well, going to try and revive this, since looks like I may have killed the idea dump gonk
maybe we ought to have some more invertibrates on the island, be interesting to see a centapede crawling around. Sabin might like to have a big old black scarab beetle on the island since the scarab is an important symbol in eygptian mythology.


Open question to you all, What other 'additonal feature' serums (like the wings, tauric and others) would you want to be availible? I think having one that would replace say fur with feather, scales or something else would be interesting.

@Raur-I think more invertebrates would be interesting. It's always neat to see how those things play out. Plus, I seem to find transformations that turn people into less than pretty things terribly more fascinating than transformations that are elegant and pretty x3

A replacement serum does sound interesting too, and one could come up with a wild amount of ideas for something like that...


As for ideas I'd like to see...I thought it would be neat if someone did something with a chow-chow dog or a shar-pei. Both would be interesting transformations to see, especially the shar-pei. But that could just be my liking for the primative breeds flaring up. XD;;

yeah, need more frightening, creepy serums to be used, scare not only the people injected with them, but the islanders too!


One interesting idea i got is that like 3 random serums get 'contaminated' and people that have these serums have random additional features or some unusual/strange things happen, like features from other& different species start to grow in

you know what would be a very creepy insect to have on the island? a Male Dobsonfly!

scary looking huh? well don't worry, even with those huge mandibles, they don't have the strength to be able to actually hurt anything with them.
This was actually one of the insects i was thinking of using for one of my mules, but choose something else instead.

Hmm, why not a snowboarder who picked a bad place to take a holiday from the ski resorts. Considering Moreaus sense of humour one can imagine what serum he'd get. 3nodding

I know I'm getting ahead of myself when I say this, but should I ever get my quest character on the island I was considering having his sister become another "subject" when he's don with his transformation. twisted Since he's turned into a cat, she could be a dog, mouse or perhaps some kind of bird, but also being a breed of cat would be ideal for her brother, but considering Moreau, I doubt that would happen.

the snowboarder idea is interesting, but an interesting spin on that idea is that said snowbarder wants to try sandboarding, its kinda like snowboarding, only on sand, usually out where there are large snad dunes, but who says Moreau can't lie about some of the stuff on the island?

would be interesting if you got your character and his sister on the island Nikorasu-Kun, but rather go for the usual cat-bird or dog-cat, maybe try to go for something in a direct predator-prey relationship like Fisher and porcupine? The fisher is related to the pine martin and eats Porcupines

I like the sound of that, then Moreau could make them a desert animal, just to add insult to injury. Perhaps an Australian Thorny Devil Lizard. twisted

Is a good idea, and the Thorny Devil eats BUGS twisted Don't
think Mr.Snowboarder will like that at all.

Could also turn Snowboarder man into a Rhino or equally large/heavy animal
then he wouldn't be able to get on a snowboard, or surfboard for that matter

This is character idea I had, I wanted to get some input on it before I started a quest thread.

The one thing that struck me as odd about this RP is that no-one outside of Feral Labs seems to have come across the secret of the cross-species genetic manipulation. After all, if Moreau can discover it why not someone else?

So I thought what about a young genetics student under the risk of failing his degree and getting kicked out of the university. He's desperate not to have that happen, he has very little money and is only able to stay at the university through a scholarship. If he gets kicked out he'll be unable to support himself and wind up homeless with nowhere to go.

Desperate to save himself he begins to spend every second he can researching, poring over every bit of information he can find. One day after stumbling across a particular piece of text he manages to put together the basic theory from which the serums are devised.

Overecstatic about his discovery he brags about it online.

Somehow (perhaps spyware or something similar) the staff on the IoDM get wind of this and decide to abduct him in order to keep the secret safe.

They get caught off guard when the student, upon faced with the reality of what the plan to do to him, willing accepts it. Fascinated by the idea of mixing species DNA he wants nothing more than to experience the phenomenon first hand and he begins to treat himself as his own research subject.



Well, be honest, is it OK?

Davros- I think its an interesting Idea said student learns a method of cross-species genetic manipulation. But where Dr. Moreau and Feral Labs has eyes everywhere, perhaps the student provides a thesis to his professor, which draws Dr. Moreau's attention and starts his plan to bring Student to work for Feral. When said student rejects Feral lab's offer to try and start research and experiments on his own. This makes Moreau angry, and has him kidnapped and brought to island.

Of course there are many different variations that can be played out, but you probably want to consider that the student wouldn't find out about what is going to happen to him before he gets to the island. However an interesting twist you could work with is Moreau decides to use whatever animal Student first tried to experiment with to develop the serum Moreau plans to inject student with. Which leads for some interesting results.

Thanks for the tips. I doubt the student would have access to the animal I have in mind though. I'm kinda hoping for Sabre Toothed Tiger. Assuming that the DNA for said creature can be acquired.

Okay, well, i've been somewhat of a lurker for a while with the intent of becoming a questor, but i'm having trouble getting my ideas straight and ordered so I can get started. SO I figured, what better way is there to narrow down my choices than with critics and opinions? So, here will be a list of possible animals. I'm aware generally one should work on the character first, and I do have an idea, but to expand on that, it'd be easier to have a smaller list of possible serums.

Mountian Lion....................Lechwe
Dire Wolf (Extinct).............Dragonfly
Impala .............................. Praying Mantis
Leopard ........................... Eastern collared lizard
Jackal .............................. Panda
Springbok .........................Gazelle
Cow....................................Chameleon
Black Breasted Buzzard.....Scorpion
Ram/Sheep........................Cherryblossom Tree
Rottweiler.......................... Willow Tree
Poodle ...............................Japanese Maple Tree

I havn't decided on a gender, but generally an animal with horns i'd go for male, otherwise i'm not too fussed. I'm not so determined on something 'pretty' compared to something different or a good concept; so, what do you think? Some things will probably end up tauric (Eg. Scorpion / Cow) And others with extra limbs (Trees, so they've got more mobility) Ect. Such a long list - and these are only the more favoured ones! I definantly need a hand in picking the best ones out to narrow it down ^^'

Hehe, tree blossom girl would be interesting, she could be called Sakura (Since that means cherry blossom in Japanese anyway)

But if your going to try and narrow the list down you should work on the character first, and how their animal applies to them (Or how it's a cruel joke)
PostPosted: Sat Aug 05, 2006 2:06 am


Mm. I've got a vague idea of what my character will be, but the biggest problem right now is gender and animal.

Aye, Sakura; but I plan to put alittle more irony into it than just namesake -nod-

I guess i'm just working backwards right now.
