Nago's a bounty hunter, so perhaps he can show up briefly to warn Nick and the others about the bounty Chong put on them.

So he's the white dino ranger?  (I've seen some episodes of Dino Thunder, only the first 9 but I've seen him in some morphs and the dinothunder opening videos I have.)

I'll put up info of my chars later today when my mild headache is gone.  Do you prefer them all in 1 long post or 1 char per post, though that will be more then double posting.

Yes and no. His alias is Abarekiller and some of his scenes in the series where he was in costume where then used in Dino Thunder for the White Ranger and the White Ranger clone. He also has one or two powers that the White Ranger doesn't.

Characters I will be playing in addition to him are Spyro and Cynder.

Quote from: Drake,Feb 17 2009 on  12:45 AM
Do you have profiles for your characters somewhere on the site, Serris? They were all introduced so fast, I have no idea who half of them are.
They're all original characters with the exception of Strut.

Dr. Kerzach, Dr. Zanasiu and Zachary are from my RP Darwin's Soldiers. They are all scientists who work at Pelvanida and have actively engaged in combat. Dr. Kerzach has not been actively engaged in combat.
 
Rime and Deimos are from my fan fic Twilight Valley

Here's the profiles for all of them:

Name: Dr. Yuri Kerzach
Age: 34
Species: Anthropomorphic Cassowary
Personality: Fearless, though sometimes crude and acidic. Has a twisted sense of humor.

Name: James Zanasiu
Age: 25
Species: Human
Personality: James is a jovial and friendly man. He appears carefree and irreverent but he can turn serious when the situation demands. He works mainly in the biologic enhancement department but he has spent some time in the weapons department.

Name: Deimos
Species: Utahraptor
Age: Equivalent to an 22-23 year old human
Coloration: Solid brown skin with small facial scar on the right side of his face
Eyes: Amber
Personality: Deimos is an excitable and fun-loving Utahraptor. However, his foul mouth and sometimes rude behavior have gotten him into trouble (he swears the most out of any good character in Twilight Valley). He also has an affectionate side (particularly towards his friends). He likes to engage in friendly sparring with other dinosaurs.

I'll post the first 3 of the characters I plan on rping in this rp.  Hope it's not to long.  & this is the first draft so I may do some adjustment here and there.  

--------------------

Brooklyn  [male gargoyle]
   AFC (altered feature character)
   This is the same char basically as seen in the gargyles tv series, except he's gone though some of what was a spin off series idea by Greg Weisman called Time Dancer.  In that spinoff Brooklyn was to sent traveling in time by the phoenix gate.  To the Manhattan clan he'd only be gone for about 5 minutes at most, but at he experienced 40 years.  In this altered version he didn't spend the whole 40 years traveling.  The timelords detected this and seeing the phoenix gate not under the control of a mature enough species sent the Tourist to get rid of it and to rescue the individual taken from his own time and return him to his own time.  They were eventually able to do so, Odysseus using Galatine to cut the phoenix gate in half and thus rendering it non functional.  Seeing how dangerous the phoenix gate was the lord president instead of hiding it, knowing that the time lords had had evil members of their race and someone else could find it gave him a 1 time permission to break the first law of time (to not met your other incarnations) so 2 future incarnations of The Tourist could each take a piece and put it somewhere or do something with it so neither piece could be found or used.   He had his eyes blindfolded so has no idea what either of the incarnations look like or what number that they are.  

   Brooklyn was grateful to be able to finally return home.  He did like seeing new places and times, but not outside his control and unable to return home.  He felt he owed the Tourist something for saving him and returning him home offered to travel with him sometimes if he was allowed to return home when he wishes, which The Tourist agreed with Brooklyn travels with The Tourist from time to time.  Drinking the same elixir during his time with The Tourist so his aging is halted during his travels with him.

Special Abilities: stronger then humans, can glide, ages at half the rate of humans, can heal all injures during time in stone sleep by the time he awakens when the sun sets (or 8-12 hours later) though for severe injures he'll awaken tired.  The elixir he is given and drinks during his time with the Tourist halts his aging so he does not grow any older during his travels with the tourist, though he is without it when he is back home with his Manhattan clan.  He can also climb by digging his fingers and toes and claws into a substance, like stone.  Though there may well be some that are to dense or tough for him to do this.

________________

Ian Carlson / Sam (male human/ female UtahRaptor)
   original character

This person started as a normal human till he was exposed to some primordial ooze.  He started to turn into a dino and was captured by some of Veloci's agents and taken to his lab for study.  The timelords of the universe that The Tourist is from saw that in this universe of where Veloci there was a high likely hood of his succeeding (unlike in other parallel universes so they gave him some special bombs or his mission to plant to stop Veloci.  He want there with his group of friends.  They formulated plan.  Each person with a mission.  Velma was to remain in the tardis, working with it to hack into veloci's security system and mess it up and plant worms into his system to spread to any other labs or hiding places he may have.  Sara was to use her magic to be stealthy and plant the special bombs around while the rest provided a distraction and rescued any folks they could (not part of the time lord request).  One of them found Ian and they had a battle with Veloci's agents and Veloci himself.  The battle was after a time against them till Veloci, thinking Odysseus was dead since he had slashed or bitten through and severed his neck turned his back to him.  Odysseus's curse though allowed his body to still function & he was able to shoot him in the back with his desert eagle and create a severe shock in the others when his headless body went and reconnected his head.  They got the signal from Sara and got out as fast and as best as they could taking Ian with them.  Once they were clear Velma set off the bombs.  Veloci's building was taken out of phase with the universe put into a permanent timeloop, never learning if that world had a Mrs Monyhan or a dinosquad.

The Tourist took Ian to Ekar's empire on another world and universe so what was happening to him could be treated.  Some nagas there were able to stabilize the change & teach him to control his shapeshifting since in that world they are among the masters in alchemy and shapeshifting, the race having a natural knack in both areas.  & also trained her in telepathy when they noticed his female personality had it.  He decided to stay with the Tourist, for now at least, since he's not fully human anymore and if Veloci or any of his agents survived his family could be at danger, but if he stays away they'll think he didn't survive what happened to Veloci's base.
   Due to a subconscious reason he changes into a female instead of a male dino and the female, at least for now, as the more dominant personality.  He often wears wraparound sunglasses & cosmetic contacts (the type made to change your iris color, not to correct his vision) since when the female is the controlling personality his human eyes will glow amberish and the pupils will often go slit instead of staying round.

Special Abilities: Can change into a Utahraptor.  Is one of the larger meat eaters (though not as large as a t-rex.  Has more acute then human senses, especially smell & greater strength and running speed.  
   His human form as a enhanced strength, the level of someone who works out quite a bit, without needing to work out, slightly enhanced smell.  He only really has access to these in human form while the female personality is the main on in charge.  

The Utahraptor form has blue scales and a white underbelly with glowing amber eyes with slit pupils.
She also uses the name Sam.  She is also telepathic, not sure if I'll do it only in dino form and maybe only telesend.  & if only with certain individuals or more.

_________________

Odysseus
   Is the Odysseus from the myths,  more or less.  He was cursed before or during the Odyssey.  He lived through the ages sometimes traveling with the Tourist for periods of time, spending some time on earth and some on other worlds and universes he traveled to with the Tourist.  He has assumed some various known identities like Sinbad, Sir Bedwyr (knight of the round table), Little John (of Robin hood myths) as the most famous ones.  Being unaging it was easy for him to amass a fortune, or more then one, across time.  He is skilled in some various old and ancient martial arts and various other skills he learned.  Many of these he may be rusty since he may have not used some skills or knowledge for quite some time.  So though the events of the odyssey happened some 3,000 years ago, he's really around maybe 4-5 thousand.

Special Abilities: the gods cursed him.  He does not age, can't die.  He ages at the normal rate, not a faster rate then a normal human.  Lethal diseases can't effect him, normal ones can.  Many diseases he's immune to from exposure.  He can regrow a severed or destroyed body part, or reattach it.  He can be hurt as any normal human can, just can't die and given time his body will go back it's normal condition, a side effect is he's immune to most types of shapeshifing (why Circe's magic didn't effect him.) He also has Galatine (the sword in the stone, not Excalibur which is a different sword given to Arthur by the lady in the lake) and a magic scabbard that keeps the sword and itself invisible and though the scabbard is only a few inches long it can still ensheath the entire sword.

He's 6.5-6.8 feet, and very strong for a human, not super human, but in the upper levels of human possible.

The current name he's using is Rex Hamilton and he's been using it for the past 5-10 years or so.

I read the first Insane Cafe and I liked the battle with the enchanted sporks. Can we implement something like that? Perhaps the hotel manager had accidentally hired one of Chong's bounty hunters (also a mage) as a chef.

Does he have time? He seems very very busy.

Sara

a golden scaled human size dragon (fairy dragon) female.

She met the Tourist during his trips to her world in the dragon empire or Ekar the 2nd.  They became friends and she accepted his offer to travel with him, which she does, though she spends some time back home also.  

Special abilities: unaging, as all of her species are.  She can look human, or other appearances, though only really does this when she is with the tourist on his travels to worlds & universes not use to seeing a dragon.  She can do magic, of the dragon & dragon fairy type, but isn't trained in combat, using magic more for the everyday utility type.  Though she does know some combat useful spells as part of her regular training & some more stealthy ones also.  Her everyday occupation back in her home world is mainly as a scholar with a side business in making enchanted items for everyday use, niknaks, handy items, and other such stuff.  With some knowledge of alchemy.  She is studying the deeper type of magic so she'll know the theory, physics, cosmology, mathematics, ect of magic, a far far more complicated way to study magic instead of spells with maybe a little theory but she'll be far more flexible and with far more flexible magic abilities, knowledge ect.

Usually wears a belt with bags of holding type of things, enchanted so only she can open them.


-----------------------

The Tourist

He's a male time lord usually wearing various clothing, which he changes from time to time.   He is an agent of the PIA (parachronic intervention agency) which use to be the CIA back in the Dr's day, before they developed the tech to travel to other universes as easily as back and forth in time.  He travels around doing missions, and between missions also.  He has met many folks and made friends and acquaintances  across many times and universes and planets.  His tardis being of a modern type can travel back and forth in time, as well as sideways and slantways and is sentient but usually quiet.  

During his studies in the Time Lord Academy he would up getting doctorates in various sciences, electronics and medicine.  During his comparative medical and science classes he studied sciences and medicine across a number of universes & got degrees and medical doctorates across a number of different universe & times (though not required as part of his classes it did give him extra credit).  Among the folks he studied under were Dr. Mcnider (the golden age Dr. Mid-nite) Joe Kido (the adult version of the season 1 character who was an adult and a doctor) Professor Moran (a sentient gorilla college professor who taught physics and a few other subjects who once he he became friends with and traveled with him once The Tourist graduated from the time lord academy until he (Moran) became a king.  While studying in the Digital world he also made many digimon friends including Guilmon who traveled with him for a while.  He also studied in other places across other universe including Vulcan science academy, Vulcan and Deltan medical schools, the imperial Medical & science academies on Korodos, (after he amassed a fortune using his tardis so he could pay his way in since he was not from the world and had no titles or anything there, and some other places.
He also picked up and carries various tiny and small gadgets and stuff from the past of earth and other worlds like a few lucifer matches, a 1917 cigarette lighter and the like. He was given his doctor's black bag (which is from the 1940's and the only 1 he has) by Dr. Mcnider since it used to his black bag when he use to practice medicine.


His longest and oldest friend is Odysseus which at his point of view he met during his first trip to Camelot.  He met Sir Bedwyr and assisted him on one of his errantry quests.  Sir Bedwyr knew him but he had not met Sir Bedwyr yet.  He assumed he had met him somewhere in Sir Bedwyr and his own future at some point and gave it little thought.  One of his next missions was to join Jason's Argonauts and  to ensure he succeeded in his mission.  Things went well and not to surprising, though exciting.  The odd thing, to him, came when one of the Argonauts after the main famous mission was over introduced him to his children saw his eldest son Odysseus who looked exactly like a younger version of Sir Bedwyr.  He was a bit surprised but hid it, not knowing how a human could live such a long time, put it off as an ancestor of his.  During another mission or to later he ran across Odysseus again, who eventually after their  having a few adventures together took The Tourist into his confidence about his curse.  

On another trip he went to another world where Ekar the 2nd has an empire and helped him, the conclusion of an adventure there of which he was adopted to his family.  He also has been studying a bit of dragon magic now and then.  Ekar 2nd gave him some elixir to give to his traveling companions so they do not age while they travel with him, though he also drinks some himself so he doesn't age either.  He is given a new amount when he visits again.  

Has used the name Jason Laris.  Jason is from his friend Jason and the Argonauts, and Laris is the last name of the Dragon Emperor Ekar the 2nd who adopted him into his family, so technically it is his legal last name.  He also met Sara during this and they became friends.  He told Ekar the truth of his nature and Ekar gave him some Elixir to share with his traveling companions so they do not age during their time traveling with him.  He drinks this himself so he won't age, putting off his regenerations and extending his life thereby,  though he's no immortal, just extending his already long lifespan & pretty much stops his aging.

 He has also started to study the deeper magic like Sara has, and has her as one of his tutors, when he's away from being able to study at Korodos under one of the imperial wizard mage types who tutor the imperial family & their chosen friends.  This was made possible since he was made possible with what the emperor had himself and some nagas perform some sort of ritual of which he the tourist does not remember since they blanked out his memory & kept him unconscious till the ritual was fully over a few months later, made more complicated since he was not a normal human, or other race but a time lord which complicated matters.   They did this since till he can understand the ritual better since it could be dangerous to himself if he were to try to do bits of it.

His pockets are larger inside the outside.  He carries many things in his pockets of various types form his travels that he has picked up, bought, been given, ect.  

______________________________

Velma [female human, fc]

 likely after the scooby gang broke up.  She first met the Tourist and Odysseus while she was at a dig with one of of her Archaeologist uncles at a Greek, or near the Greek area, dig.  He called in a person who was an expert in many ancient languages and some areas of history (Odysseus) When he showed up he brought along a friend of his (the tourist), also knowledgeable in languages, and certain spots in history, far more narrow, such as Jason and the Argonauts who called himself Jason Laris.  Someone wanted the treasure for themselves and made the others seem it was undead to try to scare off the others.  She not only found clues to solve this mystery, but also found some clues that lead her to the conclusion that these 2 were more then they seemed, including some equipment she saw them pull out of pockets, like Odysseus pulling out a sword from  nowhere & his friend using feather shurikens (from Gatchman) and other things & clues.  After the mystery was solved.  At the conclusion she took him up on his offer to show her his tardis.  She was unsure, but her uncle and Odysseus were old friends so she felt safe.  She saw the inside of the tardis and when he explained what it was took him up on his offer of a spin around time for a bit.  They traveled together for a bit.  Taking the magic elixir so her aging was stopped while she traveled with him.  Then she got homesick and went back home.  He returned her 1 second after she left and left her a small communications device so he could contact her if she wished to travel again or if she needed help.  
   She next saw him a short time to a year or so later when she was on the set of one of Scooby Dee's movies being shot not to many hours drive from where she was visiting.  During the investigation she was put into a trap and seeing no way out used her communications device.  The Tourist and his then traveling companions, Odysseus & Sara (using an illusion or shapeshift to look human) came in answer to her call and they together got her out and solved the mystery.  She travels with them from time to time.  She was later given a digivice and acquired a digimon.

Any idea what's taking him so long?

Blackguilmon
Species: Balckguilmon  :p
Attribute: Virus
Type: Reptile Digimon
Abilitiies: Stronger than a human and possesses a hightened sense of smell. Possesses the Pyro Grenade attack which fires a purple sphere of energy from his mouth and the Virus Breath where he exhales a virus infected cloud from his mouth. He could digivolve, but currently isn't strong enough to do so under his own power.
History: He spent most of his time wondering the Digital World, occasionally stopping in villages. He is a shameless prankster and never passes up the oppurtunity to play a joke on someone. He is still very much a kid at heart, inspite of his somewhat boastful nature.

He'll probably end up hanging out with Bulk and Skull.

No, he's more of the annoying kid type than the villian type. He's more or less harmless.
