is life for a fox that has lived for several millennia? Has he attained godhood? Or is he enlightened? No, both are incorrect. In the eyes of this fox known as Era, whether or not he can get a good sleep is the most important. Just like how the ring of a battle royale game will shrink, the bounds of the fox clan’s territory are also gradually decreasing, and the small desire to find a peaceful place to safely fall asleep has become too much to ask. Even though some seemingly not too important incantations have been forgotten because of long-term sleep, the incantations related to how to quickly fall asleep are actually thoroughly committed to heart.

Then, will VirtuaReal be a place where he can properly sleep?

Lore

 * Most foxes are unlike Era. Compared to those of his siblings that seek immortality, he would rather sleep. He packed up his belongings and left the fox clan after it was too noisy, but only experienced more inconveniences outside. One day, he couldn't bear it anymore and used some vaguely recalled magic to have a great dream that predicted the future. In his dream, a mysterious black-haired person appeared. She said a lot of profound things to him, but Era only heard four words: "Includes food and board". Mostly out of worship towards this person, he followed the dream's guidance and arrived at VirtuaReal, thinking it would be a good place to sleep, but discovered he was wrong. However, Era is satisfied now that he has a job; previously he struggled to find one due to having no special skills as a result of sleeping a lot.
 * The magic related to his ears and tail have been forgotten, which is why he doesn't have them right now.
 * Era is preparing to make a scarf from his shed fur.
 * The pattern on the top of Era's collarbone is a fox. He has another one on the back of his hand that is hidden by his glove. Rather than a tattoo, it is a marking of the fox clan. All members that can turn into human form have one, only the position is different.
 * Era has been wearing the same clothes for several thousand years.
 * Era suggests the reason he can to transform into a human form is because one can stockpile magic power through sleeping.
 * The flowers on Era's outerwear are Queen of the Night flowers.

Miscellaneous

 * Era's Weibo's specified location is "overseas".
 * Era does not have a favourite qianbei (senior/senpai) in VirtuaReal, as he likes them all. According to him, only kids pick favourites. However, he particularly likes Yog, Aza and Roi.
 * Era has more than three pet cats.
 * Era gets along very well with both of his genmates, but talks more with Leo. His impression of them hasn't changed since they met.
 * The reason why Era and Leo were late in submitting their pre-debut videos was because they were playing games together.
