Colonel Benjamin Maus

Colonel Ben Mouse is a digitigrade field mouse, standing about 2 inches tall, not counting his tail. What you can see of his fur is a light brown, fading to a cream color on his tummy. He's an older mouse, greying about the temples and muzzle a little -- you'd suspect he's in his early forties. He has a twinkle in his eyes, creased from the light of different suns, and a quick, infectious smile. His long tail flits about behind him.

He wears a white medical jumpsuit bearing his rank insignia and the microsurgery service patch from his Medical Guild. He carries a small black doctor's bag, and a matte-black antigrav belt about his waist. His feet are bare.

He has done away with the heavy, white bandage that had been about his leg. You can see that he had been severely wounded, his fur just growing back over the scar in a light cream fuzz. The skin and muscle around the wound on the mouse's thigh have been displaced by the pressure of whatever caused the trauma. The mouse will probably always bear the scar of whatever happened.

For formal occasions such as Assembly meetings, Col. Maus attires himself in a more martial style. Let us take a look.

Colonel Benjamin Maus (people often mis-pronounce his last name, perhaps understandably) looks very much like a humanoid field mouse, standing only two inches tall on plantigrade legs. His fur is generally brownish-grey, with a white ruff starting under his chin and running down his throat. Solid black, attentive eyes seem to take in everything as his longish tail flits behind him.

Col. Maus wears the dress uniform of his people's military space services: under a midnight-grey cape clasped with a gold chain is a slate-grey dress coat, with flat epaulets denoting rank. Four gold buttons form a gentle angle from upper right shoulder to inward of his right side. A gloss-black leather belt with a gold buckle encircles his waist, supporting a long scabbard for an epee (rumored by some to be a poison blade). Pressed, slate-grey pants are tucked into polished black-leather knee-boots.
