The magic of the Shaman caused the dinosaurs to mutate. The Shaman died trying to save the ancient humans. Now the Extinct want to take back their spot as the strongest race on Earth by killing the modern humans.

I decided to get rid of the Shaman in modern day. Let's say he died millions of years ago. If we include him, then the whole tech aspect of the rider will be gone and it will be magic vs magic.

Wait, if he dies anyway, what was the point of changing him from ONE of the pre-skeletal Extinct into a pre-human. I thought the reason you decided on that change was so that he could stay alive as a mentor? Also - as enemies - if the Shaman was able to cast a hibernation spell on them, why didn't he eliminate them then and there? Not to mention, where does the whole "extinction" aspect play into it all if surviving the meteor played no part in their timeline? Lastly, killing the shaman off so early also leaves no connection to the magic of the Extinct and the magic of the Driver if he has no part in it's creation. I'm completely open to alterations and big changes to the idea I proposed initially, but that just sounds less simple, makes less sense, and causes way too many plot holes.

Phew. Rant over. I just had to throw that out there. Again, I do think the backstory barely matters here and the design of our fan-created rider is the most important part. So continue with what you're doing now. I don't mean to backtrack things.
