A puzzling shop run from inside an old polaroid of an abandoned hut. Once inside however, the master of the business emerges, an old 9 tailed fox with an undefinable wrongness to his oddly colored form. His life's work, what he calls a Camera Obscura, takes pictures not of things, but of truths.. Which can be both beautiful and fearful to view.
The Camera of course has its own life's work, and he peddles the use of its power in fulfilling this, providing film and magical means of tapping into the camera's power, while accepting pictures taken with it in exchange for new film and the occasional perk.
More than this, he offers a quiet promise that the Camera's arts are important in some cosmic sense. Both in general, and to the faded memory of a fox...
3 Munny - Film: Magical film used every time a photograph is taken with the Camera Orb, Helmet, or Charm.
30 Munny - Camera Orb: A special Orb that overwrites the current but can be easily removed even between fights. Grants the Snapshot finishing move, which deals normal damage and takes a Blurry Photo. If a full combo or the Finisher gets the kill, takes a Nice Photo.
30 Munny - Camera Helmet: A special helmet that grants no defense, but takes a Blurry Photo on a successful Guard. Takes a Nice Photo on a successful Guard Stun.
30 Munny - Camera Charm: A special Accessory that modifies Scan. On use, it creates a Blurry Photo of the target. If the target has less HP than the Scanner's Magic, takes a Nice Photo instead and defeats the enemy.
Any Camera can take a Nice Photo of a willing entity automatically.
Special Photos: Some truths are especially photogenic. Allies, as well as certain places and objects, will instead spit out Special Photos. They must still be willing, however, and their Hearts unshrouded, or a Super Blurry Photo will be the result.
Picture Perfect: Timing is important. Pictures of a perfect moment can reveal truths that even the Camera Obscura might have otherwise missed.

-Oddities-
Listening to the old fox mumble to himself can send one on strange crusades...
"I would dearly love to see something salty yet sweet. Not in all of China have I seen such a thing..."
"A fleeting home built by many, that their Hearts could live there together for all time. Now, wouldn't that make a lovely picture...?"
