Fandom Jurassic Park: Troubled Coast -Open-

Manio

From Gallifrey with love.

Rb7ApQS.png



The year is 2015 and the Masrani Corporation have been raking in the money with their highly successful theme park, Jurassic Park on Isla Nublar. Tens of thousands of visitors visit per-day to see their prehistoric attractions. However, over the last two years Masrani had worked out a deal with the Costa Rican government to allow a cruise-ship of their own making to to do tours around Site B, Isla Sorna with the only restriction of not being allowed to dock or get within a certain distance of the island.


The cruise-ship known as "The Paleozoic" was a top of the line cruise-liner filled with state of the art gadgets and software. Unlike most cruises in the world, the Paleozoic didn't cater to people with massive wallets and sources of income, as per John Hammond's original vision with Jurassic Park, everyone in the world had the right to see these animals with tickets costing no more than two hundred dollars per-person with certain packages for families, groups, you name it.


During a routine cruise around the exterior of the island, a massive storm begins to brew but the crew and passengers don't seem to care as the ship was built to handle tropical storms like this one. However, something seems to go wrong beneath the deck of the ship and within mere minutes the ship is soon sinking below the depths of the oceans and most of the passengers & crew are killed in the accident.


However, a small-group of passengers survive the ordeal and wash up on the beach of Isla Sorna...

Rules

- No god-modding. You're dealing with dinosaurs after all.

- There are no weapons, and any weapons left on the island are most likely broken as the island hasn't seen human life since 1997. They will not work, don't try.

- No sexual content.

- No bullying, racism, or any bigoted behavior.

- Posts must be written properly. Try and limit the spelling, and grammatical errors.

- Minimum of one paragraph posts, with at-least five sentences.

- No double-posting unless stated otherwise. Everyone will take turns writing their posts. If someone doesn't reply within a set period of time, the post order will refresh and start anew.

- You have no knowledge of Site B as no-one has set foot on it since 1997. Everyone

is thrust into unfamiliar territory.

- I shall be controlling all dinosaurs, NPCs, etc.

- Two characters maximum per roleplayer, just in case one of your people is killed off.

- If you want one of your people killed off, PM me on the forums and we can work something out.

- This roleplay does have an end-point, and will not go on forever.

- Try and have fun!

[QUOTE="The Doorman]I'm a tad busy at this very moment but I shouldn't take too long.

No rush mate.
 
Alright, since I got a two hour break before work and I'm on my laptop now, I'll make my cs! Gonna have two characters, I'll post them up at the same time, father and daughter on vacation. :)

Sounds good!
 
As you all will be traveling with fellow players and NPC survivors, how do you all feel about certain incidents during the roleplay where people get split up into smaller groups? In my head we'll have our small group of roleplayers on the island as well as a good chunk of NPCs whom are mostly going to be there to well...be dino chow.


At the moment, there's going to be ten or so NPCs who have survived the sinking of the ship.

I like this idea. :)
 
If you need to get caught up on character details, dinosaurs encountered, etc be sure to check this thread every once and a while.

I've also decided the main dino adversary for the group while they're on Isla Sorna. Of course some old favorites will cause trouble for the survivors, but there's one dinosaur who will be their main source of trouble and carnage. It's of course, my second favorite dinosaur next to Baryonyx and Tyrannosaurus. Introducing, Carcharodontosaurus.


250



For those unfamiliar with this amazing dinosaur (below are the details for the Carchar specific to the roleplay.:


Name: Carcharodontosaurus (Shark-Toothed Lizard)


Length: 44 feet (Carchar's ranged from 39-44 feet in length)


Height: 22 feet


Details:


I
t was a large carnivore that lived in Northern Africa also in South America in the Late Cretaceous Period, the same time and place as Spinosaurus. It was among the largest predatory dinosaurs (13.6 meters long), larger than Tyrannosaurus Rex. It was also one of the primary competitors to Spinosaurus for the dinosaur prey in the area, and despite being smaller it seemed to have an advantage in battle as shown from bites from Carcharodontosaurus breaking off the spines of Spinosaurus in clashes.


Additional Details:


The Carchar native to Isla Sorna was bred after Sorna was aquired by Masrani Global. It had been bred on the Isla Nublar facility of Jurassic World and had proved to be too hostile towards the other animals during its infancy, so there was an arrangement to have it moved to the biological preserve of Isla Sorna. During it's time on the island it got into numerous fights for territory with the much larger specimen, Spinosaurus (the one from JPIII) in which it had killed during a confrontation by crushing the bones in the Spino's neck with it's incredibly strong bite force, and shark-like teeth.


It is now the largest, and most territorial carnivore on Site B and is adorned with various scares and wounds from its fights over the last four years. It's most notable trait however, is that during its fight with the Spinosaurus it had lost its left eye which is now a healed over, disgusting wound.

So, it seems everyone has posted in the IC Thread, but we're still waiting on @P U R I T Y to make their characters. Since that hasn't happened yet, we'll be moving on to second round of in-character posts. We'll be going with the same order that we just used.
1. Manio


2. @WanderingJester


3. @DarlingWaylonPark


4. @The Doorman


And so on and so forth.
I'm sorry, been wrapped up today. Feel free to kick me if I'm holding anyone back.
