March of the Kaiju OOC (Under new management!)

March of the Kaiju


IC



This is an RP I've thinking of and discussing with some of the other members. To get to the point it's a simple RP about kids and giant monsters. The simple way to describe this is that we'll just be children randomly scrolling around town and BAM! We'll come across a otherworldly artifact that'll connect them to giant monsters that they can control and summon at will. The connection or "bond" will start out weak--- gifting the children with merely the ability to summon and influence them. Over the course of time then they'll be able to completely control them and bring out the monster's true potential. Of course every monster has the ability to cause widespread destruction even if the bond is weak, which is why certain parties will be out to contain them or something else.

Now a few notes.

Um, wrong thread.

Oops.

So the monsters are from another dimension?

Kewl. Can Carter be one that escaped and is hiding in the real world? I want Carter to be like a legend in my character's town (I'm planning him to live in a suburb of Verthaven) who drags people away at night.

I'm making a female character named Heather. She's going to try to be nice, but she's kind of weird, to be honest, and also has pathological skin picking disorder, which does result in a lot of guilt. She's gonna have anxiety issues.

Vipera, all of your characters are weird.


*sighs* so how are we gonna find these things?

Are you sure there won't be just an occasion where people summon their monsters by pure accident?

Don't worry. I got this.

Okay, then. I'm almost done with my character sheet.

EDIT: Okay, here's Heather, and her monster, Naga.

Personal Information:

Name: Heather Travis
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Height: 5’6”
Weight: 99.8 lbs.
Blood Type:

Appearance

Hair Color: Auburn Brown
Eye Color: Dark Brown

Physical Description: Heather has an ectomorph body type, and therefore has a thin, slender figure, with little muscle or fat, except for perhaps her calf muscles, which are better defined, due to her tendency to pace or run in order to relieve stress. Her skin tone is extremely fair, but not so pale that she resembles a vampire. Heather’s thick auburn brown hair is wavy, and falls to the middle part of her back, but is somewhat frizzy, due to difficulty in combing it. Her round eyes have dark brown irises that look almost black, and the pupils appear to be naturally larger than normal, giving her a doe-eyed expression, in addition to having long, dark eyelashes. Despite her age, she does not appear to have problems with acne. However, on her upper arms, a distinguishable feature is a large number of pale scars that seem to be even with the skin, although they leave distinguishable white spots, and appear to be the result of picking at small injuries. There is also many multiple fresh wounds on her upper arms that do not appear to have healed yet, and they resemble a rash, although they are the result of Dermatillomania, also called Pathological Skin Picking (PSP), which is a form of impulse control disorder. Her feet are heavily calloused, due to a tendency to pace barefoot in a room with hard floors whenever possible.

Manner of Dress: Heather typically chooses a form of dress suited for comfort, rather than appearance. Therefore, she typically chooses plain cotton shirts that have long sleeves, regardless of the weather, to hide her upper arms and the numerous scars and wounds, and prefers to wear clothing with modest necklines. She tends to wear loose skinny jeans, which stretch and allow flexibility, and cover her legs, protecting them from the sun, which can easily cause a burn due to her fair skin tone. She likes to wear the same pair of black running shoes regardless of everything else she is wearing, because of the padding on the soles, and the protection and support they provide for her feet. Whenever she is cold, the typically wears any jacket she can find, although she prefers either fleece, or a rain jacket with a hood that repels water.

Psychological Footprint

Innate Personality: Heather as a person has many complex thoughts, emotions, and feelings, that on several occasions may conflict with one another. Heather personally likes to think of herself as a good person who tries to help others, but at the same time may also think that she is cruel, mean, or anti-social. As a result, she typically doesn’t have an awareness of whether or not she is considered a good or bad person. However, she does have a tendency to analyze her behavior, and that of others, in a logical sense. She has come to conclude that she does not feel empathy as easily as other people, and often lacks sympathy, even towards close friends, which she often finds disturbing or upsetting, as she desires to have emotions similar to that of other human beings. She typically bonds more easily with animals or pets than other people, due to having more understanding of their behavior. Heather often has difficulty trusting strangers, and often feels suspicious of them upon first meeting them, although she truly desires to have real friends, and feels a deep sense of loneliness when there is nobody to confide in. However, she often feels fear at allowing herself to trust others, due to a tendency to believe she might be betrayed or made fun of. She also has a problem with anxiety, and has a tendency to pace or jump to relieve it, preferably alone while listening to music. She may also pick at her arms, due to having Dermatillomania, although she is aware that the behavior is self-destructive, and often feels guilt regarding it, although she struggles to control the impulse. Overall, these aspects of herself aside, Heather is very smart and calculating, preferring to see things in a logical sense, although too much stress, or a change in certain patterns that are normally predictable, can result in extreme distress, due to a preference of organized routine. Other unusual quirks she may have is whistling through her teeth to mimic bird calls, as well as yelping when bumped into, or surprised.

Outward Personality: Heather outwardly does not enjoy approaching strangers, and often only speaks to people she already knows. When strangers approach her, she often reacts with suspicion, or makes her replies or comments brief and quick, in an attempt to end the conversation. As a result, she may seem cold or hostile, although these actions are more as a result of fear. When talking to friends, conversations are typically focused on logical or scientific facts, and often involve using a formal pattern of speech, although she may on occasion lapse into a southern accent or speech pattern, even on occasion using the word ‘ain’t’, although it is not proper speech. She can typically repeat things back to people the exact same way that they were stated, including using the same tone and dialect, which is called Echolalia. Although she understands the concept of humor, she does not typically get jokes, and seldom laughs, although when she does, it typically sounds like a low grunting noise, or a squeaky door, which is considered funny in itself, due to the unusual quality of it. When friends are distressed, Heather typically wishes to assist them, but often feels little genuine sympathy. Due to guilt regarding her PSP disorder, she often may pull down her sleeves on occasion, hoping to hide the scars on her arms.

Favorite Thing: Heather’s favorite thing to do is listen to music, preferably alternative rock.

Hobbies: Various hobbies that Heather has is playing the violin, as well as reading fiction novels. She also enjoys being around animals, and as a result loves to play with pets.

Bonded Monster

Name: Naga

Physical Description: Naga is a large, colorful, reptilian monster whose appearance is considered incredibly beautiful by her human companion. She is very large, being 108’0” from nose to tail in length, and having an enormous wingspan that is slightly larger than her length. Naga’s wings and legs strongly resemble that of a pterosaur, her wings having a single stretched membrane, and three separate sharp claws. Her hind legs also have three toes, and have a membrane stretched behind them, which does not incorporate the tail (For reference on wings, legs, and build, see this image here). Her tail itself has a membrane on the tip similar to a forked fish tail in shape. Her neck is long, and she has a large rib cage, which allows room for a large heart and lungs. Naga’s skull is shaped like a viper’s, but boasts a kind of crest similar to the common chameleon. On her nose, she appears to have a bony protrusion covered in thick skin, as well as a horn, making her capable of ramming into opponents. Her bright blue eyes share many characteristics of birds, having a unique, piercing quality, as well as a nictitating membrane that when closed over her eyes give them a milky quality, but protect her from injury, and still allow her to see. Her teeth are sharp and needle-like, and she has a forked black tongue. On her chest below her wings are claws similar to that of a peacock mantis shrimp, tipped with sharp crusher barbs. Naga’s entire body is covered with keeled green-blue scales scales similar to a yellow blotched palm viper, and she has numerous black markings on her back ringed by paler yellow scales.

Abilities: Naga is a monster whose build is perfect for aerial combat. Because of her large wings, she possesses incredible speed in the air, and her rib cage allows room for a massive set of lungs, and a heart that pumps blood that can carry more oxygen than a normal creature, making her capable of sustaining flight for extended periods, as well as executing complex maneuvers. The thick ridge of bone on her head, as well as the sharp horn on her nose, allows her to charge opponents with a considerable amount of force, especially if she gains speed while in the air. Naga’s teeth are sharp enough to cause painful injuries if she bites an enemy, as well. The third eyelid that covers her eyes at times allow her to blink and still see, as well as fly in dangerous weather patterns, and avoid eye-related injuries. The mantis-like claws on her chest can punch with incredible speed and force, rivaling that of a .22 caliber bullet, however, to use them, she must leave herself vulnerable to attack in the chest and throat area, which she tries to avoid. However, despite her prowess in the air, Naga does not have a large amount of endurance, and cannot take many hits before she needs to recover. She is also badly impaired if forced to fight on the ground, despite being able to crawl on her wings at a relatively fast speed than one would imagine. It is better for her to retreat than fight on the ground.

Ahhhahaha, accepted.

Yeah, not my best description of a monster, I'll admit, but it's kind of hard to really put the appearance into words, so I just posted pictures. I think that my monster will be really cool, considering she's a big colorful bird-reptile.

Blood type?

....

....

....

AWESOME!!!!!!

Blood types, I don't think it's really important unless you need an organ transplant or blood transfusion.

His clothing usually consists of a gray hoodie in colder weather, with worn blue jeans, the shirt varies from blue to red. In warmer weather, gray shorts with a shirt of varying color.

Psychological Footprint

Innate Personality: Felix is, in reality, a kid who never grew up. He almost always has a DS in his pocket, and sixty percent of the time that DS has a pokemon game in it. He's a bit embarrassed to admit this, but with become defensive if questioned about how it's immature or whatever, often asking why the person questioning him views his games as immature or childish. He's not a hardcore do-good-er, but tries to have everyone's best interest in mind.
Outward Personality: Felix tries to act like the cool guy of a group. With a 'chill' persona that seems to never grow overly emotional or angry. Although this is him being himself, it is not his true 'core'. Some say that he will see the good in most situations, making him an optimist.

Bonded Monster

Name: Orochi

Physical Description: Orochi is a primarily white daikaiju with a blood red underbelly. Several dark spines sprout from Orochi's body in several positions. It's shoulder blades extend out from it's body, creating a large spike on both sides. It's body type is very saurian in general. Standing in a horizontal position with large and powerful hind legs and shorter arms. A large tail and heavily muscled tail serves as a secondary weapon, and to balance out the front half of the body. Orochi's head is very robust, built for taking and exerting massive amounts of force and pressure. Two bull shaped horns protrude from the back of it's skull, and a larger, blade like horn shoots off from top of the beast's snout.

CLICK ME!

Abilities: Orochi is a creature focused on durability. It has thick, tough hide with many defenses that keep the opponent reluctant to physically harm, such as the spiky body. While not entirely speed orientated, Orochi is a relatively agile daikajiu, able to out maneuver most monsters with a more godzilla style body type, and has shown the ability to jump in an almost raptor like way with it's powerful hind legs. It also seems to show relatively high flexibility, able to bob and weave around building without much difficulty. It's attacking skill, while not as powerful as defense, is more focused on that speed. It's jaws are extremely powerful, and the horns pack an extremely powerful punch when in a charge. It's legs can deliver a nasty kick with it's large toe claws, like that of a kangaroo in a way. However, as a saurian body typed Kajiu, what it makes up from in legs it lacks in arms. It has very limited use of it's front limbs, and has extremely low dexterity in that area, giving it a massive disadvantage to useable frontal limbs. Like some kajiu, Orochi has access to a ranged attack of breathing a powerful jet of solar energy. It does this using it's skin, which seems to absorb energy in the form of sunlight. It then converts this energy to a breath based attack. However, this ability is rendered null and void during the night, rendering him as a purely physical attacker in the later hours of the day.

Personal Information

Name: Elucid Constantini
Gender: male
Age: 17
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 150 lbs
Blood Type:

Appearance

Hair Color: brown
Eye Color: olive
Physical Description: Elucid isn't exactly the most intimidating young man. He is skinny and scrawny, and all-over weak. Though Shaun won't be winning any power lifting competitions, he is very fast and has good endurance. His face is long and bony, with tight cheeks and a long nose. His skin is a dark Italian color, and he has two dark areas under his eyes, like many Greeks do. His hair is dark brown, and is slicked back like a businessman's. At the base of the left side of Elucid's neck, there is a black tattoo in the shape of a three-pronged crown, the Constantini crest.

Manner of Dress: Elucid likes to dress like his is; rich. He wears suits a lot, witht eh exception of a tie, which annoy him. His pants and jacket are normally black and his shirt normally white, though this is not always true. He wears the same pair of mahogany docksiders every day.

Psychological Footprint

Innate Personality: Elucid is a hot-headed, rebellious young man. He kind of has a lot going on in his head. He is a member of the millionaire Constantini family, and has a lot to live up to. Every member of his family since they came off of the boat from Greece two hundred years ago has been a cool, suave maverick of the business world. Since the early 20th century, his family has been involved in organized crime, and now his grandfather is the godfather of the Italian Mafia in America. Elucid's family has taught him about how money makes the world go round, and that their family is the strongest in the world. He has been taught to protect his own, and to get as much money as possible. But there's a problem. The Constantini family is pure, and because of that, he is being forced to marry his own cousin, Nicola Constantini. Nicola is incredibly beautiful and Elucid likes her a lot, but he is having trouble marrying his own cousin (This gets a lot more complicated, but I won't go too deep into it for now. Because of this, Elucid seems to be constantly irritated by something, though he tries to hide his problems from the world. He tries to be nice, but has a very short fuse. He has been inbred with the belief that he is better than everyone else because of his family.

Outward Personality: As I said above, Elucid has a short fuse and believes that he's better than everyone else because of his family. He doesn't have a lot of friends, and is lonely a lot. He often seems irritated and can't handle being annoyed by anyone. He always gets what he wants, and will complain like a little child if he doesn't.

Favorite Thing: Elucid's favorite object is his mahogany rosary that was his maternal grandmother's. it was passed down to him from his mother before she died, and it never leaves his person. His favorite activity is writing, and he is an avid poet.

Hobbies: Elucid writes poetry, listens to music, reads, and plays golf, which he does every Saturday with his father.


Bonded Monster

Name: Oscuro

Physical Description: Oscuro is probably the smallest monster out there, and is also possibly the most dangerous. He is the same height and weight as Elucid and has the same overall shape. He looks almost like a living shadow, and has no details, facial features, or any sort of body marks. He is completely black, and is covered in a thin, slimy film. Though he has no eyes, ears, or nostrils, he has below average vision, above-average smell, and above average hearing. He is only the size of Elucid, but this is simply the form that he takes. Oscuro is an amorphous blob that can transform into any size and take any shape.

Abilities: Oscuro is an Eldritch Abomination. He is an amorphous blob that can imitate any shape or size, though never gets anything perfect. Firstly, he cannot do color. His morphs are always black, with no coloration whatsoever. Secondly, any detail on a creature (hair, nails, weapons), are badly morphed by Oscuro, causing them to become mutated forms of the original. Nails become long daggers and hair becomes strong tentacles. This, coupled with Oscuro's gargantuan strength makes Oscuro a deadly threat. However, he also has some other helpful powers. Oscuro's skin is very sticky when properly hydrated, meaning that Oscuro can use it to trap prey, clog pipes, or climb objects. Also, as an added strength, Oscuro can grow to any size, though this does not increase his strength, simply his body mass.

However, he has some weaknesses too. Firstly, Oscuro is highly flammable, meaning that if you light a match even near him, he will become extremely hot and explode. Because of this, Oscuro fears fire and absolutely refuses to go near it. Secondly, Oscuro is made primarily of water, which allows him to both become incredibly hard and make weapons and morph into any shape. However, this provides him with a rather peculiar weakness; salt. Like a snail, salt causes Oscuro to drastically lose water and dry up, becoming unable to morph. Now, this doesn't mean that you can hit him with a pinch of salt and inta-kill him, but if you were to, say, toss him into salt water or stab him with a piece of salt rock, you could seriously damage or even kill him. In addition, because he is entirely black, Oscuro absorbs heat rapidly, causing him to overheat quickly in bright sunlight. This makes Oscuro partially nocturnal, and he fears light, though he will go out during the day if he has to.

Both are accepted.

Awesome! When's the IC gonna be up?


And lone, you have a PM.

So how large are these monsters going to get? Orochi, being a Diakajiu (Giant monster) is, in a perfect world, around two hundred and fifty five meters long, and a hundred an five meters tall. I dont know if I need to size that down or not, because I dot aim to be the biggest out there (Biollante, from the Godzilla movies being a whopping 175 meters tall and weighing in at 1650 tons in it's final form would be much larger). I'm just tryin to get a feel for the size scale. Should I change the meters to feet an even it out? I dont know.

That's a good question. I mean, I made Oscuro capable of growing to any size, but it would be good to know how big he will need to get.

I made my own Monster 108 feet in length, and did not count her wingspan, because I'm not gonna go into that much detail this time.

Well, I wouldn't make the creatures too big, as they do have to fit down city streets and such. Plus if you attract too much attention with them, you're going to make yourself a target for the police or government.

I believe four people is enough for this RP. So, I'm going to start the IC after I'm done my characters.
