Anime-Style "Mysterious Island" Type Role Play [With Dinosaurs!]

[Jurassic Weeb]

I had a thought: Anime-Style does not have enough legitimate dinosaurs. Pokémon and Digimon, as much as I love them, certainly do not count. I'm talking about an anime with dinosaurs in a modern sense. For example:

The idea I had is a ripoff of "Cage of Eden" this: a 747 is returning to Japan from Australia, where the senior class of Murakami Academy went for a senior trip. During the night the plane is attacked, and crash lands on an uncharted island, inhabited by dinosaurs and other prehistoric life.

Not my best idea, but it's something. Species list is below. Anything with a "♧" is a dinosaur.

Antarctopelta ♧
Cryolophosaurus ♧
Megalania
Bluff Downs giant python
Meiolania
Nambaroo
Baru
Diprotodon
Thylacoleo
Genyornis
Timimus ♧
Atlascoposaurus ♧
Australovenator ♧
Leaellynasaurua ♧
Muttaburrasaurus ♧
Thylacine
Trilophosuchus
Wintonotitan ♧
Minmi ♧
Acrocanthosaurus ♧
Aquavenator spinus ♧

What is an anime-style roleplay exactly?

[Jurassic Weeb]

Think of it as being an animal roleplay, but it's not based on any series.

[Miss24601]

I'm definitely interested!

[Apollosarcher]

Interested.

[Jurassic Weeb]

So that's two.
I've compiled a list of animals, not all of which are dinosaurs, but the majority of the animals of the list are.

[Mtntopview]

Maybe interested?

[Jurassic Weeb]

Added the species list. If there aren't enough dinosaurs, please feel free to suggest some! Speculative evolution is also nice (ie- a dinosaur descended from an unknown therizinosaur).

[Mtntopview]

Ooh ooh. Acrocanthosaurus?

[Jurassic Weeb]

I'm going with species native to the southern hemisphere, I'm this case using dinosaurs and prehistoric life from Australia, New Zealand, and Antarctica. Try and use species that may have been able to get there. I'd suggest looking at maps of different eras. ;)

EDIT- Here's an idea: in Lark Quarry, there was a trackway disvovered. The footprints belong to as-of-yet unknown dinosaurs. Any of the three could be used for a speculative evolution project.

[Mtntopview]

Aaaaaaand that's limited. Seriously, Australia New Zealand and Antarctica suck for Dino fossils.

[Jurassic Weeb]

Check my post again. Let your mind run wild.

[Mtntopview]

What about Ozraptor? Or Allosaurus (there were a few bones that resembled an Allpsaurus from New Zealand)

I'm just scraping at little tidd bits

Upon further review, I beleive you have all the major genera known from Australia.

[Jurassic Weeb]

Those bones were shown to belong to Australovenator. Then for the rest we'll use speculative species.

Per Mtntopview's insistence, Acrocanthosaurus has been added to the list as the island's top predator. One will be used for culling characters who either break rules or whose owners want to leave the RP. This will also be the cull animal for when dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals will be playable.

[Jurassic Weeb]

Bump.

[Jurassic Weeb]

Added a new creature to the list: Aquavenator spinus, a speculative evolution of the Spinosaurus.
