If you have a roleplay request, describe it below and it will likely be created.

The story takes place on a deserted island. The island was formed (like many islands) by the eruption of many immense undersea volcanoes. It became larger over time. And the soil was unnaturally fertile allowing many plants ( dropped by birds) to grow their. Soon a dense forest began to grow around the crater at the summit of the island. All kinds of fruit trees a grasses began to sprout up making a lush habitat fit for the taking. Soon, carried by debris and glaciers, animals began to land on the island. The first animals were rodents, snakes and penguins(now extinct). But in no time larger animals such as civits and genets began to show up on the island. These animals grew smaller than their mainland counter parts and subsisted off of the fruits and resources of the island. Between 4,600 and 18,300 years ago, humans first landed on the island (in waves every few years) bringing their dogs(very closely linked to the dingo of Australia) with them. After more humans(the Polynesians) arrived bringing rats, chickens, pigs and more dogs. They left cave paintings and new plants. However, arriving on the island they started war with the original human inhabitants and brought disease. Eventually they all died out. The British followed many years after in 1816. They brought boars, Wildcats, deer, badgers, monkeys (maquaces), eagles (golden), wild boars from around the world, dogs, bees, freshwater fish, dingoes , rabbits, African wildcat domestic cat hybrids and as well as ship cats. Natural selection chose a place for all the animals on the island. The British also brought new plants for their own benefit and planted them all around the island. However a sudden accident killed all the British settlers leaving the island inhabited as they did not want to share their bounty. The animals escaped and evolved to fit the island without the humans. Hundreds of years later our main characters are on a cruise funded by a certain person's family (my character). They shipwreck on the island and must survive until help arrives. (Little do they know that the government knew that they were there and had found the island long ago. They had always wanted to study survival on the island and now they could. The do not have any affect on the island however besides observations.)

Here's the link. I need help with the animal profiles though. There are maqauces, snakes, deer, Polynesian rats, and others. There are no big cats or bears. However there are some island adapted lynxes and badgers. You all can customize these animals. But remember; no predator is over 50 pounds other than the wild dogs(we are gonna eat these btw so be prepared) and the occasional lynx. There are also coconut crabs and African civits so I'm going to need help with profiles. I'll make theropod admin just tell me your username in the shout box. Meanwhile thero, can you make the section and a make your own character thread? You can have a dog and a cat btw. Follow this link to the profile site. w11.zetaboards.com/Funesti_insulae/index/
