Mockeries Revisited

These guys are due another look, condensing the previous posts into one usable set of guidelines.

MOCKERIES

• Creatures of wood, felt, and steel given the spark of life.
• They love acting human, but their needs are only imitated.
• Children love them, real animals hate them.

MOCK TALENTS

• Every Mockery has an innate super-human talent for a particular task.
• The talent is often trivial, and rarely put to serious use.
• They are excellent but unconventional teachers of their talent.

EXCEPTIONS

• Mock People are known, but largely despised.
• Mock Objects tend to live in the Underground.
• Some have merged with organic tissue, calling themselves Fallacies: such as the False Angels and False Leviathan.
