Jurassic Park in the Hunger Games Universe Ideas

So these are some ideas that are essentially fan fiction for how the Jurassic Park character would be as Victors in the Hunger Games universe. I’m starting with characters from the books/first two films.

Ideas incoming:

Alan Grant-pickaxe weapon, dealt with reptilian mutts talent is illustration (ie scientific illustration)-Badlands inspired arena 

Ellie Sattler-knife and poison for weapon-uses plants to survive and to kill-talent is gardening-floodplains ecosystem

Ian Malcolm-predicts what will happen, hides and survives (this is basically his weapon)-made to suffer post-victory with a leg injury, so that they eventually have to amputate it, replacement leg has to constantly be repaired in the Capital or else it will release some sort of poison, slowly killing him-this is a punishment for “outsmarting” gamemakers-talent-digital art

Kelly Curtis (Book version, not related to Ian Malcolm)-darts for her weapon, uses lots of out of the box thinking to survive, also builds vehicles…talent is bicycle riding

Arby Benton-tech? breaks into computers in the arena, puts clues together and when he succeeds, gets trapped in a bunkers while a disaster occurs and thus survives-talent is making video  games-

Jack Thorne (Doc Thorne)-solar powered weapons, diy’d them in the arena has a ton of survival skills as well-talent is robotics

Eddie Carr-one of Thorne’s tributes who died in the arena…or who was killed afterwards in a suspiciously timed accident

Richard Levine-Career tribute who survives through sponsors and being the last one standing…he doesn’t have a weapon…talent is rock collecting

Donald Gennaro-A tribute who uses fire as his weapon…burns a large area to the ground and is the last one standing- talent is theatrical performance (acting)

Henry Wu-A career who uses his knowledge of biotechnology to survive-probably a sci fi heavy arena-poison needles are his weapon-talent is genetic engineering-I think this is realistic for a career tribute to have

Ray Arnold-A career who builds an underwater weapon in a water based arena, talent-sailboating

Robert Muldoon-a career whose parents make the hunting weapons for the capital, weapon is a rocket which he’s been using forever-talent architectural design

Ed Regis-Wins with his PR prowress and manipulation of the press…once he becomes a mentor his district gets more victors -talent-video editing

Dr. Gerry Harding-weapon is snake venom, while in the arena he befriends mockingjays since he’s an avian vet specifically this causes him to be one of the tributes whose daughter was intentionally reaped later on…talent is veterinary medicine-think it makes sense to let him have that if he’s from an animal husbandry district and it would play well with propaganda-ie look what he gets to do his passion, and also makes the birds and snakes seem less rebellious

Dr. Sarah Harding-daughter of Dr. Gerry Harding who is being punished with her reaping-paralyzing serum for her weapon, finds out how to survive by following the animals, builds a treehouse-talent is horseback riding 

Hammond-is either head gamemaker/retired or a dictator, not sure what I want to do besides have him be from the Capital

Thorne cleaned the nest out of the microwave, and heated up some canned beef stew. He found a package of paper plates decorated in a Halloween motif—pumpkins and bats—and spooned the food onto the plates. The two kids ate hungrily.

He gave a plate to Sarah, then turned to Levine. "What about you?"

Levine was staring out the window. "No."

Thorne shrugged.

Arby came over, holding his plate. "Is there any more?"

"Sure," Thorne said. He gave him his own plate.

Why is Jurassic park trending??? Anyways here are some character design ideas (my favourite hobbie) for the lost world plus some skeches i did with them...

Ok so, explaning these... in an ideal universe i would really like to see a lost world miniseries that's a mix of both movie and book... because the movie makes some really cool stuff but the book has some parts that feel more cohesive and vice versa...

Rambles about how plot and stuff would work below

So, depending if you go with book or movie 1 ending the begining would change because of hammond, but it would be basically the same anyways. I mixed sarah and levine because she's basically levine in the movie and while book sarah is a badass i think it would be fun to se her journey to becomenong that, like she goes from this self centered research focused kinda loser to this badass girl. Thorne and eddie should be merged too but i don't know why i separated them.

I like kelly being ian's daughter but i would change her motive to go on the mission, instead of her wanting to be with her dad she wants to help her idol sarah and prove she's useful so she stays the same as in the movies, but i think she should be more math and computer focused instead of gymnastics just because i think it's useful in these movies and it would make a little more sense.

Ian stays the same as the movies because he's perfect like that. Plotwise i would stick to the book but with the movie's team, like hammonds nephew is replaced with dogson but the rest stay the same, i would really like to see more scenes of the book like with the carnotauros, or the velociraptor chase, or sarah getting the car scene and stuff like that but also scenes from the movie like the animals scaping or the two groups meeting and having to kinda work togheter.

I would just cut Nick from the narrative because he's kinda useless, and the san Diego ending because it's kinda idk just there?

But yah that's it kinda

I'm telling you, we should have tested first, Doc. Should have done it by the book. You don't come to a place with poisonous chickens if you're not sure your vehicles will hold up.

My favorite correct quote from tlw

Levine: Why are we waiting here?

Malcolm *over the radio to Thorne*: It would never occur to him to thank you for saving his life.

Thorne: Evidently not.

Levine: Who are you talking to? Is it Malcolm? Is he here?

Thorne: Yes.

Levine: He's agreeing with me, isn't he? 

Thorne: ...

"Human beings are so destructive," Malcolm said. "I sometimes think we're a kind of plague, that will scrub the earth clean. We destroy things so well that I sometimes think, maybe that's our function. Maybe every few eons, some animal comes along that kills off the rest of the world, clears the decks, and lets evolution proceed to its next phase." Kelly shook her head. She turned away from Malcolm and moved up the boat, to sit alongside Thorne. "Are you listening to all that?" Thorne said. "I wouldn't take any of it too seriously. It's just theories. Human beings can't help making them, but the fact is that theories are just fantasies. And they change. When America was a new country, people believed in something called phlogiston. You know what that is? No? Well, it doesn't matter, because it wasn't real anyway. They also believed that four humors controlled behavior. And they believed that the earth was only a few thousand years old. Now we believe the earth is four billion years old, and we believe in photons and electrons, and we think human behavior is controlled by things like ego and self-esteem. We think those beliefs are more scientific and better." "Aren't they? Thorne shrugged. "They're still just fantasies. They're not real. Have you ever seen a self-esteem? Can you bring me one on a plate? How about a photon? Can you bring me one of those?" Kelly shook her head. "No, but..." "And you never will, because those things don't exist. No matter how seriously people take them," Thorne said. "A hundred years from now, people will look back at us and laugh. They'll say, 'You know what people used to believe? They believed in photons and electrons. Can you imagine anything so silly?' They'll have a good laugh, because by then there will be newer and better fantasies." Thorne shook his head. "And meanwhile, you feel the way the boat moves? That's the sea. That's real. You smell the salt in the air? You feel the sunlight on your skin? That's all real. You see all of us together? That's real. Life is wonderful. It's a gift to be alive, to see the sun and breathe the air. And there isn't really anything else. Now look at that compass, and tell me where south is. I want to go to Puerto Cortes. It's time for us all to go home."
