Ah. I was hoping it would have started this weekend, because of my busy week coming up. School and work will take up most of my time, but maybe I can still at least post one-three+ times a day during the week. My interest level is usually short lived if I have to wait too long tho, but I'll stick around for as long as I can. This thread is promising and I'm itching to get into character.
That's fair, and class warfare will definitely be interesting to play out. I agree that the conflicting beliefs about keeping or destroying the Draconides, the clashing lifestyles between medieval status, and the mystery behind how the Draconide's were brought to existence during this time period will make up an alluring plot.
Nice. So if only a few dinos are tamed and controlled by the rich and noble families, then I believe it'd be best if the story started out around the time of the taming process. I also think that the larger carnivores should be discovered and domesticated little by little. That way no one's character ends up acting invincible with a powerful elite dinosaur right off jump. Playing out the difficulties and complexities of taming and learning to bond with dinosaur companions would be a lot more interesting than just having them already tamed without explanation. Another big factor that should be discussed before anything else is who the main Antagonist will be? Maybe there is a feud between royal families? Or do all kingdoms share a common enemy besides the Draconides? Wild dinosaurs are obviously the main conflict, but there has to be something else to keep the role play unpredictable.
That's understandable; I know how college can be myself. Have you decided on a title for the thread?
Bump
Kaga said I figured we could use all three main eras on account of magic. Plus it keeps the required knowledge level low for those wanting to join, which is what I hoped to keep.
That's cool with me. Ready to get this thing started.
Around the late Jurassic and the Cretaceous period is when the big boy, predatory carnivores started to rule the land. The Cretaceous period is also the main era when herbivores started to develop their protective armor against predators. It's up to Kaga, but the Triassic period isn't the most compelling, because the smaller dinos during that time aren't as much of a threat. Though, it doesn't matter to me if all three main dino era's will be in the role play.
Yes, I sent a pm to you adding on to what I was going to say in my last post. My character is known to wander and explore outside of his home kingdom. The story would get bland quick if we focused on one main kingdom the whole time and just a single unified culture.
Went back to edit the word Tera and Teravaes. I misspelled them with two r's which could confuse those who know Terra is associated with earth. Tera not Terra, means demon in Echlai and it's understood in reverse, whereas Vaes in short of Vaeslae means sky. Draconites are mythical stones, but I guess that could work. You could call em Draconides or something to change it up, but do as you wish. As far as having seperate kingdoms, I think there should be more than one kingdom or else the world would seem pretty flat and limiting whereas multiple kingdoms and diverse cultures makes the world dynamic and more believable.
I like the idea of letting the cultures of each kingdom have their own names for the dinos. For example, the culture that I created have their own language and so the dialect would be a lot different than what your kingdom's culture might call them. I do have an idea for a universal name for pterodactyls and that is "Teras" which is short for Teravaes which means "Sky Demons" in Echlai, the language that I'm developing for my character's people in this role play. It'd be an interesting foreshadowing since the people of this time don't know the real names of the dinosaurs.
I also like the idea of using Titan, but I think that carnivores and herbivore dinos should be called two seperate things. Rogue Titan could be the large carnivores and just Titan or Gentle Giants for the large herbivores. I think the most interesting thing as you stated (and I'm still thinking of) is what we could call all dinos in general. Should be something unique just like TWD came up with the name Walkers for zombies. Maybe something like Demon Beasts or Devil Monsters. Those are just some I threw out of my brain real fast.
