ARK Harpy AU but it's with prehistoric theropods [and some prehistoric birds and ARK creatures if they're close to what we want] :)

Me and my friend are working on it. Most of the characters have been worked out, and it's mostly just a chill slice-of-life au full of peace and love, but it's been such a fun thing to work on. I'll share sketches when I can :3

Current Characters with Current Assigned Creature Species:

Sir Edmund Rockwell - Microraptor [we thought it would be extremely funny, plus now he's quite small; and me and my friend headcanon that he loved birds and would have loved tamed Microraptors]

Helena Walker - Argentavis [because she was gifted one from Rockwell in the game, so it makes sense. She was originally gonna be an Archaeopteryx, but we decided to change it because her interactions with specific characters would have been made better with this bigger sized creature]

Gaius Marcellus Nerva - Yutyrannus [for obvious reasons, I'm sure. Plus it gives a cute, big size difference between him and Rockwell <3. And I headcanon him to really like Yutyrannus. Plus it's relevant to his backstory in this AU.]

MeiYin Li - Qianzhousaurus [not an ARK creature, I know, but it suits better than our original idea with her being a Utahraptor [which was for a Wuzui reference]. I just could not see her as a Utahraptor, so I felt that a different theropod would be better. We're gonna use more region specific creatures with future characters, because the research is fun :3]

Diana Altaras - Featherlight [cute size difference with her wives [epic polycule with MeiYin and Helena] and it makes sense for her, being from Aberration and all. Subject to change, though. Plus she'd be a great help for when our lovely, lovely feathered friends go there [which is under the Island. They are not on ARKs, but something is going to force our beloveds into a cave system which will lead to them finding the Aberrant zone. Though, this, too, is subject to change.]]

Bonus stuff in the tags for this au :]

#ark survival ascended #ark survival evolved #jonah talks #Rockwell can't fly by the way. he injured his wings when spelunking once so Helena carries him up and drops him so he can glide #which he can glide still. and he lives in the Redwoods where the trees are tall. he lives to glide/divebomb Nerva #and Nerva can't fly at all. his wings are small [deformity] but he makes up for it in size [he is large for a Yutyrannus]#the Island is quite literally an Island. I don't know yet if we're gonna make some fictional prehistoric Earth or not #but Rockwell has lived there the longest. he went there for exploration but pretty much retired there peacefully.#[though he still goes exploring every now and then]. he knows the cave systems and the map pretty well. but he does miss flying.#Nerva comes from a tyrannical place he didn't like the ruling of [currently] called the Romanic Legion. he seeks better places to live #and when he finds the Island where a scientist/chemist resides he eventually calls it the New Legion. he's not evil here #Helena comes to the Island because she just wants to explore everywhere she can [or that's the current reason for her coming there]#MeiYin escaped the Romanic Legion but has clipped wings. they'll come back and Helena will help her fly again :)#she comes to the Island looking for a peaceful area to live though [again current reason]#not everything is fleshed out yet but it's been so fun with the research going into this. plus it's a break from serious AUs :3 #we have ywt to nane the AU too lol. it will come eventually
