Tokine
ときね (In Japanese, Tokine's name is written in hiragana.)
A nine-tailed fox yokai that dislikes humans.
Estimated ~110 years old. Known for her scowl.Kitsune are typically more powerful than humans;
Tokine herself is an unusually strong specimen.She has a harsh demeanor and a stern aura.
She's what's known as a tsundere.

Sound effect

Physical
Sharing her qualities with foxes, Tokine is very agile. Her eyesight is great, too!On the more supernatural side, Tokine is known mostly for her powerful kicks, though her punch isn't much worse!She is difficult to intimidate.Intangibility / Poofing
This manifests as a pink cloud of smoke wherever she was standing.
She can appear where you'd least expect.Clones
Tokine can create copies of herself!

Tokine's magical abilities are cool..!
Unfortunately, she earns some BIG negative points on the behavioral side:•Independent•
Tokine has a fierce sense of self-reliance, and insists on doing things her way.•Short-Tempered•
Tokine is an impatient type, and is quickly irritated.•Reserved•
She often acts distant, refusing to verbally communicate what she is thinking or doing.Not the friendliest...

•Tokine prefers natural settings. From what we've observed, she strolls through places like forests, mountains, and secluded riversides, and would avoid human cities.

Note: Tokine usually distances herself from humans;
recently, she seems to be trying out an urban lifestyle..?

•Traditional Japanese is her main aesthetic, referenced with visuals or even music (her sound effect is a biwa). After integrating into human society however, there may be hints of Y2K aesthetics.

Pik Pack
> Pikmin instruments for Logic Pro's Sampler (4.61 GB)
A collection of instruments used in the Pikmin series. (Pikmin, Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 3).


Features:
• 400+ instruments.
Has all the sounds from Pikmin 1 and 2's sequenced music, and a number of live instruments from their cutscene scores
• Original, uncompressed samples.
Instead of using ripped audio data from the game, most samples were tracked down and recorded off the original synthesizers.

Instrument Hoard
> Instrument Hoard for Logic Pro's Sampler (7.3 GB)
(Work in progress!)
A non-themed collection of instruments; simply stuff I like and my personal favorite sounds.


This pack isn't finished yet; currently, it is only keyboard and percussion instruments.
