No, this is not an RP about the Merethic Era. Yes, this is a Jurassic Park-style RP. There. Questions done? Alright, on we go...

The year is 4E 990. Tamriel is a very different place than it once was...

In the year 4E 201, the Dragonborn came and defeated Alduin and a hoard of other monsters beside. However, after he had defeated his foe, his thirst for killing could not be sated. He hunted monsters, creatures, and simple animals until many of the species that roamed Tamriel had gone extinct.

It has been nearly 800 years since that dark time.

Now, the men and women of Tamriel know no different than the world in which they live, with its surprising lack of fauna. The few creatures that remain are peaceful, animals such as antelope, rabbits, birds, and the like.

That all changed in 4E 987, when an Imperial Wizard by the name of Malik Darkholme began to experiment with strange magics, trying to bring the fauna back to Tamriel.

He did so, with only a few minor mishaps involving changes to the animals. He was only able to bring back a few, however, not enough to repopulate Tamriel in his lifetime.

After some advice from colleagues of his, he decided to gain septims out of his powers.

He took over an island from the government of Black Marsh, and began to construct a zoo of sorts, focusing on his little playthings...

You are one of the few people invited to the zoo before it opens, in order to gauge what the public's reaction will be.

Creatures in the Park


 * Dovah: The infamous dragons of legend are very similar to those of the past. However, they have lost much of their intelligence, and the Voice that makes them strong. Their massive weight, as well, makes it difficult for them to fly without their powers. There are 2 Dovah in the park, a male, and a Dovah that was altered to be female.


 * Wamasu: The lightning-lizards of Black Marsh have lost much of their intelligence, as well. Their powers over lightning have also been dampened, however their bite is still very shocking. There are 8 Wamasu in the park, 4 male and 4 female.


 * Guar: The pack mules of ancient Morrowind are the exact same as they were in those times. There are 23 Domesticated Guard in the park, 4 Wild Guar, and 13 Bantam Guar.


 * Kagouti: The horned creatures of ancient Morrowind are nearly identical to their ancestors. However, they have gotten larger, standing well over the height of any Altmer. There are 10 Kagouti in the park, 6 female and 4 male.


 * Alit: A close relative of the Kagouti, the Alit have changed much since they were resurrected. They gained an extra set of legs, balancing them out, and they became frequent carriers of disease. There are 4 Alit in the park, 3 male and 1 female.


 * Durzog: The doglike lizards of Morrowind, the Durzogs changed very little since they were brought back to Tamriel. The only change was that they gained a large amount of intelligence, putting them almost on par with the sentient humanoids of Tamriel. There are 7 Durzogs in the park, 3 male and 4 female.


 * Dunerippers: The large monsters of Hammerfell are identical to their ancient counterparts. There are 3 in the park, 2 male and 1 female.


 * Sea Serpents: The massive, snake-like sea monsters of the ocean are identical to their ancestors. There is only one Sea Serpent in the park, a female.


 * Cats: The ancient small felines of Tamriel, cats are a domesticated pet that inhabit the island. They are identical to their ancient counterparts, but they are a bit more intelligent. There are 3 cats on the island, 2 males and a female.

Rules

1. You cannot leave the Park, whether you are alone or you are accompanied.

2. A single character can never, I repeat NEVER take down one of my beasties single handedly.

3. All characters created at the beginning will begin the RP on a boat to the island.

4. You can create as many characters as you want but try not to go overboard, only create as many as you can handle.

5. Take this RP seriously. No messing around!: If you find yourself bored, then write a flashback or a dream sequence and develop your character and if you can’t be bothered doing that, then go away and do something else for a bit.

Do not annoy others, simply because you are bored.

6. You can not kill or maim (remove the limbs off of) other player characters, without the creator’s permission. You can if they agree to it, or if the contributor has left the RP some time ago.

7. You can not be a Divine or a Daedric prince or any over powered super race.

8. You cannot be overpowered: By this I mean... ◾No avoiding damage or ignoring it: You take hits, just like you dish them out. You may block or dodge attacks but one in three must hit you. ◾No ridiculously over powered super-spells: Anything that allows you to destroy powerful enemies in one hit or gives you a majorly unfair advantage over other players and NPCs will be considered over powered. ◾You cannot destroy a building or my beasties in one post: Depending on the building’s size; you must destroy it over the course of several posts. The only exception is during Flashbacks, dream sequences or during written plot pieces (over the course of a paragraph or two). ◾‘Fridge Magic’ is also considered a form of overpoweredness. Fridge Magic is spontaneous luck, which allows the player to avoid damage or consequence for their actions, where the stars align to always make sure that one character stands tall and is completely invulnerable to whatever is thrown at them. It can be done accidentally, so it’s not treated as harshly, but please undo it if multiple people call you out on it or if the GM calls you out on it.

9. Your character can be from any province in Tamriel.

10. You can be any of the nine races. (No modded races, Half Breeds are okay and non vanilla races maybe accepted, so long as their presence makes sense.)

11. You can take control of any NPC (e.g. Toutius Sextius), as long as no one else is controlling them at the time. (Also don't go to over the top with powerful NPC's)

12. If you write a piece, you can add the occasional song or track in a link to the RP, use to state that you are adding a track.

13. You can have Flashbacks: Unless you have arrangements with another player, you cannot interact with another player’s characters in a flashback, you can with NPCs.

14. You can also write dream sequences: In a dream, most rules do not apply but only, because dreams have no bearing on the plot or actual world. Anything that happened in the dream stays in the dream; therefore dreams should only be kept to one or two post.

15. Do not forget to add a Character card…
