Reader OCs (From the words of their creators!)

Seth Saurolophus (Greymonfire108)

Name: Seth

Species: Saurolophus angustirostris (as opposed to Saurolophus osborni like Ducky)

Age: 19

"Seth has a tough personality like Cera, but he's also a little shy."

"He's also brave, smart, and kind. He also loves to fight sharpteeth whenever he gets the chance to."

Jada Bajadasaurus (Zee Docking)

Species: Bajadasaurus

Age: 17

Length: 37.7 ft

Weight: 2.2 tons
Height: 11.5 ft"

"She is like a spine neck because she has a pointing set of spines on her neck."
"Eats plants, hates bullies, bad guys and sharpteeth but is ok if they are a friendly sharptooth"
"She's mostly black with reddish yellow markings and green eyes"

"She's a bit of a loner she doesn't really have any friends because of her past"
"She's very loyal and trusting but can be distrustful and defensive and shy"
"Likes helping other dinos"

"at first she's nervous around other longnecks"

(Zee Docking also wrote her backstory which you'll see in Chapter 25!)

Cricket Mononykus (The Jewelstone Queen)

"He is Mononykus (Oneclaw) Which is a dinosaur with only one claw on each hand."
"He is covered in feathers."
"He's about 10 years old."
"His size is about the same as a bigmouth hatchling."

"He has a friendly personality, he is a little shy when meeting new people, but when he warms up to them he is just a little innocent child!"

"Almost forgot to say that he is a meat eater, but since he is small he usually eats bugs and lizards."

"Sometimes he gets made fun of for having only one claw."

Light Kentrosaurus (RedMageKnight)

Length: 4.26 m

Age: 17

"Color, red firery scales for main part and beige underside, brown plates"

"French accent, he's kind, he's not used to being social do to standard social conversations boring to him and do to have being alone and lonely for so long without truest friend but otherwise friendly and normal once he gets to know the others and them to know him and accept him on who he is first rather than what he is, he cares for his friends and his new home"

"He doesn't like to hear, heard and see unrealistic and or nonsense things happening against him and them but more than fine with it for their side, he doesn't like seeing and hearing bigoted/racism, he thinks they're all equals and they should all be equals"

"He's kind of lazy but it's fine for this time period, he's got a sweet tooth for tree sweets"

"A green tree star shaped necklace around his neck"

"Bunch of small spikes on top of head"

"Good balance on hind legs"

"a fear of heights"

"Light/me is a almagamation of the main character's trait, good heart like Littlefoot, stubborn like Cera, kind and sometimes can be as happy-go-lucky and positive like Ducky, the latter in a whole different way sure but still in the same meaning as cheering up someone in need or going through a sad period, as fears like Petrie, gentle like Spike, eager as Cjomper and responsible as Ducky really the one spot I'm taking the most is Ruby's spot in the game, being a strategist to boot"

Keeter Pentaceratops (Animatic Psychopath)

"Color is dark blue with blackish horns. Age is 13."

"Personality wise he is stoic,reserved,brave yet particularly stubborn. They'll be hurt in the right eye. He is a loner because both his parents died to sharpteeth after his hatching and he was forced to raise himself alone. It resulted in him becoming too self reliant on himself and reluctant to ever rely on others because it makes him feel weak. He laughs at the gang because he thinks it's funny that they're so much older than him yet rely on each-other when he's taken care of himself his entire life."

Dagara "Gara" Amargasaurus (The Mr E)

Colour:
- Mostly ocher
- Burnt sienna markings flow down neck, back, side of stomach and hind legs; vaguely inspired by paisley and African fabric patterns
- Burnt sienna neck spikes
- Golden eyes
- Dark peach underbelly

Age: 17

"Size: Roughly that of a threehorn - taller but less weighty; about 2.5 tons, 30 feet long

Basic Personality Notes:
- Blunt
- Sarcastic - such is her delivery that it can be hard to tell if she's serious or not.
- Jaded with life
- Aloof and rather listless
- Initially refuses to smile, laugh or even talk unless she chooses to - sometimes fails when something is simply too amusing or pleasant to ignore
- Tries to seem tough, but has a sweeter, peppier side that shows through at times, whether she wants it to or not, as she was raised on threehorn standards
- Despite her many faults, she has a conscience, respects kindness and will respond to this in her own way, if she's convinced it's genuine
- Attempts at kindness and friendliness can come off the wrong way, or her moodiness and inexperience result in mixed results
- Inwardly quite shy and awkward, lost when a situation requires something other than toughness
- Territorial: marks objects as hers by scratching them with her spikes
- Does not take well personal space invaded, until she warms up to the 'invaders'
- Naturally jumpy despite aloofness, brandishing spikes when startled or threatened, which can lead to misunderstandings
- Sometimes sharpens spikes against boulders instead of trees, creating a high-pitched noise like nails on a chalk board to passive aggressively irritate, deter and/or drown out others when she wants to be left alone or silence someone
- Expects prejudice from other species, which colours her interactions; ironically prejudiced towards threehorns because of this
- Somewhat likes Littlefoot, impressed by his personality and height
- Initially dislikes Cera
- Stubborn and determined
- Clever, sometimes fiery fighter, should it come into play
- Has an inferiority complex that flares up around threehorns and, to a lesser extent, longnecks.
- Felt she was never 'good enough' to live among threehorns and feels short by longneck standards
- This is her starting point, by no means how she should remain indefinitely"

"Attempted to hold her ground against a rogue threehorn, only to have some of her spikes broken and leg injured as the threehorn sought to teach her a lesson."

"Was kicked out of her adoptive threehorn herd for attempting to fight a trio of bullies, though their bullying was ignored. This leads her to believe mixed families and herds do not work. In her mind, sharpteeth aren't necessarily monsters for following nature. It's the leafeaters who CAN get along, but choose to mistreat others, who are worse. Ironically, she is one of these, anticipating the worst from others and preemptively treating them in a manner she thinks they deserve, until they begin to prove her wrong"

- Stands up for and helps out those she perceives as innocent, weak and/or generally underprivileged, especially kids, but tends to assume the worst about those with cushy lives - Great Valley residents would qualify.
- If she can help it, prefers not to be seen doing good deeds, as she thinks it undermines the idea that she's tough enough to stand up for herself
- Has a primative culinary skill of mixing different foods to make them taste better
