Jurassic Park
by Sunwolf007 Wed Oct 26, 2011 1:14 am
Don't know what it is about this idea but every once in a while I get this idea to run an RP like this. I haven't ran it here yet so it should be interesting. Anyway all information below is at least a year old and I must go over it to bring it up to what I consider FoG standards if I end up running this. Since I like a small group of RPers I will let people create 2 characters to fill out the cast. What it boils down to is the characters we make will replace the cannon characters from the movie and be placed in similar situations as the movie/book of Jurassic Park. I have all the details here just for my own sanity and for easy reference for everyone. If I get enough interest I will update the RP and run it. If you are interested keep reading to see what I am talking about. If you have any suggestions don't be afraid to let me know.
Basic Information:
Ok this RP is going to run along the sameish story line as the Movie Jurassic Park. With the exception it will be our characters running around instead of cannon characters. So like in the movie 40% of the characters that are in this RP will die (4 of the main 10 characters die in the move that’s where I get 40%). If more than 40% kick the bucket that’s just fine. That doesn’t mean you can’t have more than one character.
Anyway the Board of Directors is putting pressure on the Owner of the Park to prove that the island is truly safe and an accurate portrayal of what Dinosaurs would act and look like. They want professionals as well as tourists flocking to the park. The Park is scheduled to open in the next year so all the personal would be there preparing the park for its grand opening, as well as a few construction crews.

I would like to give a shout out to Jurassic Park Legacy. Without that site this RP would be in much sorrier shape. You need to know anything Jurassic Park related that is where you should look first.

Map
- Spoiler:
- Unknown if we will have a map at this time. If someone is good at Photoshop and wants to help me out that would be awesome. Anyway here is a written description of the island:
The Visitor’s Center was the welcome area for visitors as well as the location of the staff’s offices on the island. Due to it’s importance it was the first building finished on the island. In it was the central computer system that ran almost the entire park from the Control Room. Everything from security to automatic feeding was controlled from that room. As he entered the Center there was a big display map on the right wall. It showed the island and how it was divided into seven different areas but only six had dinosaurs in them. The area most north on the island was separated from the dinosaurs due to the landing pad for the helicopters being there as well as the power generating buildings. The Visitor’s Center and Hotel were placed in the south part of this section. The next area to the south was for the Triceratops and Stegosaurus. They were going to be first on the tour. The next area to the south was for the Dilophosaurus. The area next was for the Tyrannosaurus Rex. After that came the Utahraptor section which was split down the middle to separate the two raptor groups. Off on the east part of the island a large dome section was indicated as Aviary which housed the Pteranodons and the Baryonyx. Finally the furthest south part of the island and by far the largest section was for the Brachiosaurs and the Pachycephalosaurus. There was a tour car road that ran along the fences that separated each area. There were other maintenance roads that crisscrossed the island and some of those were underground. These roads led to bunkers in each fenced in section that housed automatic feeders for the animals inside. They were also used for storage. Over the last three years James had been over every square inch of the island at least twice.

Sir Franklin Clifton [Sunwolf007]
- Spoiler:
Name: Sir Franklin Clifton
Job / Profession: Owner of the Park and CEO of InGen
Age: 77
Description:
Bio:
Born to a wealthy family in the UK he grew up needing nothing and having everything. His father was a successful businessman and land owner. Franklin went to the best schools money could buy and was incredibly good at school. After college he became involved in his father’s business and because of his success (and charitable donations to public works) he was knighted. He started up InGen with the hope of creating a completely new market. He would make his name go down in history as the creator of the world’s next great wonder. Years later his dream is about to come true.
Dr. James Malone [Sunwolf007]
- Spoiler:
- Name: Dr. James Malone
Job / Profession: Paleontologist working for Jurassic Park
Age: 33
Description:
Bio:
James had no idea what he wanted to do with his life. He always wanted to do something with Dinosaurs because he was absolutely fascinated by them. Through the years he read everything he could and his fascination continued through high school. He always wanted to know what made them think the way they did, how their brain was structured, and how it worked. Then in college he took one class that changed his life. Psychology. It combined all the elements he loved. The science of how a brain is structured and how it works with the behavior and mental processes of that brain’s structure. He always dreamed of applying this to dinosaurs but settled on animal behavior. He would never work on humans because he considered them used to often in psychology. He finished his Masters and started working as a professor while still trying to attain his degree in Paleontology. He traveled around the country during his summers meeting with Paleontologists and researching but he was met with a lot of resistance in the scientific field. It was hard to guess where every portion of the brain was located when all you had was a skull. His research was published recently and he has gained some notable criticism as well as respect. Soon after that was when InGen contacted him to come to an island. They could use his skills to understand how to tighten behavioral control of the dinosaurs and increase park safety by either adding behavioral changing chemicals to the food supply or genetically engineering the dinosaurs to have different brain chemistry. He has been only working there about 3 years.
Jurassic Park Visitors:
Dinosaurs
Note that all the statistics are for fully gown dinosaurs
Name: Tyrannosaurus Rex
- Spoiler:
Name: Tyrannosaurus Rex
Population: 2
Diet: Carnivore
Height at the hips: 13 feet
Length: 40 feet
Weight: 6 to 8 tons
Top Speed: 20 – 25 MPH
Exert from James Malone’s research: I was surprised greatly that our two Tyrannosaurus Rex get along so well. Behavior suggests that the T. Rex grouped together in family groups. The two sticking together must be due to the instinct of the two T. Rex to stick together. Behavior like this is similar to the modern day Wolf. This is proof that the T. Rex were pack hunters and hint at a higher social order. Our T. Rex now have changed habits and are constantly roaming their pen. This suggests that they also were scavengers as well as hunters. With their impressive sense of smell they could easily find live prey as well as recently deceased animals from miles away. I can only assume that they are searching for a way out of the electric fences.
Name: Dilophosaurus
- Spoiler:
Name: Dilophosaurus
Population: 6
Diet: Carnivore
Height: 7 feet
Length: 22 feet
Weight: 1.1 tons
Top Speed: 20 – 25 MPH
Exert from James Malone’s research: Dilophosaurus, like suggested it is a nonsocial animal but has learned to get along like the Utahraptor. I can’t stress enough on how that behavior is environmental as well as instinct. While all the other Dinosaurs of our park are female our Dilophosaurus are all male. This suggests that only the males have the crests which imply that the crests are used for displays of dominance as well as now needed display for social order. I have seen that the Dilophosaurus with the largest crest runs the group of Dilophosaurus.
Name: Utahraptor
- Spoiler:
Name: Utahraptor
Population: 8
Diet: Carnivore
Height: 6.6 feet
Length: 21 feet
Weight: 1,500 lbs
Top Speed: 40 – 45 MPH
Exert from James Malone’s research: Like theorized these raptors are incredibly intelligent. They have problem solving capabilities much like the modern day Chimpanzee. They have sophisticated pack hunting behavior as well as a complex social order. They naturally formed two different groups each with an alpha female. We had to separate the two groups due to fighting between themselves over food. We also were forced to release live game into the pens to stop them from taking out their aggression on each other.
Name: Baryonyx
- Spoiler:
Name: Baryonyx
Population: 3
Diet: Fish eater
Height at the hips: 16 feet
Length: 28 feet
Weight: 1.7 tons
Top Speed: 15 – 20 MPH
Exert from James Malone’s research: Like theory suggested Baryonyx eats mostly fish and fishes like the modern Grizzly Bear. With it’s long neck and powerful arms it spends most of its time at the lakeshore or riverbank. Eats mostly fish but will also scavenge anything that it can find. Also like the modern Grizzly, Baryonyx will eat things smaller than itself. I have seen them take down Pteranodons that wonder to close. Due to their diet of mainly fish we had to house the three Baryonyx in the aviary with the Pteranodons located in the largest area where fish naturally gather in the river.
Name: Pteranodon
- Spoiler:
Name: Pteranodon
Population: 13
Diet: Fish eater
Height (head to foot): 10 feet 2 inch
Length (wingspan): 32 feet
Weight: 154
Top Speed: 25 MPH (flying) 1MPH (walking)
Exert from James Malone’s research: Like modern day birds they have the same social order. They hunt alone but yet group together at night like modern bats. I have seen their curiosity be the end of them. They often wander to close to the Baryonyx which considers them a quick meal. The also often get to close to the walls and injure their wings. They haven’t seen the cleaning crews who clean the aviary but one can only wonder what would happen if they caught sight of a smaller creature wondering into their territory.
Name: Brachiosaurs
- Spoiler:
Name: Brachiosaurs
Population: 6
Diet: Herbivore
Height to the top of the head: 51 feet
Length: 82 feet
Weight: 60 tons
Top Speed: 5 MPH
Exert from James Malone’s research: Brachiosaurs seem to have a grouping behavior while they were younger but now they roam their pen independently of each other. They spend their every waking moment eating, due to the need to feed to get enough energy to continue living. This implies that their instincts grouped them together during their youth to protect them from predators yet once they reach full size they worry more about eating enough to survive.
Name: Triceratops
- Spoiler:
Name: Triceratops
Population: 9
Diet: Herbivore
Height to the top of the crest: 15 feet
Length: 35 feet
Weight: 7 tons
Top Speed: 10 – 15 MPH
Exert from James Malone’s research: Triceratops behave mostly like the modern day cattle. There is a social order although it is determined on which wins in sparring with it’s own species. This aggression in the females suggests that the males were much more aggressive and also sparred to determine dominance. Also like modern day cattle the Triceratops herd together and roam around their area grazing on grasses.
Name: Stegosaurus
- Spoiler:
Name: Stegosaurus
Population: 7
Diet: Herbivore
Height to the top of the plates: 19 feet
Length: 40 feet
Weight: 7 tons
Top Speed: 5 – 10 MPH
Exert from James Malone’s research: I have never worked with an animal this large that is this dumb. Stegosaurus doesn’t care about anything around it unless it makes an unusual noise. Even the sounds of the predators that can be heard across the island at times do not phase them. This is mostly due to them not being exposed to hunters thinning their herd as they grew up. They also took the longest to learn that the fence was the boundary that they couldn’t touch. Many of the Stegosaurus were shocked more than a dozen times before they learned. They behave much like the modern Cow. They group together regardless of family and have group behavior but no social order that I can define as of yet.
Name: Pachycephalosaurus
- Spoiler:
Name: Pachycephalosaurus
Population: 13
Diet: Herbivore
Height: 5 feet
Length: 13 feet
Weight: 800 pounds
Top Speed: 10 – 15 MPH
Exert from James Malone’s research: Incredibly territorial animals. We attempted to put the first group of Pachycephalosaurus in with the Triceratops and Stegosaurus but they had nasty habit of consistently attacking the other dinosaurs. Due to the young age of the whole group of the Pachycephalosaurus I though it was just a phase but as the group grew they still retained their territorial tendencies. For fear of the Pachycephalosaurus injuring the other dinosaurs we were forced to put them in a separate pen. Then after a while we merged the Brachiosaurs into the Pachycephalosaurus pen, which went spectacularly. I surmised that after close study the Pachycephalosurus only attacked animals that eat the same food as they did.

If this RP gets going, I'd love to join. I'd be interested in the Security Consultant role. Either that or the Head of Security/Warden job.

Please check the dates of threads before trying to revive them. If you are really interested in a year-expired role-play, I would suggest PM'ing the creator to see if he is still interested. If not, I would suggest using the idea to make your own role-play. Thank you for understanding!
