Cleveraptor's Not So Cleverly Named Interest Check

In the mood for Gun Gale Online, or something similar.

I rarely ask, but...

I normally wouldn't ask for a partner to play a canon character, but I am absolutely dying to RP my character opposite either Sinon or Pitohui. If you're up for this, I will love you. Or at least like you and appreciate you.

Also in the mood for some Monster Hunter, especially if it's centered around Kamura or Riders.

Sombra Island [sci-fi/horror]

@Autumn Moon@SporkoBug@RickyG85 I think we're going to have to all play multiple characters, which shouldn't be too big of a problem. As this is going to play on a lot of horror movie tropes, keep that in mind when creating your characters. Though, luckily for everyone else, I'll be taking control of the poor bastard that gets picked off first to let the group know what they're up against. I'll get to working on a CS template soon.

Oh, and of course, what's dinosaur horror without the dinosaurs? While not all species of the Cedar Mountain Formation will be featured, the ones that will play into the story include: Acrocanthosaurus (because we need a big predator), Utahraptor, and Deinonychus (and I will endeavor to make sure the two species of raptors behave differently to be different threats).

Giving this a bump. Need more dino chow volunteers.

Sombra Island [sci-fi/horror]

Okay so that's one. 🙂

@SporkoBug I'm not opposed to having others control the dinosaurs, but I do want to hammer in that I want them to behave like animals and not monsters (except for one, which will definitely be a monster).

Sombra Island [sci-fi/horror]

♪♫♬

In July 2012 an incident took place on an island off the coast of northern California, known as "Sombra Island". This incident was quietly swept under the rug, and all details of what occurred were purposefully kept hidden from the public. The company involved, known as Tiptree Industries, settled the matter behind closed doors. Nobody paid the company going under any attention. Tiptree Industries had been the third corporation dabbling in nuclear power and particle physics to file for bankruptcy that year. Those that survived the incident were given large settlements in exchange for their silence, while access to Sombra Island was restricted by the US government; the official reason given was that the nuclear reactor Tiptree Industries had constructed had melted down, leaving the island uninhabitable to humans. For eleven years, Sombra Island had been the subject of many conspiracy theories and much speculation.

This changed in August of 2023, when a small group of college-age men and women found themselves stranded on the island after their sailboat was destroyed during a freak weather event. According to the survivors, the boat sank after it was capsized by a combination of wind, and colliding with a rocky outcrop jutting out from the ocean floor. In the course of several weeks, multiple members of the party were killed, and their story was eventually released to the public, revealing what Tiptree Industries--and the US government--had really been doing on Sombra Island.

So I noticed there was an appetite for dinosaur horror in the status bar section, so I figured, what the hell. To put it simply, this RP is heavily inspired by Dino Crisis, with elements of Jurassic Park, Carnosaur, and other examples of dinosaur horror you can find in fiction. What I intend is to play as a group of survivors on this island, and how they survive the creatures of the Cedar Mountain Formation.

While I will be playing Mr. (or Ms., I haven't decided yet) Exposition for the dinosaurs, I will also be taking on the role of the dinosaurs themselves; one idea I've tossed around is light use of a D20 to determine if someone survives an encounter (unscathed or wounded), or if they die. As for the dinosaurs themselves, I seek to combine scientific accuracy with homages to paleo-media; for example, Utahraptors are planned to be feathered, but may behave in ways similar to pop culture depictions.

Ideally, I'm looking for a group of six to eight people (you know, for the "dying horrifically like in a creature feature" aspect), but I can live with less. I'd also like some feedback from people interested, in order to make this RP better, as well as someone to help me run things (since I'm not the greatest GM by any means).

Would love to hear comments and criticism of any form. :)
