Yes, another jointy. But since they seem to be doing relatively good right now, I decided to start another. But this time, on another subject that we haven't touched around here - Dinosaurs. Basically, this is a hidden land that is hard to find from our world, and impossible to leave due to the fact that it's surrounded by a razor sharp reef all the way around so no ships can make it past. The land is also not advanced enough to have airplanes and there was only one known submarine here, but its wrecked and doesn't run. On this land, Dinosaurs and humans live peacefully. They have a civilization built together, where they live together, make decisions together in courts and such, and stuff like that. The dinosaurs speak their language, Dinotopian, but understand English, for most of the humans on the island speak it. The humans learn Dinotopian as well, but have to keep the English due to newcomers who crash-land there. The main way they write is with stamps, in the shape of a dinosaur foot, called Footprint Language though, most signs do have English along the bottom. The dinosaurs are proud of their strength, so they do most of the manual labor that animals do in our world. Technology on this land isn't very advanced, no more than lamps. No telephones, no TVs, no radios, nothing like that. What they do have is powered by something called Sunstones. The Sunstones also keep the carnivores (T-rex's and lovely ones like that) away (all vegetarians here). So far, there are 3 main cities. Waterfall City that is the main city here, who has Mayor Waldo ruling over thatm along with his court. Canyon City, where everybody lives along the edge of a canyon, close to the nesting grounds of the Skybacks (Those big flying dinos i forget the name of) And there are squads of humans who ride Skybacks to protect all of Dinotopia. And Dinofeild, a farm city that feeds half of Dinotopia it has so many feilds surrounding it. Matriarch Rosemary (Waldo's wife, they have a daughter named Maryann) runs things around there until the Harvest has been collected, then she travels around Dinotopia. Every graduating class from the schools of the year gather here at the end of the harvest so they can be assigned a 'habitat' (basically a job, working at the hatchery, where you can get a dinosaur partner from the orphaned eggs, or going to Skybacks training for instance) from Rosemary, she just has an ability to know where people belong. I'll prolly add more in as we go along, way too much to decsribe it all here. Your charrie can either be a new-comer, or can be somebody living here already, your pick Name: Age: Appearance: Personality: How got to Dinotopia: Current city:

Name: Ashlina Casci Age: 18 Appearance: She has dark brown hair that looks black from a distance, with natural blonde highlights in it from being in the sun most of the day. Her eyes are a very shining blue-ish grey, she seems to always have a smile in them as well as on her face. She has a heart-shaped face, but with her hair always down, which seems to suit her, it looks almost triangular. She has a slimmer build, but all of the normal womanly curves. A very attractive woman to most mens eyes. Personality: She is always happy. Nothing seems to ever be able to break her from that. She seems to have infinate paitence, and a very foreward personality. Children love her, and people may dislike her, but she has no known enemies. It is almost impossible to dislike her though. Just never threaten her friends or loved ones, she took plenty of self-defence and other fighting classes as a child. And still trains. How got to Dinotopia: She was born here, knows no other life. Current city: Waterfall city, waiting for the results of her test, to see if she actually graduated.

Ash smiled. Tomorrow she, and the rest of her class, were to head back to their school, hopefully for the last time, to recieve their test results. Of course, now that just about everybody in her class was 18, they would want to be able to travel off, by themselves, and not be holed up in the city. They would want to explore and see the sights they heard about all summer until near the end of harvest season where they all would gather together once again. Due to the want of the kids to travel, you could collect your results any time during the first half of summer, just after the first few days of officially giving the test results out, you would have to go find Zippo at the library, or Maryann if she's available. It all depends on who you had for your main teacher.
While her mind was on this trail, Ash wondered what her own results would look like. She definately wasn't top of her class, but she tried hard, and studied. She hoped that she would do well, her parents counted on her doing well, they lived their own busy lives, and wanted her to do well, even if they couldn't help her. Her father a Skyback and her mother a politician, Ash half wondered how they even met, and had the time to fall in love, but what happens happens. She didn't want to be like them, she just wanted to live a slower and calmer life, maybe in the city of Dinofeild, or one of the smaller towns all around Dinotopia.

Name: Aliena Sanchez
Age: 17
Appearance: pitch black hair down to her shoulders, 'emo fringe' across her left eye. she has colours of red, blue and purple mixed in, in places. her wide eyes r so blue theyre almost litterally purple. her skin is tanned, seeing as she had been brought up in morocco/spain for the majority of her life (she speaks english with an london accent, and spanish with a south spanish accent, her father was morroccan, but brought up in south london [bad side of london =P]) and is dark anyway she has a build like a dancer, but she was very much an hour glass figure. she isn't exactly pretty, but she certainly is very striking. she also has a habit of drawing all the attention to herself, even if she doesn't want it (her father told her that she was just like her spanish mother [she was an explorer and disppeared when Aliena had been seven]).
Personality: very very angry. she grew up never staying in anywhere for longer than two years. she nvr really made any solid friends with anyone, and refuses to get close to anyone for fear of being hurt by them. shes almost perminantly on the defensive. she is very confident, but in such a fashion that she is sure of herself rather than anyone else. she dus make a loyal friend, but it takes a very long time to b considered a friend, and even then it's always hard to tell just wat she thinks. she doesn't talk alot, but she does talk wen something is important or she's interested in it. otherwise shes an avid listener as she soaks up information like a sponge.
How got to Dinotopia: crash landed with her father, he was a piolet, when Aliena was about fourteen, when they were searching for her mother, they were given a lead as to her where abouts. her father died on impact. Aliena burried her father on her own, after a short while of mourning- but he always taught her to live her life to the full no matter and not let any losses hold her back. she still misses him, but always remembrs him best wen she's happy and she feels he's still with her. for 3 years after, she wandered the land, making little money and learning the language of the dinosuars as she went, as most of the creatures that gave her shelter were the dinosaurs of the land, the humans were somewhat wary of her.
Current city: shes nearing Waterfall City after leaving a small family of Skybacks.
(i dunno hw 2 intro her just yet =P)

"Ashlina, honey?" Her mothers voice rang out, catching Ash by suprise, her mother wasn;t supposed to be home till dinner!
"Yes, mother? What is it?" Ash called, walking into the house to try and figure out why her mother was here.
"Darling, can you make a quick run out to Mrs. Hamptons place for me? You know her dino partner, Sleri, has been sick and I took my break to buy her this lovely get well cake and I don't have any time to deliver it myself. Can you do it for me please?" her mother asked as soon as Ash came into the room, took her daughters hands into her own, and kissed her daughters cheeks.
"Of course, mother, you know I will. I'll even pick her up a card on my way out. She's the one that lives in that little outpost town at the edge of the forst outside Waterfall city, correct?" Ash kissed her mothers cheeks in return, and accepted the cake that was hastily almost dropped into her arms.
"Yes, thats her. House 5 on the left. Don't forget that address. I'll see you at dinner. Love. Wish the best to Sleri for me." And just as quickly as she had come, her mother was gone again.
Looking at the cake, Ash noticed that the ridged white frosting around the edges had been smudged quite a bit in her mothers rush, the top of the tray was on very loosely. With a smile, Ash set the cake on the table and removed the top completely. Grabbing a knife from the drawer, she set herself to fixing the cake, and making it look even better. Ash was a cook in her own right, she loved it, and was stellar at it. Her parents were very grateful, neither of them had enough time to cook anything. She had even took to keeping the house clean while her parents were gone, dispite the messes they both made. Ash didn't mind, it gave her plenty of time to think.
Within moments, the cake was perfect again, and was even a touch fancier than it was when Ash's mother bought it. She smiled to herself, returned the top to the try, making sure it was on tightly, then went on her way to the outpost town where Mrs. Hampton was going to be in for a suprise.
(Broky, just have your girl run into mine, as you can see, her destination is outside of Waterfall city, so they can meet on the road or in the town)

Aliena sighed and hitched her backpack on her shoulder. the first family that took her in when she first crashed into Dinotopia gave it to her when she told them she was planning to leave them. she kept it as a reminder even though it was thread bare and rediculously old. she sighed heavily, and smiled happily. she loved being on the move. she knew she'd never get back to the rest of the world, or even find her mother. her father was dead, as she was dead to the rest of the world. she was so glad she never made any friends, or allowed herself to get close to anyone. she'd have been miserable otherwise.
"i can't wai' till i can ge' bak to civilisation… maybe i shuda stayed with Lilly and her kids," she sighed, remembering the Skyback she had left three weeks previously.
as she reminised, she bumped straight into a girl, carrying a package.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! I should have been watching where I was going! are you okay?" Ash asked, stopping to make sure the girl was.
The cakes tray's top had popped off again, and Ash quickly tried to click it back into place. it half clicked, then popped again, landing on the ground in the middle of the road. She made a quick scramble, handing the cake to the girl she had just run into to make sure it didn't get trampled by all of the humans, carts, and dinosaurs roaming the streets. When she came back sucessfully, she realised what she did.
"Oh, no! I'm sorry again. I shouldn't have done that! I'll just take this cake back from you now." ash apologized, once again, completely popping the cakes top back onto its tray, "I'm always told to think before I act, but I never seem to be able too."

Aliena stared at her, somewhat confused. Dinosaurs were that polite, sure, but as far as she knew there was yet to be a single human that was genuinely that nice. it simply made no sense in her brain that the girl was actually being… well… nice!
"i'm fine…" she said gruffly, picking herself up off the floor, then muttering a particularly rude curse as she colapsed to the floor again. her previously broken ankle had decided to set off a twinge of pain up her leg. it wasn't broken again. she knew that much, but it certainly wasn't full healed and therefore alot more suseptable to further ingery.
"damnit…" she muttered, hand flying down to the throbbing joint, "just mi freakin' luck!"

"Oh, sorry! Did I hurt you?" Ash kneeled down next to the girl, and set the cake off to the side, but out of the way.
Trying to sit on her knees, she wobbled a bit in the rather strong breeze before sitting all the way down to prevent that.
"I'm Ashlina Casci. Just so you know. Do you mind if I look at your ankle? I used to study at my aunts clinic when I was little, and I ended up helping out rather than doing my schoolwork, so I know a thing or two on medical stuff." Ash told the girl, wanting the permission before trying to look at her ankle. She hated to seem pushy.

Aliena was now beyond shock about the stranger. niceness didnt even to begin to describe her. under normal circumstances she could have told the girl she was fine and be on her way. but she wasn't stupid. she knew very well she was in no condition to argue. she was in pain and if she ran into any trouble, she would be as vulernable as a kitten with its eyes still shut.
"yes please," she muttered, then added, quite gruffly, and simply out of curtasy, "I'm Aliena."

"Nice to meet you, Aliena!" she greeted the girl cheerfully, before carefully removing the girls hand from her ankle.
With a careful and quick glanceover, Ash came to a quick decision. It was very easy to tell what had happened to her ankle from anybody with any expierence with medical stuff. Well, anybody who knew faintly what it looked like at least.
"You have just sprained your ankle. I wouldn't lift anything for awhile, and I'd try and get a brace for it. C'mon, I'm going to visit a family friend whose Sorian- dinosaur if you're not quite used to us yet, you look like a newcomer, partner is sick. Bringing them the cake. Anyway, she has a few braces she doesn;t use anymore cause she used to be quite the athlete. I think she may have her ankle brace. And she'll let you use it. Want to come with?" Auru explained and asked, gettting to her feet, and offering her hand down to Aliena.

"uh…" stammered Aliena, she realised she had no other choice. she hurt too much to move on her own. she hated relying on others, but she knew when she needed help. "yes please," she murmered, "thanks." she took Ash's hand and hoisted herself up to her feet. then stumbled and put all her weight on the other girl.
