EDIT: The OOC is out!
The legend goes that there was this Goddess the size of a planet who was in charge of safekeeping an Earth-like planet from harm. However, she was slightly naive at the time and didn't realize an evil plot by one of her fellow Goddesses, her sister no less, who secretly unleashed a race of her own creation, monsters (the exact term for them undecided), to meddle with this Goddess's creations. The monsters were feeding on the planet's energy in secret. The Goddess failed in her duty to detect and stop them in time, and by then her power had faded too much to defeat her sister, as her power was tied to this planet. The inhabitants of the planet were similarly taken off guard and only managed a paltry defense, loosing the war with the monsters and threatened with extinction.
The planet was too far gone, but the Goddess had one last plan. She managed to scoop up most of the surviving life forms into her hands, who had all agreed to meet at that location if at all possible, and then she escaped into a realm where her sister couldn't find her. Knowing that the life forms in her hands would quickly die in this current state, she sacrificed herself so that they might live on. She curled up into a ball and went into a deep hibernation, for all intents and purposes dead, and used her energy that had kept her living to pass on to the humans and other life forms. An atmosphere and earth-like gravity was created around her (as an example you can walk all the way around the circumference of her arm and remain upright the entire time). Plant life grew out of her skin, creating vast forests. Her "sweat" turns into seas. Many other materials also formed onto her skin such as rocks, soil, diamonds, etc. She became mother earth, allowing to live just as they had on the planet that had been destroyed.
The life forms not only survived, but due to her great sacrifice they managed to thrive. A majestic city have formed in the palms of her hands, where they all originated from, and they have expanded many other places as well. In case you're wondering, she doesn't have any reproductive organs or digestive system, so she's more like a featureless doll. The only openings are the standard facial ones (ears, nose, mouth) and pores.
Although it started out as only a rumor, people begin to find out that the Goddess had, in her haste and desperation, accidentally scooped up some of the monsters who had lead to the destruction of their previous planet, and they have been multiplying and draining the energy from the Goddess keeping everyone alive. Luckily the Goddess's sister, who had created these monstrosities, hasn't found them yet, but even without her the situation is still dire. Dire, but possible to fight back. There was still hope, and they couldn't afford to loose here like they had lost their planet. The monsters are separated into classes; Class C and above can be extremely tough for normal people to deal with. However, at this point the humans had developed a new type of warrior who could fight back, imbued with special powers taken from the goddess's cells (found below all the soil and such) and inserting them into the warriors. Most people can't withstand having the cell's inserted into them, but some are able to more then others.
Thee monsters can retreat through pores in her skin and travel inside her body, which is very dangerous to humans to enter. Therefore, it's hard for the humans to get at the source of the infection. Luckily the monsters have to travel to the surface to drain the energy (the Goddess brought her energy to the surface to sustain all the life forms, after all). When they come up to steal the energy, that's the time to strike! Plus they have to travel by way of the pores because the goddess's body is too tough to burrow through directly. That gives some hope of being able to stop them in time, but it's still a difficult task because the pores can be found anywhere and they never know where they will pop up next until they trigger the advanced warning system which only gives them a few moments to prepare.
This roleplay will have lots of fight scenes, but we will also have a lot of character related stuff and exploration of this unique and bizarre "world" that we live in. That alone should keep us quite occupied with interesting experiences. Besides humans there will be a lot of other races, such as some with cat ears and tails but many others exist. Just mentioned what type of race you'd like to be and I'll see if I can add them in. Some real and fantasy animals can be here. For technology, I can go with either pure fantasy or fantasy mixed with some sci-fi depending on which one most of you prefer. The later is more likely.
So, anyone interested? Any suggestions or questions?
P.S. For anyone wondering how I came up with something so crazy, I was inspired by Xenoblade, a game where you live on a giant monster-like thing (a vague explanation as to leave out all spoilers).
