Alright, so, while your stats might not be changing, going from "fox" to "humanoid" is somewhat of a large body change and would typically require either:
>Shapeshifting (and, you never know, maybe you will later find a use for the power?)
>Alternative Forms (these cost 2000 OM, and each one allows you to have another appearance and stat layout). While not your current intention, you could maybe get an alternative form in the future (once you plan to get the elf appearance), and capitalise on it to allow your elf form to have somewhat different strengths and weaknesses to your fox form (maybe the fox is faster, but the elf is a bit slower and stronger - whatever fits). I would recommend you take this option, personally. While it is expensive, it will make any differences real and substantial.
>If it's a temporary change, and just for shorter bursts, it could be done with a powerup or powered-up from. Tier 1 powerups are available at level 2, and give you more stats (and can let you drastically change your appearance to something else - such as to an elf from a fox and whatnot), cost SP to use/activate, and cost 1000 OM. But I don't think this is appropriate for you (as you probably would want to stay "transformed" for longer periods of time).
>I am having an ask around to see if there's any other option for you, as spending a lot of OM for something you won't really use is entirely disproportionate. It might be best to start with just the fox form and see where things go.

Being able to change minor features (such as ears, hair, colour schemes, and even growing tails) is totally fine as "roleplaying fodder" and doesn't require you to spend OM on anything. (That said, if you wish to use the tails to any advantage, like actually hitting someone with them or using them to pick things up or block attacks - that would require a move. But if they're just 'floof', you can just *have* them. Sidenote: I don't consider using your tails to direct the fireballs to be a use of them. It's just wiggly floof. By use, I mean them physically doing something.)

One last thing, relating to this: "Common sense bite/claw attack while feral and punching/kicking/holding weapons while biped. Nothing beyond physical norms."

It's not relevant right now, as you don't have Physical Attack proficiency and you're starting off as a ranged combatant, but things like claws and teeth will need both physical prof and a move if you wish to use them in combat effectively (while they're body parts, they are still considered to be weapons - just like a dagger or sword).

Thank you for this info. all of this is within line of what I understand.
I will remove what I have about shifting for now and start out just as a fox and see what can be done later.    

Alternate forms seem like a viable thing and i can *rp fodder the look up* but as you said if i wanna use the tails to smack people that be a move and id need the strength prof+move

My next thing to buy would be the strength prof anyway
