Okay, so you’ve heard of Jurassic Park, right? Well pretty much the same thing happened here, scientists think they can play God, create monsters, lose control of them and they all die. Heh, the thing is, those scientists didn’t make exactly the same mistakes as those guys in Jurassic Park, and they’re not all dead (yet). Yes, see, the scientists made but one mistake with their new batch of creations, and that was that they decided to give us intelligence. I am the first of the generation created with said intelligence, generation 7. Needless to say, I got pretty tired of living in a dumb old cage getting poked and prodded all day. Long story short, I gtfo of there and plan to get the rest of the experiments out too.

This is where you come in! I need to you to take care of all the guys I get out of here and make sure they don’t get captured by ‘the man’ again, okay? You get a cool freak pet, my buddies are safe and away from this torturefest, win-win situation, am I right?

Unfortunately, I can’t get too far away from this place, being microchipped and all. That’s why we’re in this (mostly) abandoned area of the complex, so I have a man on the outside. You’ll meet him later, and don’t let his size fool you. He’s vicious!

.RP Rules.
- No extreme cursing. like more than 2 curse words in one sentence/post.
- Use present or past tense, just please use the same tense when rping.
- Try to not to leave anyone out. Give people a chance to join in.
- No god-modding
- Please use (( and )) in OOC talk.
- In out of character threads, never give out your real information such as address, phone number, location. If you must, give that info to people you trust and only over PMs.
- You can't just make an imaginary pet, it actually had to exist. Now for history you can use parents or siblings but just as long as you don't rp them - unless they exist..
- Have fun with rping, just don't kill anyone. You can injure a peta but don't kill unless given permission by me and by the owner.
- If you RP in an aim log or RP, make sure to get permission from the other parties before posting.
- Be kind to others!
- Please think about what your pet is capable of, although they’re pretty dang powerful, they can’t like, take out an entire squadron of guards with machine guns single-handedly.
- Please keep EVERYTHING PG-13 or lower.


We have a guild where you can RP 8D

Mah, you wanna know more? Well… where to start… ah, well T.A.L.O.N.S. stands for “Translational allele limit override noeticphysical stability.” In layman’s terms, that pretty much means “Changing a bunch of DNA and creating things that are biologically stable and won’t die.” Just rolls off the tongue, eh. Technically, there are four stages for us, egg, infant, young adult, and adult, if they can make it in the wild, but when I get guys out of here they’re usually going to be infants, since they’re not microchipped yet and can get past security much easier.

Obviously we are based off of prehistoric raptor-dinosaur types, probably not any specific species. I am unsure if they used real raptor DNA or what and I have no idea where they could have gotten it from, but being genetic experiments, we can come in crazy colors that probably wouldn’t have been found in the wild back in the Mesozoic era. Also, we were created stronger, faster, (and now smarter) than the Droms we were originally based on, so don’t forget, we are a force to be reckoned with!

It is unknown who exactly is creating us or why, whether it’s a branch of the government trying to create fighting machines or a group of freelance mad scientists. I’m pretty sure there are other species of experiments around here, but so far I’ve only dared to stick around the raptor compounds, so who knows, we might find new species of intelligent creatures eventually!

.Pets/Stages.


Right now, we have one type of pet- the raptors.



First stage is the egg, however, usually the only way to get a pet in this stage first is from breeding.




The infant stage, the stage that flatsale pets usually start out at. As soon as they are hatched, these raptors are already quite capable and learn very quickly.



Young adult stage, at this stage raptors can be quite reckless, testing their boundaries and learning the laws of the wild.




Adult stage, by now you're raptor has grown into exactly what it was created to be- a lean, mean, killing machine!

[Project TALONS]

Hiya, I’m Spiffert, the very first from the lab born out in the wild! No microchips, tattoos or anything, groovy eh? Mehheh, well 701 put me in charge of leading guys away from here and helping them find places to stay, so here’s where you can get some to take care of n’whatnot!
