I apologize for they're poorly accurate designs. I myself am not too knowledgeable on rats, so they aren't the most realistic things in the universe, but I have tried to keep their colourations mostly natural.
Character archive for my rats, art references can be found below in the replies. Also, their eyes can be drawn as a typical rats eyes, they are just drawn the way they are for laziness's sake.
These references will be prone to being updated since they are fairly new characters.
My most commonly used rat will be Alice, seeing as she has the most developed character.
--------
Name: Alice
Gender: Female
Supporting: Shale
Appearance: A light gray/white rat, face has reddish-brown dots along bridge of nose and under eyes, spots can also be found near her end and tail, one dark reddish-brown splotch near middle of other splotches. Tail is somewhat long. Hole on edge of left ear. Black eyes. A smaller than average rat in size.
Alice is a smaller than average rat. She is rather timid and generally would just prefer to not be a part of anything, but none the less she believes in Shale's ideals, so she sides with him. She doesn't believe those on Blank's side are evil, or anyone for that matter. She's friendly to pretty much everyone once she meets them/gets to know them, and believe that everyone had good in them. She tends to stutter when she's nervous, which is most of the time, but if she's speaking to someone who she deems of great stature, or who she thinks will be annoyed by her stuttering she will try not to stutter. She speaks with a wide/fancy vocabulary, in other words, she uses a lot of big words and uses 'thees' and 'thous' and words such as 'sir' and 'miss'. She has an excellent memory, which allows her to memorize things easily. She tends to keep her front teeth sticking out, out of habit. Despite her timidness, she can be defiant at times, specifically if someone is not respecting those around them.
Her only real ability besides her excellent memory is that she a swift runner. Her size is a great help to that since she is smaller than most, making her lighter.
She is generally tested on how well her memory works.
---------
Name: Aristotle
Gender: Male
Supporting: Shale
Appearance: A dark gray-blue, white throat and a white splotch over right eye. Semi-dark Blue eyes. A larger than average rat in size.
Aristotle is larger than your average rat, but he ain't nothin' but a big ball of optimism and hugs (without the hugs). On that note, he's greatly optimistic, almost to the point where it's annoying. He walks with a limp on his back right leg due to a testing injury. He's on Shale's side. He tries to be that guy who cheers everyone up. Due to being experimented on with electrical pulses and such he has a strong resistance to any electrical shock, and his body can conduct electricity well and has a small amount stored up inside him. This means that in drastic instances he can actually give other things an electrical jolt.
He is tested on with hair products and electrical pulses.
--------------
Name: Graph
Gender: Male
Supporting: Blank
Appearance: Simple light brown fur, scar on left side of mouth. Light pinkish blind eyes. Average in size.
Graph wants nothing more than to watch the humans burn for what they did to him, taking his eyes (He's blind). He takes his anger out on others by annoying them, sometimes even picking fights. Despite his fight picking, he doesn't like killing other rats, believing that the only ones worthy of having him kill them are the humans. He is an extremely fierce fighter and should not be underestimated, he uses his tail a lot like a whip when he fights. He enjoys naps. He is kinder to females than he is to males. Graph tends to smile rather creepily, if he smiles at all. Despite his blindness all his other senses are very acute, making him just as versatile and capable as all other rats. He talks in rhymes. He sides entirely with Blank.
His tests generally have to do with his eyes and his teeth. Testing on his teeth has made them irregularly sharp and gave him his most prominent scar.
------------
Name: Quin
Gender: Female
Supporting: Blank
Appearance: SPECIFICS- Eyes are black, with white rings in them, a small white dot in the middle. Metal plates can be seen where the fur meets the tail. Stitching from top of head to close to the end of the back. Example: fav.me/d56u8vh
Quin is a very violent individual, she loves nothing more than a good fight, which is partially why she joined Blank. The idea of making the humans appeals to her. She doesn't particularly hate the humans because they made her stronger, but she likes making things suffer. Speaking of making her stronger, her eyes have been tested on, making them see in thermal instead of just regularly. He spine has also been replaced by a flexible metal cord, allowing her to twist around in unnatural ways. Due to not being fed for long periods of time, she is slightly cannibalistic, not as much as she used to be, but if you excite her enough she sometimes will revert back to it. Her colouration is a side affect of being chemical tested for a very short period of time, but only briefly, so the only thing affected was her colours and markings.
She is being tested on for her thermal eyes and the effects of having metallic bones, generally just her spine.
