NOTE: While I am training as a palaeontologist, I do not claim to be an expert. Therefore, although I will be conducting research into portraying more accurate dinosaurs, there will be possibly be discrepancies or inaccuracies either due to my own research or the lack of (accurate) data available.
-> SYNOPSIS <-
Cretaceous Island is based on the Jurassic Park/World franchise. You will step into the role of the head T-Rex keeper.
You’ve been working as a T-Rex keeper for over ten years now and every day is as interesting as the last.
Unfortunately, not even looking after some of the deadliest creatures in the world was enough to prepare you for the carnage that was about to unfold.
When the system goes down and the dinosaurs escape with evacuation impossible, it’s up to you and a ragtag team to restore order and protect both man and dinosaur.
-> ROMANTIC OPTIONS <-
GRAY/GRACE COLLINS [M/F] - Your big boss is cool, calm, and ruthless. It is well known that they’re not someone to cross, however, they seem have a soft spot for you which some might consider strange considering they also happen to be your ex-fiancé(e). [Poly with Nikolaj available].
LEE MIN-SUN [M/F/NB] - As Operations Manager of the Island, Lee is no-nonsense, grumpy, and has no real time for the corporate side of things that xe’s forced to deal with, but xe has a heart of gold under all the bluster and would do anything to protect those that xe cares for. [Poly with Aija available].
NIKOLAJ OLESEN [M] - He’s your best friend and the embodiment of the term ‘golden retriever energy’. He’s also the head raptor keeper. You’re not entirely sure how those two things go together, but it seems that you’re about to find out. [Poly with Gray/Grace available].
CIERRA DE LA ROSA [F] - A tourist that is vacationing on the island for the third time. You’ve met her a handful of times during those visits, but you haven’t found out much about her beyond her name and the fact that she’s one of the most beautiful women you’ve ever seen.
AIJA MISHRA [NB] - Highly intelligent and more at home among computers than people, Aija is a techie who works in the control room. They’re one of the friendliest and sassiest people you’ve ever met, but, in a crisis, there’s no one you’d rather have on your side. [Poly with Lee available].

-> WARNINGS <-
This is an 18+ wip due to blood and gore, character and animal deaths, explicit sex (optional), explicit language, medical procedures, violence and injury, and potentially body horror.
OK so this might sound weird but since MC and G had been together for quite long (6 years right) im assuming they HAVE been intimate atleast several times or..
If mc was comfortable with sex, then yes, they would have been intimate many times.
hello!!! can things start again with an ewb with collins (exes with benefits) like mc denying their old feelings but remembering how good sex was with collins but having to face the love that never went away
Hi!! I’m afraid that won’t be an option just because this is all pretty fast-paced.
It’s why all the ROs and mc have somewhat of an established relationship (with Cierra and her lil mysterious ways being the exception - although mc has met her several times).
G and mc fall back into a relationship before they fall back into bed.
hello! good morning. so, i'm assuming the polyams are triad and not the v type. If so, I wanted to ask: what do/would G and Nikolaj see in each other? What about Lee and Aija? Is there any shared history between the pairs outside of MC and the job? Or did they all meet bc of work? Ty!
Hello! Yes, they are triads, sorry I forgot to make that clear.
G and Niko met when Niko first joined, but they became close because of their relationships with mc. They became good friends and, before things got too hectic in their lives, they would go out together for meals. Niko was really sad when G and mc broke up, but he understood why and remained friends with G (with mc’s blessing).
Lee and Aija met a couple of weeks after Aija joined. Neither of them were watching where they were going and crashed into each other. Lee, who was extremely stressed over a new exhibition, snapped at poor Aija before storming off. Once Lee had the chance to calm down, xe came back with a coffee and a few pastries that xe’d found out they liked and apologised. Aija was really surprised, but it started a surprising friendship. Lee is rather protective of Aija.
Who are the big spoons and who are the little spoons out of the ROs?
Big spoon: G, Aija.
Little spoon: Lee.
Both: Niko, Cierra.
G likes holding mc in their arms and tucking them in close. They like knowing that mc is safe and warm and in their space.
Aija loves snuggling mc. If mc is smaller than Aija, they like feeling like they’re protecting them and if mc is taller than Aija, they like feeling like a lil backpack.
While xe would struggle to admit it, Lee loves to be held. Xe would like it even more if you traced patterns on xyr skin or played with xyr hair.
Niko depends. Sometimes he wants you in his arms so he can tangle himself up with you. Other times he wants to be in your arms so he can feel your heartbeat clearly against his back.
Cierra also depends, but she leans more towards little spoon. If mc wanted her to the big spoon, she’d wrap them up and keep them cocooned in her warmth, but usually she likes being a little spoon so she can feel taken care of.
As a Spanish speaker I'm curious as to what inspired the name 'Cierra' because in Spanish it stems from the verb 'cerrar' which is to close. So it's like naming someone' Close' as in 'Close the door' which in Spanish would be 'Cierra la puerta' . So I'm super curious as to how that came about. If it's not a spoiler is it a symbolic reference for the story?. Maybe it's been mentioned before but my tumblr doesn't let me scroll down for some reason :')). This game looks super good by the way!! /lh ❤️❤️✨
Thank you! 💖💖
Honestly, I feel like of embarrassed now, but I didn’t know any of this, so there’s no real meaning to why I called her Cierra.
I just thought the name Cierra was very pretty which I felt suited her!
The rest of the cast: watching as MC and G get into a sexy shouting match over unresolved issues two second after one of their friends just got mauled to death by a velociraptor
… yeah it makes sense why there wouldn’t be much angst LMAO
Honestly 😭
Not only is it insensitive, but it would be way too noisy. Most dinosaurs have very acute hearing and one minute they’d be arguing and the next everyone would become dino chow…
Will you get to play as a crazy cat lady but for your dinosaurs??? (either way i'm already referring to them as my babies in my head rn)
I always call them my babies/hatchlings/duckling/little shadows/pretty girls/etc. (and the ROs call them mc’s babies) while writing, but I have to keep reminding myself that some mc’s wouldn’t do that, so I have to have more neutral names as well.
To answer your question though, you can absolutely go crazy cat lady on your baby dinos. Get their picture printed on jumpers and totes and pillows.
DROPPPPPPP NIKOLAJ FACTS NOWWWWWW(pls🥺🥺) I LOVE GOLDEN RETRIEVER CHARACTERS JSWJWSKJQS
ME TOO!!
-> Niko was a dinosaur kid and he still keeps up to date with all the facts and new research about the dinosaurs on the Island. He says it’s because if a kid asks him about a dinosaur that isn’t a raptor, he wants to be able to tell them everything possible.
-> Before he came to the Island, he had three rescue dogs. G’s dad wouldn’t let him bring them so he left them with his brother. Whenever he has leave to go back to Denmark, his pups are the first ones he goes to see.
-> Niko knows sign language.
-> His favourite colour is yellow and he always incorporates it into his outfits somehow.
-> Niko joined three years after mc and as soon as he met them, he decided that they were going to be his best friend.
-> He often brings drinks and food to mc while they work to make sure they get some sustenance. If possible, he’ll get them to a cafe or restaurant for a proper meal.
-> The Velociraptors (Zolzaya, Orghana, & Delbee) are his lil munchkins. They imprinted on him, so they’re quite happy to hang out with him and nap on him (even if he has to be careful of his fingers).
-> Niko and Aija are good friends and often hang out together in their down time.
