When entering a character into Interfector's army they must comply to certain specifics before it is accepted.
The rules on the home page apply to every character that is entered.

Basic character rules:

  • The character you're entering must be a dinosaur. [marine reptiles like mosasaurus and pterosaurs can join too]
  • The character you're entering should be a carnivore or omnivore*.
  • It doesn't have to be a raptor, it can be any carnivorous dinosaur.
    *BUT if a herbivore proves itself useful it can be accepted. (For example Pachycephalosauridae)
  • Try to use the more realistic/natural colored characters, no glitter and/or eye-burners.


Right after joining:After joining the group you can submit your first character by submitting the reference sheet of your dinosaur. With your reference you provide information about your dinosaur in the picture or in the description of the drawing. This information must include the following:

- Species:
- Age:
- Level: 0 [0 EXP]
- Role: (Velites, Hastati, Marinus, Immunes, Frumentarii, Cataphract)
- Rank: Tirones (you always start as a Tirones)
- Link to EXP tracker: (applicable if you don't track in the comments of the reference sheet, if you use the comments make sure to feature the important comments)
- Personality:
- (Brief) history:


You cannot enter a higher rank right from the start but your character can rank up to be a Centurion for example later when they've reached a certain level.  


Roles:
  • Velites
  • These dinosaurs are fast and lightweight. They might wield long range weapons like slings or attack from the trees or skies.  
  • Hastati
  • Most hatchlings are trained to become just this. They are the soldiers, the front-row fighters. Strong, courageous and persistent. Without them there are no battles to be planned . Any dinosaur can be a Hastati as long as they are able to fight and not afraid to kill. Sometimes they are set up to train the hatchlings.  
  • Marinus
  • These are the "marines", dinosaurs very much home in the water that can guard waterways and attack ships even when they're not close to the coast.  
  • Immunes
  • Specialists, they can be caretakers, who tend for the wounded and make sure everyone is in good health, or at least as best as it can be. They are also often the ones to care for the young. These can also be blacksmiths, engineers etc. Very specialized roles.  
  • Cataphract
  • Cataphract are the tanks, often heavily armored or very large by nature. They are often the brutes that can break through barriers and are generally unstoppable once in motion.  
  • Frumentarii
  • Spies, explorers or scouts, they work alone or in small stealthy groups. These members know how to blend into their environment and be extremely silent. They gather information from the enemy or scout out unknown territory.




Paint:Each rank comes with "warpaint" on the left flank of your dino face/neck so their ranks are clear to the other members at a glance. 
This paint can be any colour that you see fit as long as it is visible (so no black paint on a black dino etc).






After you joined the armyAfter joining you can make artworks like drawings, sculpts or writing that count towards EXP for your dino. With that EXP you can unlock ranks and gear that you can use to deck out your dino. There will be events to reach higher ranks and contests too. Make sure you have a spot where you can keep track of the EXP your dino has, be it the comments of your reference sheet or a journal entry, and link that with your reference sheet. In your tracker you can link each artwork that you made for the group and how much EXP it gave.

It seemed fun to unite the dinosaurs of DA for this. And what dinosaur wouldn't want to rule the world? This can also be an inspiration source for the background of your character. Other than that you (and your dinosaur) will make new friends and art can be created of them and other dinosaurs from the army!

Would this be possible if I had add a duo of dinosaurs as warriors, one was a Pachycephalosaurus, and the other one, not only was a Brontosaurus, but also his best friend, similar characatures to both Cheech and Chong, and Timon and Pumbaa in similar ways for example? At least I'm so excited to join in.

Is a assassin a thing?

Warriors would be the ones to do assassinations. There's no complete title for it but if one of the members is very god at it they would def be the ones to do it most of the time. Kindof like a subrank or speciality.

Would it be possible to use video games dinosaurs for reference?

InterfectorFactory In reply to MelancholyClockwork [2018-04-12 06:28:25 +0000 UTC]

For reference, always. But try not to use their complete skin/color design as that wouldn't be original or something you could own. But it's perfectly fine to use screenshots for pose/anatomy reference.

MelancholyClockwork In reply to InterfectorFactory [2018-04-20 12:53:46 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I plan in only using anatomy references as I really like the Yutyrannus Ark models design as a dinosaur over the illustrations done for books and such.

That is most certainly an option! Just make sure it can still fly x) equipment can be heavy.

I'm interested in joining the army. However, I noticed that there is some artwork/information posted on other sites (Chicken Smoothie). I wish that no one would upload my artwork to outside the DA in any way without asking me the permission first.

InterfectorFactory In reply to Shadzerios [2016-07-20 10:21:36 +0000 UTC]

If you were to upload art of the army I would link directly to it (share the link, not the image), I would never reupload it without your permission, don't worry

So far there are no members who uploaded other people's work of the army to CS. I'll see to it that it stays that way unless given permission.

I see. Thank you very much for letting me know that. uvu
Alright thank you. I think about lending/creating a character or two for the army. A Carnosaurus, Raptor (and maybe an Allosaurus too). I have a design of a raptor done, but I'm not sure if I should use it for my "The Isle" artwork..... FD

InterfectorFactory In reply to Shadzerios [2016-07-20 10:45:14 +0000 UTC]

Well, that's up to you. I'm looking forward to seeing them
I love Allosaurs! They remind me of Big L from walking with dinosaurs. I watched it so often as a kid.

I like this uwu
Do you think my Kaprosuchus, Kaleidoscope "Scope", could join, even though she isn't a dinosaur (I don't think Kaprosuchus' were dinosaurs)

Dinosaur enough, you have a picture of her? A swimmer could come in handy.
