Morior Invictus; How Do We Continue On?

Consider me interested. I think I might create a character inspired by Hirano Kohta from Highschool of the Dead.

P2e - Threshold of Knowledge - [Ended]

I'll be keeping tabs on this to give me an idea how to post in a Pathfinder 2e game. Don't mind me watching, nor should you mind the popcorn I'm making.

A... Unique Post-Apocalyptic Idea

This is an idea I've had for a while, and it's recently reared its head again with a recent announcement. A while back, a project called Kyoryu was announced, and I thought it was a very, very interesting concept.

More information about the setting can be found here and here, as well as their official social media.

So the idea is simple: sometime in the future, humans genetically engineered dinosaurs. Why? Who cares. Pets, entertainment, research animals, humans will do anything if given power. Eventually the humans disappeared, leaving behind these dinosaurs (and other prehistoric creatures including pterosaurs, marine reptiles, and mammal-like reptiles like Dimetrodon) in a world. What have the humans left behind? What is life like in this new world?

However, the angle of this story I have planned is what makes it a little different. There is no dialogue. The world is explored through the senses of the dinosaur characters--what they see, what they smell, what they hear. Think of it as a dinosaur documentary, with the story-telling of Robert Bakker's "Raptor Red" or Genndy Tartakovsky's "Primal".

As for dinosaur knowledge and design, what I have in mind is that human science had grown so advanced that they could manifest certain traits in dinosaurs fairly easily (think the process of selective breeding, but all with some tweaks to the genetic code between generations), resulting in different "breeds" of dinosaurs; for example, you could find a breed of T. rex that is what's accurate to modern reconstructions, another that looks like a T. rex from the 90's, another with feathering, or even armor and spikes.

Again, I realize this is an extremely niche idea, but I think it would be a fun exercise to explore a world as a character that's not able to think or speak like a human, especially if they can explore what humans have left behind.

Any thoughts? Comments or critique? Let me know!

And now a face and name for Alwin's companion: Erastil>

@wanderingwolf I updated Alwin's information once more. Just adding his deity, age, and the backstory I sent via PM.

EDIT- Also changed one of his feats down the line.

Oh, yeah, I've been wondering something. I would suppose, in comparison to humans, dwarves age and mature more slowly. At about what age would a dwarf be the equivalent of, say, their mid-twenties?

Oh, I see. Thinking about it, I think I'll stick with Deinonychus. Maybe try out Troodon another time.

@wanderingwolf Currently at work, but I can pitch my character's backstory later. Either here or in PM is fine (depending on if you want to use the information down the road to surprise other players).

Looking at the creatures, I think there could be some interesting things done with a Troodon's vocal mimicry ability as a companion creature. If I go with that should I adjust the companion dromaeosaur's stats, or just leave it as is?

Crap, I didn't realize that I needed to make a new link. Will get around to that when I get home from work.
