Cult of the Mouse
Slogan: “Hey, kids! You wanna' buy something?”
Agenda: The Cult of the Mouse is benign toward children, less so to toward adults of any species that are not found among the membership. Their only obvious goal to date is to help its members survive and thrive, with the unspoken goal of increasing the size of their stronghold.
Behavior: Members of the CotM prefer to spend their days laughing, singing, playing pranks and having a good time. They especially love trading and selling, and the sheer number of shops in the fortification will astound any that see it. Trade Caravans are always welcome, provided that one of the Membership species is included.
Background: The Cult of the Mouse is based out of Orlando Florida, where they possess a large military compound. In one dimension before the Big Mistake, this location was an amusement park that was popular throughout the country. In another, the area was a complex dedicated to furthering the goals of the Great American Empire. When the Big Mistake took place, both locations fused into one (as did almost all of the inhabitants, which killed them instantly). When the dust settled, the complex was empty aside from deadly combat robots in the form of lovable cartoon characters. Nearly one hundred years later, a colony of mutated mice discovered it. They were seconds away from being vaporized when the Control Brain recognized that many of them appeared to look like the images of the Master Mouse that were plastered everywhere. They were taken into the base and treated by the robots as saviors.
Organization: The CotM is commanded by a mutant mouse named Winifred (called Wini by her friends). She is known as the SubMaster. Below her is a council made up of various mutant animals (duck, dog, lion, pig, bear, cat, rabbit and donkey). Any mutant animal is able to join the CotM, but only animals represented by those on the council have the right to vote on various measures that affect the entire group and are considered citizens. All members are expected to defend the base if required, no matter their citizenship status.
Conflict: The Ranks of the Fit, The Created, Zoopremists, Knights of Genetic Purity and the Iron Society have all attacked the CotM at one time or another. While the aims of some of these groups don't differ too far from the Cult, the compound is an incredibly tempting and desirable target. Many of the original robot characters are still functional and quite deadly, armed with a variety of Omega Tech weaponry. There is a manufacturing plant deep underground as well, and all members are assigned a laser rifle, laser pistol, combat knife and breastplate. All of these items are prominently emblazoned with the sacred image of the Master Mouse and are painted in bright and gaudy colors.
