March of the Kaiju OOC (Under new management!)

Fair enough, I will change the meters to feet.


I didn't want to add his actual length and height and all that until I confirmed the size scale.


How does 250ft long and 95ft at the hip sound?

...I made Naga that big because it's supposed to be sizes similar to Godzilla. I'm basing sizes after either whales, or sauropod dinosaurs, for reference.

EDIT: Oh, dear, I'm lucky Heather and Naga aren't violent people that like to get into fights...

Vipera, If naga is that huge, And has wings, how will she take off in a city without destroying buildings?

I am aware of that, but I suspect that she'll probably be summoned already flying, because you aren't really going to get her on the ground on her own free will. She is also capable of vertical takeoff, because of her wing's size. I suspect that she could probably just climb up a building and take off from the roof. She's based partially off of a pterosuar, of course, I don't think you could summon any monster in any location without property damage.

Vipera, Godzilla itself is a 110 feet TALL. Godzilla is over 300 feet LONG. Godzilla isn't even that big of a Daikajiu, he's a solid medium sized one.

Well, It's not like I know the measurements. Can't you guys accept Naga is a bit small? It only justifies how she can fly super fast.

Anyway, my second character, Blake, (Who will most of the time be referred to as Moray) has evolved from a selfish person, to more of a loner sort with a gruff personality. He'll wind up being known as a bully in school, but he doesn't really actively mess with people or pick on them. Most of the time, it's going to be other people overstepping boundaries.

I am completely fine with it. I just want you to know what the conditions compared to other monsters are.

Don't worry, Naga's going to be able to hold her own, I think, although Heather isn't really a violent person. Naga's going to fly extremely fast, so she'll be hard to hit in the air, and even if she got pinned down, she still has her mantis shrimp claws, which can punch with the speed and force of a bullet (Whatever that would be changed into for her size). She's not so much size and strength, as speed and maneuverability.

The next one, though, is going to be medium sized, or small. However, Rift is going to be very tough, with the abilities I'm going to give him.

Well, I look forward to it. Compared to other monsters right now, I'm going to say Orochi is monster that falls comfortably into the large section of daikajiu for this universe, since we're using feet instead of meters.


Large- 200-300 feet

Medium- 150-200 feet

Small- 50-150 feet

Tiny- 5-50 feet

That scale sound good to everyone??

Fine with me.

Okay, then, so Rift currently falls into the medium category. I think Blake, considering his nickname is Moray, and the nature of the monster he is going to control, means my second character is sort of ocean-themed.

Personal Information

Name: Cameron Matthew Maharay
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Height: 5'9
Weight: 179
Blood Type:

Appearance

Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Brown
Physical Description: The first thing I should note about Cameron is mixed, born of a African American and Caucasian. As it's the first thing evident about him when you take a look at him is his high yellow skin, speaking of his skin it's near flawless aside from the scars from various.. incidents. Cameron isn't very muscular. Sure, he doesn't have too visible much fat on him, nor does he have too many muscles. So, yeah. I'd say he has small muscles you can only see when you squint really hard. Cameron's also a bit tall, not freakishly tall but he stands at a whooping 5'7 feet tall, weighing 179 pounds. He's handsome, uh- not the most beautiful person in the world. Just not ugly. His face (and head) are square-ish. His hair is black, Afro-textured. He doesn't do anything to his hair like put grease in it, or comb it or any of that. He only cleans it and cuts it. So, his hair doesn't have a definite style. But, it looks like a mini-afro, with an enormous puff of hair right above his forehead.

Manner of Dress: Cameron usually wears a short tan coat which goes down to his thighs, usually unzipped/buttoned showing his white T-shirt. Of course, Jean pants, and some sneakers. He has a large pink back pack, it was the best he could muster in such short notice. In said backpack he carries his gear... look at the equipment section for specifically what he has in there. He also has black finger-less gloves. He's also never seen without his black wool-cap or his sunglasses, or tinted ski-goggles.


Psychological Footprint

Innate Personality: Cameron is very unsure of things and himself. Which is why he tries to appear energetic and fun to cover up his own self doubts most of the time.

Outward Personality: Outwardly, he's usually friendly and energetic. Always appearing to be pumped and ready for new things. He has a sarcastic sense of humor and tends to tease people very often. He has a strong sense of self and is very proud, He will stand his ground when in any confrontation. He especially won't stand by as people are getting hurt. He doesn't give up easily; even if it means he might lose, Cameron will go down fighting. He’s interested in having a good time all the time, and always keeping the conversation light.

Favorite Thing: The golden compass he lifted off some guy a few years ago.

Hobbies: Cameron has quite a few, he likes biking, reading, exploring, playing basketball among other sports, hanging with friends and listening to music (his favorite is Jazz and Funk in general).


Bonded Monster

Name: Garuda

Physical Description: Garuda is a large monster that stands at around thirty meters high (that's um, 98.4 feet I believe) and is 62 meters long. It's quadrupedal with a incredibly wide build, and appears very muscular and well defined. It has a head heavily similar to a Chinese Dragon and blank eyes that look like they're balls of silver. It's feet are like the paws of a tiger. It's most obvious feature is that it appears to have skin made of solid gold, yet it's not hard--- the skin is oddly smooth and humanlike. It has a very long tail which makes up 30 of those meters in length. Garuda has six "wings" they're very thick and wide, but the creature is simply too heavy to accomplish flight--- or even gliding. Instead Garuda can fold these wings turning them into thin bony limbs that can act as powerful spikes that can pierce through steel if Garuda puts enough force behind it.

Abilities As expected Garuda has enhanced strength enough to throw buildings with ease or knock them down with even less strength. Garuda's main ability is that it can absorb the varies energies through it's gold-like skin. It can absorb kinetic energy, thermal energy and electric energy out of the area around it and convert it into a powerful beam fired out of the tip of it's wings. These beams are extremely devastating and easily incinerate mostly everything. Combined with Garuda's strength, it allows him to be one of the strongest Kaiju out there. Unfortunately Garuda isn't the fastest. He's very heavy, and while he's not especially slow he can easily be outpaced by some of the faster Kaiju. It's death beams require much energy to be used at it's full potential. It also takes a very long time to absorb energies, unless someone set Garuda on fire or was trying to electrocute it.

That is an awesome monster!

Agreed. I cant wait for Orochi to fire it's solar beam and discover it doesn't do anything.

On a side note, here are Orochi's sounds.

I'm lucky my characters don't have electric organs or anything like that.

What do you mean? Because it would be useless against Garuda?

Oh, Vipera, Maxx is back on Violet.

Well, I just prefer old-fashioned armor, teeth, and claws, to begin with, but Garuda's set of abilities makes me glad my monsters aren't super powerful in the sense that they shoot energy beams.

Anyway, here's Moray, and his monster, Rift.

Personal Information

Name: Blake ‘Moray’ Rushton
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 143.1 lbs.
Blood Type:

Appearance

Hair Color: Dark Chocolate Brown
Eye Color: Grey-Blue

Physical Description: Blake has a mesomorph body type, and as a result typically looks athletic, even though he does not work out. His clothes, however, typically cover any muscular definition regarding his appearance, so that he just appears to be a taller than average person. His straight dark brown hair is shaggy and medium-length, falling slightly past his ears, while the bangs partially cover his eyebrows, casting a shadow over his eyes. His almond-shaped eyes, possessing grey-blue irises that are sometimes considered to have a ‘moonlight’ coloration, have a unique piercing quality, which makes his gaze particularly intense or deep. He has a light skin tone, but is not extremely pale, nor can he be considered to have a tan.

Manner of Dress: Blake’s preferred form of dress is to wear plain short-sleeve T-shirts with solid colors, due to not enjoying printed logos on his clothing. Over these, he almost always wears the same zip-up black leather jacket, which has two pockets on the front, as well as pockets for the hands. Although initially the jacket is designed for riding a motorcycle, Blake wears it mostly for intimidation, as well as for protection from the weather. Blake typically wears plain blue jeans with a simple black belt, and sturdy grey sneakers with white shoelaces.

Psychological Footprint

Innate Personality: Although inwardly Blake desires to be more open and friendly, he typically doesn’t like to become too involved with the affairs of other people, due to the risk of being caught up in problems he does not want to deal with, or situations that he’d rather not be in. As a result, Blake only fends for himself, and does not have any people that he truly considers to be friends. While he can function in social gatherings like a normal person, having to speak to other people is typically found more taxing than things he could do alone, and he often tries to cut conversations short, or leave gatherings early to recover, as socialization can be mentally and emotionally tiring, in most cases. He prefers to use his solitude to expand his knowledge by reading, studying, or researching, and is very smart, although his grades in school typically suffer, due to his hatred of group projects and a normal class environment, which typically forces him to skip classes and hide, which leads to a record of failed grades, poor scorings, as well as unexcused absences. However, despite this, people do not exclude Blake or see him as odd, but often believe him to be cool, to a certain degree, although Blake himself would most likely advise against cutting class, and does not like the unneeded attention. Although he prefers to avoid people, Blake has come to believe to a certain degree that he is more intelligent or knowing than others, and often feels superior to them in a variety of ways. Due to this, he can sometimes be difficult to impress, and may on occasion do things that threaten fellow students, leading to some people believing he is a bully who gains respect of others out of fear. However, Blake does not do these things out of insecurity, and more often than not, it is a misunderstanding that provokes him to aggression. Blake does have a temper and a strong sense of pride, and reacts harshly towards anyone that infringes on it or any of his personal limits. He may also hold a grudge, depending on the offense.

Despite his behavior that defines him as a loner or a bully, Blake is not genuinely a bad person. Although he can be difficult to impress, doing so with an impossible act or display is not always needed to gain his favor. Although he will most likely reject them every time, simple acts of kindness towards him eventually cause him to develop a soft spot for whoever was nice to him. He may eventually start to care about them, and will try to go out of his way to help with problems, although he heavily dislikes it when these displays of compassion are lingered on, and prefers for life to go on as though they never occurred, denying them if asked.

Outward Personality: Outwardly, Blake is often seen as a loner, who has a cool, aloof attitude towards most situations. It is obvious that he has a tendency to avoid situations that require being in a large group of people, and that he often cuts class, however, it is impossible for people to classify him as unintelligent, as his educated speech pattern, as well as general knowledge hints that he is smarter than his grades let on. Although some people have come to see him as a bully, Blake does not actively try to mistreat others, and typically leaves them alone, so long as they do not overstep boundaries. Once provoked, however, Blake may become malicious towards the offender, often cruelly insulting them whenever he encounters them for a long time afterwards, although he will not seek them out to do so. Most of the time, Blake will try to leave a situation before he becomes angry, and will also warn others to keep out of his way for their own sake, although the strategy may sometimes fail. As a result, he has earned the nickname, ‘Moray’ after the Moray eel, due to the creature he is named after being reclusive, and only attacking when provoked by something getting too close.

When dealing with people he knows (They’re friends, but he won’t call them that), but does not hate, Blake typically comes across as gruff or grumpy, but not necessarily hostile. He often tries to keep conversations short, and will often still try to avoid them, but is less likely to become frustrated if he encounters them by accident. He is also less likely to reject offers that involve being around them, due to possessing a greater amount of trust. Although Blake will never refer to these people as friends, this is as close to a friendship as most people can get, which can cause problems at times. These issues occur namely when Blake must be introduced to strangers his friends know. While he will be kinder towards people he knows, Blake will typically shell up around strangers. Sometimes, with people who are his friends, Blake will often go out of his way to provide aid and support, showing a surprising degree of compassion. Although these actions are solid proof that he genuinely cares about someone, Blake does not like it when people linger on them, and will typically cover them up with sarcasm, or deny what he did. He quickly rejects displays of thanks or gratitude, and often vanishes if people try to do so, although he will likely return later, when he is sure he will not have to deal with them.

Favorite Thing: Stargazing

Hobbies: Blake’s hobbies are widely varied, due to him having lots of time on his hands. His main hobbies include reading, or researching an interesting subject out of curiosity. However, he also enjoys going swimming, and stargazing, which doubles as his favorite thing to do.

Bonded Monster

Name: Rift

Physical Description: Rift is a monster who appears to have been adapted perfectly for combat. He is very large, measuring about 196’0” long from nose to tail, and standing at about 65’0” feet at the shoulder, giving him a compact, yet agile build, similar to that of a ratel honey badger. However, instead of being covered in fur, Rift has sleek, slimy skin, similar in appearance and texture to that of a short fin mako shark, being smooth if stroked from the snout back, but extremely rough, like sandpaper, if stroked from the tail forward. However, this skin is also extremely thick and loose, for special reasons. His belly is a pale white color, but his back is a dark, metallic greyish-blue. On each of his four feet, Rift has five strong, sharp white claws. These claws are short on the hind legs, but are remarkably long on the front paws. Rift’s toes are connected with thick webbing, and the soles of his feet have thick padding that goes up to the wrist, due to him being partially plantigrade. His tail, in shape and appearance, resembles that of tiger sharks, possessing a sharply pointed fin adapted to swimming at fast speeds. Rift’s skull, although initially having a shape similar to a honey badger’s, has a more sharply pointed snout, keeping up with his shark-like appearance. He has three rows of teeth, and the teeth appear to have a shape more similar to that of a tiger shark’s, having an oblique shape that bends them back, and serrated edges. Rift has extremely small, rounded ears that are almost nonexistent when pricked back. His round black eyes are somewhat larger than a honey badger’s, and appear to look similar to those of a normal shark. Rift is gifted with a nictitating membrane that is pure white in color. This protects his eyes and still allows him to see when he is fighting. He typically smells strongly of brine.

Abilities: Rift may not seem to be a dangerous fighter in appearance, but he is actually very lethal in combat. His rough, sandpapery skin makes it difficult for opponents to bite him without accidentally injuring their mouths, and he is naturally much faster in movement, both in water and on land, due to his skin reducing friction in the air. His skin overall, being extremely loose, yet remarkably thick (Especially at the back of the neck), is hard to penetrate, and because of its looseness, Rift is able to twist and turn on his attackers when grabbed, often regardless of where it was, making the only safe place to grab him being the back of the neck, where his skin is too thick to be injured. His skin, overall, is tough enough to resist anything sharp, making him impervious to things such as teeth, claws, or sharp horns. Rift’s surprising speed on land makes attacking from a distance difficult, as he will often reach an opponent before they can ready an attack, and once upon his foe, he can be almost impossible to deter. Rift’s main weapons are his powerful, extremely long claws, as well as his strong bite. His teeth, due to their sharpness and oblique shape, make trying to tear away from his grip without injury almost impossible, and when biting, Rift will swing his head back and forth, using his body weight to tear flesh. A similar form of attack is used when fighting in water, where Rift is considered even more lethal. When fighting in an aquatic environment, Rift can breathe underwater as well as on land, often putting air-breathing opponents at a serious disadvantage, as staying under too long can result in drowning. His sleek, streamlined form makes Rift even faster in water than he is on land, and he can use his tail fin to give him quick bursts of speed. Due to the water, opponents not adapted to fighting in it lose strength in their punches and attacks, and cannot move very quickly, for the most part, but Rift can still swim extremely fast, and his bite is rendered extremely effective, although he cannot use his claws. Under water, and in open air, Rift has extremely good senses of smell and hearing, as well as good night vision and eyesight. However, his most unique sensual ability is that he can detect the electromagnetic fields produced by all living things, as well as the magnetic fields of the planet, making him an excellent tracker or navigator. He is also sensitive to vibrations in the water, making him very good at detecting something that falls in or struggles. Being in the water amplifies all of these senses.

However, negatively, Rift is rather useless against opponents in the air, unless he launches himself out of water, although even this attack is rather inaccurate. While he can detect electromagnetic waves, he is extremely vulnerable to electricity, as well as anything that dries up the slimy coating on his skin. As a result, Rift largely prefers being nocturnal, although he will not protest being out during the day. In addition, his senses also give him another, somewhat unusual weakness. Anything consisting of Rare Earth elements, or anything that is magnetic, repels Rift. However, Magnets have the downside of attracting things, and rare earth elements are relatively difficult to obtain in sufficient amounts.

Accepted.



I will start IC later today and set up the first event where everyone finds said artifact and gets bonded with their monsters. On the outskirts of Verthaven of course--- so think of a reason to be there.

Well, Moray will be easy. He's always cutting class. I guess I could use Heather's PSP disorder as an excuse. A funny thing is that Heather and Blake go to the same school, of course, neither know anything about the other, even though Moray is kind of popular around the rumor mill.

Well, I'll just say that it's Felix's spring break. It's my school's break now anyway. I'll probably jut have him skating around there. Is it okay if he gets the tattoo from his artifact, as in it like burns it into his skin? I overlooked the detail that he's seventeen and it's illegal to get a tattoo until you're eighteen.

Mehah! I didn't even know that. I see people under eighteen in my school with tattoos all the time. They usually go and get them when nobody's looking.

Everyone was going to get a symbol anyway.

Like a symbol or mark they use to summon their monsters?

The latter.

Okay, then. I can't wait for the IC.
