"Something is happening in the sky... The sky is opening up-!"


On May 16th, 2020, all contact was lost with Yamada Airlines Flight 217. The plane, a passenger flight traveling from Guam to Tokyo, reported a loss of power and altitude before going radio silent. After months of searching, nothing was found. No wreckage, no bodies, no survivors. It was as if the Flight had simply vanished into thin air. Rumors circulated, with one name consistently popping up in conspiracy circles.

The Devil's Sea.

Records showed that Flight 217's trajectory projected the airliner flying through the region. With a reputation akin to the Bermuda Triangle, stories had circulated about the Devil's Sea for decades: disappearing ships, mysterious lights, strange beasts seen by seafarers. But that's just an urban legend.

... Right?


Okay, so the setting of the RP is heavily inspired by the manga "Cage of Eden", with elements borrowed from other sources, including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Lost World", "Land of the Lost", and the Jurassic Park franchise. The characters of the RP will be stranded in a strange land populated by dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. But in a survival situation, man can be more dangerous than any beast.

The creatures of the RP, though given speculative traits for rule of cool/scary/plot, will endeavor to be as scientifically accurate as possible. For example, if a pack of Velociraptors is encountered, they will be feathered and turkey-sized instead of scaly and as large as a man.

The two main parts of the RP will be survival and exploring the new land. Several mini-arcs are planned as of now, though I would appreciate input for future scenarios from RP players.

I would appreciate any and all feedback.

A character sheet for your use! Because of one very important aspect of the RP, I want all character sheets submitted to me via PM. These will be added to the Character section with one part removed, which will become a part of the RP.

Name: (your character's name; many people on Flight 217 are from Japan, but there are other nationalities aboard)
Age: (main characters should be at least 18)
Appearance: (use an image or description if you like)
Occupation: (your character's job)
Personality: (what is your character like?)
Biography: (your character's history; at least one paragraph, please)
Their Secret: (this will be removed from the CS by the GM, and used to provide plot points and/or drama)
Other Important Information: (anything that doesn't fit into the other sections)

No rush! Though I plan on my character being the resident dinosaur expert, if that helps.

@VeyrinDay I promise that major characters will have plot armor. However expect injuries, illness, and the like for the sake of drama.

Okay, so we have three characters. I'm hoping to get one or two more before kicking things off, but if we don't get any more interest by Friday, I'll post the OoC.
