Description: a random Gtroop sketch. I was going for a industrial feel, as well as some hints of colonial and nazi touches. hence the metal breastplate, and SS look to the soldier. this is basically one of the First G-troops, sporting the iconic one red eye design that later follows into the other versions. This particular design was made on Mars, during the last days of its tereforming. Starting out as mere military police, the G-troop soon became a name to be feared. Much of their technilogical advances, leaps, and inventions still remain completely secret from the outside world, and the subtle hints that /have/ gotten out remain too complicated for normal human minds to comprehend.

Description: Charlotte, the middle child, and the only girl, having to listen to her older brother, and deal with her younger at the same time. somehow she does it. Charlotte can be best explained as nothing but heart, with a pinch of spice. very few times will you get a stern look from her, though a roll of the eye is seen far to often. She takes after her mother the most. Rick, having treasured his own golden button in which his father had given him, in turn went through much trouble, to find, carve, polish, and mount a beutiful purple crystal, upon a necklas for Charlotte's 10th birthday. Her brothers were never jealous of it, they knew she deserved it for putting up with them n.n

Description: Padreic is the oldest of the children, and is definately the more adventurous of the group. Always one to get himself into trouble, but with a nobal soal. Padreic takes after his father, in that he will do anything to save the ones he cares about, though he may be more quick to act than his father. Padreic is a lover of tall tales, and dazling adventures, seeing life as a story book. He idolizes his granfather HIro, as a great explorer, and wears a hat similar to hiro's showing this. What he gains from his natural grandfather is obviously his looks. Sporting the very same color scheme, though in a similar yet different pattern.

Description: This is based off an RP in which Simon and Fiona were discussing about rick's future in the colony. Rick, having waken up and going for some water, over heard the conversation. Rick being a mouse, and also a secret from teh colony, was not able to have friends outside a very few people like fiona and simon and hiro, and rick was very much kept away from teh outside world for all of his young life. Hence giving rick his almost need for friends when he finally goes out to live on his own. During the conversation, the subject of him being adopted, came up. Rick having never thought himself to be any different than his mother and father, was heartbroken. He had never known that he wanst fiona's natural child, at the time he found out he was only around 5 or 6 equivilent, and it came as a great shock to the little mouse. The scene here is rick holding onto his teddy bear of sorts after just finding out the awful news. Holding onto the stuffed animal as the last thing he had left, "y-you're still my family arent you?" I remember him asking the toy.

Description: A quick sketch. I've always wondered what would happen if the stone fell into the wrong hands, especially the green one, it seems to already be evil in itself. Well, what wronger hands to fall into then Rangers? I decided to sketch out the demonic form ranger might turn into. I decided to use the gaping maw as a reacuring symbol in this, and make him the very essence of pain, suffering, and a gluttonus lust for blood and revenge. This ranger would stand twice as tall as the original, and would pulsate with a sickly green glow from its torn open middle. His toungs can stretch to any length, and his multi barbed skin, can open almost any place to reveal a forest of teath, and acid like drool. This is, the Ranger incarnate.

Description: In an RP, tzolkin was spending the day over at Rick's place. After breakfast, Rick asked tzol if he'd like to play a game. Tzolkin, being rather knew to many things, was also un aware of how exactly to play cards. Rick happily took it upon himself to teach tzol. Tzolkin proved to be a fast learner, and soon the two found themselves laughing and having fun, as they played Go Fish. To make the RP more interesting, I decided it might be cool to actually play during the Role Play. Me and Tzol's player each took out a piece of paper and a pencil. Drawing five rectangles and penciling in a number and or face card in each rectangle. In RP one of us would ask.. "have any 3's" and if the other had a 3 written down, then they'd say yes, and then the other would smile, and write down his pair. If the answer was no, then the person would have to go fish, and pencil in another random card, making sure not to use any numbers they already had or used, to keep the game fair. It proved to be great fun, and I hope to do it again. Tzol proved to be a formitable foe, as well as a fun opponent. If anyone would like to play it during RP, or just still isnt sure how to play the game, just ask me on the muck, I'll see what I can do. as for tzol, I hope to play again sometime, a tie just isnt enough for this mouse. n.n

Description: Gore is one of Joao's characters. He Was brutally mauled when Sewer rats attacked the outpost he was on, and over ran it. He lost most of his right hand and arm, most of his ear tissue.. one eye, four fingers, his tail.. both legs, and suffering damage to his chest cavaty. Thus getting him the nickname.. Gore. He has since joined the guard, and made for himself a unique battle suit so that he could get his revenge on the rats who did that to him. Even with so many body parts missing.. he is still able to fight.. this is one mouse that doesnt give up. Gores suit comes complete with a blow rifle attached to the back, a blow machine gun, a small CO2 tank, a doubleA battery for the flashlight on his shoulder, a bladed arm, a mask to help keep dust out of his now tender lungs and throat, and two state of the art, artificial running legs. Rats had better watch out.

Description: ah the pugboat.. one of my favorites. A simple design, ment to transport mice scouts and supplies the quickest way possible, in a straight line. But traveling through the sewers aint a walk in the park. Sewer rats infest them at all hours, so the mice needed a way to get by stealthily. using a half submarine design, the pugboat above water looks like nothing more than a pile of floating garbage. It's cramped, cold, and only has one diode as a light.. but it works.. and is the fastest way to get from the city and back, unoticed. Larger designs are be made at the moment.

Description: Elite units of the Nimh mouse military. Each is specially trained in accuracy, endurance, and lung control. The sniper for example, has trained his/her loungs to build up and blow out in a sharp but imenceley hard blast. The main trick though, it to be able to do it many times without wearing out. But if you want to talk endurance, you talk machine gun style. The machine gunner has a special type of rifle, much like the sniper, but instead of a longer barrel and a scope, the machine gunner is given a spring loaded clip. The machiners train their lungs to blow hard and Looooong. Able to empty entire clips of needles withougt wearing down or wearing out. Compare it to birthday candles. A sniper could blow out a really big candle in a second, while a machine gunner could blow out a bunch of candles one by one, without running out of air. This lung training is hard and tedious.. only the best endure.

Description: The Nimh mouse support unit. The nimh mice take a different out look on combat, favoring long range to close combat. But even the mice need to acknowlege thier physical weakness on the battle field. That's where this beast comes in. On multiple occasions, sewer rats have ravaged mice outposts, some have even suffered casualties. Though the blow rifle works efficiantly at long range, it is seriously inoficiant at short range if the user does not know how to use it correctly. Mice though fast, are natural prey of Rats.. and the rats are built to take down and consume them. To counter these threats, a new unit was made. The CO2 supression unit, utilizes the mice's most advanced tech. Kangaroo type stilts provide extra speed when running through the tunnels. A co2 tank, motors, and ammo belts provide a whirlwind of auto matic fire able to lay down a blanket of needles in seconds. BUT. this unit is not made for drawn out battles, it is merely a valued unit that can get to the area quick, and by time. Their will always be more rats, but the supression units are able to get in quick, and hold the line until more troops can arrive and perform an evac. KEY(as seen in the bottom left corner) 1- Porthole viewport, thick protective glass. 2-Auto matic rifle, trigger encased inside for protection. Ammo belt and CO2 tube connect. 3- ammo belt. 4- CO2 Tank 5- Side parascopes to increas vision. 6- Light weight armor. 7- Kangaroo type running stilts. 8- abdomen armor 9- watch batteries 10- Jump suit. 11- Guard mouse for scale. As an added bonus.. these things add a nice air of intimidation to the small mice. n.n

Description: A quick Sketch I did for Ferisha. It's Sara, yes I got the spelling right now ;). Ferisha had asked me to do a pic of her in my own style.. well, I have many styles, and wanted to try a more realistic approach for this one. So I took a picture of an Anarexic friend of mine, and turned her into a rat. Then I went about making the face look realistic, but also with expresion capabilities. Making her eyes more human, and her face a tad bit more fleshed out than most rats. The final design I'm quite comfortable with, though after taking that photo, I feel a bit more worried for my friend. It's not until you see someone in the flesh, that you can fully grasp the seriousness of anarexia. I've talked to her about it, and perhaps she will see someone about it. Never the less, she prooved a good subject for Sara, as sara is very very skinny, with deep eyes. Enjoy Ferisha, I hope you like this design, I give nothing but the best for my dear friends.

The first of them was Grissteage, a sickly rat incapable of Physical Contact, immune to poison, and has an odd ability to work well with the sickly and discuting creatures of the world. Not one for Physical Combat, Grissteage stays back and lets his Deadly pets do the work. Usually one to rely on stealth and others to do his bidding.

Description: "get to the top, you have to get to the top!" Christopher told himself, his knees were week, and his calf threatened to tear apart, and folly him to the muddy floor. But he pressed on, against mind and body, his heart pushed him further, and his feet truged up the great hill, his fore paws digging into the wet ground, to help his footing. "just. a bit further, not long now.. see, I must see." The smell is unbarable, a cold musty smell, rotting and fresh, a crispness to it, to compliment the morning dew. He could see his breath, but smell it not, as the air thickened around him. Climbing like some frightened critter, scrambling to the top, just to get a glimps, to see what fate had befallen his breatheren. To the top he makes it, and his heart sinks like a stone tossed into a lake, and at last his knees fail him, and he drops to the ground, feeling the impact in the side of his face. At first it looked like hills, perhaps the rain has softened the mud, and formed it in some twisted way, no. Flesh these mounds are, dead now, or mostly. Chris weeps at the site, his hands to his ears, to block out the sounds of the moaning, the gibberish cries to end a miserable existance. He knew these men, these rats, now all thats left, is meat. He has to persue, must give word of this evil fate that hath befallen him and his brothers, the colony must know. Down, down, down the hill does he jog, his mind two steps ahead of his feet, and his heart but a spec in the distance. Tears leak, and his chest locks up, as he runs past the calling mounds, blinding himself from the outstreched paws. He races past, "the colony must know!" He screams in his mind, and it echoes forever. Such an enemy had they faught, such a deep realization of primal fears. Like children facing the monster under their bed. It began to rain. At least it was over, wasn't it? he did his duty, he survived, the enemy was dealt with wasn't it? Go home, be safe, find a place to cry, he told himself. But where was the body? He had to bring back proof that this thing, this monster was dead. So he went to search the mounds. It did not take long for the curse to find him, or rather him the curse. Young Christopher, came upon the greatest of flesh mounds, still fresh from the fight, the result of a final assault upon the beast, if not killed by blades, then surely it would have sufficated from benieth the mound. Chris moved to dig into the sickly pile, but it retaliated, and began to move, to pulse like some living sore upon the earth. "oh, god, no.." Chris began to backpedal. The mound grew, and the bodies started to tople and fall, a shadow arising in their midst. Before his widened eyes, it took form, like a rat, but greater. It stood twice as tall as any normal rat. A deep evil was this, Garbed in Black rags, it turned. Metal Claws, and Metal feet, a face devoid of emotion, paper white, a face of death. Chris couldn't move, but oh did he want to. Ears like horns, utop a demonic crown, The bones of its slain adorned like so many trinkets upon its huge form. Muscles wrapped around a knotted body, and huge. Dead yellow eyes tore through the thick air before it, fixed upon Christophers frozen form, unblinking and cold. Deep within its shape, it drew a mighty black sword, and steped forth from the mound of its enemies. Fog became a hell, and it whipped and whirled about the creature like a hurricane! A sparkle, and a sheem, and a bladed line appeared from the smoke, a whip, the head of which came aparent as its menacing spiked self pierced through the cloud! and another step did the monster take towards christopher. Get up! he yelled into his head, and get up he did. Run, get out, get safe, RUN! Legs began to move, but they did not get far before they broke, crushed upon the might of the black mace. Chris yelled in pain, and hit the ground with a wet smack, turning about wildly to once again see his attacker. The fog parted like a great wave, and from it walked the shadow, those yellow eyes starring. Horrible sounds eminated from it, forming into words, cold, hard, imeasurably dreary words. The harsh sounds echoeing in his ears, would be the last thing Christopher ever heard.

Description: The Second. Victor Fray (ranger) is an interesting character, full of Mystery. Equally so is this one, known to ranger as the Second. Ranger was not the only one who fell to the Snake king and his horde of Feral's, their was another. Two rats of equal stature, size, and color. The horrors that were done to them, remain unwritten and unspoken, to survive such atrosities upon the flesh is a testament to their imense will power. They were slaves, used by the snake to capture food and supplies for it, they hunted for it, and it trained them well. More often than not Ranger and the second were put into sparring contests against eachother, to the full enjoyment of the snake lord. Their minds broke, and for the longest time they remained mindless servents. Funny things happened in that cave, unexplainable things, horrible things. They were foes, but brothers, hated yet bonded by some miserable existance. The second was the first to gain his conciousness back, an event the snake did not take to lightly, Ranger noticed this, and also became self aware again. While the Second was enduring an extra amount of daily torture, Ranger began to formulate a plan to excape. Ranger began to get "close" to the snake, while the second rebeled as often as he could. Ranger brought the snake food and goods at his order, while the second refused, only to be tortured futher. Ranger was smart, and it was not long before he made his escape. But, in the heat of battle, slaughtering hundrends of ferals, and eventually the snake king, Ranger did not free his so called brother in blood, and left him their to die in darkness... or so he thought. After months of feeding off the corpses of the hundreds dead left by Ranger, The second broke free of the stone walls of the cave, punching through the once avalanched doorway. Memeories were a blur, he did not know who he once was, and upon Ranger's escape neither did he. By the time they were both in the cave, ones memory had already been broken, so it was the mind of the other which was attached to so dearly. The mind of Victor Fray. So now the question arrises, which one really is Victor Fray, and which one the imposter? Only time can tell... one fights for ritiousness, the other for blood lust. One garbed in black, the other Red. Both scarred in their own ways, both masters of the blade and paw. Enemies, Brothers, They are opposites, yet are drawn together, they are foes, yet they share the same memories. ..But their can only be ONE Victor Fray.

Description: Ah here we go, some advanced armor, for the model 1358 model G-troop. Well I was thinking, The stallion army has unlimited resources, and super advanced tech. So, what kind of material are they going to use as armor? Most futuristic soldiers are adorned with metal and heavy shoulderpads and such. If you ask me, that's kindof a low-tech way of doing it. What, are they going to tackle anyone? I tried to eliminate all unnecessary baggage with this design. The G-troop armor is made of a highly advance smart kevlar cloth. The material is very light, and can be put on in many layers, providing the most coverage and allows for more movement. When struck the material goes instantly rigid, dispersing the blast over a wide area. The material can also disperse heat rapidly, and is insulant towards electricle weapons. Of course with any armor, any weapon with enough oomf, can penetrate it. Still, Stallion armor stands as a high point in their list of technilogical achievements. The helmet bares the same symbolistic one red eye that all G-troops have, and though the armor is tough, they stress NOT getting hit as a high priority, and are known for ingenious and deadly tactics, apposed to most of their enemies, "just keep throwing waves of troops" tactics. G-troops are completely encased in their suits, making them quite emune to most chemicle weapons. also, they can speak to eachother through com systems without being heard by the enemy. Their silent advance more unearving than a blood thirsty battle cry.

Description: Fiona does indeed notice the look, and she just can't help herself. She laughs softly as she brings the tray over, easing up on the bed so she's sitting Beside rick, holding the tray to her lap. No tables in the room, and she doesn't really wanna make him move. She'll just have to be careful. The soup is stirred, easing a little steam from it before she proceeds to bring the spoon up so she can feed him. Rick is almost bouncing as the food comes to him. He settles down though as she sits. She gets a spoon full, Rick wants to lean foward to take it.. but, he remembers his manners, and waits for it to come to him. And of course it does. The soup is warm, and it tastes heavenly. Rick always loved warm food, from the very first day he had it. when the spoon is taken away, he smiles wide, though his eyes are a bit weary, the food is still very welcome. His smiles with puffed cheeks, full of soup, a little bit seems to have snaged his chin fur, he doesn't notice, and eagerly awaits the next spoon Fiona watches with some amusement that she just can't hide, licking a thumb and using it to rub that little bit from his chin, giggling lightly. From here, it's more or less a repeating cycle, gathering more up and making sure it's not too hot, then presenting it for the little sick mouse in her bed, watching quietly, save for encouraging words given now and again. She hopes that this will also help to ease his discomfort for a little while. Rick hardly notices his headache, or his belly. In fact, his belly feels quite good with the soup filling it. When the bowl is empty, he sits, laying in the pillow, smiling, only coughing a little now and then. He has lost track of time, and sunlight starts to seep into the windows, only just. He coughs again, but moves in the bed to give Fiona a hug, "I love you mom." he says, and eases back into the pillow. His eyes droop, and he begins to fall asleep, as kids do when they have a full tummy. Fiona notes the bit of sunlight from dawn drawing in... She smiles, still feeling somewhat 'wierd' by being called that.. But she's growing used to it by now.. She waits till he's sleeping before she moves to blow out the candle.. She then moves to the window to draw the blinds, deciding it might be best for him to sleep awhile.. Though she probably shouldn't she herself ends up slipping back into bed, staying close by while drawing the warm covers over him, eventually turning him about and drawing a warm arm around him... She can deal with getting a cold, she guesses.. n. -The end of a wonderful RP with Fiona. poor Little Rick had come down with a cold, and came to her bedside in tears, looking to her for help. Fiona, comforted him, and got him some medicine, and some warm soup. The end up cuddled together, Rick sleeping with his "mom" in a large soft bed, early in the morning. I really do love the character of Fiona, she has really grown on me. So caring and thoughtful, she is in fact quite young when rick comes into her life, I believe maybe still in her teens. But she finds it in herself, to set aside her worries, to help this orphaned little mouse, and her character shows such maturaty and moral, that it can bring a tear to your eye. At first she found the term of "mother" wierd, but she seems to have grown used to it.. even calling rick "sweetie" now and then. Whenever Rick needs a shoulder to cry on, or a heart to listen, or a hand to help, she is their. She and Hiro balance out so perfactly, Rick is very lucky to have such great parents.

Description: Now this was an interesting concept to do. I was wondering how the out post mice might communicate with the colony, especially during combat. So, I came up with this. I had to do allot of google searches before I found a winning combination. The mice took a Nec Cellular phone, which by the way comes with, camera functions, a light, microphone and head phone hookups, and basically all the stuff a normal cell phone has, but it was special because it was card shaped, and small.. just big enough to fit on a mouses back. Anyhoo.. they took that and a headphone piece from those special kind that fit in your ear.. and spliced them together, doing some custom wireing, and tada.. you have the Radio troop. hehe.. on a side note, The Nec phone may be cool.. but its only in Japaneese.. n.n maybe that's why it was thrown out, and the mice recovered it. So, I assigned it to a special soldier. He prooves his value threw other skills than combat. Crudely, and unoriginally nicknamed "brains". He is the residant smart alic, and just plain smart too. He started out simple enough, but rose through the ranks do to his amazing knowlege and expertice in all things electricle or technilogical. Brains joined the guard, mainly to tick off his parents, and it worked. And much to his parents dismay, he quickly made his way to the top, even ending up joining Jolina's personal strike team. Whenever something needs a fix'n, or taken apart.. or sliced into.. Brains is the one for the job. Hehe.. and even though it annoys Jolina, Brains has been frequently found, using that phone to type message single women on the internet, using the allias "Ben Dover age 21" but, he can be profesional.. when he wants to.

Rick has begun to look better, not as boney as before.. though still skinny.. and he has trouble keeping enough strength to move around, but at least he can. He looks around, the room is dark, Hiro might still be asleep. Rick eases out of bed, and peers out from the crack in the door. The room looks empty.. he heads out into the main room.. wondering around a bit, just curious. The room is dark.. it's very early morning. He sees a big door, the entrance into Hiro's apartment. He walks up.. it opens freely.. outside is a large hallway, little Rick peeks his head out.. "what is this place?' he wonders to himself.. ready to walk out and explore.. ) (Hiro coincidentally woke up the same time Richard did. He got up and stretched. He put his glasses on. It took him a long time to get out of bed and walk to the main room. He gave a big yawn right after he got out of bed. He moved his glasses with the side of his paw and rubbed his eyes with the same paw. ) As it turns, Richard might notice that Fiona is still around as well.. While not in the room herself, she does settle in the room across, not quite stirred from sleep yet however. A simple gown is nestled on her while she sleeps on one of the house's couches. She stayed up awhile to make sure Richard was going to be able to sleep easy before finally going herself, almost tempted to just keep a hold of him like a teddy bear. Logic decided otherwise. She rests easily on her side, her breathing steady as she rests. (Richard looks outside.. "wow.. this place is big.. Hiro's got a big home.." Rick thought to himself.. and walked outside, his curiosity kept his legs going. Their were lamps, and tall ceilings, and tiled floors, Rick had never seen anything like it. He kept going.. after a few minutes of walking though, he began to feel tired again.. He looked back.. he had walked a long way.. he went back into an intersection. Did he come in from the left.. or the right? he looked around, now a bit panic.. First he went down the left corridor.. but that didn't lead to anything.. then to the right.. everything was still a little dark. Rick was lost.. "h-hiro" he whimpered softly.. "h-hiro.. Hiro.. HIRO.." he called out.. "Hiro I'm lost.." but his calls went unanswered.. he took a step.. and collapsed, his legs finally giving in.. Rick began to shiver.. the corridors had cold floors. He found a cozy spot behind a bench, and curled up.. His ears perked.. Footsteps! he peeked out, but it wasn't Hiro.. Rick hid behind the bench, letting the strange rat walk by... Rick watched him leave.. he grabbed his own tail, and held it close.. "I- Im lost.." he whimpered to himself.. ) (Hiro sees Fiona on the sofa. He smiles a little bit. He then moves the the room where Rick was supposed to be. The door was slightly opened. He opened the Door further and found out that Rick was not in bed. "Rick? Rick? Where are You? You hiding?" he looked around. He quickly went up to the sofa and shook Fiona gently. "Fiona... Fiona... wake up! Have you seen Rick?" he looked Around once more and saw the entrance. The door was slightly opened. "Oh no..." he thought. He quickly went out of the apartment. "Rick? RICK?" he said in a loud voice. ) Fortunately, Fiona was naturally beginning to progress to the stages of waking as it is, so when shaken, she wakes fairly easily. Eyes open a tad tiredly, looking up towards Hiro. "Hmm?" To what's said though, her eyes suddenly open wider. "What? I thought he was sleeping in your room... No, I haven't" She says, starting to quickly get off the couch. She's not far behind Hiro... "Rick!??? Can you hear us??" She then looks to Hiro.. "I'll go this way," she says, heading back inside, still calling out regularly. "Rick????" (Richard stayed in a huddled little ball. What was he going to do.. he couldn't walk anymore.. he didn't have the strength. The colony was starting to wake up.. more and more rats walked by. Rick heard a voice.. he wanted to call out, but the other, stranger rats might see him.. For a long time he didn't do anything. Tears rolled down his cheeks.. why did he go out.. why did he have to be so curious.. stupid stupid stupid.. Suddenly he sees a female rat walk by.. Its FIONA! "Fiona!!" Rick cries.. tears streaming down his face, and he seems to muster enough strength to run out from the bench, the short distance it is to her.. holding his arms out.. scared out of his wits.. ) (Hiro dashed into the other direction of the hallway. He was so worried about Rick. He hoped nothing bad happened to him. "Rick? Rick?" he said while dashing through the hallway. ) (Fiona pauses; looking as Richard suddenly runs her way. Her eyes widen and she steps over to close the distance, crouching down and reaching out to scoop Richard up and into her arms securely, doing a good job of covering him up.. "Oh heavens.. Shh-shhh. It's okay, it's okay.. You're safe now, I've got you..." One of the rats turn about and raise a brow at Fiona, not making Richard out that well. She looks to the other rat and smiles. "One of the little ones got lost. I've got it under control. n.n" The rat nods after a moment, and turns to go about their business while Fiona starts to walk back towards Hiro's quarters, a paw stroking over the back of Richard's head as she snuggles him. "Shhhhh...." ) (Richard cries, holding Fiona close.. "I- I wanted.. t-to get.. Ho Home.. *sniff* but their was this strange rat *sniff* and, and.. m-my legs.. d-didn't work... and, and *sniff* I didn't know what t-to do *sniff*" tears go down his cheeks as Fiona tries to comfort him.. "I was so Scar-har-har-ed" he cries, hugging her tight, he sniffs again.. and berries his face in armpit, his tiny arms hugging her.. Muffled sniffs can be heard, and Ricks chest heaves a bit as he struggles to get control.. Letting Fionas warm body calm him down. ) without knowing Rick was found, Hiro looked around. He didn't find him anywhere. He decided to go to Fiona's direction. Maybe Fiona has found him by now. He walked back to the direction of his apartment. He looked back every few seconds. He soon saw Fiona. He walked a little bit faster up to him. It looked like he was holding something. Fiona's ears fold back a touch, her heart wanting to melt again. She coos affectionately and snuggles Richard even tighter. "It'll be alright. We're gonna take care of you and make you feel better.." She smiles a little. "I'll get you back alright.. You really shouldn't wander around though unless one of us is with you..." She looks to Hiro, smiling. "He's okay, just lost his way and got scared.. n.n" (Richard sniffs, and looks up at Fiona.. "I promise I wont ever leave again.. I promise.." tears seem to dry a bit, he still holds to Fiona, his tail curls. "I.. I was so scared, I got lost... I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry.." he then buried his head again, not knowing Hiro was coming. Ricks breaths seemed to calm down, and he seemed to be staying their more because he felt safe and comfortable, rather than hiding his face from the crying. ) (Hiro smiled at Rick. "Oh Rick I'm glad you're okay." he smiled. He stroked Rick's head. "There's nothing to be sorry about Rick. We all have curiosity. He looked at Fiona and gave a smile at her also. ) (Fiona grins... She hoists Richard a little bit while petting his head fur... "Well, since we're all awake.. Maybe we should get some breakfast. n.n" With that, she starts back for Hiro's quarters, Richard still in tow. )

Description: Richard smiles, accepting tzolkins help. He slowly moves to the bed. He tries to hop up.. only to have his feet scratch at the side of the bed.. and slide back down.. he breaths a bit.. then, with more effort, he hops again.. it takes a little effort, but he makes it. He crawls to the center of the bed.. his tired state makes him ignore the more civilised part of him.. and instead of pulling up the covers, he merely curls up like a normal mouse.. on top of the covers, his fur more than warm enough. Resting his head on his hands Ayanna scrambles up onto the bed, curling up next to Richard; Tzolkin jumps up onto the bed afterwards, curling up next to Richard on his other side Richard adjusts a little.. placing his head so that it rests on ayanna, and his tail curls up as to get out of tzolkins way. Then, eyes slowly close.. and Rick goes into deep sleep. Thankfully.. he doesnt snore Ayanna shifts a little to get more comfortable after Rick rests his head on her before falling asleep as well; her breathing becomes deep and even Tzolkin just curls up and falls asleep. Apparently he was tired.

Description: Here we see the Evolution of Ranger. At first ranger was just a study with Vibrant contrasting colors, but he became popular very quickly. After finding out about the "feral" rule towards mice on NimhMuck I decided to make a rat character.. so I searched through my data banks and found ranger. Thus started his career as a NimhMuck Character. When I made ranger I wanted him to be unique, and so many ideas were rushing through my head that I decided to do a few more concepts. These costume concepts came out so well, that I had a hard time choosing which ones to make his final outfit. So.. I said what the hay, and made ranger into a hunter character, someone who uses a wide range of weaponry and outfits.. one for each kind of prey. Then came the problem of relationship.. ranger couldn't just be some random Nimh rat from nowhere.. So I talked to a few people, and low and behold I got a relationship! Ranger became Darla's older brother. Once a Guard rat, he left the Rats of Nimh after Nicodemus's death, going out into the world to find purpose in his life. Ranger came about a cave.. (from here on its a long story of greed, and torture, and death..) to make a long story short, ranger found a lot of rats and snakes in the cave, got trapped for a long time, then killed them all and got out. Now comes tortured ranger.. the one of conflict and remorse. Ranger had been through almost unbearable Physical and Psychological pain for decades it seemed, once he made it out and found his sister still alive.. but sided with his enemies, ranger just about lost it. Ranger spent a long time honing his skills, for the day he would destroy his enemies.. Here's where it all falls apart.. Ranger held his own in combat.. but his sympathy towards darla resulted in violent outbursts of Victor(the old ranger) trying to get out.. and Psychological breakdowns.. this lead to sappy Rp's and breakups in fights.. Ranger also seemed to be straying away from his cold calculative self.. instead becoming a rage filled beast, completely void of any tactic except brute force.. as seen in the rhino armor looking image. SO, I saught Redemtion.. with the help of rapta and balak, I plan to recindle the good old ranger, the dark, brooding, silent killer that has no soul. The Rp has yet to finish, but in it I plan to have Rapta break Ranger, forever ridding him of his sympathetic, and pathetic Victor side. The final result will be what you see as the last image here.. Grim ranger.. No heart, no remorse, no conflict, no consiquence, and no life.. just cold hard calculated evil.. pure unbridled evil... hehe.. in short, the ranger I've always wanted! :) thank you mal!

Description: This is definately my favorite of all ranger's enemies. Balak.. God I just love his design! Balak and Ranger compliment eachother so well in combat, their near equal strength, speed, and agility.. combined with a wealth of knowlege in fighting techniques makes for their battles to be furious, fast paced, and quite a specticle to watch. With Ranger coming down with hard, crisp, staccato sequences, and balak displaying his agility, in high bounds, and raveging ranger with his brute strength. Hehe.. and things get even more intense when they disarm eachother.. and get real down in dirty in hand to hand combat. One of my favorite scenes I've ever had in an Rp was when Ranger and Balak were intertwined, hand to hand, no weapons but their claws. Balak was holding tight on Rangers jaw, one paw trying to rip out his lower jaw.. Ranger was thrusting about in huge muscular explosions! Ranger pumeled Balak's chest with devistating Karate Volies.. using all his strength, but balak didn't go down.. Balak Thrusted Ranger to the ground, but ranger threw out his legs, landing belly first on the ground.. then using all his muscles as one, he Hurled himself back up.. finally convincing balak to let go! hehe.. the fight was very long.. and I dont have the room to put it all in here.. but man, I really want to do another one like that.. it was sooooo cool!

Description: Just felt like drawing a Rapta image I gues. n.n, she's such a cool character, and since I have been doing so many clothing designs for other characters, I thought I should do one for my favorite villianess. This one was very hard.. Mal's design of her was so clean and crisp, and true to the character that I found it very hard to create a design for her that wouldn't feel off base, or false to her personality. After a few google searches I found some leather armor, and then it struck me.. LEATHER! its just corse and flexible enough to really compliment her strong, yet somewhat slithery personality. She attacks people both physically and psycologically.. after a while I just started doing some doodles, added in some patterns as I went along, then looked at all my sketches and compiled them together to create this. I hope you like it mal! :)

Description: Alex's Character, originally a rat, but he later decided to make him a mouse. This was a fun one to do. Me and Alex used a program called OpenCanvas, to work on cornell's design online, and actually be able to see eachother's brush strokes as we drew. Any ways, we went through quite a few concepts.. for a bit he looked good, but seemed to be missing something. That's when I added the coat, and man did that just "fit". When I made this drawing I decided to really go all out with the design, and found some of my favorite celtic knot designs, and incorperated them into his clothes. Cornell is one snazzy dresser if I do say so myself. n.n I really wanted to make the best design I could with Cornell.. I hope Alex likes it, it sure is one of my favorite designs, especially clothing wise, and it was worlds of fun to do! :)

Description: well.. a while back Matthias brought on a character called Santiago. Of course as soon as he showed up, I asked if I could do a pic of him.. well.. I did one, but it got put on the back burner for a while. I was rumeging through some of my old art, and found this, so I colored it and put it on the gallery. I'm not quite sure if I remember all of what matt told me about him, but what I do know is that he had a "Huge sword" and some "spanish influence". In this pic I was going for a mexican cowboy/bandit theme, but whith some honor and a little vanity. Matt had the notion that Santiago might of been Ranger's mentor.. well, I'm still not quite sure where I stand on that subject, but none the less I incorperated it somewhat into his design. But only as a small hint.. Well here he is.. Santiago, the rat with a really, really... REALLY big sword, and I dare not say if he's compinsating for something.. hehe.. might get my head cut off.. ;)

Description: here is part of the RP in which this pic is loosely based upon.. Richard shivers. He lies in a pile of rough straw and grass, down in a shallow hole in the ground. He hasn't eaten in days, and his bony body shows through his fur. He had tried to gather good for the winter, but the cats, and birds had been especially vicious this summer, and the owls preyed in the night.. Their wasn't a day in his life that he didn't fear of loosing it. The stress showed, his lips were chapped, and numerous cuts and scabs covered his body. Huge bags lie under his eyes as he tried desperately to fall into hibernation.. But it wasn't working, the air was too cold, and a blizzard whirled outside, snow bellowing into his small hovel and biting at his body. He couldn't feel his toes any more.. He needed to find another shelter.. One that might be more insulated. He quivered violently, and he sat up.. Looking outside with red puffy eyes. He got up, rapped some hey around his naked body, and grabbed a gold button from the stack, and held it close. Then he marched outside. It was truly a frozen hell. The winds nearly knocked Rick off his feet, and he stumbled and lost grip of the hey. The wind blew through his body, the cold cutting like a knife; snow gripped at his fur, and covered him quickly. Rick tried to shake it off, and kept walking.. Looking for a hole in the ground, or a tree, anything that might provide better shelter. His nose became dry, and his vision blurred. The cold was eating away at him, and his steps became wobbly and uncertain. He couldn't feel his legs or his hands.. His body started to stiffen. He gasped for air that would not come, and the breeze blew to him. The sudden gust, knocked him off his feet, and he landed hard in the snow. Cold took him, and his world spun and blurred, and darkened, he tried to get back up, but the wind threw him back down. He began to grow dim, and his eyes became heavy and drooping. His mouth making gasping movements, but drawing in no air. His fingers and toes curled, as did his back, and he closed his eyes. The snow began to cover his body, burying him half alive, and he could not move.. He was stiff, and cold. And he rolled his eyes to the back of his head, and his mouth stopped moving and fell slack... Hiro walked for a few minutes. Nothing changed. He kept thinking of what to do when he goes home. A nice bowl of soup with all of his cousins. When suddenly, he saw something red. "Hmm, wonder what that is." he thought. He went closer and looked carefully. It was fur. His eyes widened as he saw it. Richard lay stiff, looking lifeless in the snow. His one hand clutched tight on his gold button. His mouth was open, his nose was dry, and his muscles had tightened up. He looked dead for sure. Hiro he looks further. His eyes widened more and more each second until he found out it was a mouse. His jaw dropped as he found the mouse. He tried to take him out of the snow. He dug the snow as fast as he could. The mouse was finally out of the snow. He was so cold, like ice. Hiro had gloves on but he still felt the cold body. He was definitely dead. It was impossible for a mouse to survive in this condition. He felt so sorry for the dead mouse. He held the mouse in his arms. He put the mouse's head closer to his. He looked pretty young. He couldn't just leave the body in the snow now that since he has found it. He decided to take it home and ask what to do to his cousins. Hiro opened the door quietly. No one was in the hallway. He entered the room and felt the warmth of it himself. He sighed deeply. Before he did anything else, he put the mouse on his bed. He put a large blanket on it, as to hide its features. He soon went back to the main room and set a fire. He thought carefully of what he should do next. Ask Simon for what he should do? But he thought for a moment. What is he to do with a body of a dead mouse? Would the other rats tell him to take it away? He sure didn't want to do that. But he didn't want to leave it in his apartment. After all, it is still a dead body. Richard was set on the bed. The warm apt. began to soak into him, his fur brightened, and his toes uncurled. Though still looking quite dead, he began to feel life in him once again. His mouth lays open, and he begins to breath, but it does not show through the blankets

Description: One of the enterences into the courtyard inside the NimhMice colony. I always imagined the courtyard as being in the center.. a place for recreation, food growing, and water supply and such.. as well as a nice small tree to provide the mice with fresh air.. this corridor leads to the engineering/industrial part of the colony, as you can see with the large metal door that seems to be either closing or opening. The light in the forground is part of a control panel for the door.. the light turns on when it is in motion.

Description: This is a pick I did based on an IC RP. Rick was fighting off a large snake.. and loosing. Though Rick bit and sliced at the snake. Rick even dove his dagger into the snakes eye socket.. but eventually the snake smashed rick into the ground.. and began to devour him. Leon, a patroling guard rat spotted this and decided to intervine.. though too late to stop the snake from swallowing Richard, the snake was badly bleeding and Leon was able to slay it with a single strike. He proped his sword in the snakes mouth and dove a hand in after rick.. luckily rick hadn't moved too far down the throat and Leon was able to pull him out. Sadly Rick was badly injured.. not only being partially digested, but the snake had also bitten him on his thigh.. and (under the cloth area) had yanked rick so hard it had given him a compound fracture in his leg. After wards rick was quickly taken back to his house. Hiro was their as well.. and held ricks hand as Leon 'resetted' the bones.. Now you will find rick on the muck with a crutch and splint. Though he doesn't like it.. Leon ordered rick to stay at home and in bed until his leg heals fully.. Hiro and leon help gather seeds and such for rick while he is injured.. despite Ricks protests. ;)

Description: hmm.. where do I begin.. Well this is more of a description of Eloriana.. I picked Elizabeth Brisby for a person to compare with because they are both strong female characters.. and have allot alike, but also are quite different from each other. Eloriana is Rick's mother. I imagined her as a very elegant female, high class all the way. But I also thought she would be one of the original 11.. so she has seen allot. I hate to say it, but she is also kindof like Bianca in that respect, though a little more hard around the edges. Eloriana is the kind of woman that 'turns heads' when she enters a room. Very beutiful, though not quite etherial as she also has a humble mothery way to her. Always ready to help and some might even say.. spunky. She can be quite comical at times, standing up to a large creature, with her hands on her hips and her nose scruntched saying 'ooh ooh you naughty boy.. ' ;) or something like that. The loss of her son has somewhat darkened Eloriana. She still holds out a sparkle of hope that he is still alive.. she can be seen some days sitting in the library for hours, never talking or reading, just staring off into nothing, even sheding a tear now and then. She and Vaspian keep an active relationship, they spend their days working.. Vaspian as a council member, Eloriana as the colony Doctor. Her largest job is as a midwife, and many of the colony females have had Eloriana help deliver their babies. Eloriana and Vapian spend their nights either on the ballroom dance floor, or staying at home and cuddling near the fireplace.. Visually- Eloriana walks on her toes.. never flatfooted, unless she has to. She almost seems to float, her fur is very well kept, and she is one of the few females in the colony to take up the human practice of applying makeup. Her eyes are a deep dark black, and her fur is a silvery white. She usually wears a shall and a dress, with comfortable shoes.. all usually in pastel colors. And despite her age, she is one of the most beutiful females in the colony, and her presence is imediately known when she enters a room. As for the comparison.. Xavier commented that their greatist similarity is Compassion, I have to say.. I agree. But they contrast mainly in how they handle things... Though in some cases I believe they might do the same thing. While Elizabeth usually stays back and watches before she makes a move, Eloriana is the more adventerous type, and often walks bravely into an area, and somewhat blindly.. but she has a good grasp on things, and can handle herself well. I guess that's another difference between them.. self confidence. though mrs. Brisby is perfactly capable of acts of bravery..

Description: Hmm... how to explain this... well I guess I could put it in story form.. It was dark and cold that night, the rain was pouring down in buckets. Eloriana held Jolina close, trying to keep her warm and dry. 'how long mother?' Jolina asked, tossing her bangs from her eyes, Eloriana smiled back, 'oh, just a little longer, then we'll be safe.' she helped Jolina with her bangs, 'and we wont have to move ever again.' Jolina accepted this and smiled back. They were sitting on a large leaf raft, drifting down the stream, it rocked back and forth, the rest of the mice hudled together in the middle, the whole colony gathered for warmth, she glanced at Rasputan, an extremely old looking mouse, he lay in its center. Age seemed to be catching up to him, despite the injections, just last week he lost the use of his legs.. she wondered how they would be able to keep him alive.. if they could. Apart from the group, two mice sat at the edge of the large pile of leaves, one was an older male, his fur was split down the middle, seperated into two shades of grey, Vaspian, her husband. The other was a young mouse, very young. His fur was bright red, with charcole patches forming on his eye, chin and back.. her son, Rick. They sat close, talking to each other, and enjoying the view of the seething water. 'here son.' said Vaspian. He held a gold chain, which itself dangled a gold button. 'What is it?' aksed Rick, as he sat mesmerised by its glittering surface. 'It's gold Richard, 24 carrot.' Vaspian smiled as Rick held out his hands to hold the object, 'It doesn't look like a carrot' replied rick, as he examined the shiny toy. Vaspian managed a chuckle, 'No no, its.. oh never mind.' He huged his son, 'Had it especially made for you, hehe.. the smiths almost had a fit when I asked them too..' He lowered and kissed rick on his forhead, 'Happy birthday son.' 'Watch out!' exclaimed one of the Mice as a huge wave came up and about! Eloriana squeezed tight to her daughter, and looked to Vaspian, 'Honey! look-' and she gasped in horror as the wave smashed into her husband and son. Vaspian was hurled back, he grasped for his son, but found only leaf. The water drenched him, for a moment he couldn't move. Once the water died down he raised himself up, and looked around. 'Man overboard!' yelled a guard mouse. Eloriana whirled about to see her husband, drowning in the water. But she found him grasping onto the leaf, she dashed over to him, throwing away all caution just to be with her love. 'Darling, are you alright!?' she yelled, and her eyes went wide, 'Where's Rick!?' 'mommy!' came a faint voice from the water, Vaspian and Eloriana looked up. Their faces went pale, Eloriana dashed to jump into the water after her son, but Vaspian found enough strength to hold her back from diving into the deadly water. 'My Baby!' she cried, 'Someone save my Baby!' Rick held out a hand as he began to drift from site, 'Daddy! daddy help me.. I can't swim!' mist began to form over Ricks leaf as he made it further and further away.. Vaspian held onto his wife, he tried to call out but shock had put a block of ice in his throat.. all he could do was hold on tight. The mice scampered about, trying to find rope or string.. anything to throw to rick. Jolina stood frozen in fear, her hands clasped over her mussle as she watched her little brother disappear into the darkness. Slowly the mice stoped scampering, and gave up their efforts. Eloriana still stood at the edge, stugling with Vaspian... 'Let me GO! I've got to save my SON!' she screamed, tears rolled down her cheeks, as did Vaspians. With much strugle he choked a response. 'He's- He's gone... he's gone dear.' She tried desperately to tear from his grasp. 'NO, it's not true! We can still save him! We just-' more mice had crowded around her and her husband. Claudia, a brown female stood with her hands on Jolina's shoulders. Her eyes were watery but she made the effort to speak, 'He's gone Eloriana.. their's nothing we can do for him, he's gone.' Finally Eloriana tore from her husbands grasp, her knees refused to support her, and she collapsed. She wailed and cried.. the mice gathered closer and wanted to confort, but they kept some distance. The clouds grew thicker and the darkness grew deeper, and in the night Eloriana cried herself to sleep.

Description: A special injection was given to two experiments.. one mouse one rat. The rat recipient was Brutus, the mouse was Grond. The injection seemed to have the opposite effect with grond, instead of making him tall, it made him smaller. In the mice collony Grond is the only one of the originals to not become an elder, instead he stands infront of the council chamber and opens the gate for the civilians and such. Completely encased in a metal body suit of silver, and a pearl white drapery, the only visible part of Grond are his ears and eyes. Gronds job of opening and closing the gate may seem pointless and uneeded at first.. but he also stands as the last line of defense for the colony. In the event of a catastrophic attack, the remaining colony members, mainly elders, would enclose themselves in the council chamber, and Grond would stay outside and guard the gate. Though he is small, and he is not recognised as a council member, Grond is non the less respected. Only the other originals know of his abilities, and the reason he is encased in that suit. Never do they talk down to him, always greeting him with a bow.. one he returns of course, as they are allowed enterence into the council chamber. The rest of the colony rather greet him with cautiousness, almost as if he might not open the door for just them.. but he always does. No one but the elders know what grond does in his free time.. or where his appartment is for that matter.. very secluded and self relient, grond is not someone to underestimate.

Description: A variety of concepts. Helios sent me a design for a Mouse Shock Trooper.. I liked the idea so much I made my own version.. though it is closely based on his. I worked around with some concepts of introducing metal into their clothing.. like the brushed metal tie, and the different metal hats and such. I wanted to show that the mice had not only mastered mechanical metal work, but also had incorperated it into a sense of beauty and elite status.

Description: Random concepts for male clothing. None of these are particularly job specific. Just some loose concepts on everyday wear.
Submitter: LordDirk
Description: Now these were fun! Here I was thinking.. how could I make something look, elegant, but still hold a unique and yet grounded feel. Then it hit me, how about the mice wear brushed metal headwear. It was an odd concept yes, but I think it fits the mice rather well. The female head-dresses are very elaborate and resemble forms of hair style, he males are basically all the same, with only minor differences. I also worked on creating modern looking cloths, to show how city life had influenced them and to help differ them from the 'Rats' of nimh. I also kept the colors to a minimum, as to follow mal's idea of mostly greys and neutrals.
Submitter: LordDirk
Description: Ah the life of a guard. Here is a concept I did for a guards living quarters, most likely in an outpost building. While the rats have large open passage ways, and elegant wood carving, the mice have close, cold, metal spaces.. complete with luxaries like running water and heat, but with none of the finess that the rats have. Here is the near bare minimum the guards require to live in the out post. This one is probably carved in cement, maybe in the walls of a building or something, so that they can scavange easily and send their spoils back to the colony. I put the guard mouse in their for scale reasons.
Submitter: LordDirk
Description: The revised concept. As you can see, I made the blow gun the staple weapon for the Mice of Nimh. Mice are weaker and sometimes slower than rats, and so they would be easily defeated in close combat. So what did I do, I used mal's blow gun idea, and worked with it. Mice are good at running away, and so if a rat attacked, the guard would simply scamper back to a safe distance and launch a volley of deadly poison darts. As for the design, well... I liked the war war II style I had before, So I kept the arm badges, and trench coat design, I mearly trimed it up a bit. These mice are living in a metal colony, temperature is a huge factor in a place like that, hence why I gave them shoes and thick coats, as to help them battle the elements to a better degree than the rats need to.

Description: A long forgotten Rat. Very big, but not so bright, Ragoko just wants to be loved, but he tends to not know his own strength, and that gets him into trouble. Ragoko has an odd affinaty for mice, which is Ironic because he is almost incapable of physical contact with them, as it usually leads to a broken neck or something of that nature. Not a mean creature by any stretch, in fact one might call him a friendly giant, though not a gentle one.

Description: He fought the creatures of the dark, slaying them by the dozens, his arm was strong and his sword was swift. And he looked upon the slain with glee, then suddenly he beheld his sister Darla as she lay, and he knew her. By an arrow throught the heart, and a cold fury rose in him, a fey mood took him. 'Darla, Darla!' he cried. 'What madness or devilry is this? Death, death, death! Death take you all!' And without council he lunged headlong into the middle of the fray, moving in a graceful balette of death. 'Ride you to ruin and the world ending!" his voice rang clear and calling. He landed on top of his beloved sister, his body a shield, and with a mighty slash, he through the creatures from her body. The creatures sprang and fled, making way for both Ranger and the dark slithery figure that approched. A voice, dark and cold, deep and loud, came from the depths. 'Faithful servant, yet masters bane." It called, and rose itself above the sea of the dead. A white snake, its eyes long since dead to light, it hissed at Ranger. Ranger voice came to answer. 'Begone, foul beast! Go back to the abyss prepared for you! Fall into the nothingness that awaits you and your kind!' A cold voice answered: 'Come not between me and my prey! Or I will not slay thee in thy turn. I will bear thee away to the houses of lamentation, beyond all darkness, where thy flesh shall be devoured, and thy shrivelled mind be left naked to thy own demons.' Rangers sword rang loud as he drew it foward. 'Do what you will; but i will hinder it, if I may.' 'Hinder me? Thou fool. No living creature on this earth can hinder me!' The snake moved into the light and behold! It had a kingly crown. 'Thou fool, this is my hour.' Of all things to be heard a laugh broke the dark, comeing from Ranger as he protected his fallen sister. 'But no living creature am I!' He removed his hood 'You look upon the dead, Ranger am I. You stand between me and my kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch her.'

Rick looked up at her with wondering eyes. She quickly spun about, her hand clenched tight; she raised it high above her head. Rick jumped in his seat, startled by the rats sudden change of appearance. Her muscles tightened, ready to knock this mouse into next week, she paused, her arm unable to move. DO IT! she thought Just get it over with, come on, do it! Her arm still frozen above her head, staring into Ricks big brown eyes. Come on do it! Youve done it before, done worse, come on do it Her eyes blazing with anger What are you going soft? Do it, do it, do it! Finally her arm moved, her fist coming down to crush the mouse. It stopped only inches away from his face, an index finger pointing at his nose. You dont get to touch me! Rapta yelled, Understand? You dont even get to look at me! Her hand now shaking with anger. Listen you little vermin! Ricks eyes widened as her words echoed through the field, her stance verging on explosion. The only, and I mean only reason youre here is to help me! Im a hunter! I dont have time to set up camp, or get fire wood, or any of that other crap! She grabbed Ricks arm, looking straight into his frightened eyes, Thats what youre here for! and with that she flung the mouse into the mud. Now, go get some wood! -Rick got up, the wind knocked out of him, he was now very afraid. What was to become of him, would he survive, and why was this rat being so cruel to him. Rick began limping over to some twigs, his one leg still to week. Oh for the love of- Rapta came stomping over, lifting up Rick with one arm, If youre gonna help me, then youre goona half to walk! She starred deep into his eyes; Rick could almost see her face relax a bit. Here, let me get you some bandage and a crutch. She set him down And I dont want to hear you complaining about it later!

Description: As a guard Ranger could be said to of focused the most on physical training, with the exception of Brutus. After Ranger discovered his purpose he decided to bring his skills to the next level. For years Ranger taught himself the ways of the blade, creating and refining his own style. Not being partial to flare in his combat, Rangers moves can seem simple, but upon closer inspection one can see its a nearly perfect refinement of pure blade accuracy. Rangers tactics overwhelm opponents with seemingly unconnected staccato sequences, making him highly unpredictable in battle. This trait makes for a difficult execution but when mastered can make the wielder virtually untouchable. Ranger style requires the intensity of a normal broadsided attack, but much greater energy since that focus is wielded more broadly. Rangers fighting style draws upon a deeper well of emotion than most combat techniques, yet masters it more fully. The outward bearing of Ranger is one of calm, but the inner pressure verges on explosion. Ranger is much more dangerous at either long range or when being frontally assaulted, but in long drawn out battles he will tactically retreat and wait for his opponent to tire themselves out.

Description: Rapta made her way through the dark grass, the moon lighting her way. Why she had saved this mouse she didn't know, her mind jugling the concept back and forth. She looked down at the small body she held in her arm, still warm, its chest moving up and down as it breathed in its own dark slumber. She noticed the scars, the bruises, the trickle of blood coming from its nose which she had so ruthlessly blugened. For the first time in a long time Rapta fully understood what she had done, she took a moment to gaze back at the flames, still burning, they would not go out until moring. She lay the body on a leaf, she would make camp here for the night and sort all this out in the morning. And so morning came, Rapta awakened to a golden sun, just coming over the horizon. She sat up on the rock which she had temperarily made her bed, looking down into the water, she bent down to take a sip. But as she moved closer her own reflection caught her eye, it had been so long since Rapta had seen herself, the face that stared back was that of anger and pain, she looked away, for some reason she didn't feel like being evil today. "uuugggh" a small whimper came from the leaf, Rick had opened his eyes, their color gone, replaced with a glossy haze. He turned his head slowly, Rapta could see he was still trying to capture his surroundings. Rick began to right himself, only to yell out in pain as his burnt arms refused to hold his wait. Rapta made her way to the small mouse, sitting by his side, she looked at him with curious eyes. The mouse slowly looked back, "Who- who are you." the mouse said, the words feeling strugled. "I'm Dora" replied Rapta, why whenever she was around this mouse did she use that name, a name she hadn't used since her childhood. The mouse pushed a smile, "Hi dora." The words sounding almost childish, "I-I'm Richard, w-what happened?" Rapta couldn't bring herself to answer, "That's not important now" she said, a feeling of warmth returning to her body, she scooped the mouse up with one arm, noticing the odd limpness it had to it, "Lets get you something to eat." and with that she laid him down more comfortably on a root, overlooking the pond.
Submitter: LordDirk
Description: Rick let himself be put on the log, his body soar. Rick couldn't remember where he was or why his body was in so much pain, but seeing this Rat being so kind to him made him feel safe, and that went a long way. He watched as Dora calmly got up and went to go get food. It wasn't long until the dryness in Ricks throat became unbarable, finally he got himself to go and get some water from the pond. Rick braced himself for the pain, placing both arms down firmly behind him he gave a hard push, aparently to hard and he flung himself face first into the dirt, wincing as the shock went through his body, then getting up onto his feet he began to make his way to the pond, limping as one leg refused to hold his weight. Rapta had finished gathering seeds and had made it back to the pond, she stoped abrubtly as she noticed the small mouse limping to the pond, she briskly walked over to him. Scooping him up once again with her free arm. "here, let me get that for you." she set him down on the root, set the seeds aside and got two handfuls of fresh water, she lowered her hands and let the mouse drink up. As she looked at the mouse carefully sipping from her hands, unable to use his own, a shiver came over her body, her stomache twisted and churned, her hands began to shake and she was finding it difficult to hold the water. "Why" she thought "why am I doing this?" but then another side would say "Why, Why did you do that, why did you injure this poor defensless creature?" Finally she could take no more, the water fell from her hands, and she collapsed onto Ricks body, her head on his chest. Tears came Rolling down her cheeks, unable to hold the pain any more, her body trembling as she cried, for the first time in a long time. She held his small body close to her face, feeling its warmth and never wanting to let go. Her tears soaking into his fur, she wailed, and sniffed, her back moving up and down as she took deep breaths and struggled to get her emotions under control. "I am so sorry rick." she said, her voice trembling "oh god, I am so sorry, sorry you had to be put though this." She held him closer, her head still resting on his chest, desperately trying to get sentences in between her cries, "I'm, so Sorry Rick, so sorry, I-I'm a monster, I've always been a monster, oh god what will I do, I'm sorry, oh god I'm sorry!" She continued to tremble, faster and stronger now. Until she felt a small paw rest on her shoulder. Her body subsided, she looked up with red tear filled eyes, meeting with the mouses big brown ones. The mouse made a smile, "I don't think you're a monster."

Description: It was getting dark, Rick could imagine Hiro and Vince were probably setting up camp now. Rick decided now was a good time to do the dishes. Washing pots and pans, and whisling to himself Rick made the time pass quickly. *Thump, Thump* heavy footsteps could be heard coming from the enerence, Ricks ears perked. The curtan flew open, "You really shouldn't leave the door unlocked, this is a bad neighborhood." A large female rat stood before him, a mad look in her eyes, she flew her cape open, reveiling her weapon, "well" she said "Guess I'm having mouse tonight." She sliced her staff through the air, Rick jumped just in the nick of time, the blade whooshing by his feet. Rick dodged again as the rat shifted her wait and brought it crashing down into the floor. Rick, seesed his opportunity and lunged at the Rat, bitting down hard on her left hand. She pulled back her hand, Yelling in anger and pain. "Fine" she said, balling her fists "This is more fun anyway." She Socked Rick with all her might into his temple, Rick squeeked as he was flown across the room, crashing into a chair. The rat smiled "Ha! take that you little. . ." but frowned when she noticed the mouse get back up, "What!?" She lunged again, this time her fist fond its way to Ricks stomache, again Rick flew, and again he got up, this time making his way to the door, "oh no you don't!" Rapta tackled the small mouse, pinning him with one hand on his throat, Rick squirmed frantricly, Rapta let out a laugh "Hahaha, Just the way I like my mice, tender." She raised her fist for the final blow, bringing it hard onto the mouses nose, Rick let out a *gack* as his head was pounded between fist and floor, but he was still alive "How is this possible?" hissed the rat "Don't you ever give up?" she continued to pound his head until it was certain he was uncouncious. She lifted him into the air by his throat, ready to take a bite, but. . .Something in her began to boil, he face contorted to that of pain. What was it, why did something inside tell her this was wrong, why this time? She released the mouse, his body falling limp to the floor, She steped back, holding her head. "No, this is wrong!" she said her mind twisting on itself. "AHHHH!" she yelled as her tail made its way to the fire place. she waved it about franticly, tossing flame every where! Soon the house caught fire, and Rapta decided it was time to go. She walked towards the enterence, but, she stopped, looking back at the little creature she had so ruthlessly pummled. Finally after much debate she grabbed the mouse "No sense in letting good meat go bad" she told herself. It wasn't until she was 5o ft from the fire when Rick half opened his eyes. "uuuuugh, *cough*" moaned rick, blood coming from his mouth. "where am I?" he looked pale "who are you?" The rat paused for a moment, then said "You can call me Dora."

Description: Vince awoke to sweet smell of food. He sat up, resting his back on the oversized pillow. Rick had entered the room, fully dressed and with two bowls in his hands. "Cereal?" Rick offered, "How could I say no?" replied Vince as he graciously accepted the bowl, it smelled of hot wheat, and as he looked closer he could see that honey had been drissled on the top. "eat quickly, I've got a hot bath waiting waiting for you." Vince looked up quizitively, how could a simple field mouse get all these products, An umbrella, a bath, it didn't make sense. But still how could one complaine?
Submitter: LordDirk
Description: Vince felt totally rejuvinated, a hot bath can do that to you. As he dried off, rick entered the clearing and set a large green cloth on a rock, "This is all the cloths I could find, I hope you don't mind it's a little big." "Big?" said Vincent, but as he unfolded the cloth he realized "Oh, big." Vincent finished drying off and started to put on the large green shirt. As he slipped his head through the neck hole he noticed two shapes heading his way, He fumbled to try and get his glasses on with the oversized sleeves getting in the way. "My, my, I swear that shirt can make anyone look good." Said a gruff voice. Vince got his glasses on. The figure on the right was rick, the other he didn't know. A large rat with grey fur and a light grey stripe running from his snout to what it seemed was down his back. The rat wore a blue shirt with bashe buttons, loaded with packs, scrolls, books, and a stylish hat the rat had an explorer look to him. "Vincent, this is Hiro, He'll be helping you get back home." said Rick, the large rat leaned down with an odd gracefulness to him, "A pleasure sir, and how may I adress you, do you prefer Vincent or Vince?" Vince paused for a moment "Either one I guess." "Ah, Variety, I like that in a mouse. So are you dry, clothed, packed? C'mon we haven't got all day." "everything should be in order." said rick. "Good, than we can get going. Oh and Rick, I took the liberty of fixing that paint brush of yours, I left it on the front door step." "Thanks Hiro, well I guess you two had better be on your way." "Right So!" Siad Hiro licking and raising his finger in the air. So Vincent finished putting on his shirt and said his godbyes to rick, and then they were off on their way. "Oh don't worry my little friend." said Hiro as they walked into the horizon, "I'm sure you'll be seeing him again, who knows, I may just be the one to bring him to you."

Rick pushed past a large curtain and walked inside. As vincent entered the hovel a sensation of warmth came over him, the fire had been left to burn, and it still had alot of life left in it. The space was small, but cosy, pots and pans rimmed the root that sprouted over the fireplace, a stump was set as a table, and an assortment of dishes, furniture, and rugs littered the room. "Come in. make youreself at home, I was just about to make some stue" said rick. Vincent being very famished at the time, couldn't argue, and so sitting on the stool, overlooking the fireplace he indeed made himself at home.
Submitter: LordDirk
Description: Vincent after finishing five bowls of stew, almost didn't notice that the chamber pot had been put away and that Rick was sitting next to him, deep in thought and wildly sketching on some paper scraps. "Oh, high." blurted Vincent "uh, this is good soup you make, what's in it?" Rick turned, a smile still on his face, "oh that, that's just pea stew." "Well it's very good, you should think about becoming a chef." The fact of the matter was, the stew wasn't all that great, not bad, but not great, but Vincent had to say something, the amount of selflessness this mouse had shown him still astounded him. "Well, I do try and mix it up now and then." Vincent nodded in agreement, then he went back to noticing the drawings, "so, you're an artist?" "Yeah, I like to draw alot, so I guess you could call me that." replied rick, "I just can't think of any new ideas to draw, I've drawn flowers, cats, humans, grass, leaves, . ." "what about birds?" said Vincent. "hmmm, I've never done birds, maybe I could draw one now, what should it look like?" "Ooh, give it gold feathers and a long beak and. . ." And with that they spent the greater half of the night, talking, laghing, and drawing together. . .
Submitter: LordDirk
Description: ...They were both very tired. After having all that stew, and talking and drawing till midnight, vincent could barely stay standing. "here we go!" said rick as they entered the room. It was the bedroom, a large bed lay in the corner and the walls were painted blue, one window was visible in the top left corner. Rick led Vincent to the bed and let him get in. Vincent pulled the covers up to his chin and layed his head on the large soft pillow. He looked around for the other bed, but found none, in fact he no longer saw rick, he righted himself to get a better look, maybe his glasses were playing tricks on him. But then as he looked down to the side of his bed he found the mouse curled up on the floor, laying on a purple throw rug and using his cloths as a pillow. They were both tired, but why this mouse would deny himself a soft bed without a single complaint made Vincent wonder, but not long, because the blankets were too warm and the pillow too soft, and Vincent quickly found himself in dreamland.

Description: -Vincent sat sniffling in the rain, so cold so wet. He herd footsteps behind him. Suddenly the rain was no longer pelting his body, he looked up to see what large creature could be sheltering him. Instead his gaze met with a much smaller animal, a field mouse, and an odd one at that, with reddish fur and black patches on his eye, chin, and back. The mouse wore a white shirt and a black vest, and in his hand was a most perculiar object, one that was sheilding him from the rain. "what is that?" Vincent asked. "oh this?" replied the mouse "You like it? I call it an Umbrella." Vincent looked at it with amazement, then shaking his head he went back to asking the more important question. "who are you, and why are you doing this?" "Oh, my name is Richard, but you can call me Rick, and I just can't let you sit out in the rain all day, you might catch a cold." Why should he care, thought Vincent, but before he could ask he was lifted to his feet and his arm draped over the mouses shoulder. "C'mon" said the mouse with a grunt "lets get you someplace dry."

Description: The rats in the game have had more exposure to radiation than the mice have. So much in fact that it's been perminantly integrated into their fleshy bodies. You can see the radiation slowly eating away at their form. Higher ranking enemies can cause damage to you over time merely by standing close. They power their weapons with their own body electricity. Some weapons even have neeldles and seringes that dig right into the rat's flesh to extract the valuable charged blood. They are bigger than you, they are faster than you, they are stronger than you, but you have the element of range on your side. Best tactic, keep them at the farthest distance at all costs. Luckily the rats also come in few numbers as opposed to mice.
