SIXTY MILLION YEARS AGO
LATE CRETACEOUS PERIOD
It is the end of an era. Death now reigns supreme over the tattered Earth, crippled from the devastation that has resulted from the Stone of Fire. The Burning. An event that has incinerated everything in its path---and everyone. It has ensured the death of a dynasty, one that has been commanded by the most powerful creatures ever to exist, until this moment.
That does not, however, mean their time is done, for they will not so easily lose their grip upon life. Their stubborn willpower and drive will not allow for that. And thus, they will push forward, doing they only thing they can do in such foreboding times as these.
Endure.

PLOT
Based upon a story I am currently writing on my Wattpad account, this is an alternate take to what happened after the comet that destroyed the dinosaurs struck. In this case, their reign of supremacy has ended, but they will not so easily be left behind by the changing times. The survivors of the Burning must take it upon themselves to find the final sanctuary, by any means possible. Along the way, bonds will be formed, and alliances will be made. It's no longer just about the predator and prey cycle---the journey these creatures will embark on will be bigger than anything they have grown up with for millennia.
RULES
1. All FeralFront rules apply here, as is the case of every other thread. They therefore need to be respected.
2. Fighting during the RP/in the OC will not be tolerated. You either take it somewhere else, or you work it out and make no further issue of it. Failure to do this WILL result in a ban. No questions. No excuses. NOTHING. Comprende?
3. This is a semi-advanced/advanced Roleplay, depending on your skill. I expect at least a legitimate five sentence paragraph per post, but if you feel you can go beyond that, by all means, be my guest!
4. Try to keep a decent balance between the species of dinosaur. It would be unrealistic to have the carnivores outnumber the herbivores (compare the carnivore/herbivore categories in the species list).
5. Attempt to think semi-realistically as to how your character would act in regards to their species. Remember, they aren't people---the idea of community and working together is not a thing yet.
6. NO KILLING OFF OTHER PLAYER'S CHARACTERS. This especially goes for the carnivores, but also for herbivores as well. (I've played many a dinosaur game where the herbivores are @sses and go after the carnis.)
7. Please do not be a prick and make your dinosaur OP. It's unrealistic, unfair, and it ruins the RP, so just don't.
8. NO HUMANS AT ALL. I just want to throw that out there. No mofo humans going to be occurring on this thread, peeps ;).
9. If you have read all the rules, name your favorite dinosaur in the "Other" section. (I WILL KNOW IF YOU DIDNT >:D)
SPECIES LIST
To keep a sense of reality, all Dinosaur species will be limited to those that existed from the end of the Jurassic period to the Late Cretaceous period. In regards to location, most of this roleplay will be taking place in what would today be present day North America, however, as land bridges are frequent during this time period, intercontinental journeys may take place after the main plot, which will then feature Dinosaur species from those locations ;) I'm telling you, if I wasn't so ordely, I'd be cramming all the species in here!
For now, however, here is the current list of dinosaurs and other great reptiles!

MTUNZA
"Enough talk! Let's do this!"
Name: "The name's Mtunza. In my kind's tongue, it means 'protector'."
Age: "I am seventeen winters old." Seventeen years.
Gender: "Okay, you're either blind or stupid." Male.
Category: "Carnivore, obviously. I mean, have you seen these teeth?"
Species: "Guess." Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Height: "Hmm, now let's see..." A fully grown Tyrannosaurus would be thirteen feet high at the hip, so Mtunza would be ten feet high.
Length: A fully grown T-Rex is forty-five feet long from head to tail, so Mtunza is forty feet long.
Personality: "Come on, can we please get this over with? We're on a schedule, you know!" If you're looking for a fierce dino, Mtunza is the living picture of fierce. Course, that's accompanied also by a somewhat impatient attitude, but eh, who's going to point that out to a T-Rex like him? Besides, his temperament is justified. Having seen a load of unsavory things in the time after the great Burning, one can't help but sympathize with him. He's a good soul at heart, and feels that everyone deserves a chance at life. With the past all but destroyed, the only thing he and the other dinosaurs of the Cretaceous can strive for is a better future.
History: "Well, wouldn't you like to know!" Mtunza spent most of his childhood with his father and younger brother Umbu, but eventually left the family to strike off on his own at the age of fifteen, never seeing them again since then. As such, much of his time was spent either wandering to and fro between territories, or hunting for his next meal. However, he always had a soft spot towards those much smaller than himself, and it was those dinosaurs that he chose to leave be.
Mtunza's life took a rather drastic turn when the Stone of Fire struck, and all of a sudden the need to survive became all the more pressing in a world that had already been harsh enough as it was before. Fortunately, it has not affected his personality in any way, and he's not losing sight of hope just yet.
Crush/Bf/Gf/Mate: "Eww. NO. Ask someone else." Will develop.
Relationships: "Well, to tell you the truth, I didn't go on this journey alone..." Sometime during his travel northward (will explain purpose in the news), Mtunza met Nemi, a young, yet bold Nemicolopterus that prior to their meeting had been surviving off whatever scraps he could find in the Wastelands, the remnants of what used to be a great oasis, surrounded by forests that stretched for miles. As mentioned earlier, Mtunza could never bring himself to harm a creature so much smaller than himself, despite the threat of starvation, and as the two both had their share of misfortunes during the Burning, they decided to team up in the journey north, both relying on their unique set of skills attributed to their species alone to help each other survive, and quickly becoming the best of friends.

Other: Obviously, I'm a fan of the Tyrannosaurus, but as you can tell, Nemicolopterus, Austroraptor, and Pachyrhinosaurus are my favorites as well.

NEMI
"You haven't seen crazy until you've seen me."
Name: "I'm Nemi! Nice to meet you!"
Age: "I have seen fifteen winters go by." Fifteen years old.
Gender: "Where'd your brain go?" Male.
Category: "Pterosaur! Duh!"
Species: "Don't judge my size, or I'll peck your eyes out." Nemicolopterus.
Height: A Nemicolopterus is about the size of a sparrow, so that would be my description of the dimensions. It had a wingspan of 10 inches.
Length: STATED IN "HEIGHT".
Personality: "Let's go, let's go, LET'S GO! Sometime today would be nice!" Compared to his Rex companion, Nemi is far more impatient than Mtunza, but it is made up for by his tenacity and fearlessness, despite his incredibly tiny size, which most refrain from mentioning to him as the pterosaur will get very irritated in response. No one, however, will doubt his bravery that stirs within him, one that no saurian, be it herbivore, carnivore, or pterosaur, could hope to challenge.
History: "Ummm...Well..." Nemi may act tough, but his past and present is one of uncertainty and worry. Before the Burning, he lived by a great oasis (as stated in Mtunza's profile), along with his family flock. During that time, he managed to become adept in the linguistics of the other dinosaur species that lived nearby, including the occasional Tyrannosaurus Rex, a skill that would come to prove handy in the later years. He left his family upon turning fourteen to live with a cousin flock for several months, as his desire to see the rest of the lands grew impossible to be restrained. However, he was forced to go back when the Burning happened, returning only to find that his flock had vanished, and the oasis had been destroyed, left now as the scorched, volcanic Wastelands.
Crush/Bf/Gf/Mate: "Well, there was this ONE girl..." Prior to meeting Mtunza, Sora was his closest friend, the two having used to play together under the watchful eyes of their guardians from both of their flocks. When the Burning happened, both were pushed to their limits trying to provide for the other, tragically becoming separated when a violent eruption from a previously dormant volcano threw the region into chaos. Nemi never saw Sora again since that day.
Relationships: "Well, Mtunza here has been a blessing. Granted, he's not the most laxed guy around..." I CAN HEAR YOU! "But I'm glad to have him around. That sniffer of his is no joke. He can catch the scent of a three day old carcass better than I can. I haven't felt this filled in two months. Then again, its probably cause of all these bugs. Gotcha!" Crunch Crunch Crunch. "I'm telling you, you're a buffet on two legs! Mmm-mmm-mmm!"

BERRIX
"Let's not do anything insane, ok? Please?"
Name: "Name's Berrix. Want to be friends?"
Age: "I'm sixteen, last I checked."
Gender: "Can I just say, that was the stupidest question I've heard?" Male.
Category: "Again, stupid question." Herbivore.
Species: "Don't say a single word about the nose." Pachyrhinosaurus.
Height: 2.5m (8.2ft)
Length: 7m (22.96ft)
Personality: "Can't talk now. Busy working on my survival instincts." And let me tell you, he works on them ALOT, but without much avail. He is a very determined soul, but his innate self-reservation and need for solitude interferes with his dreams for greatness. It's rather frustrating, believe me, ESPECIALLY when your dad is the leader of the herd you live in. At times, it seems as if Berrix's older brother Rogan is far better off. Well, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. But when life sends a burning Stone of Fire into the Earth and destroys everything you knew and loved...Well, that's a tough one. Let me get back to you on that.
History: "Uh, its kind of too upsetting to talk about..." Sigh. "BUT if you must know..." Berrix's brother Rogan was the first to break shell out of a clutch of seven, Berrix being the last. Normally that is not considered very good fortune in dinosaur times, but Berrix managed to pull through all the way into his teen years. Granted, it wasn't exactly fun living under the shadow of your big brother, who by tradition would be expected to be the next qualified candidate for leader of the herd, but as there's no use in complaining, Berrix chose to ignore it. The one thing he could not ignore, however, was the Burning and the path of destruction that followed its coming. The only hope that remained was to venture to the summer grounds, a region far to north enclosed by towering mountains, with luck untouched by the Burning. That is what he, along with the rest of herbivores of his father's herd, have been doing since then.
Crush/Bf/Gf/Mate: "Please. As if." Might develop.
Relationships: "Well, you got my dad, who nobody messes with, and I look up to him, like, A LOT. Then you have my brother Rogan, whose usually pretty cool. He just gets weird around food, though."

FLASH
"Now you see me, now you don't!"
Name: "Flash, Flash, two-hundred yard dash!"
Age: "I've seen thirteen summers! Or was it fourteen? I don't keep track." He's thirteen turning fourteen.
Gender: "Dummy!" Male.
Category: "Carnivore, but I really only eat fish."
Species: "You have a millisecond to guess. Time's up!" Austroraptor.
Height: Austroraptor is currently being debated, but I would place Flash at around six feet and eight inches.
Length: Austroraptor could grow up to five meters in length, equivalent to 16.4 feet long. At Flash's age, he would be 14 feet long.
Personality: "GOTTA GO FAST!"
