Hey guys! Leafie is about to make her grand entrance! However I am currently applying for a job. If I land this job I won't be available to rp or to talk from 8 am to 4 pm. Sorry for any inconvenience!

2
Okay! I'll make sure to do that!

3
I am ready to roleplay now~!
Though I need to know exactly what's going on right now and where everyone is. So I don't mess up the time and location!

4
Ohhh I like that idea! It would be a fun to see how each character would cross it haha. I imagine Leafie would find a safe way to climb down and then try to climb up the other side but fail miserably and keep landing on her behind XD. Since she loves climbing so much, and she would be very stubborn about it until the others convinced her that trying to climb up from where she is, isn't going to work haha

5
Thank you all for helping me out with my character! She's finally ready to go and be brought to life! I cannot WAIT to start rping her and having her develop more! As soon as I get the all clear to post, it's show time for Leafie~

6
I have upped her age up to five and a half years. I hope that this will suffice. She's almost six but still a young child.

7
I'll change it again.

8
I have edited her bio!

Yep, this is perfect here. I'll add it to the masterpost on the first page if I don't forget :P (on my phone now = pain)

Just two minor things I noticed.

1. I think all of us were referencing human age when deciding on how old our characters are. Leafie would still be very young, hardly able to talk etc. If you went with the current age. I'm not a paleo nut after all so I wouldn't know how long these creatures needed to grow up :P

2. Just in case you missed this, our little group is not supposed to ever find the Great Valley. Wherever we are, it's awfully far away. The original idea is having a similar storyline than the original LBT but with different characters and locations. Like... I don't think any canon characters will ever appear in here.

We still didn't quite agree on a final destination and I think leaving that open for a while longer might benefit the story after all :) However it is further north where the climate is cooler. I think we had some interesting concepts some pages earlier in this thread so whenever the need arises to debate this further we could still revisit that for inspiration.

Oh and 3. Again I'm no paleo nut so I actually never heard of Leafie's species. What kind of dinosaur is she? (Maybe try to come up with a LBT-ish name for her species? :P)


I'm sure it'll be interesting to have her in my group. If you have any ideas on how to meet each other feel free to let me know so we can coordinate a little bit (which is my preferred RP-style, doing some rough planning while still leaving everyone enough freedom)
Okay lemme fix some things up in her bio then! So I can correct those two things!

Name: Leafie

Species: Edaphosaurus (( She's a lizard with a small sail crest on her back. )) Her diet consists of plants, berries mollusks, and possibly bugs. Scientsists are still not sure if they are carnivores of small prey like smaller lizards and such or thry are herbivores. Due to this uncertainty I'm going to call her an omnivore just because it's uncertain. Now as for what everyone else should call her. Well she's a land lizard and has a sail crest on her back. So maybe they'd call her Small Sailback or Tiny Sailback?

Gender: Female

Age: five and a half years almost six (( a very young child ))

Personality: Leafie is skittish, fearful and weary around those she doesn’t know well. Her true personality blooms when she becomes comfortable around others and she knows them well. She’s rather bashful and shy, but can be a real chatterbox sometimes. She’s also very passionate about sticking up for her friends and she can surprise others by acting braver than she actually is. Leafie is afraid of a lot of things, especially loud thunder. She can handle low tumbles and low booms of thunder but not loud ones. She absolutely adores rain and will go out and play in it and puddles. She loves to swim even though she isn’t a swimmer and she shouldn’t really be swimming due to her being cold blooded. Leafie has odd phrases she likes to live by and can be really eccentric. Leafie is complex as well as goofy as all kids can be. Leafie biggest fear are Sharpteeth, Fast Biters especially. Her other fears are not finding her adoptive long neck family and perishing along the way.

Appearance: Leafie is a minty green Edaphosaurus, she has white specks on her face, back and legs. She has a light yellow frill on her back and her eyes are a beautiful rare blue. Her underbelly is also a light yellow and her claws are ivory hued.

Family:  Unknown Edaphosaurus parents and possibly siblings. Her adoptive long neck mother Starla and her adoptive long neck father Thunderwhip. Along with her adoptive brother Dusk and adoptive sister Dawn, they aren’t related to Starla or Thunderwhip! Starla and Thunderwhip adopted Dusk and Dawn after they lost their only hatchling to Fastbiters. Leafie’s adoptive grand parents are Silver and Ophira on Starla’s side and then there’s Bloom and Buck from Thunderwhip side.

Backstory: Leafie was stolen away from her family’s nest before she was born. As an egg she was saved by Dusk and Dawn, after hatching Dusk and Dawn’ sparents Starla and Thunderwhip adopted Leafie as their own. Even though she wasn’t a long neck! Leafie faced awful abuse and prejudice within the herd of long necks. Despite the best efforts of her adoptive family, Leafie still felt like an outcast. One day some other long necks in the herd lured Leafie away into Fastbiter territory, pushing her down into a cave. They left her there to die. Leafie however, escaped with her life and only received a bite scar on her tail as a painful reminder of what happened. Finding herself lost, Leafie tried to remember how to get home. However the great Earthshake happened and her adoptive long neck family ended up on the other side of the divide. Now she tries to brave the unknown by herself, weary of other dinosaurs since she’s faced much more prejudice since being out on her own. She often hides away when she can, either in between rocks, up in scarce trees where some food remains, in dried up bushes, caves and small holes. Her favorite places to hide are caves and small holes, ironic due to the fact that she almost died in a cave in Fastbiter territory.

I didn't know where to put this. But here's a little Bio about Leafie! I hope you like it!

11
I think I'll have her bump into Lizzie's group. Maybe Lizzie finds her and tries to convince her to go with them and such? But for right now I'm going to make an introduction post her character and we'll see where her story progresses from there?

12
So uhm how should I introduce my character into the rp? I'm unsure cause I don't want to just hop in without a plan and without approval first.

Good idea. I was gonna suggest using strawpoll but must have forgotten in my hurry :o
Well it's been a few hours. And it looks like Fern/Leafie is staying strong with 2 votes. It looks like she won that voting poll. Now all I need to do is settle on her name. Do you think Fern makes more sense or Leafie? I'm leaning more towards Leafie myself.

I've made a poll to help me decide. Because I honestly don't know which character to choose.

After reading these descriptions, I think that Fern/Leafie is my favorite!
To be honest I kinda want to rp as Fern/Leafie as well! I'm sorta leaning a lot towards her now that I think about it. But I want to see what others think first.

17
I've been roleplaying since I was 9, I'm 22 years old now and going on 23 this coming April. That means I've been rping for almost 13 years now. I've roleplayed Warrior Cats, Sonic rps, Undertale Rp, Original characters rps, and many many more. As for my rps right now? I'm a big fan of Disney and such so I'm rping Disney characters with close friends! So yes, I am indeed no stranger to roleplay~

Well, aeeing as most other dinosaurs would think it's ugly and probably make fun of them often and well with the Diplocaulus needing water sources to soak in for a while, the issue of being slowed down is brought up. Which could make some of the group be impatient towards the Diplocaulus. And be like: She's putting the group in danger! Why are we even trying to help her. Without water for her to soak in she'd be too ill to move or dead. What if we come across a long stretch of land with no water or anything? Then she'd just be dead weight!

Then there's Misty. The conflict could come from her sticking our and being like a beacon for hungry predators. And well since she's a runt she'd probably have a harder time keeping up. Possibly even being slightly weaker than the other and having a hard time getting around obstacles or over them. Say like they have to climb up on some rocks. It would be difficult because Misty is a runt and she'd have to figure out a way for her to climb.


Then there's the Fern/Leafie. The Edaphosaurus. Once again there would be the issue of being easily spotted due to her color scheme. She's a minty green and that really doesn't offer any favor to their environment. Since there's hardly and greenery around Minty would have a hard time hiding from predators if/when the group encounters them. Fern/Leafie could also be weary of other species than her own. Due to how she was treated by those that weren't her own kind. Plus she'd probably run into more prejudice dinosaurs along her journey other than the long necks from her adoptive herd. So it might take her a while to trust the dinosaurs in the group. She might even be fearful of some. I think she'd probably be the most fearful of three horns. Mostly because of the three horns on their head and the fact that it seems threehorns can be very prejudice against other kinds. Yes that's a generalization she's making, which isn't a good view to have. But that's the point isn't it, for her to come to realize that her views are also just as wrong as the prejudice she's faced and for her to shed those views when she realizes she needs to learn to trust the other to survive.

I can't decide so I want all of your opinions and which one you'd like to see join the group, the most. If it helps at all I could make a poll. Should I do that?

Well in the movie, I do think that Littlefoot and his friends come across a few things of water. Like the small thing of water Littlefoot found Ducky in, small streams, small puddles, small ponds, and the deep pool at the end of the movie where they push Sharptooth in. I think it might be possible for the Diplocaulus to survive the journey. They might have to tough it out a while without water, but given the fact there's plenty instances of scenes in the movie where we saw water, I think it's safe to say it's possible but it would just be difficult! At any rate I'm really REALLY having troubles deciding which one to use. Maybe I should make a poll and leave it up to fate?

To be honest I'm unsure which character to choose. Which character would you like to see me rping/which one interests you the most?
