Mkay. Literally nobody has come back, but I’ll start this while I can.

I took Paleopikachu’s new Rift 2.0 thread and polished it into this work of crap.

This is the new Rift. It is six years after Glove’s death. All past characters are either non-canon or dead. During these six years, the map has changed.

The new map. Courtesy of me. I guess you could tell it’s me just by looking at it, given how shitty it looks compared to the other one.

Anyways, the deal is simple; major earthquakes and magnetic behavior has shifted the Rift around and threw different regions into new locations. Many places from before are gone.

1. Deserted Plains: A lonely flatland. Some of the major rivers were buried by sediment, creating the Plains. This area is home to dozens of different species of Stegosaurs and Hadrosaurs, but the apex predator here is Proceratosaurus.

2. High Jungle: A mystical aura waves in the High Jungle. It is said to be the site where Jasper held his last stand against the dreaded Ridley. Smaller predators such as Masiakasaurus live here alongside larger herbivores such as Muttaburrasaurus.

3. Mount Kratakota: A massive mountain that was created by the earthquake that killed Jasper and Ridley. Many dinosaurs usually die here. The dinosaurs that live here are only those that come from Late Cretaceous North America, with the exception of Cathartesaura, which comes from Mid-Cretaceous Argentina.

4. Ruined Castle: The ruined Mount Luckyone crumbled, leaving behind the volcanic shaft. Sinraptors, Deinonychus, and hadrosaurs inhabit the area. And yes, the Goddamned Bats still live here.

5. The Swamp: Kaiser Greedy lived here years ago before his army was crushed. Even now, danger rings in the air. Mostly home to Spinosaurs, Troodontids, and crocodiles.

6. Sandstone Seas: This used to be a huge ocean millennia ago. Coral and sea rocks can still be seen here. Few dare to enter the Sandstone Seas, lest the sun dry them to a husk. You can find some Brachylophosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, Lesothosaurus, or Triceratops here, but I’d say about 60% of the dinosaurs here are Velociraptor.

7. The Mountains of Nothingness: Before, this was the dreaded Blizzard. Now, it is a mountain range. The temperature, while still cold, is now warm enough to support life. Mostly home to Cretaceous Argentinean/Jurassic North American/Jurassic European dinosaurs, like Amargasaurus, Apatosaurus, or Juravenator, though chayongopterid(I don’t know how to spell it)pterosaurs live here as well.

8. Hell’s House: An active volcano. Every week it erupts, killing thousands. The only animal that lives here is Tropeognathus.

9. The Y-Knot/Watering Hole: Ancile and Lapis were born here, they lived here, and died here. This is the figurative and literal center of the Rift; animals gather to gossip or to trade, hunt together, fight, etc. Hundreds of various species live here.

10. The Wasteland: A swamp surrounding Mount Kratakota. Home to ceratopsians and tyrannosaurs.

11. Xavi River: Formerly the Steam Stream, this river runs boiling hot during the day, but cools down to barely above freezing at night. Nobody lives in the river per se, but they live around it. Spinosaurs can usually be found here.

12. The Boneyard: Thousands of dinosaurs are buried up here on this plateau at the top of Mount Kratakota. Paragon himself died here. Only small carnivores and hadrosaurs live here.

13. Voodoo Forest: The two Twin Towers crumbled, allowing the Fire Woods to grow at a very fast rate. Bad things always happen here, hence the name. For the most part ceratopsians live here, but there are Megalosaurus and Dilophosaurus as well.

14. The Sea of Something: A sea full of something. Mostly full of plesiosaurs and mosasaurs.

RULES:

You must be completely accurate with your characters. No exceptions.

Small mutations such as being slightly larger than average or having enhanced sight is allowed, but for every strength there must be a flaw, i.e. a Gorgosaurus with enhanced hearing cannot see as well as a Gorgosaurus without enhanced hearing.

Major mutations such as the ability to spit acid or a Juravenator lifting three tons are not allowed.

Psychopaths are allowed, but don’t go too far with that.

Character development is highly encouraged.

We already had to live through vast hordes of stupid shit involving antagonists, do not add another without our consent, and even then they cannot be too major like Kaiser Greedy.

You can do stuff like build rudimentary weapons or do flips or some humanoid things, but, again, don’t go too far with that. Don’t have them be furries(scalies?)/borderline-humanoid reptiles.

Swearing is allowed, just don’t go too...overboard.

You can injure other characters, but you cannot kill them without their owner’s consent unless the target in question is a very minor character.

Your dinosaur characters cannot visit the Dragonairian Islands, and your draconian/human characters cannot visit the Rift.

No curses or magic or that stuff.

Natural disasters can happen, they should be fairly common in the Rift, but they cannot happen extremely frequently(i.e. an earthquake happening the day after an electric crystal meteor shower).

Anything NSFW such as sex, mating between two completely different species, or sexually assaulting anyone under the age of 20 dinosaur years will result in the character(s), and possibly the RPer, being banned.

Overpowered characters can and usually will result in me(or someone else...usually me) killing them.

Certain dinosaurs, such as Utahraptor, Spinosaurus, and Ankylosaurus cannot be used as characters, but can be found in the wild. The Tyrannosaurus rex species is extinct and can neither be used nor found in the wild.

There is a limit of five major characters per RPer. No limit on secondary and minor characters.

All major characters should be introduced like so(I’ll start with my character):

Name: Adder

Species: Dilophosaurus

Gender(Biological, not mental; I don’t want to deal with a herd of “male lesbians” attacking me): Male

Age(First in that certain species’s years, then convert it to human years): 16 Dilophosaurus years(4 human years)

Appearance(You can add a picture if you want, but a written description is a must): A very dark blue, with red scars all over his face, golden crests, and a white underbelly.

Personality: A fairly depressed individual. This mostly is due to his tragic backstory, which involved his the death of his entire family(as well as the pack of Baryonyx that raised him).

History(Tell us about your character’s backstory): Adder is the third youngest child of a batch of five hatchlings conceived by two Dilophosaurus. His mother was killed by his father before Adder hatched. After this his father went insane. He cannibalized Adder’s two unborn siblings, intoxicated Adder’s older sister, drove his older brother to suicide, and became a wanted outlaw before he was captured and executed. Adder was eventually raised by a pack of five Baryonyx, and under their care he learned the skills he knows today. When he reached the age of 13 Dilophosaurus years the pack tried to kill him, as is their custom. He managed to overpower the pack, but refused to kill them. As a result, Adder ran away and lived in isolation from the rest of the world in the Mountains of Nothingness. Two years later he returned to his pack, only to see that they were all killed by the Howling Death. To this day Adder makes daily visits to the Watering Hole in the hopes that he can prevent his depression, to no avail. He did manage to make friends with two other dinosaurs(that will be introduced much later) that provide him with just enough care that keeps him well away from the desire to kill himself, though his hatred for those that kill innocents or important people will never subside. And yes, I know that I made this description extremely dark and edgy.

Territory(Say where your character lives): Deserted Plains/Watering Hole

Size(1-15 feet=⭐️, 16-30 feet=⭐️⭐️, 31-50 feet=⭐️⭐️⭐️, 51+ feet=⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️): ⭐️⭐️

Class(Good, Neutral, Outlaw, Evil): Good, though he can verge on being Neutral/an Outlaw.

Importance(Major, secondary, or minor): Major

Secondary and minor characters do not need this introduction, but you can use this for them if you want.
