Moles

A mole without a class. Tragic.

Magic Magic

Moles are a class-based society living underground in Rodent World.

Most moles reside in ClownTown and rarely come above ground.

They are presided over by the High Mole Court.

Yes, we know they're not *technically* rodents.

## Anatomy

Moles have smooth, round heads and long whiskerless noses. They have clawed feet, which are sometimes covered by shoes out of self consciousness. Despite their real life counterparts, they have no hands.

## Class Pyramid

Mole society exists through classes. At the age of 6, each mole child is forcefully inducted into a trade school for a class that they will become for the rest of their lives.

Rarely do moles get to choose their class; rather they are merely born into the same one as their parents, and thus inherit their family's hierarchy in the caste system.

## **Mimes**

Mimes are the rarest of all mole classes and are the most powerful. Moles of this class possess **Mime Magic**, the innate performing ability to will just about anything into existence (denoted with dashed lines). The illusion of their creation is maintained as long as the mime's audience believes the performance, otherwise the creation fades away. Mime creations can be used by other moles if the Mime allows them to.

Mimes are the only moles that cannot speak, and many moles unknowingly ignore them.

## **Jesters**

Jester moles are the High Mole Court's preferred entertainers. These moles are clever and nimble, able to perform complex acrobatics with ease. They hate Harlequins and see them as rivals, but due to how similar they both dress they often mistake one of their own for a "treacherous" Harlequin.

## **Harlequins**

Harlequins are essentially on the same level as Jesters, with very few differences. The stars on their hats are a reflection of their vanity and belief in superiority over other moles.

Harlequins and Jesters have mostly recovered from a civil war between the two in 1891, but the hatred and prejudice amongst them still remains.

## **Magicians**

Magician moles are the self-proclaimed "most mysterious" moles. They possess the ability of **Magic Magic**, which is different than **Mime Magic**. They can store almost anything in their hats and make things disappear, as well as disappearing themselves. Magicians are usually used for grunt work, transporting goods and turning materials into other things (i.e. steel into minecarts).

## **Bards**

Bards are the only moles able to play musical instruments. All Bards play this song throughout ClownTown, providing music to the kingdom. Each Bard plays a different medieval instrument.

Bards have the ability to use their powers maliciously, as their **Bard Music** can be used to entice others into whatever they wish by putting them into a trance.

## **Clowns**

Clown moles are the lowest on the caste system, considered "peasants" by the other moles. They are the working class moles and the primary inhabitants of the **Mymes** alongside prisoners.

Sadly, Clown moles seem to be laughed at for their appearance and social status rather than their performances, but it makes them happy nonetheless.

## The Mymes

The **Mymes** are the underground mines in ClownTown. They are used to extract **Rodentanium**, the ore used as an energy source to power the machines of Mice and almost everything in Rodent World. The **Mymes** hold prisoners and regular workers, and they all use pickaxes made from **Mime Magic** due to a lack of hands.

When a mole is either classless (considered treason to the Kingdom) or boring (since mole society is founded on entertainment), they are thrown into a Mime jail until they are put on trial and sentenced to a minimum of 5 years in the **Mymes** by the Mime King. Their extracted **Rodentanium** is then refined by Clowns and exported throughout Rodent World.
