Hi. I'm thinking of starting a roleplay for extinct animals in the public map of the Animal Testing Facility(not my map,but the creator said it's ok to start your own rps in it) which you can download here:
http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=16155.0Rules: 1.You can be any extinct
mammal that doesn't need water to survive (like a dolphin or something because they couldn't be in water all the time)(but semi-aquatic animals that can go on land are ok) provided you can make it somewhat realistic looking with either the game character creator itself or using custom presets, items, or other custom content. It doesn't have to be extremely realistic like with realistic fur textures or anything. What I mean is just don't go in the character creation and choose a canine or feline model and just make the color brown and do no editing to the shape of the body and call it a deer. That kind of thing. The best species are obviously any extinct canines or felines or canine or feline-like species like Andrewsarchus, thylacines, marsupial lions/thylaceo, extinct hyena species, bear-dogs,etc. Some other animals that should be pretty easy to make though can be bears, deers/goats/sheep using some of the item pack antlers and horns,etc.
Example of what I'm talking about when I say to make the model somewhat realistic. Left side is the wrong way. Right side is the right way:On the left side, the markings,colors, and height are right, but the body weight and length haven't been changed all. Deer are large animals height-size,but they are also lean and slender animals weight-wise and they have longer bodies than canines. The ears are also wrong. The muzzle is also still too long, pointed,and canine-like. Deer have short, fat muzzles similiar to cow muzzles. Antlers would make a nice touch,but aren't necessary. On the right side, the animal is correct. It is long, lean,but still tall, has a short,fat muzzle, and ears are off to the side of the head like deer have. The antlers added also give it a nice touch.
2. You have to be part of my Extinct Animals group to rp. Whisper caninesrock on the game and I'll add you. This is just to keep things organized so its easier to plan events and kept track of our own dialogue using the group chat so it doesn't get mudded in with the other local dialogue. You can fill out an application here first even if you aren't part of my group and I can add you after.
3. You can not play any non-extinct animals unless it's an extinct subspecies of a currently exsisting animal, then that's ok.
4. No powerplaying. This means you can't kill or injure someone else's character without their permission or say what their character is doing. You can attack their character,but they get to choose whether or not their character took the damage or dodge the attack for example.
5. This is a semi-literate rp. You need to know basic spelling and grammar,but you don't have to write huge paragraphs or anything.
6. This is a semi-realistic rp. So, please no characters with extreme strength (even being a prehistoric animal is no excuse) or magical powers. Also, no un-natural colors.
7. When naming your character, please put your character's species in the name after the name of your character. For example, my character is a thylacine and his name is Ben, so I would put in the name Ben Thylacine in the character creator when I made him.
8.If you use a preset, please post the link to the .fhp file for download in this topic so we can see your preset.
9. If you want to join this rp you have to fill out this form for your character first and then post it in this topic:

The Story:It is the year 2030 and scientists have figured out how to clone extinct animals back into exsistance using DNA from anything that belonged to the animal, even the smallest bone fragment or just skeletal remains. The government has given grants to the scientists to do this as long as they promise to keep thier experiments a secret. As result, they clone the animals but then keep them locked away in a lab so the public doesn't find out. They do experiments on them to make sure they don't have any new diseases that could be passed on to modern day creatures and less useful and more cruel experiments such as intentionally hurting them to test how strong they are and intentionally giving them modern-day illnesses to test their immunity to them, etc.
You are one of the extinct animals and your mission is to survive another day and cope with the experiments and hell the scientists put you through. Your mission is to keep hope and try to escape and when you do escape to try and find your place in a strange new world that you weren't made for.

Characters so Far:Picture/Screenshot of Character in Feral Heart Game or Character Creation Screen:
Name:Benjamin (Ben for short)
Age: 2 (in animal years) (about 20ish in human years)
Gender:Male
Species: Thylacine
DNA Used to Ressurect (Skeleton, Fossils, Fur pelt, taxidermied specimen,bones, anything else that could be used to clone DNA from extinct animals):Taxidermied thylacine museum specimen.
Brief History:Benjamin was cloned from a museum specimen thylacine that was taxidermed in the National Museum of Natural History in the United States. He is named after the last thylacine to exsist before extinction but does not have that Benjamin's DNA. Instead, he holds the DNA of a generic average thylacine. Benjamin was grown in a test tube in a labratory inside a fake pouch because there was no suitable host to carry a thylacine cub. Benjamin hasn't known anything but that false pouch and then the lab when he was removed from his pouch. He felt safe in the pouch,but then the scientists took him out and that's when the experiments began.He was poked with needles, cut with scapels, had his skin scraped, and went through all kinds of other hell while concious while the scientists studied him.
