Physical Description

Design Note: This race uses the Tiny Player Characters (5e Variant Rule).

Reepicheep from Narnia, Sourced from WikiNarnia

The typical mouse does not actually have huge ears like Jerry. Rather, they have thin small ears on the sides of their heads. Their eyes are small and beady and their body is covered in short fur. All mice have heads that point like a snout and end in a fleshy nose and whiskers. Some have buckteeth. Mice are well known for their naked tails which resemble worms. Their bodies are pellet-shaped, lacking a distinct waist or hips. Their hands and feet are naked paws. They have prehensile hands to hold a sword fitting their size.

Origin

Mice were originally simple creatures that lived as all animals did. They survived and lived without much thought. Gods did not exist to them and they showed reverence for anything but their own satisfied bellies. One day, under a storm, did they finally raise their heads. Amidst the horrific tempest, they discovered the power of God. Aslan, the guiding light of the world, granted them enlightened minds and sheltered them from the storm. From him, they learned of speech, chivalry, sword fighting and many other civilized aspects. They pledged their lives for the king and so became his knights.

Disposition

Mice tend to appear quite chivalrous, as Aslan had taught them. However, this is only an act. They know their size is ridiculous and ridiculed and so they fear no underhanded tactic. One would be surprised of their repertoire in battle. A mouse may challenge someone to a duel, but the moment they turn their back they would make their attack. This trickery is what has allowed their species to survive as long as they have. They are descended from the mice of old that lived in the walls of houses and in the grass of fields. They have no empire to call their own, though you can come across the occasional mice village... if you don't accidentally trample it first.
