This is where the adventure begins. You've been hand picked by John Hammond, former CEO of InGen and the creator of the dinosaurs for the expedition and he called for the best. Post your character bio below and await approval. Follow this format. Name:Role:Stats:Equipment:Expedition Group:Bio:Name: (self explanatory) Role: * Paleontologist: A dinosaur expert, this role has the benefit of being able to more easily identify hidden dinosaurs to gather information to both complete the objective and stay safe easier. * Tracker: Someone adept in moving about in the wilderness, this class can automatically avoid environmental obstacles and has a higher chance at discovering clues as to who or what is in the area. * Engineer: At home using tools, engineers can repair broken equipment over time and have a higher chance at getting technology they come across on their journey to work again. Stats: * Choose your point values for Action, Stealth, and Skill. You have 8 points total to distribute. Equipment:* Choose what equipment you are bringing to the field. You can only pick three items maximum (four if doing a solo run) and they cannot be repeats. List can be found here.Expedition Group:* If you are partying with a group or looking for a group, say so. Bio:* A short bio on your character and who they are. Canon Characters:In addition to original characters, canon characters can be chosen. These come with additional perks and sometimes slightly higher stats. Name: Dr. Sarah Harding Role: Paleontologist Stats: * Action 4 * Stealth 3 * Skill 2 Equipment: Sarah's lucky bag (special equipment) Bio: A world renown paleontologist and zoologist, Sarah Harding has spent years both in the field studying bones and in the wilds studying modern species. After months dodging and observing African predators, she took a pause from research when her father, Dr. Gerry Harding, suddenly told her about his time as Jurassic Park veterinarian and his own escape from Isla Nublar. Name: Nick Van Owen Role: Tracker Stats: * Action 3 * Stealth 4 * Skill 2 Equipment: Nick's boltcutters (special equipment) Bio: War photographer and naturalist, Nick Van Owen has been known for taking documentation and photographs both in firefights and in the mouths of volcanoes. He also wasn't shy about doing some dangerous jobs for Greenpeace on account of Greenpeace being 80% women. More secretly however, he's a master saboteur, another reason Hammond brought him on on suspect that might come in handy. Name: Eddie Carr Role: Engineer Stats: * Action 3 * Stealth 2 * Skill 4 Equipment: Eddie's rifle (special equipment) Bio: Eddie Carr is two things. A master builder and a master tester. Having built all the equipment and vehicles the Sorna expedition will be using, he wasn't too happy about Hammond's rushed schedule, more so after Dr. Levine's bungling, meaning he couldn't thoroughly test everything. As such he decided to go along as well to both make sure everything works and be around to fix it or anything else he needs. Name: Dr. Ian Malcom Role: Paleontologist/Engineer (hybrid class, Ian can preform tasks of both on trade off of lower stats) Stats: * Action 2 * Stealth 2 * Skill 3 Equipment: Copious amounts of sass and sarcasm. Bio: Once a famous chaotician mathematician, Dr. Malcom had more than a rude curve thrown into his life when he was invited to Jurassic Park in 1993. One chase by a Tyrannosaurus and a busted leg later and he tried to blow the whistle on InGen, only to have his reputation destroyed despite Hammond's attempts. He only agreed to go as a means of rescuing any fool who sets foot on the island. Name: Kelly Malcom Role: Engineer/Tracker (hybrid class, Kelly can preform tasks of both on trade off of lower stats) Stats: * Action 2 * Stealth 3 * Skill 3 Equipment: Kelly's gymnastics skills allow her +2 on any roll requiring running, jumping, climbing, or maneuvering (almost guarantees success) Bio: Ian's daughter and the first one to hear about what he father went through on the first island, Kelly saw his life fall apart even more after what happened. Wanting to try and get her father's attention and also hearing one of her idols, Dr. Levine, was in trouble; she took her parent's advice of "Don't listen to me" a bit too serious and stowed away. |

Okay, here goes:
Name: Bill Stewarts
Role: Engineer
Stats:
*3
*2
*3
Equipment: Boltcutters, Field Guide and Radio unit
Expedition Group: (Undecided at the moment)
Bio: A private eye from the EPA, he was sent to Isla Sorna to investigate the rampant invasive dinosaurs on the island, as well as the litter and junk left behind after it's abandonment by InGen. This assignment wasn't voluntary, as the higher ups didn't like his abrasive personality and guile, which led to his 'reassignment to antarctica'. He also made a blood oath during his high school years, but who he made that oath with is a mystery.

Okay then, my turn.
Name: Randy Archer
Role: Paleontologist
Stats:
*3
*1
*4
Equipment: Medical kit, Road flare, Radio Unit
Expedition Group: (Currently undecided)
Bio: Randy Archer loved dinosaurs ever since he was a kid. He studied them all throughout collage and helped on some digs as well, even meeting the later famous Dr. Alan Grant. However, upon hearing of the incident on Isla Nubar, his love for the once great creatures tempered off somewhat. Until one day when he was asked along as a consultant for the Isla Sorna expedition. It is up to him to act as a guide for the others and ensure their survival against creatures perfected by 65 million years of evolution.

Name: Gary Paladecki
Role:Tracker
Action:3
Stealth:3
Skill:2
Equipment:Tranquilizer, Binoculars, and Ka-Bar Knife
Expedition Group:undecided
Bio:A sensitive nature lover at heart, he always preferred to deal with animals rather than the academic subjects of highschool. He lost his father on an automobile accident, and suffering from the resulting grief, had a falling out with a close friend. He eventually went to work for an environmental NGO before being hired by Hammond as a field scout for the expedition to Isla Sorna. He has an antagonistic relationship with Bill Stewarts for unspecified reasons.
Remade Bio: A sensitive and excitable nature lover at heart, he had always preferred to deal with animals near his outdoors home rather than the dull subjects of school and his classmates with his social anxiety in his childhood. He had lost his father on a car accident during his highschool years, and suffering from the resulting grief lacking a proper coping method, had a falling out with his close childhood friend, and sworn blood brother, Bill Stewarts. Falling out of touch with his closest friend became Gary's biggest regret in his life, and afterwards, he resolved to strengthen both his mind and body as he grew into adulthood. He eventually came to be employed by InGen, under the tutelage of Muldoon as they managed InGen's African Preserve as Game Wardens before Jurassic Park. Gary was left to manage things in Africa as Muldoon traveled to Nublar to oversee the construction of Jurassic Park. In the aftermath of the tragic Nublar incident, as preparations for the Sorna Expedition began. Hammond turned towards Gary and assigned him to the Expedition as the team's field scout due to the experience Gary had garnered in Africa serving as Muldoon's protege and Right-Hand Man. Now that Gary has been placed into the InGen-EPA Survey Expedition on Site B, could his abilities be sufficient enough to lead his team through one of the most dangerous environments on Earth alive? And will he be able to reconcile with his old friend and fellow expedition member, Bill Stewarts, who he has not spoken to in years?

[Note: I'm making 2 characters, because one I'd discussed with Tarb and, while plausible lore-wise, is very likely to wind up 'dead' rather fast and has a wierd stat set-up due to her unusual nature, the other is a bit easier to manage]
Name: Hallie We'en
Role: Tracker
Stats:
Action: 3
Stealth: 2
Skill: 3
Equipment: Bolt Cutters, Binoculars, Ghillie Suit
Expedition Group:unknown[possibly alongside Ian Malcolm]
Bio: Professional gear tester for Professor Wylder, Hallie made use of the often experimental gear she was given for the purposes of handling her predominant duties with G-Force as a post-disaster Search and Rescue leader. After being contacted by John Hammond to assist in the search and rescue of Doctor Levine, she contacted Theodore for any new gear that could be useful. Upon finding there was none, she set off to join the myriad groups sent by Mr. Hammond to Isla Sorna.
Name: Travis Sans Gaster
Role: Tracker
Stats:
Action: 3
Stealth: 3
Skill: 2
Equipment: Scope, Assault Rifle, Radio Unit
Expedition Group: Unknown
Bio: Formerly a 'jerk jock', Travis Gaster joined the US Armed Forces not long after high school, in search of a chance to prove his worth as a fighter. After several years of service, he was honorably discharged and went to work taking jobs as needed to pay the bills. After being contacted by John Hammond to explore Isla Sorna and knowing that an old friend of his had been sent there as well, he opted to take the job as what he fears may be his swan song. Or will it be a chance for the phoenix to rise?

Hmm I wonder if Tarb would allow these two to be our rescue team at the end?

Though I mainly added Hallie because I think it'd be funny to have what is basically a roadrunner and coyote skit to 'get my feet wet' while Travis is much much closer to something befitting the setting. [All else fails the robotic halloween kitty can serve as a distrction for deadly predators] |

Yes, we know. We're just wondering if his/her two characters will be allowed a cameo as the Mauve Shirts' rescue team.

You know, this is set in the Bridge-verse, right? I've been in contact with tarb so, yes, I know it's set in the Amalgamverse[AKA the universe tarb created for The Bridge, that's what he cals it]. Both of these characters are moderately prominent side-characters in a prequel me and shane are working on for HS. |

Fine accepting Hallie, just tweak to make her a human. I'm sorry but you literally will not survive at all if you go to Sorna as a robot.

This makes the 'canon' a bit difficult with her but I'll rolll with it. I think the 'hard' part is redoing her backstory to explain why she's there. maybe she's a companion of Travis'?

Yup. Just a hoomin who happens to be wearing a [for its time] hihg-tech search and rescue suti that makes her look like a cute kitty. Because that's the result of ana rtist doing an engineer's job[and not screwing it up] |

Cut the wraith suit and integrated equipment, and we're good. Special equipment is reserved for pre-made characters.

Ohh Sir, you just got kicked down yet again.
EDIT: Seriously, I think it'll be better to keep Hallie an NPC. Sure, she still has name and personality, but she's being stripped of what's making her "her" if you get what I mean.

Ohh Sir, you just got kicked down yet again. No offense is intended, but it's for some realism here. As well as continuity. The groups and scientists for making the crazy tech for the GDF and Langoud aren't a factor yet. This story takes place in 1997, several years before the GDF even exists as at the time it's still G-Force and CCI; neither of which have any reason to get involved nor would the tech groups like Langoud be a thing. |
