My Characters:
Name: Crusher
Age: 20 Years Old
Gender: Male
Species: Tyrannosaurus rex
Length: 55 ft
Height: 20.5 ft
Weight: 14 tons
Personality: There was a time when Crusher was playful, cheerful, innocent and blissful. That all ended when he lost his family however. On the surface he seems to have recovered from the incident that forged him, though beneath the surface he still carries the weight of his family's deaths. As he's matured he's developed the calm, cool headed focus that made his father such a powerful fighter, and even when in a state of rage, he somehow maintains enough of a level head to pull off surprisingly strategic manoeuvres in fights. his friendship with Darkness helped him cope with the tragedy, but it still haunts him on occasion. He still occasionally suffers insomnia, and fits of intense rage are becoming a notable trait of his when provoked. It has been noticed that he has a tendency to be extremely persistent, and if beaten down, he WILL get up for more. He once held a fierce loyalty for his friend Darkness, and would defend him to the death if need be, though they gradually drifted apart over the years as Crusher grew older, and now it has been well over a year since the two have seen eachother or spoken...
Description:
He has a light beige underside with light chocolate brown covering the rest of his body. A tan coloured line goes down his sides, separating his brown flanks from the thick, dark grey line extending down the length of his back. Decorating his flanks and separating his stripes, are blotches of dark brown outlined by tan rings. When enraged, his colours change, the tan turning creamy yellow, the light beige underside to a very pale off-white colour, the brown becoming darker and richer, as well as the thick dark grey line on his back turning a deeper shade of pure black. His eyes are normally a rich golden shade, with a faint red ring around the edges of his pupils. A genetic oddity resulted in that shade changing depending on his mood. the red ring expands as his mood sours, until it dominates his eyes entirely, turning them an eerie, glimmering shade of red when he is infuriated. Having grown to his full size [and beyond, thanks to his exposure to the tainted liquids of InGen's gene vats by way of the creatures he's eaten], he's become a very lethal predator. His jaws are filled with thick, bone shattering fangs, and the serrated edges seem to be quite a bit more jagged than normal for a Rex. As with some other more developed Rexes, Crusher has a host of bacteria in his jaws, meaning that when enraged, it is wise to avoid him, lest his ferocious attacks doom the victim through infection, blood loss and shattered limbs.
Name: Ripper
Age: 43 Years Old
Gender: Male
Species: Velociraptor mongoliensis
Length: 11 feet
Height: 4 feet
Weight: 140 pounds
Personality: Calm, calculating, clever and cunning. He is one of the only survivors of the original breakout that ended in Sorna's abandonment. He lost track of his packmates during the break out, and the scents were utterly obliterated by the gunfire and smoke. He has spent the last 41 years trying to find his packmates, and from time to time picks up faint traces of them, but so far, his search has failed to bare fruit. His knowledge of the Island is as close to absolute as is possible, knowing just about every inch of the island like the back of his hand. Being one of the very first batch of Raptors, he also lacks the inhibitions his later brethren were hindered with, being capable of running faster and longer, jumping higher, thinking more effectively and even communicating in ways no other Raptor can match naturally. The years of extensive exploration and searching, as well as his constant fight for survival, have molded him into a creature unrivalled across the island. He's the oldest creature on Sorna, and arguably the most powerful in his size range. Despite being a fair amount older than most other Raptors on the island, he is far from hindered by it, the Raptor still in his prime. His senses have been sharpened to a razor edge over the years, resulting in his knack for detecting things long before anyone else even realises their presence. One of his most notable traits is his ability to remain hidden, almost never being discovered until he shows himself. A loner at heart, he lives alone in the Main InGen Genetics lab on Sorna, claiming it as his only home. With little to hinder him besides his past, Ripper, The 'Elder' is a creature few ever see, and even fewer live to tell about.
Description:
A thick black band runs along his back from nose to tail, bleeding into shark-fin shaped stripes covering his whole body. a reddish brown shade covers his flanks, with a tan underside contrasting with the black stripes and the dark reddish brown colour on his flanks. His eyes are a rich, almost gem-like amber colour, his claws pure black, and his head boasting a set of short, black, light blue tipped quills which are actually appearing as he ages, rather than as a result of mutation. This is possibly because of the lack of adjustment in the first Raptors on Sorna, meaning Ripper is as close to a Pure Raptor as can be found on the island. He has abilities that would stun even mutants. speed being one of his strong points, being faster than any known Raptor, and capable of jumping extraordinary heights. Combined, he's almost unstoppable. He roams the island in search for his lost packmates, while also watching the other inhabitants of the island live their lives, meaning he's become very highly educated in the goings on across the island. If anyone could tell you what's going on, where, when, why and how, it'd be Ripper. However, these traits are so startling to the average bystander that Ripper is, for the most part, a myth. No Dinosaur on the island knows if he truly exists, or if he is just a story made up by adults to their hatchlings to distract them from the harsh reality of the island...
Name: Thrasher
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Species: Spinosaurus aegypticus
Length: 65 feet
Height: 26.65 feet
Weight: 16 tons
Description:
A heavily mutated Spinosaurus with green-grey scales, with large crocodilian osteoderms covering his head, neck, shoulders, back and tail. his flanks have green and blue mottled wisp patterns that resemble the reflection of water on a solid surface, the colours resulting in what looks like a diorama of a forest, green light tinting the backdrop, resulting in such effective camouflage that most creatures wouldn't seem him standing there unless they were looking for him. the fin compliments this camouflage, though the light greens and blues that streak through it are, during fights and other shows of dominance, overwhelmed by a reddened orange saw-like pattern arcing with the fin, the middle of this pattern decorated with a row of black angular patterns seeming to sweep back. his snout is unusually thick for a Spinosaur, the mutation having seemingly bulked up the skull to handle greater stress than most Spinosaurs could dream of. combined with jagged rows of large, spear-like teeth, his jaws are significantly more dangerous than those of your average Spinosaur. spike-like quills spout in 3 rows starting at the base of his skull, though the two smaller rows alongside the central one shrink to the point they disappear halfway down the neck. the central one continues along to the base of the neck, becoming thinner and sharper as the fin begins, the spikes ending with the fin. his underside is tan, made up of crocodilian scales. an odd skin mutation has resulted in a peculiar trait when recovering from injuries. While the Spinosaur is covered in scars, his skin grows new layers over them, making him seem almost free of injury, even in spite of the fact the scars are still present below the surface...
Personality: Thrasher is a malevolent creature, dominated by a lust for power and a disregard of the lives of others. he is a firm believer in the term 'the ends justify the means', and isn't afraid to get his claws dirty if it will achieve a satisfactory goal. Though some of his allies may not enjoy his personality, most agree that he's better than the alternatives. the price to be paid for finally gaining the respect and fear of the other species of super-predators on the island. This reputation was not born from nothing however. Thrasher has proven himself a cruel foe several times, and is not above torturous brutality to maintain the aura of terror that surrounds him and those he counts among his allies. He strives to give future generations of his kind a life better than that of his and previous generations, and has put his life on the line more than once to protect the lives of his future offspring and those of his brethren. He is almost dangerously direct with his opinions, and will take whatever action he feels is needed to keep things positive for his kind. such was the reason for his decision of slaughtering his own father, fearing that in his age he was becoming soft, and fearing the result of the other superpredators learning that the Terror of Sorna was really a weak, somewhat cowardly elder Spinosaur who'd long lost his will to fight for his beliefs. He has subsequently won the title of most dominant predator, and has every intention of keeping it, having lost faith in the ability of anyone else to hold that title after seeing his own father's weakness...
Name: Blade
Age: 8 years old
Species: Allosaurus fragilis
Gender: Male
Length: 15 feet
Height: 4.5 feet
Weight: 825 KGs
Personality: A curious creature by nature, Blade has a knack for getting into trouble and annoying those around him, though that translates to an excellent playmate, making him a popular companion as he and the other juveniles in the pack grow. his skull is unusually thick for an Allosaur, and he is known for being a painful headbutting opponent. This has made him a dangerous opponent to fight to smaller animals, and even similar sized foes have trouble facing him. highly agile on his feet, Blade takes pleasure in using his speed and agility to corner prey, and it is not unusual for him to almost literally 'dance' around his prey, moving around them in circles to scare them into making a mistake that could save him effort. he tries his best to fit in, and for the most part has overcome the alienation the pack aimed at him and his mother in the past. the means through which he did so has forged him into something of an attention seeker, sometimes gaining it in negative ways, caring only that he has their attention, instead of being shunned. He is a close friend to Alira and Cirrus, and is always closeby whenever the two decide to go on a little 'adventure'. Blade is brave to the point of recklessness, but tends to panic when faced with sudden changes in situations. he holds friends dear, but dislikes the hostility between some of them, usually staying quiet to avoid further alienation, unless things become too severe, in which case he stands with whichever he feels is right.
Appearance:
Name: Aurora
Age: 27
Species: Allosaurus fragilis
Gender: Female
Length: 32 feet
Height: 9.5 feet
Weight: 2 tons
Personality: Optimistic though realistic, energetic yet calm, enthusiastic yet refined. Aurora is a creature of moderation above all else, and has always been one to make her own future. she holds herself with pride, yet doesn't see herself above others. her history is not something she shares easily, and she always seems to be thinking deeply of something, regardless of the situation, giving her an air of mystery. she's always been a bit too worried about what others think, a trait that has only become more severe as she experienced the hardships of life alone. Living with Xanthe's pack for the last 8 years has reforged much of her confidence, and now she acts as a voice of wisdom to the younger Allosaurs. In spite of that, however, she is never one to miss out on a bit of fun, and has a light, gentle, playful temperment that makes others gravitate towards her; a feature that was buried by her own fear when she first arrived. Subsequently, unlike most of the adults, she can sometimes be found joining in on the fun of the sub adults, and even tends to joke and tease on occasion. Anyone looking her can tell Blade is everything to her. Whenever she is not distracted by the other pack members, one will find her gaze lingering proudly on her son.
Appearance: Very dark navy blue, with a light grey-blue underside streaking upwards along her flanks. her brow crests are a light grey blue, gaining a dark red tint when threatened or angered. she has dark amethyst-coloured eyes that seem to have an unnatural depth to them, which only further adds to the mystery that surrounds her personality...
Name: Rook
Age: 38 Years Old
Gender: Male
Species: Giganotosaurus carolinii
Length: 58.3 ft
Height: 16.3 ft
weight: 10 tons
Personality: calm, irritable when hungry. pleasant with most who speak to him, though he keeps a neutral, though somewhat negative attitude towards Spinosaurs and Rexes. He has his own sense of justice, though his point of view tends to bias this sense. He is one who knows what it feels like to have lost almost everything, making him a creature whose realistic, somewhat pessimistic view on the world can sometiems upset those around him with a brighter outlook on life. An older Giganotosaurus with a history that reaches back to a time before Thrasher or Spectre held the position of the most dominant predator, it is little wonder that his mood is one of pessimism and gloom. Once, he was known for being both a ruthless opponent and a great ally, though his reputation, name and position amongst the creatures of Sorna fell into obscurity after being ousted by the younger, more energetic young Spectre, whose relentless stamina allowed him to outfight the Giga. Since then he has drifted, carrying bitter feelings for both Rexes and Spinosaurs. Now he usually avoids them, not wanting to be reminded of his past and preferring to live out life peacefully. but his own sense of justice still drives him to do things outside of his usual habits from time to time. he has had several mates throughout his life, and several of the younger Gigas around the island can trace their lineage back to him. Though he has long since written off his chance at regaining his position as the Most Dominant Predator, he still yearns for the respect he once had, and will not hesitate to crush those who look down on him if he sees an opportunity.
Description: A Dark chocolate brown Giga with a thick blue-grey stripe running down his back, stretching from his head to his tail, bleeding out into thick stripes along his flank that meet up just above his lighter brown underside, making the brown flanks appear to be blotched, helping to break his outline in the trees. his camouflage serves well, as the blue grey stripes take on a greenish tinge in the trees, and his brown flanks' flecks of lighter brown help disguise him as part of the trees themselves, the dark brown resembling tree trunks while the light brown resembles moss and lichen as a result of the green shade of the canopy. his body is heavily battle-scarred, with 5 different sets of deep 3-clawed slashes covering his head. from his shoulder up to his spine, several somewhat deep scars can be seen, arranged close together, from where a Rex had tried to bite through his spine in a fight. The Giga has golden orange eyes that shimmer when the light hits them at certain angles.
Name: Fatalis
Age: 18
Species: Velociraptor mongoliensis
Gender: Male
Length: 8 Feet
Height: 4.5 Feet
Weight: 90 Pounds
Appearance:
Personality: Wild, Hyperactive and untamed, Fatalis is the ultimate Adrenaline junkie. He lives for the thrill, be it of the hunt, or the escape from whatever infuriated creature happens to be tearing after him fangs bared. Despite the wisdom that one would assume would come with years, the fear of death hasn't quite sunk in yet. Or at least, it doesn't seem to have. If anything, Fatalis actually looks for danger to satisfy his thrill seeking needs. Beneath the seemingly spontaneous, violently unpredictable surface however, Fatalis is sharp minded, and has a keen eye for his surroundings, constantly thinking about what he can use of his surroundings as a weapon or means of escape if needed. A hunting disaster left him packless when he was 2 years old, and he has since roamed the island as a loner; a fact he exploits as much as possible...
History: All hunters live with danger. It's an occupational hazard that all accept. But few know of it as well as Fatalis. At the age of two his pack were faced with starvation. As a pack with no set territory, caught amidst the chaos of a wave of Territorial fights and unrest in the aftermath of the fall of a large pack of Rexes, They were driven to roam nearly constantly. As a consequence they had stumbled into a territorial death trap. Caught in the crossfire of 3 different packs of Raptors meant they were constantly harassed, unable to score a decent kill without a raiding party tearing in and driving them off, or ruining the hunt. The desperation mounted gradually, culminating in a Gallimimus hunt. The majority of the pack had gone forward to bring down at least a couple of Gallimimus, deciding that only numbers could protect them from the three other packs attempting to kill them off or drive them out; the latter of which turned out being impossible due to the fact they were completely surrounded by the packs.
The plan initially started off perfectly. three of the 12-strong hunting group would draw the attention of the herd, while the other 9 waited in ambush. But just as the pack prepared to spring the trap on four Gallimimus that were separated from the group, disaster struck in the form of a Raiding party tearing out to the side of the main herd, cutting them off and redirecting them towards the four stragglers just as the entirety of the pack swooped down to kill the prey they had targeted. The outcome saw nearly the entire pack trampled to death by over 150 terrified Gallimimus, The Raiding Party moving in soon after the dust had settled to finish off any survivors. Though by the time they had reached where Fatalis had been, he was long gone, his scent thrown off by the smell of dust and his packmates' bleeding, broken corpses...
Name: Erebus
Age: 41 years
Gender: Male
Species: Triceratops horridus
Length: 40 feet long
Height: 13.5 feet tall
Weight: 10 tons
Description: dark grey skin all over, closer to black on his back, with numerous oval orange spots dotting his sides, though in organised lines going from the base of his neck to the tip of his tail, changing size depending on it's position on his body. the area around the edge of the frill is a rich orange colour with almost ocelot-like black markings lining it. his head is dotted in cuts and scars, most notable of which is the jagged scar on his left cheek, and a jagged scar going over his right eye, curving towards his beak under the eye. the horns start off a faint greyish ivory colour, but turn black near the tip, partially natural and partially due to the frequent coatings of blood the horns get when something crosses his path. he has icy silver eyes which are alarmingly intense by any herbivore's standards.
http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g198/ ... usISSR.png
Personality: a calm, calculating herbivore, he has been known for being utterly unshockable. he takes a painfully logical approach towards problems. He is frequently found in a generally irritable attitude, and is known to lose his temper when faced with a predator that doesn't give him a wide berth. he also almost never forgets kindness or hurt caused by others, and is surprisingly cunning, manipulative and ruthless to those who do him wrong. during his life in a herd he earned a reputation for being a powerful, loyal ally, willing to do whatever it took to help a friend, but that side was equalled by his reputation as a fearsome enemy, not to be crossed. His age has done little to improve that, and day by day, he seems to get more and more bitter and irritable, to the point that the story 'An irritable Triceratops killed an innocent bystander' has become a common one across the island.
History: Erebus and his brother, Amicus, used to be the two leaders of a small herd of Triceratops back on Sorna, alongside their father, Patris, and elder brother, Brutus. one day, about 28 years ago, they were attacked by a pack of Giganotosaurs looking for a meal. it was a large pack, and their size easily scared the northern-set herd into a stampede. Erebus and Amicus had been at the head of the herd, with their families close behind. Erebus, Amicus, Brutus and Patris had told the family to lead the herd away while they held off the predators for as long as they could. however, in the panic, the family which was leading the herd became disorientated and ended up looming over the edge of a cliff. although the family managed to avoid falling, they had become trapped. Meanwhile, Brutus and Patris had lost their lives to the leaders of the Giga pack after a vicious struggle that left both Gigas wounded, and a number of other Gigas had managed to go around them and pursued the escaping herd. the frightened herd faced them, but backed away, knocking several Trikes off the edge of the cliff, the brothers' family among them, the survivors not having the strength to fight off the incoming gigas and soon getting killed. after the chaos ended, Erebus and Amicus were left distraught at the loss of their family and herd, being the only two survivors of the ordeal. enraged, they decided that vengeance was in order. over a series of several months, almost the entire Giga pack was killed off one by one by the vengeful brothers until only the leader remained. they then led the infuriated Giga to the same cliff, and, using teamwork, reversed their positions so that the Giga was on the edge. with a joint charge, they forced the Giga off the edge, plummeting to it's death among the numerous Triceratops corpses, though Amicus was dragged down with it in a final act of defiance, to the utter horror of Erebus. the sole survivor now bares numerous scars; permanent reminders of the horrible past he carries...
Name: Hellfire
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Species: Deinonychus anthirropus
Length: 15 feet
Height: 7 feet
weight: 164.5 pounds/74.6 KGs
Personality: An inquisitive creature by design, he has never grown out of the habit of exploring for the sake of exploring. He is completely consumed in curiosity over an elder Velociraptor whose name sums up the extent of his knowledge for. A display of power and skill several months ago captivated him, and he has since been doing his utmost to find out more about the mysterious elder; much to said elder's amusement. His sense of humour is dark and occasionally cruel; the side effect of a difficult life. He is one of the few outstanding members of his species, being markedly different from them in both appearance and lifestyle. Mutation has gripped him, morphing him into something quite a bit larger than a normal Deinonychus. Standing at 7 feet tall and 15 feet long, he is large compared to most Deinonychus, and yet has learned enough in his life to know how to work around that, maintaining the skills most of his kind have, though admittedly not as proficient in them, and also managing to use his size to his advantage. He has a tendency to flaunt his skills when he knows he holds the advantage, and his attitude and pride led to his banishment from his family's pack several years ago. They soon came to regret that action, as the Deinonychus, in vengeance, turned the herd of herbivores they had been hunting just before back onto the pack, decimating most of them, killing several of his own family, his father amongst them. It sums up very well the kind of creature Hellfire has become. Uncaring, perhaps even unbothered by the consequences of his own actions, he walks through life looking through a very different lense to that of the island's other denizens. It is rather more simple, and quite a bit more amusing, than the alternative. And on the rare occasions he thinks about it, it's usually a quick and brief consideration that invariably results in him inwardly laughing at the miserable creatures that share the island with him. Sometimes even audibly so...
Description: A black raptor with orange eyes, and thin black slitted pupils. Along his sides are thick speckled patterns that look like they're made of fire embers, the orange and yellow patches on his sides making him perfect at camouflage, losing their vibrance in the green light of the trees, or in the darkness of night. On his head is a fin of quills, orange at the tip and black at the base, that reaches to a full length of about 6 inches at the top of the tallest quill, disappearing between his shoulders before appearing again and flaring up to 8 inches in a set of 15 quills on his tail.
Name: Rake
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Species: Irritator challengeri
Length: 28 feet
Height: 8.75 feet
Weight: 3.667 tons
Description: A heavily battle-scarred Irritator that has seen better days. his flanks are covered in scars, and lack the lustre that younger, less battered Irritators sport. Jagged, spear-like fangs protrude from black, striped jaws, interlocking perfectly and protruding a fair ways past that, making for a very intimidating position for anything at risk of coming into contact with them. Halfway up its snout, rich blue and black patterns fill the dips in its skull beneath which jaw muscles run, the black forming jagged outlines to the blue spots. a pale, tan-coloured nasal crest rises proudly along the top of his skull like a small fin, prominent as a result of age. Behind that, his brows are mottled with what look like shards of rich turquoise, circling his eyes, which glimmer a dangerous shade of red-orange, slitted pupils adding to the Spinosaurid's sinister visage. One of his toes is missing; the result of a run in with a crocodile when he was younger, and a chunk has been bitten out of the ventral surface of his tail as a result of the same incident, though it has healed over well despite the notable dent in it. His hide is a dark green, streaks of black and paler greens lining his flanks, the palest points at the edges of the stripes seeming to dip into the mint or cyan in places. His fin is thick, lined with powerful back muscles, decorated with rich hues of green and turquoise, cored by a black stripe. Around the paler hues, a dark, nearly-black shade of green dominates. Surprisingly, the Irritator's spine has suffered little damage. Beneath the colours however, powerful muscles mean this beast could generate a shocking amount of power should it need to.
Personality: Malevolent, cruel and treacherous would describe Rake well. They are the traits that brought him up to the position he's reached so far, as without them, he would never have gained Thrasher's interest. He shows systematic, ruthless efficiency in all he does, and will silence any and all that hinder his plans. As Thrasher's primary messenger and easily the most well informed creature under his command, Rake gets more than a few benefits and freedoms, including, among others, commanding other, normally more powerful creatures in Thrasher's ring of allies and subordinates to take action where he himself cannot. This means that when something aside from prey is killed, odds are it's Rake's word that led to its execution.
, But with several cuts and scars all over his body. A bit of his tail is also bitten off, a wound he recieved from another Deinosuchus...
