Miniature Wars *By Invite Only*

Their own little miniature world...

The mice of Doriant are living their tiny lives in fear. King Kutch has fallen gravely ill, and at such a time... the mice are being ravaged by owls, it's the middle of war. Worse yet, a famine has spread across the land, including the Kingdom (abandoned farm) of Doriant.

The mice had once lived on the first story of the old abandoned farmhouse, but were forced upstairs to the only safe room left. It was once a master bedroom, and is now being reconstructed to become the city and the palace itself.

Outside the farmhouse, things aren't nearly so dangerous. The owls have left the farmers alone for the most part, though none can say why. The food-source is, however, dwindling and the farmers are losing their livestock.

And so the war between owl and mouse is raging, a famine is spreading, and the king is dying. The upside to all of this madness is that the city in the master bedroom has been nearly restored and the knights are fighting with bravery. Welcome to the life of a mouse...

Things to know:
The only way out and in of the city is by the vines by the window on the side of the house. They are facing the barns, field and the pond.
Here, rather than riding horses, the mice ride birds to war and for every-day transportation. Frog-races (in which the mice will actually ride the frogs) are a common public pass-time. These take place on the track inside the barns.
Though the fields are supposedly safe, the mice have switched from above-surface grass nests to below-surface burrows. It can be more difficult to keep track of livestock this way, but it's much better than being eaten.
Inside the master bedroom, the nobels live in the higher places and the commoneres live in the lower places.
The mice still venture from indoors to outdoors, though everybody is issued to stay inside after night falls.

The mice wear clothes, though no pants. Tunics, dresses, capes, robes, ect...

The owls are from the forest that is just outside the barbed-wire fence. (Though there is very little of the fence that is still standing)

Areas:

The Master Bedroom: This is where the major part of the mouse-city is being re-constructed. The castle will be high in the lofts (there is one on either side of the room) and the rafters are to be the halls.
The school for the mouselings is to the left of the fireplace, made of old suitcases that have been sewn together, with holes chewed through them for doors. tables, desks, chairs, all of that school stuff is made of bits and pieces of everything.
The fire-place has been cleaned out, and now has lots of tinier fire-pits for keeping the room warm, cooking, and working with metals (creating weapons, ect)
The rest of the room is odds and ends, nests, houses, ect... Nobels have the higher areas, commoners have the lower.
Under the bed is the downtown area. Markets, little gathering areas, ect...

Spoiler

The Pond: This is where a few "water farmers" live in mouse-constructed "houseboats." They raise fish for food, as well as frogs for sport-riding. The owls rarely harass the mice here.

The Fields: This is where a few "famer" mice work to raise insects. Different types of insects are for different things. Some provide meat, others provide labour that the birds couldn't accomplish, and some provide pets. There is also the frog-racing course here, in a small cleared out area.

Barns: This is a training grounds for the knights, as well as where flying and frog-riding lessons take place. The 'cool' mouslings have a tendancy to hang out here, too.

She's quick witted and doesn't miss a beat and, as she says, is a different kind of mouse. The Rulio kind. And the Rulio Kind doesn't put up with whiners and fakers, and is fast whether she's riding frog or bird. (She prefers bird though.) She's still connected to her past, and is prone to stealing, lying, and smooth talking. She doesn't even think about doing it- she just does.

At that, her right ear has two silver wire loops and an onyx stud, and the end of her tail is pierced with a gold wire loop. Her eyes are different colors in different lights, sometimes looking black, other times dark brown, and occasionally bright blue. Athletic body, subtle muscles.

He's a thrill-seeker who lives for adventure and is always eagerly awaiting his next assignment. He speaks his mind and seems to have no sense of fear of the unkown. In fact, the unkown is something he craves. He has his fears, but he has a tendancy to keep them secret. He avoids talking about his past, and can get defensive if you try and bring it up.

She has a lover for flowers, and when she sees them, she'll pick them, unless she's in fight mode.

Google, Deviantart..um...I can go on but I won't

Name: Bonnie

Age(mouse years): 19

Gender: Female

Personality: A spunky she-mouse, Bonnie takes stable running pretty seriously. She ventures into town in the wee hours of the morning to see what's new for the day. She's friends with almost everyone, and everyone knows who she is, since she's a stable runner. For fun, she sometimes frog races, and almost never wins, but is a good sport about it. She loves taking her steed, Dawn, for rides when she's not needed in the stables. She's fearless, even from owls and hawks, and sneaks out to fight them for fun. She has slain more owls and hawks than that of any other warrior has in their life, and she also has an owl friend. This owl's name is Moon, and she's one of the closest friends Bonnie has. Bonnie doesn't need much sleep, so she's usually up late working, then finds Moon and talks to her. Moon also offers protection for Bonnie, in return for her friendship. No one knows she's friends with an owl.

Appearance (Colour, size, tail-length, ect...):

Spoiler

Rank/Occupation: Stable Runner

Skills: She can calm a bird down when no one else can, and she has a thing with other animals.

Weaknesses: She's a very sensitive mouse, which is why Moon is her only friend. She can be fiercely mean to those who insult her, but Moon knows that, so she forgives.

Up for love: Yep!

Other: Bonnie doesn't wear any clothes. If there's a special occasion, she will, but she knows that the birds think clothes are unnatural, so she doesn't wear them.

Steed's Name: Dawn. She's your average dove, but has a black streak on each wing.

Yeah, what Sakin said Dragonet(: Deviantart, photobucket, tinypic, google, the options are endless really(:

Bonnie

I saw the darkness turn red as light poured in through the window of the room above the stables. I closed my eyes tight, and slowly opened them. The moonlight was tinted blue, the clouds partially blocking it. I sat up, the pine straw crackling beneath me, and yawned. Twitching my whiskers and stretching, I stood up on my hind legs. I looked at myself in a piece of reflective glass I got from the first story. I looked horrible! I fluffed up my cheeks and smoothed down the rest of my fur. Then, I grabbed my sack, a small piece of cloth I used to carry things back in, and quietly hopped out the window. I scampered along the enormously thick entry branch and leaped for the vines that lead into town. Missing the ledge by an inch, my claws dug into the vines and I hauled myself up. Doing a quick once-over, I climbed down on the other side, and took in the sights of the town. There were small huts, and some little holes in the wall. My eyes found the palace, which rested above downtown. It was glorious. Bits of shiny things here and there twinkled on the walls, and the guards blocking it were switching shifts. What it must be like to live there. I couldn't even imagine it. I was a stable runner, for mice's sake! That reminded me: I had to hurry up and get to downtown before the birds woke up! I ran to the edge of the city's roof, and got back on my feet. I took the familiar route, visiting each of the dealers who had something new every day. As I came up an Hen, a girl who sold bird seed, I looked at what she had.
"Hmm..." I said, looking at all the assortments of bags. "I'll take six of the ten paw-full bags. Put it on the stables and have it delivered, please." Hen nodded and gave me a smile. I waved to her, and took off down through the mice and merchants to get back to the stable. On my way out, I bought two berries and a wheat seed. Dawn loved wheat seeds. Sticking them in my sack, I threw it on my back and climbed the vines. I heard the birds chirping for food as I came back. Sighing happily, I went to get some of the seed.

Yep. This was the life.

Chupat ~ I know that, but didn't it take forever to find pictures like that? I mean, I get inpatient after looking for five minutes.

Can you guys take this to a DT thread or a PM?
