In the 22nd century, mankind finally unlocked the secrets of time travel. But in the species' infinite wisdom, they decided that the best use for this new technology was to send remotely-operated drones to film history unseen. Equipped with the latest stealth technologies, the practice went on for almost a decade. But like all shows, they began losing viewers. Then someone high in the chain of command had an idea.
"What if we broadcast the extinction of the dinosaurs on live, international television?"
And so the planning began. Never had something of this magnitude been attempted. While it was relatively easy to send a drone back to D-Day, or the Battle of Gettysburg (so long as you had a precise day and year), sending drones back over a million years had never been attempted, never mind sixty-five million. But as the old saying goes, money talks. And despite the outcry from the scientific community, the plan went through.
But something went wrong. As the scientists had predicted, the drones were sent back at the wrong time. By their estimates, months or even years had passed since the asteroid had crashed into Earth. An unforeseen fluctuation in the time-space continuum opened up portals between the past and present, allowing starving dinosaurs to run rampant across the world, even from different time periods than the Cretaceous.
While the dinosaurs and other prehistoric beasts could be easily contained, the diseases they brought with them could not. Bacteria and viruses unknown to man spread like wildfire, crippling civilization until only pockets of the human race were left. The dinosaurs spread across the earth, beginning an era where man must fight tooth and claw to survive some of the most successful creatures to ever walk the face of the planet.
That's what the grown-ups always told us. But that was over a hundred years ago, and in the town of Vida, California, life's been relatively safe. But you won't be a kid forever. May as well make the most of it.
Name
(Your character's name)
Age
(Your character's age; 13-18 years is preferable)
Gender
(To quote a handful of famous professors, "Are you a boy or a girl?")
Appearance
(Your character's height, their usual clothing, and other physical features)
Personality
(What is your character like? What makes them tick?)
Background
(Your character's backstory; please include at least a single paragraph)
Miscellaneous
(Anything that doesn't fit anywhere else, like personal belongings, likes and dislikes, family members, pets, etc.)
So that's the interest check. The story would mostly follow the youths of Vida, California, and their interactions with each other, the community, and the wildlife outside the village walls. For the most part, this would be slice of life, but a slice of life where outside the walls of your city are dangerous animals. I'm trying to think of a good comparison, but frankly I can't think of one.
Shirona was happy to get on everyone's good side for the time being. The others seemed to like their gifts, particularly Lindy, who almost looked like she'd disappear in her new hoodie. "I'm glad you like them," she said. "Please take good care of them. Some of them were hard to get a hold of. Especially that lamp, Wèi Lái."

The major glanced Mir over before speaking to him again. "No need to salute for the time being. I've seen your file, Corporal. You've been through a lot. You're a team player, you focus on the mission at hand. But, most importantly for this assignment, you don't hate the Tenshi. So relax, try to get to know these kids, and get some rest, because the hard part starts tomorrow."
Finally got a post out. Once again, I am incredibly sorry that I delayed the RP for so long. Covid suspended our school so now I have more time on my hands.
Name / Nickname: Eira Lindir Age: 16 Gender: Female Nationality: Northern outskirts of the Imperial Federation. Moved around a lot, but more often than not, Eira lived in small towns, out in the countryside, or even in caravans.
ᴘʜʏsɪᴄᴀʟ
Appearance:Image; Eira stands at roughly 4'9" (144.78 centimeters); she has a tattoo of her family crest on her left shoulder. Species: Half-Elf Physical Abilities/Skills: Physical abilities fall between a human and en elf, save for her speed, which is subpar for humans.
ᴍᴀɢɪᴄᴀʟ
Magical Style: Familiar combat magic (specializes in making pacts with monsters and summoning them to fight; it's not odd for her to summon them to run tasks for her, much to their chagrin); currently has contracts with an Umbra Drake (known as Ripper), and a peregrine wyvern known as Ancal Magical Quirks: When summoning a familiar, runes appear on her body, and when a familiar is summoned, she speaks ONLY in their language. Magical Skills, Hobbies and Interests: Able to understand and speak with most monsters
ᴘᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟ
Why are they enrolled in Fae Creek Academy?: Expelled from multiple academies for late payments, and has a family friend on the staff who vouched for her. Personality: Normally quiet and serious, people often wonder why Eira's attending a school like Fae Creek Academy. She does her best to do her schoolwork and avoid breaking the rules. Her familiars aren't weird, niche creatures like bugs, rats, or slimes (in fact, she's quite proud that her two familiars are "pretty cool"). However, she'll do nearly anything for food, books, or money (as long as it doesn't go against her morals or sully her pride). In fact, it's quite rare to see her without either a book or food. Backstory: Eira never knew her mother, and grew up traveling with her father, who was a merchant. At a young age, she showed some promise with magic, and was enrolled at an academy... where, thanks to late payments to the school, she was kicked out. This repeated for several years, until Eira's father was killed by a wild monster. For a few years, she wandered around the Imperial Federation, mostly doing odd jobs involving repelling monsters. A year and a half ago, a friend of her father's tracked her down, and offered to enroll her at Fae Creek. Eira eagerly accepted, realizing too late that the school wasn't very good. But it was better than nothing, so she went along with it. General Skills, Hobbies and Interests: Reading, observing animals and monsters and narrating to herself in a strange accent, listening to music, and eating.
