You are the prince of the Galactic Empire. Or at least, you were. Proud and noble. Powerful and revered. But not any more. Not since you were removed for the ambition of one of your usurping brothers. Kidnapped and sent to some godforsaken colony world at the edge of the empire.
There you were left in the hands of a mad scientist who doesn't need to follow any regulations in his secret lair. You're naked and in an empty tank, hammering on the glass, demanding to be let out. Declaring that he should bow before you and beg for fogginess.
In a tank next to you is a beautiful orangey-red fox, suspended and asleep in some kind of breathable liquid. As the hours go by, the liquid starts to turn vividly orange, until it almost glows with fox essence. The scientist first fills your tank with gas which makes you feel strange. Then you are injected with a series of unknown chemicals. Lastly, your tank starts to fill up with the fox essence.
Fiery orange slimy liquid pours into your tank. It's like jello. It feels alive. It envelops you and makes you feel like you're drowning. But only for a minute. You soon find that you can breath in it. But your whole body is prickling. Almost on fire. You try to demand to know what's happening, but you can't speak in the liquid. But the scientist still answers the obvious question.
“I can't have you be so easily recognized. No one must know who you are. I'm altering your very being. Changing even your DNA. Nothing like this has ever been done. You should be honored. You will be unique.”
He pulls a leaver and the tank is filled with electricity, shocking you and accelerating the transformation.
