#extinction poll

[bracketsoffear]

John Gaius (The Locked Tomb) "Originally part of a team of scientists tasked with saving humanity from climate change, John was gifted strange necromantic powers by earth itself. He proceeded to use these powers to essentially start a cult. He attempts to convince various nations and companies to follow his plans for how to save the planet, but nothing works and eventually the whole thing has gone to such shit that John NUKES THE EARTH AND EVERY HUMAN STILL ON IT. He can feel them all die and uses their power to fuel himself, spending the next ten thousand years chasing after the trillionaires who escaped the planet, blaming them for the destruction of humanity. He is so afraid of Extinction that he literally causes the mass Extinction of every living thing on earth. Oh also he takes the dead, resurrected soul of planet earth and traps it in a barbie doll, and what is more Extinction than the soul of our planet trapped in plastic?"

The Final Pam (Monster Factory) "Well, you start with Fallout, already a highly Extinction-aligned game. Then, by breaking the laws of the universe, you begin to tear it apart from the inside out, bare-handed, no holds barred, accompanied only by the memories of your many husbands and sons. Then, when that is not enough, when the level of visceral destruction you have left in your wake is not enough to slake your thirst for vengeance, when the firepower of a thousand landmines is not enough, then! You ascend. You rip down the world layer by layer, until all that remains is the delicate framework that holds it all together. The world combusts and reforms, an endless, deathless realm that you are simply too great to be confined by.

This is what it is to be the Final Pam.

(For anyone not familiar with the story of Pam, Who Death Forgot, take about an hour or so and treat yourself to the three-part epic. Congratulations! You're one of today's lucky 10,000.) (CW: video game blood and violence, insects, occasional flashing lights and loud noises)"

Will you welcome your extinction in the morning rays?

[willtheweaver]

Just like the last time, all animals will behave as they would in nature (or as close to for all extinct species) the only difference is that your defender(s) will avoid causing friendly fire. However, any attempt to harm and/or eat your defender(s) will cause them to turn on you.

Also thought it wise to specify specific options to avoid confusion and people trying to bend the rules. (Sorry if I’m sounding like a party-pooper)

[a-dinosaur-a-day]

Quaternary includes both the Pleistocene and Holocene extinction pulses, even though the first may not be entirely anthropogenic

I’m not including the great oxygenation event because that is the least clear in terms of whether or not it actually was an extinction

OWEN'S NEXT TOP BEASTIE: EXTINCT ANIMALS WILD CARD ROUND 1

information + propaganda under the cut!!

Spinosaurus

Bio: Spinosaurus were river-dwelling carnivores that lived during the Cretaceous period. Their name comes from the distinctive 'sail' on their back, made up of seven-foot tall spines. Spinosaurus was a strong swimmer and a fierce predator, hunting almost exclusively in the water. Its skull was long and crocodile-like, with greater bone density for more control over its buoyancy, and it's currently the largest known carnivorous dinosaur at ~46-59 feet in length.

Propaganda: these dudes are fuckin sick. my favorite dinosaur by a long shot and i shouldnt have to explain why. also every new discovery seems to steer them away from being a sick ass carnivore to a duck billed weirdo and im so here for ittttt

Anomalocaris

Bio: Anomalocaris were the greatest thing to happen to the Cambrian period. These funky little bastards had a body structure so unconventional it defied classification for years. They were apex predators of the Cambrian ocean, and one of the key species in defining the predator-prey relationships we recognize today. Giant compound eyes for visual hunting, huge grasping tendrils out front, and a segmented body- what's not to love?

Propaganda: just go here ok?

Angel of Extinction, inspired by the thylacine and passenger pigeon. I'm not sure which alternate colorway to go with, let me know your favorite in the poll below.

Pollution (Good Omens) "Literal horseperson of the apocalypse and representation of things like global warming and plastics in the water and oil spills and other cataclysmic manmade change. They took over from Pestilence (who was obviously a corruption avatar) when he retired because he wasn't relevant anymore. Also their costume design slaps they literally bleed oil.

John Gaius (The Locked Tomb) "Originally part of a team of scientists tasked with saving humanity from climate change, John was gifted strange necromantic powers by earth itself. He proceeded to use these powers to essentially start a cult. He attempts to convince various nations and companies to follow his plans for how to save the planet, but nothing works and eventually the whole thing has gone to such shit that John NUKES THE EARTH AND EVERY HUMAN STILL ON IT.

Extinct Disney Parks and Attractions tournament round 1: Group A2

Reminder, you don't have had to experience any of the attractions/experiences to vote! Just read in the info and/or watch the vid,then vote for which you wish you would have experienced more/which sounds cooler!

Videos and propaganda/info dumping under cut

ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter: Magic Kingdom (1994-2003)

Propaganda:

"Scared the everloving —- out of me as a kid, but I absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was incredible. Still mad it was basically put in the wrong park and would never survive there."

"I FUCKING love this attraction okay- Not only was it a pioneer in technology but it also was such a bold move for disney and really went to show that they could terrify people if they really wanted to. Also, the alien animatronic is cool, And there's a tim curry robot."

"personally designed by George Lucas"

"Please please please please please please please please please please please please"

"A big part of why this was shut down is the exact same reason as to what makes it great, and one of the most unique attractions of any disney park- The more mature theming, shown off with X-S Tech's blatant greed, hubris and downright maliciousness, and the overstimulating *horror* seen in the main teleportation chamber? I don't think we'll ever find in a newer ride again. Not to mention, the "deco tech" visual style found throughout is one of the coolest aesthetic blends I've ever seen!! And if all of that doesn't get you... Skippy will. Cutest animatronic this side of the galaxy, with a wonderful voice to boot. He's even got not one, not three, but Five different plush variants you could take home!! big, small, smaller, backpack or fanny pack- it's your choice :] "

Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour: Tokyo Disneyland (1986-2006)

Propaganda:

"Only park representation of the black cauldron"

Descriptions in English cut version:

Uncut full version:

Because I find this fascinating, here is also a info video on it:

Yeah I know this poll is a little apex predator heavy, but to be frank, most sea creatures (living and extinct) would amount to nothing more than fish/whale/ichthyosaur/shark, etc. fodder and that would not make for a fun poll.

[wouldtheybecomeafearavatar]

Character: John Gaius

Series: The Locked Tomb

Fear: The Extinction

Also idk if we can submit propaganda in these but he literally ends the world in the books. What more do u need

Technically, you aren't supposed to put propoganda in the asks, but this is pretty short, so I'll let you away with it. If it's long, I usually make a post separate to the ask and paste propoganda to the comments.
