This is a park called Atlantic Seaquarium. Here lives killer whales and their trainers. The park often gets new whales and there is always something going on here. You can roleplay with up to two killer whales and one trainer each. The gates from pool to pool are always open unless I say they are closed. Please keep it as realistic as possible (sounds, behaviors, etc). You may use any whale in captivity now or you can create one of your own! Please to not use language on this board. Also, try not to make to much connection between your two whales, because then its no fun because you have too much control and if it becomes a problem you will only be able to have one whale. If you make a killer whale please say their name, gender, age, and personality before anything else. Have fun! Here is the map, yeah its a little large! Thank you TillyxKyu! Here are the show songs and somewhat plot- The Animal Song (Savage Garden)-During this song are displays of only the orcas doing behaviors in a fast motion Strangers Like Me (Phil Collins)- Here the trainers first come into the orca world and start to make a bond with them My Last Breath (Evanescence)- Orca and trainer lose each other and the orcas swim around the tank in a series of behaviors trying to find them How to Save a Life (The Frey)- The orca finds the trainer underwater and brings her to the surface in a vertical jump with trainer hugging rostrum, behaviors celebrating the reuniting Come With Me (Special D)- Splash Time! No Boundaries (Kris Allen)- Trainer and orca explore just how much they can do together, many waterworks some very complex You'll Be In My Heart (Phil Collins)- Strongly portrays the bond between trainer and orca, mostly simple waterworks, but some hydros and vertical spins here and there No One Like You (David Crowder Band)- Dream finale, shows apprecation between trainer and whale as well as orcas appreciating orcas. Most behaviors are either waterworks or double/triple. *May change order or songs* Pod: Nalia-(Matriarch)-18-Trainer: Katie Keet-15-Trainer: Lindsey Corky-44-Trainer: Emily Nakai-9-Trainer: Maya Braith-18-Trainer: Dougie Cari-17-Trainer: Stacy Tilikum-30-Trainer: Jayma Shamu-9-Trainer: Matt

Nalia is the matriarch of the pod and is 18 years old. She is very likable and social whale. She is always respected by her pod and cares about them a lot. If one of them is sick or hurt she will act as a mother to them. Nalia is very good at waterworks and does well with any trainer she meets, but has always had a special bond with one trainer. --XXX-- Keet is a 15 year old bull orca. Despite his size he is very gentle especially to younger orcas. He usually very calm but, when he gets angry, can be very tough. He will sometimes show-off but not intentionally.

Nalia slid on to the slide-out and lifted her tail and rostrum as Keet did a hydro with Lindsey as the afternoon showing of "Dream" came to a close. Her trainer Katie gave her a rub-down and threw a heaping pile of fish in her mouth. She dropped her rostrum and tail and wiggled off of the slide-out. Keet and Nalia swam into Pool B and katie and Lindsey started to talk. It seemed important, so . Keet continued to swim his laps around the pool. He never noticed things like that. Nalia didnt like the fact that she was stuck with him and only him. She wanted more killer whales here. She was the matriarch, but that wasn't much to say because she only had dominance over one orca. She also wanted a mate but Keet wasn't an option. She liked Keet but only as a friend. Maybe thats what their talking about. She really hoped so.

Corky is a 44 year old female. She is pretty easy going and is friends with everyone she meets. She is a very sweet whale and does waterworks with all her trainers. She has had 7 unsuccessful births and doesnt have a calf of her own but is the adopted mother of many orphaned whales.
Nakai is a 9 year old male. He is quite mischievious and loves attention. He likes to go up to the glass and interact with guests. He is quite close to Corky and is very playful.

Before Nalia new it Lindsey and Katie were helping one whale into Med Pool A and one into Med Pool B. Nalia quickly swam over to Med Pool A. She saw a big female orca swimming around the pool. "Hi, I'm Nalia. Im the matriarch here. Who are you?" Nalia clicked sweetly. --XXX-- Keets laps were interrupted by a large splash. Keet was startled and flipped over. Nalia was no longer in the pool. He looked around and found her talking to another whale in Med Pool A. He also saw an orca in Med Pool B. He swam over to the pools and saw that Nalia was talking to a large cow. He peered into the other pool and found a young male. He decided to start talking to him. "Um, hi, I'm Keet? Whats your name?" Keet clicked. He slowly swayed back and forth and jiggled his pecs a little.

Corky swims up to Nalia to intorduce herself. She hopes that Nalia will accept her and that they will become close friends. She gives Nalia a friendly nudge followed by some friendly clicks. She sees Nakai coming up behind her giving her his usual hello nudge, she nudges him back and after they say goodbye to Nalia, they both swim up to their trainers, Emily and Maya. Emily gives Corky a nice long rubdown and Maya gives Nakai his favorite big red ball and they play a quick game of fetch. Then Maya and Emily go and to tell Katie and Lindsey about their orcas' eating and training patterns. Katie and Lindsey do the same and tell them about the show "Dream" and how they are looking to breed Nalia

(just so i can update the pod, who is whos trainer?) Nalia nudged Corky back sweetly. She was happy that Corky was so sweet. She was afraid that Corky would try to dominate her. She thought that shed become good friends with the pair. They seemed very close. Maybe Corky is Nakais mother, Nalia thought. She looked over to Keet he had swam into the show pool and had started to do some behaviors. He did a perfect kicker and back bow. Nalia wanted to train but Katie was talking to a group of high schoolers in the stands. She swam over to them and suprised them by splashing them with her tail. "This is Nalia, she loves to play around" Katie laughed. "Now you will get the oppurtunity to touch her in a few seconds." A few of the girls jumped excitedly. Katie signaled her to swim over to the slide-out. And one of the teens climbed up the steps. Before Katie had the chance to give her the signal, Nalia lifted her left pec. The girl rubbed her fin and tossed a fish in Nalias mouth. After ten teens, Katie said, "Well it was nice having you here. I hope you enjoyed it!" The high schoolers left with their counselor.

(Emily is Coky's trainer and Maya is Nakai's) Maya takes Nakai to pool A to work on his vertical spin. He just recently got it down but still needs some work. Nakai is extra eager to please today, and wants to show off to Nalia and Keet. Maya gives him the signal, he dives down to the bottom of the pool then shoots high out of the water and does an almost perfect 360 spin and lands gracefully on the surface with a very small splash. Maya throws her hands up in glee and blows the whistle. When Nakai comes over she gives him a big hug and throws him a huge handful of fish. Nakai being very pleased with himself, swims down to the underwater viewing area where some little kids were watching and, to their joy, gives them very excited creaks, as if to tell them how good he just performed. Maya calls him back so he can practice it a few more times before he goes and plays some more. Each time was almost as good as the first. Maya was very happy with herself and Nakai and felt that it was ready for him to perform in the show.

Keet watched Nakai his behaviors. He was really good for a little guy. He clicked at Nakai praisingly. He swam over to the kids at the window and clicked at them. He follows some of them as the ran around. They seemed to really be enjoying it. He did a perfect belly flop and the kids cheered.

Name: Braith Gender: Female Age: 18 Personality: Very shy, but curious about the world around her. Loves interacting with trainers and guests. Trainer: Dougie History: Braith's mother died when she was 2 years old. After her mother's death, she was moved to a new aquarium. It was then decided (due to the aggression of the adult orcas in the park) that she was to be moved again. She was then moved to the Valley Marine Park in the UK, where she lived from the age of 4 until she was moved to the Atlantic Seaquarium. While at the Valley Marine Park, Braith was involved in an incident in which she attacked and drowned two teenagers that were taunting her, killing them.
*********
Name: Cari Gender: Female Age: 17 Personality: Aggressive, but caring. A bit spoilt and thinks she is the best because she used to be the matriarch in her old 'home'. Trainer: Stacy History:Cari had been born in the wild and was captured 1 year after her birth. She was brought to Valley Marine Park, where she lived for the rest of her life, until she was transferred to the Atlantic Seaquarium with Braith. At the Valley Marine Park, Cari was matriarch. She has been known to have many arguements with Braith.

Nakai was curious about the newcomers, he cautiously swam up Cari, sensing she liked to be in control. He sqeaked at her welcomingly hoping to make a good impression then something caught his attention, he saw out of the corner of his eye Corky playing with his ball. He raced over snatching it from her and began taunting her with it. Corky being used to this game joined in and tried to get the ball back, but Nakai was too quick for her. Finally she gave up and swam over to Emily and watning a tongue rub, opened her mouth, clicked at her and patiently waited for Emily to finish talking about somthing with the other trainers.

Wow more newcomers, Nalia thought. She swam up to Braith and Cari. She quickly examined them. They looked about her age and were a tad smaller than her. She sensed that Cari thought that she was in charge, but Braith seemed a little shy. "Hi, I'm Nalia. Im the matriarch of the pod. Over there is Keet, the large bull, Corky, the large cow, and Nakai, the young male. Who are you two?" Nalia clicked sweetly. --XXX-- Keet noticed the other new comers that had just entered the stadium. He swam over to them. Corky and Nakai were still playing together. Nalia was already there talking to them. He came over and nuzzled Nalia. He knew they werent mates but they were very good friends and he thought of her as a sister. He had known her his whole life and always looked up to her as a role model, and his matriarch. Though he was the big bull here and the dominant male. He intended it to stay that way. There was no one to compete with, yet. The only newcomers so far were three females and a calf. Which meant more mates to choose from, but no competition. "Who are you?" he clicked.

Cari clicked back at Nakai, opening her mouth a little in a small 'smile'. She watched him swim off again to play with a female.
Braith, hiding slightly behind Cari looked up as the Nakai clicked at Cari. 'Great,' she thought to herself. She was used to Cari having all the attention.
As Nakai swam off again, another whale welcomed them, this time a female. "Hi.. I'm Braith." She glanced at Cari, who was still watching Nakai and Corky. "And this is Cari." She clicked quietly.
Cari returned her attention to Braith and the two orcas in front of her. "Cari. Nice to meet you." She clicked loudly. 'Why did they bring me here? What was wrong with home?' she thought as she took in her surroundings. 'And why did they bring HER aswell? Of all the whales there, and they chose her to come with me?'
Braith could sense Cari's foul mood and tried to ignore it. It was Cari's problem and she'd have to get over it.

Keet nodded. He met Caris eyes, though Cari was looking at Nalia. She was beautiful. Keet liked her. Keet was the kind of whale that decided he liked someone before he really meets them. He didnt really like Braith, she was too shy, but maybe he would become friends with her. "Hi, Cari. Im Keet. Come with me, Ill show you around!" Keet clicked happily. --XXX-- Nalia watched as Keet admired Cari. You could tell he liked her. Well if they brought all these cows to breed Keet, hes certainly chosen his desired mate. Nalia was hoping one of the newcomers would be a bull do she could finally have a mate, but none of them were. Shed have to wait longer.
