Name: Steeltalon
Age: 4 years
Species: Velociraptor
Length: about 8 ft.
Height: about 5 ft.
Weight: 85 lbs
Personality: aggressive when you first meet her, but as you get to know her she's more friendly. Her trust is very hard to earn, and easy to break once you've earned it.
Description: A general JP3 female Velociraptor. White with black stripes and flecks. Glowing red eyes. The only unusual things about her are the amount of scars she has laced across her body and her solid gray claws. Several of her scars are from other Raptors, but some are from T-rexes and Spinos. She's a loner, feeding mainly off kills other raptors or T-rexes have made.
Steeltalon stiffened, sniffing the air uncertainly. Bending down, she thought she could smell a faint trace of velociraptor. Ever aggressive, she walked forward cautiously, her head low. Her treacherous stomach growled, and Steeltalon winced.
She'd have to hunt or find the T-Rex known as Crusher. Steeltalon had heard many things about this huge Rex. He had killed many Spinosaurs and rival Tyrannosaurs. Undecided, Steeltalon swung her head from side to side. A low growl escaped her. She could smell rotting meat, but that was mingled with the threatening scent of Crusher. Tipping her head to one side, she listened intently to her surroundings.
Steeltalon heard nothing, so she made her way toward the smell of meat. It wasn't that fresh--probably two or three days old. The Rex's scent was even older than that, so this kill was made after he was here. Steeltalon uncertainly raised her head and sniffed again. The scent of raptor was much stronger here. This must be their nesting area.
Her hunger was stronger than her fear, so Steeltalon went to see how much meat was left on the carcass. Her eyes widened, surprised as she saw it was almost a full body of a Spinosaur. Next to it was the body of a Rex with sky-blue eyes. Crusher's scent was very strong on the Rex body, and on the Spino body too. Steeltalon was confused. Had the huge Rex she had heard so much about really killed both of these rivals?
Steeltalon's stomach growled again, louder this time now that there was even a small chance that she would be fed. She crept closer to the Spino and plunged her teeth into the ribcage. It was soft, and all the ribs were broken. She forced herself not to gag as the putrid taste reached her tongue. Spitting, she stood up. This body was much older than she had first thought. It was carrion now. "No good," Steeltalon hissed angrily, knowing it would be the same with the Rex carcass.
Her only hope was with the Velociraptors or taking a chance with Crusher. She didn't have to decide now--it was getting dark out and she needed a place to rest. Making her way to a sheltered hollow, Steeltalon curled up for the night.
EDITED by The Kingpin: As TT said, dont double post. it gets annoying since it's much easier to put it all in one post, instead of taking more time to open the post a Reply page again...
