Hey, ok so this idea should be vague enough to be open for anything and good for RP, basically we all know that the gang and other "valley-ers" had to spend some time in that land off of the Big Water in V while the Great Valley recovers.
So basically we can just explore what everyone's doing while they're there in this temporary home not to far from the island.
So come on in with cannon you want to play or OC's. I'll start a list.
TAKEN CANNON
Chomper- LBTfan13
Littlefoot- LBTfan13
Cera- GVG
Spike- GVB
Ducky- Kit
Petrie- Kit
OC's
Tylr- Kit
Cree- Kit
Lily- Kit
Ptyra- Ptyra
Ada- Kit (borrowed)
Tarran?- Kit (borrowed)
Mim- Kor
Diver- Kor
Mia- Kor
Rhyn- Kor
Luna- MrDrake
Skye- MrDrake

Sounds like an interesting idea. It is one of the 2 locations they spent some time at.
One thing some may wonder is if they can play Elsie, though she can't travel with the gang she may travel around the area and come to visit from time to time, maybe daily or more then once a day. Also the gang may wonder if she can deliver a message to Chomper, or sneak away to have her carry them, except maybe without Cera, to visit Chomper for short periods of time.
I'm not sure which of my chars I'll play. Maybe Mim, and Diver, and maybe some of Diver's friends like Mia, or Rhyn. Not sure which fc's I"ll play. I'll wait and see which fc's are taken then maybe take one that isn't taken.
-
Yeah, I thought about Elsie and she'd be an option for play I think, and we could probably work something with Chomper too if we wanted...though let's keep in mind the adults will be very close so explanations could be in order if the kids get caught :)
-
My guess is they'd have to say they are going off to play and sneak to a spot up the beach. Or say they are going for a ride on Elsie, though that would be harder to explain why they want to go where the adults can't see them, go out so far from the beach and stay gone so long.
I guess if they want to visit Chomper they'd have to go for saying they are going off to play and try to sneak off to meet Elsie to be taken there. Though you may have other ideas.
They can have other sorts of adventures, especially since this is a new area they've not been to before. To bad they don't meet Mo till the 9th movie. Though maybe they could meet some others of his species or something or see them in the distance away from the beach.
-
I guess I could put in Ptyra for my OC. Again, I don't mind if someone "borrows" the other two-Ada and Tarran (the new boy in my OCs). I've got tons of others, but I think I'll just leave those to up to be "borrowed", since the rest would probably end up secondary characters.
My suggestion for something that forces the "Valley-ers" out of the Valley would be an eruption from the Valley's smoking mountain. That hasn't happened, so why not?
-
I think it's set just after the 5th movie ends, while the dinos are living in that other place they were living at before they returned to the great valley before the 6th movie starts. Though your idea could work as another plot for another thread if someone starts one at some point in the future.
Going to use any fc character?
-
Yeah, it takes place during V, but we can hang onto or use that smoking mountains idea if we need a reason they have to stay there for a really long time or something.
Ok, I might actually go ahead and claim Petrie...again, hehe, hey is it a surprise I like him, I mean really? :D
If we want, for other fcs we can just use the unclaimed ones as needed to help the story along if we want.
-
Sounds best. Some folks may come in later, and also no problem with an rp with just a few players. Just means for some fc's some may need to do 2 if the plot needs them like you said, or the fc's can be around but offscreen doing something until someone picks to rp them or they are needed.
As for staying out of the Great Valley for a long time, they don't really say how long it takes for the Great Valley to regrow nor how long there is between the 5th & 6th movies and since the gang does not age, as most animated characters don't age it makes it even harder to say, though like the folks who made the lbt movies did we can ignore the passage of time for the most part.
-
Actually, this could be at either the V time fame like was my original thought or...just another time in the same land or something works since I went tweaked my characters again and Cree and Tylr are younger.
They're in that odd category Cera was in with Dinah and Dana, in that they were kids when Petrie's brood was born and, I'd think pre-teenish the Great Earthshake happened, moving to early teens for this role play (again hard to tell when no one ages!)
but Cree's still the focal point with the idea that's come to my head.
Oh and I've dealt with Ada before so if you want me to help you out with her and possibly Tarran I can do that. Just tell me anything I need know.
Ok, so edited character list going into this...
Cree
Tylr
Lily (new character but using the Corythosauris idea again)
and I'll edit up top to reflect all this, even discussion.
I'll also go ahead and put up the thread in case after a month of on and off you guys are still interested :D
-
When is this starting, just after the 5th movie ends or during the time the gang are at the island since there is quite a bit of time we are not shown what the others are doing.
-
My guess is this RP would start after the fifth movie, since the children are reunited with their parents, but haven't returned to the great valley yet.
Also, I'd like to Cera and Spike if that's okay. I'm still not sure if I should bring in any of my OC's.
-
Yep, while they're just...hanging out there while the Great Valley recovers.
Ok, you got 'em and, yeah I will take Petrie, since I said and then didn't say :)
-
I suppose I could bring Cyrix into this...but he'd have to have a reason for showing up...well I'm sure I'll think of something. :DD
-
Whatever you decide :D
Yeah, Ptyra, just to help you decide with your characters too, I'm gonna have this be at 5 like we said.
Oh, and Kor, didn't mean to leave you out, what OC's did you decided you were using or not? I thought you didn't say and they read that you had said some just not definitely, or it didn't seem.
-
I do have some Oc's I can use. Not sure which ones may fit.
Mim - an adult rainbowface
Diver - one of ducky's sisters.
Mia- a friend of Diver and a miasaur
Rhyn - a flier (like rinkus's species) and a friend of Diver.
-
Ok, and I will probably take Ducky as well to get things going and get 4/5, but if someone wants her I'll hand her off.
-
If it's okay with you, I would like to take Littlefoot. I figured since we are in the movie storyline now, I will leave my OC out for this one.
Also, if we ever decide to incorporate Chomper into this, I wouldn't mind taking him as well, unless somebody else wants to use him in which case they may.
This is a very interesting RP idea :yes
-
Wow, looks like there is more interest in this rp. :yes
-
Yes, and ok LBTfan13, you got both, but if someone else really wants Chomper come discuss it here or PM him :)
-
Luckily I've seen the 5th movie, so I do know what you're talking about XD
I do like the idea as well, problem is, with my main OC, Luna....she's a fast biter, you know, Velociraptor, so she's not a leaf eater, as in, hates the taste of leaves. So, really, not sure if I should bring her into it or not.....
I mean, I do like the sound of this one, it's just an odd position with my faster biter character. Not going to use her father though, wouldn't really work with him....he's not the nicest around XD
-
Yeah I get what you're saying, I mean if you and LBTfan wanted to do something with Luna and Chomper on the island I would still count that as within this role play structure since it's the same time and like we said we may work out something there, but I get what you're saying about it not being the focus and a sub plot of sorts I suppose.
Just wanted to let you (both) know in thinking that if you did decided to do stuff on the island I wouldn't be opposed to that.
-
Well, I have actually, as of late, been thinking of a leaf eater OC of my own, a Threehorn....sort of like Cera you know, well, she is the inspiration....mainly her attitude on how she approaches things, being proud and what have you XD
Although, not too sure on a name and all that, well, I do have a small idea on a name anyway.
-
That could be interesting, the bit with Luna and Chomper on the island, and this threehorn character could be a nice connection with Cera.
-
Yeah, I'm sure we could figure out something with Chomper and Luna....granted, I do need a reason for Luna to be there....perhaps she was just there lost at first herself, but made the island her own and soon, becomes friends with Chomper as well, or something along those lines.
As for my threehorn character, I do have a name in mind, the name called Skye. Yes, my threehorn character is a female as well, one whom is much like Cera in a way, well, not as bossy as Cera can be....okay, maybe she's not all that bosy herself, but she does speak her mind and all.
And no, she's not like Luna sort of thing, I mean, on how Luna can get upset over some thing, like in GVG's RP sort of thing, Skye on the other hand does get annoyed at times, but of course, she remains rather friendly and all that. But no, she's not related to Cera and her family in any way.
-
Sounds great, and yeah I don't think there's a problem at all with more threehorn's than Cera having pride issues, don't they all? *ducks lest Cera come answer that* LOL
Anway do you want me to put her in with the list? Either Luna or Skye or both? I wasn't sure if you were still brainstorming so just asking :D
-
In a way, I was actually brainstorming, but in another way, I was revealing my character you know, sort of like both at once XD
But yeah, you can put them both in actually, gonna be going with both Luna and Skye ^^
Sucks Cera was already called as a character, but ah well, it's all good for me :D
Oh also, still am trying to figure out the cause of the problem with the Great Valley....I might be misreading it or something, but is it something to do with the adults taking over or something along those lines? Too bad it's not the leaf gobblers (I believe is what they were called) from the fifth movie :lol:
-
I think this will be the first LBT rp where I'm not playing one of the fc's. No biggie since with my Oc's I have plenty of chars to rp as.
-
Skye has no family by the way. You could say that she's a one dinosaur herd....well, that's what she calls it anyway. And yes, she is still young, around Littlefoot and Cera's age for example XD
-
I think, if you read the role play post, what you're misreading is my OC's rant perhaps :D
The reason everyone's in the land beside the Big Water is becaue of the reason in V, the swarming leaf gobblers. This is after the movie, doesn't have to be right after, just some time after.
Now in playing around with the backstory of my OC's being the age they are now, I have it imagined that Cree and Tylr, who are like kid siblings for Petrie's mom and Pterano in that they are teens, roughly probably pre-teen when the big earth shake happened in I that separated them from their parents (they've only bumped into Petrie's mom like once not counting this role play)
So they kind of do the wandering on their own thing and meet up with their friend Lily only instead of the teens finding the Great Valley or anything they find this land of V, or atleast for this role play that's the history, and since I get the impression from the movie that the land is kind of vacant, I imagine Cree gets it into his head it's theirs/his and he's kinda of miffed when the adults horn in.
No one kicked anyone out, Cree just takes it that way.
Whew, all that for my logic for the first post :)
-
Yeah, I got lost cause of Cree's rant XD
Thanks though, makes it more easier to follow now. I was actually, at first, assuming they were in the Great valley, you know, sort of following the movie plot, but to their own accord sort of thing.
But there is still a reason why adults ignore Skye....since no one is her parents or really know much about her....you know, being independant and what have you XD
-
Hey i'm sorry I haven't started in the rp, but I'm about to leave for Argentina in a couple days. I might be able to get on but I don't expect to. In which case, somebody can borrow my characters until I come back.
-
I could borrow them for the time being if you want. Well, Littlefoot and Chomper that is till you get back.
I mean, I wouldn't mind....but of course, if anyone else wants to, they can borrow them instead. But yeah, I would like to play as Littlefoot at least and yeah, most likely Chomper too....er....you get the point :p
-
It's not too late to join, is it? Cause I've got an idea for a couple of OCs and I really like the concept of this rpg. :)
Name: Kel the Onehorn (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20081113122426/landbeforetime/images/thumb/3/3b/One_Horn_2.png/300px-One_Horn_2.png)
Bio: Was separated from her herd in the great earth shake, so had to head for the Great Valley on her own. That's when she ran into a family of Fast Runners. They claimed they knew where the valley was and were headed that way, so Kel fell into line to get where she was going. She stayed quiet, knowing that she was only a guest, but they treated her as family almost since when they were face-to-face with Sharpteeth, she was usually the one to fight them off. But one day, as Kel fought a bigger Sharptooth and the family of Fast Runners tried to flee off to safety, they ran into an ambush of fast biters! The mother and father Fast Runner's sent their daughter back to Kel, where it was safer, as they tried to hold off the Fast Biters as long as possible. Blossom, the daughter, ran back to tell Kel who had just sent the Sharptooth running home to his nest what had happened. They never saw Blossom's parents again.
So Kel adopted Blossom and the two are still headed for the Great Valley. After the incident, Kel is still her same, reserved self. However, she's know a bit more wary of Blossom's whereabouts.
Name: Blossom the Fast Runner (http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090210024613/landbeforetime/images/b/b6/Baby_Ruby.jpg)
Bio: She was young when she lost her parents, and has been with Kel ever since. She loves adventure, but just can't shake the image of Kel telling her that if she's not careful she could end up seriously hurt out of her mind. This causes her to double think things most of the time. She small in size and sorta young in age, but nothing can measure the size of her heart.

Hehe, nice characters, quiet like their little backstories indeed.
Even though I'm not the leader of the RP, I would still say to jump in, it's not too late at all, since they haven't really done anything, since it's only started ^^
-
Are sharpteeth allowed in this RP?
