IT'S OVER NOW | {OPEN, FERAL UTAHRAPTOR, DOUBLE JOINING}

POWER OVER MIND

BLUE — FEMALE — THE ASCENDANTS — NONE — EXTREME PHYSICALLY EASY MENTALLY

(Oh yeah! Keep in mind that Blue doesn't actually speak. She uses raptor vocalizations, that can only be understood by her sisters and Owen, she isn't actually forming any english words. But certain sounds can be formed with certain requests, such as how Vinny was able to figure out she was asking for food ^.^ She's basically speaking another language haha)


Feral creatures are mostly considered to be unpredictable. Most would be right because the Utahraptors are entirely situational. They could be calm one moment, but go on the offensive if they don't like the presence of someone near them. And since they don't know how weak the other creatures are that they are interacting with, it means that a tussle with a Utahraptor usually means certain death in that regard. One bite from a Utahraptor, even if they are just attacking a nonlethal part, such as a shoulder, would immediately shatter the bones in that area. They have the jaw strength around that of a crocodile, meaning that they usually crush their prey to death or leave it to bleed out. Which is easier to do considering the way that their claws are situated and the way their teeth are more used for slicing. Establishing a bond with said creature even takes longer than just being able to condition them to do something that they wanted. Like most animals, they are easily influenced by food, no they usually aren't dumb enough to fall into a trap that is made with food and have a extreme sense of smell and can easily track down any sort of creature. The Utahraptors use pack bonds, which are a lot stronger than one could actually think. Blue would lay her life down if it meant that she was going to protect her sister. Since the pack had been in the clans though, no one had gotten close enough to be considered pack. Which could ultimately change if someone cared and tried enough to actually gain their trust in that way. Either way, it takes a large amount of time to be considered not to be a threat when it comes to the pack. If the pack isn't hungry, they will usually leave most things alone. But being opportunistic also means that they could openly hunt anything and actually eat it later. Despite mostly being reptilian, with the way that they were created, they had other forms of DNA through their body that speeds up their metabolism. Besides, a reptile wouldn't be able to move as fast as they do if it was entirely cold-blooded. Most dinosaurs usually have feathers, thanks to fossil records, but because they were created and don't look like something they are supposed to, they are mostly scaled, having no such feathers covering any part of their body. Instead, they are covered in scales like any other reptile, relative to their size though, their scales are fairly thick. Meaning small carnivores can barely scratch and barely get beneath the skin of the pack even if they tried with enough force. Without powers of course.

Anything can set the raptors off and turn them to be fairly aggressive. Too much eye contact could be seen as a challenge, as they rely entirely on body language instead of understanding what someone is saying all the time. It's better to use short words and vocalizations and they don't bother with any sort of filler either. Once someone is able to figure out what vocalization is associated with what, it means that they will have a better understanding of what the pack ends up wanting in the end. There is even a chance that if someone stands up a little bit too tall and seems to be too confident, Blue may also see that as a challenge for her position in the pack, a challenge for dominance. The entire group is held together by the means of dominance. The strongest and most respected being at the top, and they stay on the top as long as they are willing to defend their title. Blue knows that once her sisters finish growing up, that they will probably challenge her for her title. She is still young though and has a lot of fight left in her. Then almost like in dogs, excitement and too much energy could also end up leading to forms of aggression. Like a frenzy that could build up inside of their minds before they have to do something to unleash it to get it out of the way. The Utahraptors are wired to be on alert at all times, and quick movements could make them suspicious and aggressive. Only predators move in quick and specialized movements. Not prey. Either way, most things that are smaller than them are considered prey no matter what, and anything in their territory is potential food. In the previous clan that they came from, the pack was able to start to differ what was food and what were creatures that they shouldn't attack. Any sign of weakness or even injuries could mean that they would be quick to turn on someone. If their current alpha started to become weak, even Blue herself would challenge for the rank back. After all, when they had been put into shipping containers and shipped to the clans, she had been the Alpha of the pack for almost three months. A long time for her to get used to power such as that. The Utahraptor wasn't quick to give it up, and even now the female wasn't quick to just follow every order that she was given. Stubborn as always. Sometimes she could even be considered a diva.

When there was usually one raptor, there was usually someone in the pack that was fairly close by. Or at least someone that was within earshot to be able to hear her call in case they needed to group up for a hunt. When had been the last time they had done a big hunt? Blue honestly couldn't remember at this point. The cold feeling of the water that was wrapping around her ankles certainly didn't feel good anymore. Her massive weight shifted so she was on the same bank as Vinny was, looking toward the treeline to make sure that there wasn't anything coming toward them. The dinosaur could obviously still be injured by the scars that were on her body. It wasn't impossible to do so, anyone that got close risked getting their arm ripped off. Which had happened twice in the past for those that were in the wrong place and wrong time when it came to the clan. They were killers. They weren't innocent. They knew the way that the cruel world worked and they were ready to fight it head-on. She killed clanners. And so did her sisters. They weren't evil of course not, they just didn't know any better. No one had been willing to sit down and try to take their time to understand these creatures. Some of which the clanners had regarded as being beautiful. A term that Blue still wasn't sure about. Being around the clanners also gave Blue time to learn the customs that they had, and the packs that they enjoyed forming. Their packs a lot different than their own, and they seem to welcome everyone that they came across. There had to be something else though right? The blue-ish gray dinosaur tilted her head as she looked at Vinny, before a new scent caught her attention. Causing her to crouch down slightly, her tail raising up into the air as her arms relaxed themselves. A small animal came out from the trees, one that she did not recognize. The other wasn't afraid of her. Prey? No? But he was obviously talking to her. Blue wasn't sure exactly how she felt about the others tone and her lip curled to reveal her curved teeth, a growl rumbling in her jaws as her sickle claws tapped the ground. Blue would let out a screech directed toward Bastille, warning the other not to get too close to her. If Vinny was going to give her food then there was no need for her to hunt the domestic cat. The reptile was able to understand the word 'food' and seemed to relax slightly be even then remained somewhat crouched.

Turning her amber gaze to look back at the husky, she shifted her body. The leg with the words 'IGEN' engraved into her flesh that had scarred over not bearing any of her weight as she focused mostly on her left leg instead. She wasn't injured, she was more sore than really anything else. The aggressive fairly gone when regarding the husky, and she perked up even more when the other said her name. 'Food giver' Blue would chuff toward the other, having still not known his name. If a reptile was capable of grinning from recognition, that would have been exactly what had happened. Blue did have memories of Vinny's time in the clan that they had come from, but she hadn't been everywhere. If anyone was to sweep through her memories, they would mostly see her pack and no one else. The food that had been given to her the most when she had lived in the clans with the food givers had actually been rabbits. She didn't really expect anything else, and she seemed to actually nod her head when the other brought up the topic of food again. She hadn't been planning to arrive in a place that she actually knew someone, but this would make settling down a whole lot easier. Her arms pressed up against her side, meaning that she wasn't about to use her clawed hands to attack anyone at the moment. Her eyes watched the other's paw carefully, and a rabbit seemed to appear out of nowhere. Which seemed to confuse Blue at first, but at the smell of fresh meat Blue didn't really seem to care about where it came from. The Utahraptor reared herself up onto her hind legs a little bit and caught the rabbit in her mouth. Almost like a crocodile, she swallowed her food whole, and it took only a matter of seconds before the small prey animal down her throat. Using her slightly off-blue colored tongue, she ran it across her lips. Cocking her head to the right slightly, she seemed to be listening for something. A couple seconds after doing that, Blue reared up to her full height, which was quite tall, and let out a broadcast call. Short and sweet. The vocalization was booming and fairly loud, a noise that could be heard for miles. She was giving others her location, which obviously meant there were more of them if others had heard the vocalization before. This had been during the time that Vinny had been talking to the other clanner, and she moved back to a normal standing position before taking a step toward Vinny again. Lowering her massive head, she would look at the other carefully, before aiming to sniff at the side of his neck. She needed to register his scent again. It was different. And she would do this so that she would be able to find him for more food later on.
