Player list:
- Nikohl (FF4000) Raptor Appearance:► Show SpoilerName: Brigitte
Age: 17
Appearance: Small and wirily strong, with a young face and old eyes.
Info:
Brigitte lives on the streets, and has done ever since she arrived from her home country of Haiti, smuggled in by a boat paid for by her desperate parents. She has always done what she needed to do to survive, and it's worked out ok so far. Once one of the other street rats beat her up and took the sleeping bag she'd been given by a kind passer by, but she's never let anything like that happen again. Sly and cunning, she makes her way through a combination of begging (taking advantage of her innocent wide-eyed appearance) and theft, and several years of eating out of the trash and sleeping in alley ways has made her particularly good at both. She has fleeting, childish dreams of making a fortune and rescuing her family from their poverty, but has the cynical heart of a girl who knows there's no such thing as fairy tales, and you only get what you can take.► Show SpoilerBrigitte:
Brigitte becomes an adult female velociraptor sporting lean muscles; she noticeably weighs less than the others. Her scales are a burnt orange with hint of red overtone, though her belly-to-tail scales are a very light cream color that the red and orange bleed into where they meet. Her feathering is softer, further belaying the agility that comes with her frame. It puffs up more around her eye ridges before merging together atop her head and drifting down her neck and finally spilling out onto her back in near downy fluff. Her tail feathers are fairly long, though the severity seen in some of the other raptors is almost missing and they drape together behind her, forming a scythe shape. - Gathersingredients(008000) Raptor Appearance:► Show SpoilerName: Lauren McKenzie from Bradfield, England. She's 17 years old, goes to school, and she just found out that her would-be-BF (she wants something serious, he's just interested in the carnal aspect of the relation) Jacob might have impregnated her in the night when her parents were out of town two weeks ago, when they ... tried stuff out. (She was late on her period, got nervous, made a test and it was positive. But as people more into this topic might know, there is the possibility of a false positive, too.) Now her world is in turmoil and she doesn't know what to do.► Show SpoilerLauren becomes a slender muscled female velociraptor. She is full grown, standing about 5' 11" tall, though lacking the muscle mass of a more senior female. Her scale-skin is a typical dark green and mottled brown that fades to a mossy tan along the belly and on between her legs till it nears the tip of her tail. Her feathers are an odd silvery brown, though the feather stock itself is the same green of her scale-skin. They [feathers]are longest on her tail tip and a fine fluff with a few small vanity plumes above the eye ridge. The feathering is thicker along the back of her neck and reduces to a fine fluff before vanishing near the bottom of the back of her neck in a tight V. Three mottled splotches stand out along her spine.
- Arch Lich Burns (FF00FF) Raptor Appearance:► Show SpoilerName: Henry
Male-age 15
He was born in West Virgina.
His interests lie in theatrics and being a magician, many would probably call him mediocre at best but he has fun doing magic in front of friends and family being compleatly over dramatic in the shows. In order to get more money to support his hobby he sometimes goes into the streets to perform he was about to do a disappearing act when...► Show SpoilerHenry will wake to his new form as a small, lithe raptor youth. His opaque white hide is tinted with pink, a coloration that appears more saturated near his joints. Similarly colored pink stripes branch from his spine and taper off before reaching too far down his chest. As an albino, his eyes are also a brilliant shade of pink, though the natural toughness of raptor hide doesn't lead to any normal afflictions albino's suffer from. Black feathering sprouts from his shoulders, tail tip and, in smaller size, eye ridges. A pink splotch on his right cheek roughly depicts a spade, as if from a playing card. - BadgeAddict Raptor Appearance:► Show SpoilerName: Bjorn Hanssen
Age: 27
Year: ~ 857 A.D.
Bjorn was a fearless viking warrior who had over the course of his life lost his father, his mother and all of his siblings. Defending a village from constant pillaging was a difficult lot in life but it was the only thing one could do in an effort to have a home for your children to survive in. Unless of course you had no children...no wife, no nearby neighbors, no one at all. The village had been hit hard last summer leaving everyone in the village dead except for Bjorn who had been out hunting. When he had returned to the burning huts and bodies, he swore to revenge his family and village against the ones who had done this...the same ones who had done this every year for the past 3 years. Taking what little supplies he could find from the remains of the village, he headed south along the coast. He made fast progress alone and as he stepped into the village with blood in his eyes he started attacking. Axes in each hand, he ran through the village hacking down men left and right until the villages leader came in sight and suddenly an axe to the back ended his vengeance.
He fell like a stone and the last thing he saw before it all went dark was a blade chopping down toward his face.... At least now I can join my fathers in Valhalla....was his last thought before he died.► Show SpoilerBjorn appears as a mottled gray raptor with a streak of pale green starting at the base of his neck and running down his spine until it wraps around his tail and tapers off as it approaches the tip. Blood red freckling peppers his thighs, a pattern that also shows on each of his cloudy-white feathers on his shoulders, spine and elbow joints. His body sports a large frame and is endowed with exceptionally well muscled legs. - Samwiser(0040FF) Raptor Appearance:► Show SpoilerName: Samuel Clemens
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Country: USA
Sam was a trapeze artist. Worked at a Cirque du Soleil type place. Fairly short, but flexible and strong, he was capable of flying through the air with the greatest of ease. He was doing a doubles routine with one of his coworkers. He had just launched himself off of his swing, arms spread out so she could catch him. Their hands were inches from meeting when...► Show SpoilerSamuel becomes a smaller-than-average adult female raptor; strong, muscular legs compensate greatly for the difference in body size compared to the others[6" or so, I'll let you decide just how much smaller]. Her new form's hide is a gentle blue with two sets of aquamarine haphazardly placed parallel stripes running the length of her body. Aquamarine feathers sprout from her shoulder blades, hips and wrists. - Feytala [#000040] Raptor Appearance:► Show SpoilerName: Katrina Jansen
Age: 24 (I imagine her from a not-so-far-future. Lets say 2020-2050)
Appearance: rather tall for a woman, slender, more wiry and athletic than muscular, with long auburn hair, sapphire eyes and a somewhat mischievous smile, which never seems to fully leave her lips. A fine scar runs from her left brow down to the left cheek (A tumble with someone who couldn't take a no... Don't worry, he looked much worse).
Info:
Katrina hails from germany (Hey, yes, I am finally playing someone from my own country ! ). She had a nice childhood - Well, as nice as it gets, when you're the only girl out of six children. In the end, she ended up being more of a boy, at least, thats how she usually sees it. The tomboyish attitude never left her - As didn't the instinctual care for the bigger family, start with the youngest. She did her military service, even when it wasn't compulsory for women, but it helped her to think a little bit more about what she wanted to do with her life. As it was, the military wasn't it. She was much to free-spirited and thick-headed to be good at following orders from people, which seemed to loose 5 points of IQ whenever gaining a rank. In the end, she did something entirely different and studied botany at the university of Heidelberg. She also is a practioner of tai chi and a semi-professional swimmer, as well as somewhat of a geek... Not that any of that will help her much in a non-human form.
So, hailing from a loving working class family in a rich country with no problems to feed herself and no real war the population would have noticed in three generations, with social healthcare that forbid the worst issues of poverty - her life was full of experiences, yet entirely more anticlimatic than that of other tranformed. She keeps a cool (if stubborn) head and all the strategic talent that role-playing games are able to give you. Hey, thats what half the people do at university...
Her last remembrance as a human is shaking the hand of her professor after reaching out to her degree. She never got it.► Show SpoilerKatrina becomes an young-adult male raptor; lean and gangly, her new form shows signs of easy muscle development as well as the needs of a growing raptor. Katrina's hide is grey-black and sports more dominantly displayed grey stripes that taper away from each of the vertebra in his spine. Small, pearly white feathers adorn his eye ridges while larger feathering appears on his spine and wrist. His tail feathers are the same pearly white coloration, but are far softer than any others, giving it a fluffy appearance.
► Show Spoiler
Lilly: Female - 7 - Very into athletic activities - Was blowing out the candles on her birthday cake in front of her friends.
Raptor Appearance: Raptor female youth, rather similarly mirroring her previous existence in comparable age. Her slight body is pastel yellow with blue speckling running down the length of her spine. Her feathering colors are not evident as they are only just coming in.
Farah House: Female - 31 - Distraught mother - Was desperately clutching a pillow to her chest and trying her best not to cry as she stared at her phone, waiting for a call, good or bad, from the police search teams or her husband who was out with them.
Raptor Appearance: Farah takes on the form of an adult female raptor of average build. Her hide is a cream orange tint with darker orange streaks running down her sides, but seemingly deeper in her hide. Creamy brown feathers fluff out from her eye ridges, shoulder, tail tip and ankles.
DECEASED Gilroy Vanshoke: Male - 26 - All in the little details - Gilroy looked out into a crowded room as electricity surged through his body, his last thoughts of grim amusement that not one person even flinched as the smell of his own burning flesh filled the air.
Raptor Appearance: Adult Male Raptor - Gilroy's hide is a dark crimson that approaches black at the joints. Scar-white patterns that resemble lightning strikes are spread randomly over his body, though most notable are the ones on his forehead and forearms. He has no feathering unless you count the stubbly "dead" buds where feathering should occur.
Ambrose Durand: Male - 43 - Disgruntled "old" man - Ambrose stared at the massive tower of steel growing before him in the heart of France, grumbling to himself about the absurdity of such a creation. Oblivious to the cried warnings, he had began to approach the contractors office to argue his case when a steel beam sheared him nearly in half; his last conscious thought one of utter surprise before the cold call of death beckoned him into the void.
Raptor Appearance: Durand takes on the body of a mottled brown adult male raptor with no other significant hide markings. Brilliant white feathers sprout from his wrists, shoulders and tail tip.
Hammond Ghar: Male - 372 - Hammond was lost in deep space, froze within a cryogenic escape capsule. What thought the system allowed him only left him to mentally shrug as the capsule slowly finished another rotation and settled into the asteroid belt of an unknown planet.
Raptor Appearance: Young adult female - Hammond's scales are tinted an icy blue and shadowed with swathes of black that seem to swallow the light around them aside from tiny speckles of icy blue glittering as if stars themselves. No feathering aside from a solid set of them on the tail tip.

Well, here is the thing. You don't know! You've never been a velociraptor before [or have you? Sneaky sneaky] but even if that is the case, you've forgotten and have just landed yourself in this bizarre world as one of "Raptor at Heart"s pack members. You'll certainly learn along the way, but if what hasn't been learned won't show up here!
Now, given the nature of this game new arrivals won't be expected to go through some lengthy learning process for the sake of keeping the story rolling. When I introduce someone new your character will be capable of the basic stuff that the pack has learned so far. It'll be silly to expect each new player or returning player's character to be taught how to jump a few feet higher by scrunching your leg muscles like so and looking to the left, right? This doesn't mean you'll know absolutely everything that is safe to eat, though.
