Dino Island: OOC

Hey everyone I'm Jace and this is Marcus Powell, premade #5/one of the Air Marshals from the flight.

He prides himself on being the least likely person someone would expect to be a Marshal as he likes to goof off a bit, pretend to be completely aloof, and make a habit of flirting with other passengers.

This is probably the worst way to join a game but after tomorrow (/Sunday) I will be gone next week until the following Monday. I just could not resist snagging a character. So while I may just have a narrative up for day two, I plan on tearing into day three when I get back. I also plan on making at least a couple disposables at that time too.. one specific guy I have in mind and then I may see what premades are left for the other or take requests.

That said I welcome any and all plot ideas, lines, etc.

hullo all!! short player intro first: i'm evie and i like dinosaurs and today i'm bringing you the first watch this space for future disposables of my characters, my main gal elise.

elise is a bit of a firecracker. she's twenty years old, a uk resident who has lived half her life in yorkshire and the other half in london (giving her a bit of a funny accent) and is two thirds of the way through an earth sciences degree at ucl. she's a boxer, a smartass, and the very definition of gryffindor. the initial plan was to head to costa rica for a holiday with her uni friends. she was flying alone because she was coming straight from a short internship in america and planning to meet her friends at their resort. but. uh. well.

she's the sort of girl who has some leadership ability: works well under pressure, is physically very fit, can think on her feet. but she's a bit too hot-headed and young to take on such a role and will be dependent on others on the island for emotional support, so i can see her fashioning herself as more of a quirky sidekick/co-captain to any leader who might emerge in the group.

i'm up for all and any kinds of plot, so please do hit me up with any ideas. some ideas i have floating about involve finding people her own age (i've spied a few about and i imagine she'd naturally gravitate towards them), people she might clash with, and older characters that might take her under their wing and/or help her balance out some of her stronger emotions.

i'm also in the middle of writing an open starter for those nearer the back of the plane - elise is in 40f and i'm planning that she has a bit of trouble with her seatbelt, so anybody near her or within shouting distance who might want to help/freak out/be stuck in their own seat is more than welcome to tag in or plot here!

Hey people! Hunter here again and yay, I’ve finally finished the last of the characters.

So this here is ‘Riley Colton’. That’s not his real name, but that is the name he’ll use to introduce himself and interact with people, and is also the name on his passport and ID in his wallet. I’ll also use that name for referring to him in the text. His real name is ‘Connor Goldman’ (used all through his bio) and he has his original passport and birth certificate hidden in his luggage (hint there to all you scavenger type characters; there are secrets to be uncovered!)

Riley here is the (now disowned) heir to the Goldman fortune, a family that made their money through lucrative real estate deals, fashion and then reality TV. Riley grew up in front of the cameras and went through the usual celebrity children issues (sex scandals, rehab, juvie etc) before eventually breaking free before being publicly disowned.

The kicker with Riley is that he’s smart. Real smart. Borderline genius sort of smart. So while his parents were all about signing tv deals and smiling while endorsing products, Riley was googling strange things. And reading stranger things. When he broke ties with the family, he was already running his own counterfeiting operation, specializing in passports, and a few of his aliases have ties to extremist protesters. But one of those aliases was just linked with a bombing in Texas that claimed multiple lives, and now Riley is on the run (he honestly had nothing to do with that; someone’s framed him) for that and the FBI had been cracking down on his forgery front. There was also a really annoying ‘journalist’ from TMZ hanging around his house, no doubt trying to track him down for a ‘where are they now’ story.

Anyway, I’d love lines for him! I’m totally happy to have someone possibly recognize him, though they’d have to be really big on the celebrity gossip scene to put two and two together. He has been out of the limelight for 4 years and has grown up a lot over that time. But still doable. As said, someone could find his other passport etc. Or maybe our dear Bounty Hunter is after him and leaks his name to people pretty early on. I would also love to establish a line where someone else on the plane has a fake passport, one that they got from Riley. So they’d know each other by sight, but not actually be well acquainted.

But yeah, so that’s me done. Riley here, Griff the Martial Artists/stuntman and Drake the firefighter and ERT. Can’t wait to get started.

Since I saw her on the taken list, I figured it was about time for me to come searching for some storylines for this character. First off, I'm Liz and right now I only have this one though I keep debating on if I want one and have them be dinner, but for now we will focus on this one.

Brianna's apart of premade #2 group with puckd, whose also her ex and quaesitor. She grew up in California with her mom, spending half her summers and part of holidays in Seattle, Washington with her dad, and then went to college in New York to become a fashion designer. That tends to have people assuming she's a huge girly girl when Brianna is much more than that. She can be very friendly, but if the wrong buttons are pushed on her or if someone is starting with one of her friends, she will go off on the individual and is so not afraid to throw a punch. Her bonding time with her father was teaching her how to fight, work on cars, and hunting cause he never got a son. So she knows how to fix a car, use a gun, and track along with the whole how to get water, but the whole what plants are safe vs not bored her; however, she has no idea what sunk in and what went out the other ear. Also, going to be quite moody in the beginning because she's a coffee addict and won't be getting her daily coffee so watch out for that while she goes through her withdrawal of her caffeine.

With cheerleading and gymnastics along with sneaking out quite often, Bri has no problem climbing up or down trees, sneaking around without making a sound, and climbing into tiny places. Then add to the fact that she's a very daring/adventurous person that has no problem doing something stupid, especially if it means saving one of her friends cause she doesn't think twice about it, just does it. So an example is if the group was arguing on who should try to distract a dino for a few by throwing things to draw their attention so someone could get away, she will do it without a second thought, but she also will be careful to keep herself out of view type of thing.

You can read up on her in her journal cause she'll love any type of lines. Guys she flirts with cause she wants something, friends, people pissing her off that she might punch if pushed enough, maybe someone whose dying for her to try and help/save only for her to see them get eaten in front of her (I love torturing my characters and that would hurt her more than anything), and anything else you may want. I need to run out so you can look at her information to find out more about this chick.

CHARACTER INTRODUCTION TIME!!

Hey everyone! The name is Hattie and I'm so excited that this game is around, I cannot contain myself. I re-watched Jurassic World (don't judge, I love it) and then somehow sunk back into watching the Walking Dead again until I gave myself weird nightmares. Point is, the 17th cannot come any sooner. I give mad props to the M0ds of this game for not only coming up with the game, the pretty formats and for having premade characters, but for having an amazing advertising all over.

That being said, I hope that this game goes on FOREVER! So let's start with the plotting!

Amanda here is a mechanic with a little knowledge about your basic engineering and such. She never went to school for either so everything she learned, she got from her great-grandparents and her late father (who ran his own mechanics shop and was GOOD at it). So she knows how to fix stuff, break stuff apart and put it all back together in pretty much the same way it was before. OR she can figure it out. Another big thing about her is that her great-grandparents were huge survivalists (and full-blooded Irish immigrants). She's great at that sort of thing.

Oh, and she's kind of the dino nut. Meaning she's studied dinosaurs ever since she was eleven and right, she DID go to school for that, to become a paleontologist but unfortunately never was able to graduate because of family problems. But she's no slacker in studies so she read ahead. Whatever there is to know about the not-so-extinct dinosaurs, she's your girl.

Personality wise, she can be friendly. Just don't expect her to put her neck out for you, unless she knows she can survive as well (or if she's somehow made friends with you, or you're a kid). It's nothing personal. She just has .... trust issues?

So throw them characters and plot bunnies at me! Mains or disposables (I may lean more toward disposables because I love to break my characters, mwahaha).

Heya kids! I’m Hunter and I figured that I’d take a moment to introduce myself and the characters that I’m currently working on.

I’m totally up for lines, whether it be seat buddies or future plots to work towards, so if either of these three appeal to you, hit me up and we can start plotting!

( Here we go )

Sup guys, I'm Jinx and I think I will go ahead and intro more than one of mine, even though one's pending and the others are still in progress. It can't hurt to get lines for them anyway, right?
( This list is getting too long and the game hasn't even started yet )

Hopefully ya'll don't get sick of seeing me on here because I have a few more planned to come in, including the most amazing set of disposables ever. (kidding. maybe. i mean one is sean bean and another is the typical blonde girl in a horror movie.) ETA: My name is Lace by the way! -derps away-

Moving along! This is Ainsley, she's active duty US Army and currently a Cav Scout but formerly an Intelligence Analyst, that MOS didn't fulfill her need for action so when they started allowing females into combat roles she jumped at the chance. She shipped off to BCT, basic training, right after she turned 18 and hasn't looked at civilian life since. This was supposed to be her first vacation in YEARS. Thankfully she was headed to her next duty station after a quick vacay in Costa Rica, so she's got one helluva inventory in the bottom of the plane. (She'll fight for it too if she has to.) She's very friendly, hard-working, and a bit of a prankster when she isn't running for her life or hiding from dinos. I look forward to making some friends for her, or enemies, as the game progresses!

I'm going to be on here more than once because I'm bringing in a few characters, but Puck wants to be intro'd now instead of later. Quick intro, I'm Seal! Let's write awesome stories together.

Puck Devine is a college kid who almost didn't get on the plane from LA to Costa Rica. He and his friends were one seat short for their group when a last minute cancellation sealed the deal... And now they're on their way to being dino food! How lucky is that? He is loud and obnoxious and flirtatious and childish on occasion, but he's about as dangerous as a puppy right now and totally as cuddle-able. His twin sister, Tania, got all of their parents' good looks and smarts, which means he gets to be extra annoying around her <3 I would love to find a stronger personality who takes Puck under their wing a little bit; not in a coddling way, but in a I'm going to toughen you up because you might have what it takes to get out of this alive kind of way. Could even start as something where Puck starts following their lead because he thinks they're the most likely to keep him and his buddies alive. Otherwise, we still need members of their college-aged group of friends, and I would love to plot all the things with everyone!
