@Lmpkio Sorry it took me so long to get a reply to ya, still recovering from the holidays

[Klomster]

Oops, i got into my usual behaviour of 'waiting until the right time to post' which means i wait indefinetely.

So, how should we do the battle in Reykjavik?

[Lmpkio]

I’ll get a post very soon - should come out later in the day.

[Metatrooper]

@Polyphemus

Hey there, I'm interested in joining this RP as a kaiju. May I have your permission to do so?

[Polyphemus]

@Metatrooper

By all means! This RP is always open. Any questions I can answer for you?

[Lmpkio]

So damn sorry for the wait - but here it is!

[Metatrooper]

@Polyphemus

Thanks man, I have no questions for now but thanks. I'll start making my kaiju

Also fancy seeing you here @Lmpkio

[Lmpkio]

@Metatrooper Oh hello! What kind of kaiju do you have in mind?

[Metatrooper]

@Polyphemus

Hey there, almost done with my CS. I can probably post it around tomorrow or the day after tomorrow depending on the circumstances. Just letting you know.

[Klomster]

The good news, i made a custom drawing of my monster using all the techniques i know (mostly) to draw a mostly unique drawing of my kaiju. It's even inked!

The bad news. I took two photos of it, and then the camera battery died.... so it will take some time before i get to uploading it.

Edit: I also made a response.
I tried to have it in the same style as yours @Lmpkio with Action, Effect, Planned action.
Again i guess i took some liberties but it was what Neurotis planned anyway so i hope it's pleasing. :)

Edit Edit: So, now i've uploaded the pics to the description. Enjoy.

The Sentinel

The Sentinel

Appearance

Name: The Sentinel

Appearance:
The Sentinel can be divided into two parts, the lower half and the upper half. The lower half comprises four giant mechanical spider-like legs, and it's immensely powerful engines. The upper half is the "head" of the mecha, which comprise the main facilities. Its outer body seems to be made up of a dark-colored metal of some sort and a few visible weapons such as turrets and missile launchers could also be seen on the outer hull. Dim blue lights can also be seen emanating from some parts of the mecha. Three large glowing "eyes" are also present in the front of the "head".

Size:
100 meters (328 feet tall)
180 meters (591 feet long)

It came from:
Cape of Good Hope (First recorded sighting)
East China Sea (Latest modern sighting)

Abilities:

• Armored Hull: The Sentinel's hull is covered in heavy armor that's made out of an incredibly durable metal that is unknown to man. It is very resistant to cold and heat, but has limited resistance against corrosive acids. Although it is immensely durable, that does not mean it is unbreakable, as enough damage will be able to destroy it.
• Shield Projectors: The shield projectors of the Sentinel projects am energy shield in front of any given area of the mech. They can create multiple shields at once to shield multiple locations, but they have a limited maximum capacity, only being able to cover about half of the Sentinel's area at once. The shields, although durable, are vulnerable to EMPs. Fortunately, they regenerate when not in use.
• Mechanical "Arms": The Sentinel posseses six mechanical "arms" that are used for manipulating objects, as well as physically attacking other large objects such as buildings and other kaiju. The "arms" more closely resemble mechanical tentacles, being made out of many different segments, and thus, have excellent flexibility. At the end of each "arm" is a claw, it has four digits and is capable of grabbing objects.
• Energy-based Weaponry: The Sentinel's primary method of attack are its massive array of laser turrets, plasma mortars and proton missile launchers. They are effective against smaller targets, such as infantry, vehicles and aircraft, and are not effective against larger targets, such as other kaiju unless uses in large amounts. A moderate amount of them are still under repairs however, around 25%.
• Purifier Beam: The Sentinel's most powerful singular attack however is the Purifier Beam, a large, immensely powerful laser that can level buildings. It is also effective against kaiju, able to deal a substantial amount of damage in a single blast. However, it has a lengthy cooldown, often requiring about 20 hours to recharge after use given the current state of the mech.
• Sublight engines: The Sentinel's sublight engines are rocket boosters located on each of its four legs which are used to traverse large distances in short amounts of time, such as allowing it to cross the Pacific Ocean in several hours as compared to months. However, the sublight engines are, as of now, disabled, due to heavy damage.
• The Forge: The Sentinel's most versatile tool of all is a factory located in its interior called the Forge. The Forge is capable of producing a massive amount of drones in a relatively small amount of time to support the Sentinel during battle. There are currently three types of known drones:
  
  Drones

  Vanguards

  
  Vanguards are the main type of drone used and produced by the Sentinel. They are the easiest to produce, and are relatively small and fragile, being slightly taller than the average human. They are less effective in small numbers, and instead used en masse to overwhelm opponents. They can switch from an aerial form to a walking ground-based form, and are armed with laser cannons and a small amount of missiles.

  
  

  Arbiters

  
  The Arbiters are the stronger, more durable cousins of the Vanguards. They also take more time and are more expensive to produce as compared to the Vanguards. Though they lack the ability to fly, they make up for it with better armor and more powerful laser cannons.

  
  

  Preservers

  
  The Preservers are the drones responsible for maintaining and repairing the Sentinel and all of its respective systems. They are even easier than the Vanguards to produce, but are extremely fragile and lack any sort of weapons.

Weaknesses:

• Slow Speed: The Sentinel's primary means of locomotion, its legs, move at an abyssmaly slow pace, even when compared to other kaiju. Due to this, it has a difficult time retreating and moving to different positions.
• Suboptimal Systems: Although the core that powers the Sentinel is powerful, it is currently damaged and is currently operating at around half its maximum capacity, the cause of this is unknown. Fortunately, its power is slowly increasing, but at a very slow pace.
• Under Repair: The Sentinel has also sustained moderate damage in some areas from unknown causes, most notably in its sublight engines and its weapons systems. Like the core, they are slowly being repaired as well.
• EMP: The Sentinel is also susceptible to EMPs, as they are capable of disabling some of its important abilities such as shields and weapons, as well as doing substantial damage to electronics.
• Weak Points: A number of cooling vents located around the Sentinel are considered weak points, as they are exposed and not protected by its heavy armor.

History:
The earliest recording of the Sentinel's existence was a primitive drawing found in an African village located near the Cape of Good Hope around 5000 years ago, depicting it rising out of the water and trekking across the sea using its four giant legs before sinking back into the depths. Throughout history, sightings continued to appear, with most of them coming from ships who sailed into remote and uncharted waters. Nearly all who witnessed it thought it was a sea monster of sorts, and some even claiming that it was some sort of divine entity. Despite all the reports, no one knew what it was or what its purpose was, further shrouding it in mystery.

The latest sighting took place in 1986, when a UN research vessel located in the East China Sea spotted the Sentinel. However, this event was unusual as the mecha turned its head to face the vessel, staring it down with three large blue eyes. The ship would then receive an encrypted transmission from the Sentinel before it disappeared back into the water. The information acquired by the vessel would then be sent to UN, which would then be sent to Terra for further study. 26 years later, Terra's scientists would ultimately decipher the message, which contained only one word, protect.

@Polyphemus

Alrighty I finished it. If there's anything I need to change or tone down simply tell me to do so and I will.

[Klomster]

@Metatrooper Will you be adding a human character? Or just run a Kaiju?

[Metatrooper]

@Klomster

As for now, just a kaiju. I'm not sure if I'll still be adding a human in the future

[Polyphemus]

@Metatrooper

Alright, love the look of this mecha! Welcome to the party, pal!

[Metatrooper]

@Polyphemus

Thanks man, got any suggestion as to where I should start first?

[Polyphemus]

@Metatrooper

Wherever feels natural. Right now we have major battles going on in Lille, Reykjavik, and New York City. Kaiju are rampaging unopposed in Kampala and the Chilean wilderness. Or you can do your own thing, of course.

[Metatrooper]

@Polyphemus

Can I have permission to start in New York?

[Lmpkio]

@Metatrooper I'm pretty sure you don't need permission to enter at this point. My kaiju Apollyon and @rocketrobie2's Lady Liberty Mech are also in New York so it's probably gonna be a three-way or 2v1 battle. If the latter, I may send out another fodder kaiju to enter the fray.
