Welcome to Isla Sorna: Be the Raptor Quest

[X] Tyranosaurus Rex: The Tyranosaurus Rex was initially created by InGen as the primary attraction to the park. While the discovery that the find was a tyranosaur was extremely uplifting and promising for the future of the park, the question of what to graft to the genetic sequence puzzled the scientists. It was eventually decided that DNA of frogs and the secretary bird would be grafted alongside some DNA from tigers would be added when the first generation of tyranosaur came out mute. The roars that resulted satisfied John greatly and reinforced the 'unusually' hollow bones the first gen had. The unexpected addition of stripes to the scale hide of the resulting tyranosaurs made them more pleasing to the eye than the bland grey hides they had before. They were kept in a paddock far enough away from the staff facilities that both the staff and the animals are comfortable before their release across the island.

[X] Deinonychus: On Isla Sorna, no dinosaur is more feared than the raptors. While the early gens of this species were dully coloured and had a tendency to become hyper-aggressive in times of high stress, these features were removed in the later gens created by InGen. The specimens currently on Isla Nublar are slated for relocation to permanent paddocks on Isla Sorna away from the park. John, due to pressure from lawyers and investors from InGen, has decided to keep the raptors on Isla Nublar until after the meeting to be held with the advisors against the advice of the animal's keepers. Multiple specimens of varying gens were kept on Isla Sorna in multiple paddocks spread across Isla Sorna according to the contained specimens generation and the friendliness of the each paddocks contained specimens. They were released into the wilds shortly after reaching adult sizes.

If you want to play as a raptor, please select one pack of Deinychus to enter into. This vote will not effect the overall vote of Deinonychus.

-[X] Dull Back Pack (1st gen - 4th gen) (Classic JP Raptors) ... Honey, I lied, there is hora!
-[X] Dapple Back Pack ( 5th gen - 9th gen) (JP 3 Raptors))
-[X] Bright Back Pack (10th gen - 12th gen) (Self-styled Raptors) ... Cause why not?

[X] Dilophosaurus: The Dilophosaurus is a relatively new animal to InGen, with the first gen being housed in paddocks on Isla Nublar while additional animals of the second, third, and fourth generations are being made on Isla Sorna to serve as backups for the first gen in case of mistakes and failures in the genetic code of the first generation resulting in fatal or unattractive flaws. Due to the full appearance of the majority of Isla Nublar's animals, the second and third generations of Dilophosaurus were made in such a way so as to add more colour to the park. Dilophosaurus is a species that has caused the scientists of InGen much grief in its reconstruction due to the abnormalities that are present in their current specimens, such traits as the extendable frill and the ability to project venom. Success in removing these traits has only recently been succeeded with the fourth generation though these specimens are noted to be larger and fiercer than previous generations. All Dilophosaurus specimens are kept in a series of large paddocks with twenty in each paddock before release into the wild, except the first generation which currently resides on Isla Nublar, on the southern part of Isla Sorna, by Good Point.

Select one pack of Dilophosaurus to enter, if you want to play as one. This vote will not effect the overall vote of Dilophosaurus.

[X] Baryonyx: The Baryonyx is the first piscivorous animal saved from extinction in Jurassic Park. Baryonyx inhabited a paddock that covers the entirety of a section of river east of the worker's village before their release into the wild. They have genetic sequences of frogs, raccoons, and crocodiles added to their damaged genetic sequence in the hopes of providing the animal the appropriate appearance and skills needed to fish for themselves from the river. So far, this has been successful as demonstrated by the the three generations of animals present on Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna. Isla Sorna has a population of nine Baryonyx while Isla Nublar has a population of four.

[X] Carnotaurus: The Carnotaurus were made by InGen and have had multiple generations made across the span of InGen's time working in genetics. The latest generations were created by grafting a chameleon's genetic sequence to the known Carnotaurus sequence to make them seem more 'realisitic' due to concerns from in-the-know investors. Due to the genetic grafting, these Carnotaurus have become more ambush predators than the cheetahs of yesterday the previous models were.

The earlier generations of Carnotaurus actually were more realistic than the later gens, unknown to the InGen scientists and investors of the time. The early gens of Carnotaurus were created by splicing the DNA of emus, cassowaries, and frogs into their damaged segments of DNA. This subspecies of Carnotaurus are kept separated from each other in paddocks, far from one another due to the obvious differences they show from each other as well as the aggression they display when placed in paddocks nearby one another.

The early gen Carnotaurus were kept in a vast paddock in the Meadow that reaches into some of the jungle around it before release into the wild. They currently have a population of thirteen on Isla Sorna. The later generation of Carnotaurus were kept in a large paddock surrounded by Redwood jungle in the south western area of Isla Sorna and have a population of twelve.

If you want to play as a Carnotaurus, please select one generation of the below to play as. This vote will not effect the overall vote of Carnotaurus.

[X] Compsognathus: The Compies of Isla Sorna were originally designed to be the primary recycler of waste products and remains of the inhabitants. In reality, while they played to their intended part, they had a tendency to supplement their diet with whatever they could find. It isn't currently known what allows Compies to digest the majority of what they eat, considering that their genetic sequence hinted at a more restricted diet, but it is assumed the grafting that allows for the act of de-extinction was involved. From what has been observed so far, these creatures will occasionally hunt their own prey en-mass when the alpha of their flock so decides. Some members of this species have been observed climbing trees to gain better vantage points to look out for predators. Communication amongst members of their flock has been observed indicating social intelligence. Alphas can be told apart from the rest of their flock by their larger size and the faint darker green stripes that hang across their backs. Currently, Compies are the only carnivous species of dinosaur allowed to roam free range throughout the island.

[X] Protoceratops: One of the first dinosaurs to be actually saved from extinction, protoceratops proved to be the hardest to resurrect simply for the fact that such an act had never been done before. As of now, it is doing quite well with one population of approximately sixty members of various generations inhabiting the San Fernando Mountain Range while another population of varying generations reaching about fifty members inhabits the coasts of Crown Bay. Those keepers that have been overseeing the two populations of Protoceratops have noted that both populations prefer tougher plants and will dig for roots and grubs throughout the day.

If you decide to enter the game as a Protoceratops, please enter which herd you want to enter. This vote will not effect the overall vote of Protoceratops.

-[X] Mountain Herd Nuh-uh, you didn't say the magic word.
-[X] Coastal Herd

[X] Hadrosaur: Hadrosaurs make up the bulk of Jurassic Park's animals throughout the islands. These animals are allowed freerange throughout the various herbivorous paddocks, with one or two exceptions, so as to keep grass height levels and vegetation to tolerable levels for the rest of Jurassic Park's inhabitants. Various hadrosaurs have been modified to eat various vegetation so as to sustain the populations currently on the island.

If chosen, a 6 sided die will be rolled and you will become whatever is rolled.

-[1] Parasaurolophus (one secret weapon / one 'weakness')
-[2] Corythosaur (one secret weapon / one 'weakness')
-[3] Iguanadon (one secret weapon / one 'weakness')
-[4] Maiasaur (one secret weapon / one 'weakness')
-[5] Edmontosaur (one secret weapon / one 'weakness')
-[6] Lambeosaurus (one secret weapon / one 'weakness')

[X] Pachycepalosaur: There are about thirty some Pachys inhabiting the island of Isla Sorna. They are one of the hardiest of the islands inhabitants, able to thrive in the jungles, forests, and clearings of Isla Sorna. However, they are a species that has a habit of inflicting unconsciousness unto themselves when they bash heads to often. Though this behaviour was thought to be male-only behaviour, it is currently unknown why they will do so as females. They are based in a two paddocks, one in the Meadow and one in the jungles of Magdelena Tip And have an overall population of thirty-three animals.

[X] Triceratops: Intended to be one of the main attractions in Jurassic Park, this animal has proven to have too bad a temper to allow visitors to get as close to them as originally intended. Oddly, some of the animals have a tendency to grow small quills from their backs down to their hindquarters while others do not. It isn't currently known why, though some scientists are working on isolating the sequence that grows them and eliminating it. These animals are highly temperamental, to such a degree that hadrosaurs are not allowed into their paddock. The quilled animals are isolated from the smooth incase the quills are a sign of ill health. These animals have been noted to eat the corpses of the Compies that die due to injury in their enclosures as well as small mammals, insects, and most plants in their paddocks. The quill paddock is located by the Deep Channel with a population of forty-five. The smooth paddock is located by Open Point and has a population of thirty-seven animals.

If you select Triceratops, please chose one of the below. This vote will not effect the overall vote of Triceratops.

-[X] Quill Back (IRL Triceratops) .... They sure have changed, haven't they?
-[X] Smooth Back (movie Triceratops). Good old classics,.

[X] Galliminus: A dinosaur on the island that shows an inclination for flocking, these animals are primarily herbivores while supplementing their diet with insects and small mammals as they need to. Currently roaming freerange throughout the island, the main flock carries approximately one hundred and twenty individuals that migrate throughout the island to devour what they need. They have been noted to be primary distributionists for many of the fruit bearing plants of their islands.

Please ignore the locations of movie events. Those will be decided by the QM later on. This map is so that the QM and readers can have better mental images of their landscapes while in character.

The Grown:

Mother - Alpha (Silver Gray coloration with lime green eyes and red-brown veins visible. She is very motherly and a captivating story-teller. Has a caring disposition for Father. Maintains a no-raptor-left-behind philosophy. Mother has a rivalry?/hatred of an Odd known has the Brown Odd. It is not yet known if the rest of the pack has this same dislike for it/him/her.)

Father - Alpha (Red-Brown coloration with lime green eyes and red-brown veins visible. Somewhat distant, but skilled finishing-hunter and protector. Third largest raptor in the pack, and is unusually large for a male due to his genderbent nature. Has caring disposition for Mother. Maintains a no-raptor-left-behind philosophy. Father is a thinker, and probably the closest thing to a philosopher the pack has. He is predisposed to deep, thought-provoking insight.)

Second-Male - Beta (Red-Burnt Orange coloration with lime green eyes that have visible red-brown veins. Very playful, as a young adult male raptor and quite willing to watch over his younger siblings and relatives. He can be quite scary when forced to be. He is one of Mother's first hatchlings and is currently attempting to court Second Female.)

Second-Female - Beta (Pebble Gray coloration with more pebbled textured scales than the other pack members. Has Bright Green eyes. She has a no-nonsense attitude and tolerates Second-Male's sillier antics most of the time. She appears to prefer spending time in the company of the rest of the pack then with Second-Male. She is a skilled ambusher and stalker, and enjoys watching hatchlings/your siblings play their games.)

Scar-Snout - Gamma (Boulder Gray coloration, and Amber eyes, with a scar over to her from Second-Male that crosses the length of her snout. The scar manages to go over one nostril and ends on her bottom jaw, after crossing the length of her snout. She is an expert stalker-hunter and ambusher. Enjoys her position in the pack and jealously defends it. Has a playful rivalry with Second-Male and play/fights with Scars-Scales often.)

Scars-Scales - Delta (Boulder Gray coloration and Amber eyes with many scars, for which she is named, marking her back, snout, and sides. An expert tackling-hunter and solo-hunter, she does well both on her own and in pack hunting. She prefers to play sentry for the pack during Brightest Light and enjoys soaking in the waters by the water-sands and Long Waters in the territory)

Slack-Jaw - Delta (Boulder Gray coloration, Amber eyes, with a off-Center jaw for which she is named. It is currently unknown to you how she got this injury. An expert stalker-hunter, ambusher and solo-hunter, she often partners up with Scars-Scales. Often helping your less-well off siblings with food and activities, she has a very caring nature.)

Stone Sister: (One of the three siblings to hatch before you did and ranked just above you at third, she is the strongest sibling in your clutch, or at least you claim she is. She is your fighting rival, and matches your brains with muscle and brain. Loves play-fighting)

Pebble Sister: (Your second recurring companion and partner, PS is the pouncer and climber in your clutch. She likes to occasionally ambush the Grown from above and dive-pounce them by surprise, sometimes at the most in-opportune moments)

Light Blue Gray Brother: (Your most recurring companion and partner, LBGB is the speed to your brains. Your rivals through and through and he doesn't like being told what to do by you. Most of the time, you two get along though, so long as you respect his boundries)

Gray Sister: (The loner of your clutch, GS likes to watch the world roll by. She seems to be as smart as Dull, Dark Gray Brother, but is always watching you and your siblings. Comes off as a little creepy at times, but always a great storyteller)

Dull, Dark Gray Brother: (The laziest of your siblings in your clutch, DDGB often dozes his days away. Despite his lazy nature, he often outmatches even you in the brains department. Is the most introspective raptor you have ever known... Best napping partner around though)

Blue-Gray Sister: (Mid-tier, BGS wants to rank higher and is play-fighting all the time to try and get better skills and attain that goal. Often partners up with Stone Sister)

Stone Brother: (Content with his lower tier position, SB likes to join Pebble Sister in her Tree Jump games. About the same size as you, he likes the challenges Pebble Sister presents. Sometimes partners up with you in play)

Boulder Gray Sister: (Often a companion to Light Gray Brother, BGS just doesn't care about the jockeying of position. She likes to just be the energic mammal to the lazy reptiles that's your brother Light Gray Brother and Dull, Dark Gray Brother. Has an optimist view of the world)

Light Gray Brother: (One of the lowest ranked among your siblings, LGB Is the smallest of your clutch and is most commonly found napping by Dull, Dark Gray Brother. However in speed games, LGB ranks highest. The day you and your siblings were allowed to first hunt Mammals, he literally ran one over and killed it by stomping it to death. Has second name, Scar-Leg)
