INTRODUCTION

It is the year 2034… exactly eight decades after the dawn of the Kaiju Era back in 1954 with the raise of the infamously legendary Godzilla. Her destruction of Tokyo, Japan on that fated day had changed humanity as we knew it… for we are not the dominant species on the face of the Earth. After we successfully killed the terrorizing monster, more began to rise from the depths of the ocean, from deep within the mantle, and even some began descended down from the Heavens to conquer Earth. They are strange specimens, being known to be able to take the form of a human-like character with supernatural powers and anthropomorphic qualities in one second until becoming a giant, terrifying monster the next! We call them “Kaiju Gijinkas”, or simply “Monster Girls”, and they all come in different sizes, shapes, along with each having a unique backstory to them.

In order to compete with these newfound threats, we as humanity had to act quickly. We started out slow, increasing our military defenses and began maximizing our spending on research to be able to combat these creatures. Eventually we created superweapons, from special jets and guns being capable of firing lasers or other unnatural weaponry, and then after reverse engineering some alien tech, we were able to create our own “monsters” to fight the gijinkas in the form of size-changing androids and mechs! Now having enough powerful weaponry, the United Nations banded together to create the Kaiju Global Defense Force (KGDF), a branch specialized in specifically combating these awesome characters, in 2017.

Now seventeen years later, we still continue to protect our cities from the invading Monster Girls. Yet now we realize that we aren’t fighting them alone, as some of these Gijinkas are actually good guys, or simply willing to protect the same patch of ground that everyone on Earth stands on. We call these girls “The Earth Defenders”. Now with several new allies, the Kaiju War has just begun to get more intense and MUCH hotter!

Welcome to “THE MONSTERVERSE”, a roleplay involving transforming kaiju gijinka based off famous Japanese Kaiju Tokusatsu movies and other giant monster movies of the west. Here you get the chance to play as your favorite characters from these films, whether they happen to be a kaiju, a mech, or even a human character. You can even add in your own originally created character if you’re the creative type! The playground is virtually the entire world across multiple sectors of Earth, whether from major cities where we can focus on the human and mech cast, to remote islands out at sea where we can find various kaiju going about their daily lives. This Roleplay will also provide multiple mission scenarios for the characters, as well as adding a healthy dose of story and episodic arcs to develop your characters as a whole.

If you have any questions regarding the upcoming RP in any shape or form, please don't hesitate to ask! Looking for loyal members to hop in - if enough members arrive, I can start the RP.

BRIEF FACTION INFORMATION

The KGDF

Starting out as simply a minor branch of the United Nations and the Global Defense Force, the Kaiju Global Defense Force has become more important than ever. Now it's own separate branch since 2018, it is both the front and last defense line humanity has in keeping our cities safe. It creates mechanized android units to help match the power of the gijinka, creating veteran soldiers like Akane "Kiryu" Yashiro to Gipsy Danger, the latter being one of the leading generals in command. Along with the main branch of the Kaiju Defense Force, being responsible in the creation of Kiryu and other leading mechs it also has two sub branches:

Pan Pacific Defense Corps

The Pan Pacific Defense Corps (PPDC), or simply known as the Jaeger Program, is a sub-branch of the KGDF that patrols and protects the western hemisphere of any kaiju threats, mainly the Pacific Ocean. Overseen by Marshal Stacker Pentecost, this branch is known for their Jaeger units, androids that have been created by a pair of mentally-linked scientists. They were originally a response to the threat of the "Rift Kaiju", kaiju that came from deep beneath the pacific ocean from an ancient alien dimension known as “The Anteverse”. Despite them having destroyed various portals throughout the Pacific, there's still few that are still operational and need to be destroyed. The Jaegers are also used in combating non-rift kaiju when need be as well. These Jaeger Units include seasoned veterans like Lieutenant Gipsy Danger (Mark III), Striker Eureka (MK V), Crimson Typhoon (MK IV), and Cherno Alpha (MK I), and various others. More recently however, the PPDC had just released their newest models, the Mark 6s, which include Gipsy Avenger, Titian Redeemer, Saber Athena, and Guardian Bravo.

NERV

NERV is a special agency of the KGDF and one of the more unique sub-branches. Headed by Commander Gendo Ikari, this agency is mostly known for their special forces units known as Evangelions, which are cyborgs that have been molded by the blood of extraterrestrial beings known as "Angels". While it occasionally helps out with more serious kaiju threats, it seems to hide a slightly greater purpose to it. Conspiracy theories had been made over the years, trying to figure out its true objective, only revealing something regarding “Impacts” and rumors stated that more of these “Angels” will bring their “divine reckoning over humanity”. NERV’s Evangelion units that are currently online include Evas Unit-00, Unit-01, Unit-02, and Unit-03, with some new units still in production as we speak...

The Kaiju Gijinka

The Kaiju Gijinka are a race of anthropomorphic humans that have the capabilities of turning into their respected skyscraper-sized kaiju. These characters aren’t just limited on Earth as some have been seen descending from the far reaches of space. Each gijinka is different and rarely do two exact copies exist together. In their human forms, they can be seen wearing fancy and bizarre clothing, alongside accessories such as bracelets and necklaces, and some still sport their biological body parts seen in their kaiju forms, which include horns, spines, crests and other unique characteristics. In fact, some of them can blend well enough to be virtually undetectable on a city street as long as they sport a reasonable disguise. Regardless, despite humanity's claim in booing every kaiju as an invasive threat, some of them secretly ally the KGDF or are at the very least tolerant of their presence as long as their units don’t get too close to their territories without their permission. In fact, some are fully committed in protecting Earth from hostile alien kaiju gijinka. There are 3 classifications in which they are classified into:

1). Earth Defender: Earth Defenders are kaiju that have been born on Earth and valiantly protects it from extraterrestrial threats. They usually tolerate humans to a certain degree but usually see them as a potential threat. Some of them are extremely territorial and won't invade human settlements unless they are provoked, mind-controlled, or chasing a hostile. Notable Kaiju include: Godzilla, Anguirus, Gamera, Mothra, and others.

2). Alien: These Gijinka have origins that don’t involve being on Earth, meaning they originate somewhere in space or from other dimensions. Most of them are hostile and most are controlled by hostile alien civilizations wanting to take over Earth, save for a few exceptions that is. They can be summoned by alien races such as the Xillian. Notable Kaiju include: King/Queen Ghidorah, Gigan, Megalon, (Rift Kaiju), SpaceGodzilla, Alien Baltan, Zetton, and others.

3). Mutant: These kaiju usually have origins from Earth, but do not bother in protecting their planet. Mutants are often seen randomly moving around and doing their own thing like fighting other kaiju, wrecking cities just for fun, or strictly guarding their territory. Occasionally they can team up with Earth Defenders and even the KGDF if they all have a common goal to achieve or a common enemy to eliminate. The Earth Defenders usually keep the mutants from ever overrunning the Earth, however if they are unchecked, these mutants are capable of destroying human civilization. Notable Kaiju include: Battra, Biollante, Destroyah, Irys, and others.

Character Example Sheets

Godzilla

Gojira

Kaiju Form

Name:
Godzilla "Gojira" "ゴジラ" II

Gender:
Female

Age:
80 Years; (Estimates say she can be much older)

Race:
Kaiju

Kaiju Size:
50 - 100 Meters (Depending on Nuclear Intake)

Faction:
Earth Defender

Personality:
Godzilla is a solitary creature, often staying away from human settlements on Monster Island, the main hub for most kaiju gijinkas. Often you can find her sleeping in a cave, patrolling the island, or watching her daughter closely. She is incredibly bad-tempered however, kicking out any intruding character out of her territory if she thinks they pose a reasonable threat to her or her child. However, she is not entirely cold, for she does help her allies if they need valuable assistance and can still be reasoned with. But when she goes into a deep raging fury, you better run!

History:
The Godzilla Family Dynasty (GFD) is one of the most well-known family legacies in kaiju history. After all, it was Godzilla, who attacked Tokyo, Japan in 1954, that jumpstarted the Kaiju Era in the first place. However, that Godzilla isn't like the one we know currently. Known as Godzilla I, the 1954 kaiju was a vengeful and chaotic spirit who wanted revenge against mankind for their usage of nuclear weapons. Nobody knew that another Godzilla was present after killing the first one with the now lost weapon, the Oxygen Destroyer...

This Godzilla, Godzilla II, appeared shortly a year after the first one while fighting another kaiju known as Anguirus I (later scientists found out it had a daughter). Many at first considered that she was the daughter of the original, yet that theory can be instantly dismissed as this character is as tall, if not slightly taller (she later gets the capacity to being able to grow 100 meters tall), than her descendent, despite indeed looking like a much more fit and slightly younger version. It's now believed she is just another separate member of the Godzilla family taking ahold of her species' mantle.

At first, many feared she'll become evil just like the original, but as time passed it became clear that she is simply protecting her territory, along with the entire Earth, from threats that threaten to destroy or conquer the planet. While she still retains a very stained dislike of humans, or not giving a shit about them really, she does not go out of her way in actively killing them but rather only attacks if she's provoked.

Recently its been found that Godzilla II has a daughter known as Godzilla III, her age being equivalent to a six year old human girl. One must also not dare in doing harm to her as her mother can sense when her daughter is in trouble and will do whatever it takes in order to protect her.

Powers/Abilities:

• Atomic Breath: Godzilla's trademark and iconic ability is to spray a blue laser beam of radioactive energy. She can fire it during both her human and kaiju forms. When charged enough or during a fit of rage, she can also unleash a devastating red spiral beam at her opponents, causing triple the amount of damage compared to the regular beam. This special beam is often used as a finishing move.
• Nuclear Pulse: Godzilla can unleash a powerful nuclear pulse that can repel opponents within a tight radius.
• Kaiju Transformation: Godzilla's kaiju transformation turns her into a giant 60 meter tall dinosaur-like kaiju, fit with jagged spines down her back, thick arms, strong claws, thick legs, and a long tail.
• Superhuman Strength: As a human, Godzilla can throw objects the size of a semi-truck, as well as slashing through metal plating and breaking down concrete buildings using her tail.
• Enhanced Regeneration: One of Godzilla's secrets in keeping on her feet in battle, or even being alive in the first place, is the enhanced regeneration that is imprinted in her cells. Weather in kaiju or human forms, she can fully heal up a pretty bad injury, say a gash on her arm, in roughly an hour, with more severe wounds taking several more hours to a day of healing. Of course, this doesn't mean she can't be killed, given if you are able to damage her grievously enough, but she can definitely recover from some injuries that a regular person would be unable to do.

Theme 1 (The March):

Gipsy Danger

Gipsy Danger

Super Armor

Name:
Gipsy Danger

Gender:
Female

Age:
18 Years

Race:
Android

Mech Size:
80 Meters

Faction:
GDF; Jaeger Program - Lieutenant

Personality:
Gipsy Danger is a battle-scarred veteran android who has seen the harshest of conflicts in her days. Despite her robotic nature, the Jaeger, as well as others, are just as emotive as regular humans are, being able to feel raw emotions of anger, fear, sadness, and others. She's also quite the patriotic Jaeger, as she represents the United States. In battle, Gipsy is a cautious yet serious warrior who takes every measure to ensure victory for the humans and with many of these experiences under her belt,
she has become a formidable lieutenant on the battlefield.

She is also very protective of her sister jaeger, Gipsy Avenger.

History:
"To Be Revised"

Powers/Abilities:

• I-19 Plasmacaster: For each hand, Gipsy possesses an I-19 Plasmacaster, a particle dispersal cannon that fires plasma via a charged carrier rail, which wound and cauterize Kaiju anatomy, which is handy when dealing with one that happens to have toxic blood.
• GD6 Chain Swords: Gipsy also has two retractable GD6 Chain Swords which is created from steel-obsidian alloy, that can be used as solid blades or whips.
• Mega-Punch: Gipsy is able to dump much of its coolant as an improvised weapon and possesses a rocket for increased punching power in its right or left elbow.
• Turbine: Gipsy's Vortex Turbine maintains health checks and returned radio chemical readings in excess of safety parameters. The turbine can also be utilized to fire a directed heat weapon powerful enough to puncture completely through a grappling Kaiju when fired at point blank range.
• Twin Rear Jets: Gipsy also features two rear jets which allows for an increase in forward movement for a limited amount of time. They can be used to aid in the the Jaeger's ability to leap into the air, quickly decreasing the distance between it and a kaiju to land a melee attack.
• Size Increase: Like all the Jaegers, Gipsy is outfitted with a special height enhancer that increases her height up to 50 meters tall, as well as being able to make her back to normal size. It does waste a ton of energy, having a time limit of up to 8 - 10 minutes, depending on how much energy she uses, before she either shuts down or is forced to go back to regular size.

Akane "Kiryu" Yashiro | NPC

(Colored by me)

Full Body

Super Armor

Name:
Akane "Kiryu" Yashiro

Gender:
Female

Age:
31

Race:
Android Cyborg

Mech Size:
50 - 100 Meters

Faction:
GDF

Personality:
"To Be Revised"

History:
"To Be Revised"

Powers/Abilities:

• Flight Pack: Akane's primary weapon of choice in both regular and Super Armors is the flight pack on her back and waist. This allows her to fly in the air for long distances at a time. In addition, the pack also comes with twin laser cannons on her shoulders and two forward firing rocket launchers alongside four batteries along its back and sides for launching guided missiles. Upon emptying its payload, the flight pack can detach from Kiryu's body and used as a projectile shield before being remotely detonated. The pack also contains nanobot self-repair units and other weapons such as pistols and swords.
• Electrical Blade: For close combat, a short blade can be extended from Kiryu's right wrist to discharge a crippling electrical surge into the opponent's body.
• Drill-Hand: Kiryu's right hand can collapse into a revolving drill, which allows to tear through hard rock, steel and armored kaiju hide.
• Oral Maser Cannons: Only present when wearing the Super Armor, Kiryu can blast maser cannons for her mouth.
• Absolute Zero Cannon/Triple Hyper Maser Cannon: Kiryu's chest, both as an Android or in the Super Armor, can unleash two ultimate firing weapons behind a trio of folding panels that can deal a great deal of damage towards the opponent, but at the cost of wasting a hefty portion of her energy reserves. The Absolute Zero Cannon fires a ball of energy that flash-freezes its target to Absolute Zero, thereby causing it to disintegrate under the weight of its own mass at the molecular level, but wasting 40% of her energy reserves. The Triple Hyper Maser Cannon can fire a large volley of maser fire and can be fired simultaneously with Kiryu's mouth cannon, wasting slightly less energy than the AZC (25%). Only one weapon can be equipped at a time.
• Size Manipulation: Kiryu can grow up to a height of 60 meters and can then use her super armor. She can only stay up to that size for up to ten minutes at a time, due to the energy it consumes.

[Metadude]

I'm interested, but - is it possible for players to be purely Kaiju based?

Eg, someone wanting to play a non-Human, more monstrous in appearance character?

Personally i'm attached to Mechs, but not Jaeger type ones from Pacific Rim

@Metadude

It can work, yeah. Although it depends on what your character is so I'd like to see it first before jumping to that part of the conclusion.

There's not just Jaegers you know... you have also android resembling mechs from the Godzilla series as well (MechaGodzilla, MOGUERA, etc)... even Evangelion's Eva units make an appearance here!

[Metadude]

Those are actually the type of Mechs I was hoping for, Kiryu is the reference model I was wanting to play as

[Lmpkio]

@Metadude

Now I'm going to utilize Kiryu as an important teacher character for the KGDF (sorry about that), BUT there's also MG II from the Heisei Series that is free to be utilized (Also featured on the poster above) as well as other mechs from that series.

Or hell, you can create your own character if you want :P

[Metadude]

I meant the design, not the character name lol

Eg, a sleeker say "Mecha Godzilla 4" based on the Kiryu iteration amrock.deviantart.com/art/Kiryu-a-go-…

Weaker, simply faster

That works for me

[Lmpkio]

@Metadude That can work.

However if you want more emphasis on sleekness and mobility, I can allow for you to create a character based something like THIS:

My Hider

This one has designs from MechaGodzilla, Evangelion Units, and even Metal Gear. This is probably something you may be interested in.

[Metadude]

I actually have a figure of that guy, love the design but a little too over designed imo
I prefer function over style XD

[Lmpkio]

@Metadude

(You lucky son of a bitch for getting the overpriced Shiryu)

Fair enough though.

[Metadude]

Heh heh, tempted to get the alternate exclusive version of him at some point too... once I stop loving the Black Series line of Star Wars figures ;-;

Getting a bio written up now

Within the chest are three sets of rapid fire chainguns, each round packed with explosive ammunition to aid in support of other KGDF or PPDC forces.

[DracoLunaris]

Definitely interested

[The1Rolling1Boy]

I'll be joining but i'll make my character off to the side in my own character forum

[Lmpkio]

@Metadude I would prefer to have the pics to be where they are instructed to be and within the [img][img] (2nd box has a / before img) and I do recommend maybe going into more detail with its history unless maybe it’s brand new so specify that as well. Otherwise he looks ok so far.

[Lmpkio]

I made some example sheets that you can base your info on. The history for them needs to be heavily revised (because it appeared that my brain was turned off when making them), but the rest is pretty solid.

[Lmpkio]

@Metadude Looks better, but are you sure you cant put anything more descriptive for personality and history?

[Metadude]

@Metadude Looks better, but are you sure you cant put anything more descriptive for personality and history?

@Lmpkio

I don't know much about the world at hand for what you've got planned, so I figured keeping his history basic would be the best course of action. As for personality, not sure what else I could include?

[Lmpkio]

@Metadude Eh fair enough I suppose. Just keep that in mind for any future characters if you happen to make one. (Lore will be made more accessible from there although you could make up significant battles with other kaiju if need be)

@The1Rolling1Boy@DracoLunaris How goes your characters btw?

[Holy Grail]

@Lmpkio ....is it possible for me to use Shin Godzilla this time around? XD

[Lmpkio]

@Holy Grail Ye- no. HOWEVER, since you're going right for the jugular, that's going to be an entire episodic arc all on its own. However, I'll be controlling him/her along with many of the other Godzillas (though Im leaving open Space Godzilla, and Mechagodzilla I and II).

[Holy Grail]

@Lmpkio **Jaws music platys in the background** Dibs on Space Godzilla! :D
