Gnomes

Gnomes resemble smaller humans, but with large animal like ears, ranging from rabbit and fox like ears for Forrest Gnomes and wolf and llama like ears for Hill Gnomes. Gnomes tend to be clever and handy with technology, and many are inventors extrodinare. They are one of the core races that make up the Clockwork Empire, with many finding themselves working as inventors within that technology based society, although Forrest Gnomes oft find themselves feeling stifled by the dense city.

Gnomes were created in part as an experiment by Rain to determine the strength and durability of soul data within a biological host, but the gnomes quickly surpassed Rains expectations and many became lab assistants to her rather than lab rats.
