In 2018, dinosaurs from Isla Nublar were transported to California, where they escaped into the wild. While the outbreak by itself could have been contained and controlled, human greed caused the creatures (and the technology that created them) to proliferate across the planet. Companies began creating their own dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures, while specimens from Isla Sorna and the other Five Deaths became hot commodities to sell on the black market. In this dangerous new world, humans and dinosaurs must learn to coexist.

But that's irrelevant to you. After all, you're a Velociraptor.

The humans will do as they please, and it's in your best interest to avoid them whenever possible. But that's not always possible. They're everywhere, always encroaching further and further into the wilderness for one reason or another. And for some reason, there are many humans that seem drawn to you and your kind. Regardless of whether or not their intentions are good or bad, they present a threat.

The only question is, how are you going to respond to it?

An interesting twist, for sure, but I'm not certain how well being a Raptor is going to translate into an RP. It all but eliminates verbal interaction and reduces personalities to baseline instincts, which may prove challenging to write and bland to read.

Were you inspired by an RP that has attempted this before? I'd love to take a gander at the concept in practice.

The primary inspiration for this RP comes from the novel Raptor Red, as well as a RP on a long-defunct Jurassic Park fan forum. For an example of what I mean, you can listen to some audio excerpts from Raptor Red here and here, and read a quick excerpt here.

In the Jurassic canon, Velociraptors are shown to be incredibly intelligent, with distinct personalities and the ability to operate on intelligent thought instead of pure instinct. However the way you'd explore the world around you would be like an animal. What do you see? What do you hear? What do you smell? How do you fit into the pecking order of the pack? Do you need to worry about competition for food and territory? And if you do, how will you react to this competition?

You said Raptor Red. Sold!

Mm, looks like it'd be fun. Makes me think of warrior cats but with badass lizards, lol. Tentative on whether I'll join cause I'm tryna run slow atm, but we'll see.

I've written up a quick field guide entry for the three primary varieties of Velociraptor.

I'm quite interested

While my will to write has been sapped the last few days, I'll get a character sheet written up and posted here.

Additionally, while the three initial varieties of raptor are derived from Dominion marketing, if there's enough interest down the line, I may consider adding varieties of raptor inspired by expanded universe media. For example...
