Ooh, yay! Species: GorgosaurusGender: Female Age: 21 Length: 20 ft (6.5 m) long Height: 7.3 ft (2.3 m) tall at the hips Weight: 2 tons Color: Dark brown on top of body, regular brown below that, green below that and tan on legs and belly. Has vertical black squigly stripes all over her body. Brown claws and yellow eyes. Has a brown mask on her face. Location(s): Raised in the Hatchery, wanders Dinotopia, usually in the Rainy Basin. Hobbies: Wandering, raising chicks. Oh yeah, collecting things like teeth, claws, beeds, shells and feathers to attach to ropes on the top of her staff. Language: Can speak human, but it is very hard for her to do so and, when she does, it's with a heavy accent which is a bit hard to understand. She tends to speak the basic language spoken by the basin carnivores.

Name: Dwaggie
Gender: I am a male.
Species: I am a Western Dragon.
Length: I am about 180 feet long
Height: I am 33 feet
Weight: about 11 tons.
Weapon: I breathe a beam of flames or fire, a beam of cold or frost, and, a beam of electricity or lightning.
Age: 152 years
Location: The Outer Island
Physical Description: I'm a slender, green dragon, with dark green down the back, and yellow under sides. I have big yellow wings, 3 talons on my hands, and 3 big claws on my paws, and a bladed tail.
Irritability: I will defend my honour, but I will only attack with reason. But when I get angry, I hope you like barbecue! ;D
P.S. I don't do much RPing, considering that I'm a dragon. I just use this character because I like dragons. And I may not RP at all here.

Species: Human Gender: Male Age: 17
Height: 5' 5'' Weight: 138 Lbs. Hair: Red Eyes: Brown
Birthplace: The Outside World Location: Wanders around Dinotopia
Hobbies: Exploring, Singing, and Playing music from his homeland
Native Language: English Other Languages: French, German, Latin, and understands a few phrases in the common Dinotopian tounge
Personality: He is shy, when it comes to strangers, but can be highly charismatic when need be. He is a profound swordman, and pistoleer, and loves to show off his tricks (including pistol twirling, quick shooting, poker shot, and many others).
His favorite hobby, though, is singing and play music from his native home. He knows how to play many instruments, including the fiddle, drum, bugle, piano, and fife. He loves many songs, and can memorize them the first time he hears them, though his favorite is, of course, Dixie. Even though he is an exceptional instrumentalist and vocalist, he does not like to perform for audiences. He is always willing to help others, whenever he can. He is very kind and gentle by nature, but can be ferocious, and deadly when the time calls for it.
This human is a brilliant strategist, and has won many engagements against almost impossible odds, during his service during one of the many outsider's wars. He sees himself as a modern knight, and follows as many codes of chivalry as he can. Also, since he sees himself as a knight, he has not discarded his uniform, or weapons. Usually he wears a greatcoat, to conceal his saber and handgun from public's eye.

Language: Raptor and carnosaurian

Name: DJ Applejack
Species: Human Gender: Male Age: Undecided/variable
Height: Undecided Weight: Undecided Hair: Undecided Eyes: Undecided
Birthplace: United States, North East Coast Location: Undecided/variable
Hobbies: Books, Occult, History Native Language: English
NOTES: I'm not even sure if I'm going to RP at all, since I've never done this before. I'm basically using this character from my stories since I'm not inclined to invest more brain power than I have to in a single character at this point. The characteristics of the character are temporary. I may decide to change them once I nail down my decision, but not after I start RPing.

I'd switch the occult thing, considering the aversion -- rightly so, usually -- to the supernatural in Dinotopia RPs. Maybe switch it up to a study of ancient Dinotopian myths, legends, and symbols? Like a Dan Brown character on Dinotopia...could come in handy considering all the exploration that goes on in these rps...

Ya know, it looks mystical and all, but it's really naturalism that's beyond the current comprehension of mankind. Besides, in the case of the RP, the occult thingy won't be real. It's just an interesting diversion. It's just to give an idea of what the character is in to. - Aric

You'll learn that over the course of the RP as you gain my character's trust.

Hey Stouthorn, how come you didn't post your stats and stuff. All I know about you is that you're a triceratops historian or archaeologist.

I didn't think I needed any introduction. j/k...I'll post right now. Name: Stouthorn the Wise Species: Triceratops horridusGender: Male Age: 105 Height: 5m Length: 8.5m Weight: 6 tons Hair: n/a Eyes: green Birthplace: Pooktook Location: Sauropolis Hobbies: History, archaeology Native Language: Ceratopsian, with a distinctly Triceratops accent. Other: Stouthorn was not always known as "the Wise." In fact, in his youth, Stouthorn was considered brash and foolish. Son of Steelbone, Stouthorn came from a long line of highly regarded Triceratopses; according to rumor, Stouthorn's ancestors had served as advisors to some of Dinotopia's greatest ancient kings -- Stouthorn himself never believed these rumors. As a youth, Stouthorn bridled under the pressures put upon him by his lineage, and sought to rebel against his heritage, proving himself to be capable of all sorts of mischief. As soon as he was old enough, Stouthorn joined the caravans that left from Bonabba, donning armor and fending off Tyrannosaurs with zeal, a hobby that worried his parents to a great degree. It was on one of these expeditions that Stouthorn became seperated from the caravan during a fray with a pack of Allosaurs, and entered the forbidden territory of the Kings. The ruins astonished him but, when he was confronted by the guardians of the secrets there kept -- most notably a Giganotosaurus by the name of Stinktooth -- he departed, and agreed to tell no one of what he had seen. The wonders he saw, and curiosity as to the nature of the secret guarded by the carnosaurs, bred in Stouthorn a love for history and archaeology that remains with him to this day.

Okay, here's mine. If I can't RP in here for some reason... then delete me. Oh... and btw... for those of you who don't know me. May I have two chars? Because Celeea is always with me.

Language: All raptor languages, carnosaurian, english, human, troodon, a tiny bit of skybax. (She learns things from her travels.)

(OT: You can have more than one. I don't think there's even a limit to how many characters you can have, yet.)
