Alright, so as you might have gathered, this RP focuses on the human side of your average kaiju story. When Megalon or Gyaos or Gappa begins trashing Tokyo, someone has to organize the evacuation, lead those tanks into battle, and come up with the brilliant plan to defeat or at least slow down the rampaging behemoth. That someone is you.

You play as either military personnel or a civilian adviser attached to the White Gloves project. It's up to you to answer the hard questions and routinely figure out how to handle a horrible nightmare scenario. There will be plenty of player efficacy, and your actions will have consequences- mishandle a situation, and you may be responsible for many deaths, or even killed yourself.

However, on the flip side, it is entirely possible for players to completely change the world around them. If the players' weapons and tactics are effective, expect armies across the world to adopt them in their own fights against this encroaching enemy. Scientist characters especially have this opportunity. Studying the creatures can result in huge leaps forward in biology, studying weapons against them huge leaps forward in engineering or applied physics. Yes, it is possible to eventually build mecha in this RP and use them to punch kaiju in the face.

As a final note, flavor art notwithstanding, this is a wholly original universe- King Kong, Gamera, Godzilla, or other established monsters will not be making appearances.

Character Sheet Templates

Up to two characters are allowed. This is intended to be an ensemble RP, so everyone is intended to have a chance in the spotlight- something to keep in mind.




The Rules

1. All rules of RPG apply. If you are unsure of these rules, please check here.
2. As GM, my word is a lamp unto your feet, and a light unto your path. Please pay attention to the things I ask. I have final say on character sheets and in-game events, though I will happily discuss any issues with you.
3. I do not approve of godmodding, breaking the fourth wall, munchkins, metagaming, or the various forms of ruining the game for everyone.
4. Please include the phrase "no brown M&Ms" in your CS to show you've read through these rules.
5. You will NOT (initially, at least, pending in-game developments) play as kaiju or mecha. I repeat this simply to avoid confusion.
6. Please discuss issues in the OOC. I would much rather see people talk out differences then storm out of the game or hurl insults at one another.
7. Finally, cut loose, have some fun!

Name: Samuel Walters (also goes by the alias of Bullet Time)

Occupation:PMC(Private Military Company) commander

Nationality: American

Gender: Male

Age: 32

Alma Mater: high school education (However he has done extensive personal research into military tactics and armaments)

Personality: Samuel is an intelligent man with an ego to show it. He believes he can't be wrong (not literately but he acts like it). He's more or less fearless and very aggressive. Life is a game to him and he plays to win. He is always looking for ways test his strategic and combat skills.

Brief Bio: Sam grew up in a low income area in New York City. He learned from a young age that people respected strength. He would frequently get into fights with other kids. He was good at fighting and he loved it. He got involved with gangs and dealt drugs. He didn't use them himself. He did it to challenge himself to get away with it and the money was a good bonus.
Once he graduated high school and it was time to get a real job Samuel joined the US Army. Shorty after joining he was sent to the front lines of a conflict in an unstable African country. The US was providing aid to the countries government to stop a local warlords attempt to take over. Unlike most soldiers Sam enjoyed warfare. He enjoyed knowing he could die at any minute. On the front lines the US wasn't only force on the governments side. There was also a private military company called Silver Talon. During a joint operation Samuel got to work with some of the members of Silver Talon. Sam loved seeing how they operated. They were far less strict and much more cavalier than the US forces. Also they were better payed. After the OP the commander of the company offered Samuel a job. He couldn't refuse.
As soon as he was able Samuel terminated his contract with the US Army and joined up with Silver Talon. He did very well in the company and was eventually promoted to a leadership role. It was there that he proved his prowess as a commander. The fellow company members were amazed by how calm he could remain in battle and how fast he was able to create new strategies. They gave him the nick name Bullet Time.
Over the years Sam experienced many conflicts in many countries. He and Silver Talon became close. Eventually when the commander retired he took his place. Years went by and the minor conflicts Sam involved himself in began to bore him. He wanted something more dangerous. Something more grand. Then UNKRCI was formed and Samuel saw his chance. He immediately offered the services of Silver Talon to the group. After all they were a UN force which was low on man power. They needed PMCs to operate effectively.

other: no brown M&Ms. Samuel trained himself to fly a helicopter. He deemed this a necessary part of leading his troops. Having an overhead view put things into a better perspective. Also he wouldn't want to sit off in some bunker giving his men orders via radio. He needs to be close to the action.

Name: Adrian "lone wolf" Cade

Rank: 1st lieutenant

Nationality/ Branch of Service: United States Army (Sniper)

Gender: male

Age: 24.

Personality: He is extremely intelligent and this can sometimes lead to arrogance. He does realize the need for teamwork, and can utilize squd tactics. He has a bit of a wild streak and functions better when he is in the lead. He is dedicated to serving his country and is very patriotic, but also realizes that the kaiju are a global threat and wants to help everyone. He wont willingly let anyone on his team die, and this has lead to him making some irrational and self sacrificial decisions in life.

Brief Bio:
He was born Adrian Cade in Oxford Mississippi. Growing up he was always considered an outcast. He wore mostly black, and disliked most other people. However he was not alone and had a small group of friends who all looked out for one another. From a young age he took martial arts to vent his anger and help him focus. He continued through public school scoring extremely high on his ACT and getting accepted into the Army academy despite a low GPA.

After four years in the Army Academy he graduated with a degree in pharmaceuticals and entered basic. In basic he excelled in solo survival and marksmanship. Very soon he was enlisted into the sniper program and honed these skills further. He continued doing so, fully intending to get out of the military when his tour was over. However the kaiju emerged which made him reconsider and stay. He requested entry into the white glove society and was accepted.

other: no brown M&Ms. Also he can carry many weapons, but his standard kit is a barett .50 cal, a smith and Weston .40, and a raider tak force combat knife. He wears standard digital camouflage and Kevlar.

Name: Anna Cecila Miller

Rank: Major
Nationality/ Branch of Service: American, US Air force (27th Special Operations Wing)

Appearance:
Gender: Female
Age: 31

Personality: Anna could be described as a risk taker, and a bit of a maverick shes not fond of being told the odds or that something is impossible. In the air she's all business especially when fighting Kaiju, on the ground she is a kind and caring person, who loves to talk and if given the time of day she will chat your ear off or hustle you at a game of pool.

Brief Bio: Born in Oregon to a airman for a father and a mother who was a flight instructor, Anna grew up around planes and aircraft her entire life. When her father and mother deemed her old enough they bought her a glider and taught her how to fly, she remembers seeing the world from the sky and how small everything was and loving it, she remembered how beautiful everything looked. She never wanted to land but eventually she had to, for three days after her first flight she spent the night in the cockpit of her glider only coming out to go to school and eat.

School was an eventful part in her life, she was a bright student but never wowed anybody even though she probably could. By her senior year she took her ASVAB and scored high in the mechanical, science, and mathematics section plus with the flight hours she had committed over the years made her a valuable asset to the Air force. But she didn't fly for a long time not until she got her first bar. After she got her second lieutenant bar, she signed up for flight school. Graduated 4th in her flight class and was sent to train in the 27th special operations wing.

For a long time she wasn't flying her trademark craft instead she was flying Choppers, A-10s, and the occasional cargocraft and gunship. Then she was given the chance to fly a F-16 and she loved it. The speed, the maneuverability, The G's were unlike anything and it gave her an adrenaline rush. She started flying sorties over Iraq and Syria in the wake of a rise in terrorism and "Making it rain" gave her a renewed sense of patriotism. Then the following year with the rash of Kaiju came the appearance of a flying one over Iraq. a joint RAF, IAF, and US air force fighter squadron was scrambled to dispatch it. It took out the entire IAF and US Squadron, it nearly wiped out the RAF squad as well. Anna was only one of two pilots who survived the dog fight with the flying Kaiju in the American side of things, to top it all off that Kaiju got away, it was not seen after that incident leaving the airmen to believe it died of it's wounds.

Due to her piloting after that incident she was approached by the White Gloves, and given an opportunity to join up. Given the chance to kill Kaiju she signed on the dotted line and didn't look back to the air force. There she trains and waits with the other pilots to drive the Kaiju back to where it crawled out of.

Other: As a back up she uses a 92FS and a 8 inch Scarab Flip knife for survival.

Name: Rio Toma

Occupation: Biologist, specializing in evolution

Nationality: Japanese

Gender: Female

Age: 23

Alma Mater: University of Tokyo

Personality: Rio is a sweet, but shy girl. She's on the quieter side, preferring to let others talk instead, and often lacks the confidence to voice her own opinions. In spite of this – or perhaps because of it – Rio has excellent diplomatic skills, and knows how to say something without ruffling anyone's feathers. This skill can be used for manipulation as well, but Rio usually lacks the stomach for that. She has a tendency to overthink things, and while she knows it's often wiser to look before you leap and weigh your options, Rio worries that sometimes she takes it too far. She suffers from depression and near constant pain, though she tries to keep up appearances. Rio's a private person and tends to be slow when it comes to letting other people in, but she'll always lend a sympathetic ear if need be.

Brief Bio: Rio was born in Okinawa, and is full-blooded Ryukyuan. She grew up playing with various American children who lived on a nearby-military base, and overall was a very bright and compassionate child, if a bit shy. After graduating high school, Rio was accepted to the prestigious University of Tokyo. Her parents were very proud of course, and Rio was practically glowing when she got off of the plane in Tokyo. Her excitement was short-lived though, as she often felt ostracized and isolated by her peers due to her thick Okinawan accent. She was miserable and lonely, and was so desperate to go back home that she finished her six-year professional degree a year early. Since then, Rio's been quieter than ever, overly conscious of how she talks and what she says.
She'd only been home for a few months when the kaiju attacked Naha. Her family had been in town that day, celebrating her mother's birthday. They were in a restaurant, deciding whether or not they should get dessert even though they knew there was cake at the house, when the impossible crawled out of the sea and brought destruction to their little island home. Rio was paralyzed from the waist-down when a metal support beam fell on her. Her parents didn't make it. She woke up two weeks later in a hospital bed.
Broken in every sense of the word, she was given pills for her pain, pills for her depression, pills for… well, just about everything, it seemed. Rio knew she was wasting away in both body and spirit, but she couldn't find it in herself to care. The doctors said it was unlikely, but possible for her to walk again if she went through physical therapy, but honestly, she didn't see the point. When she was finally released from the hospital she'd just about given up – that is, until she saw an ad for the White Gloves on TV. Then it was like a switch flipped inside of her. She could help. She could have a purpose. Rio saw a chance to help prevent what happened to her happen to anyone else. It was a long shot, but it was the only chance Rio saw to make something of herself. She's been with the White Gloves ever since.

Other: Fluent in Japanese and English, conversational in Mandarin and Korean. Would like to learn French. No brown M&Ms

AAAAGH I have an awesome character I'll be making. Scientist, particularly.

... Never in my life would anything else get me to research university course offers.

Maybe a weapons engineer. Nothing could be better in this RP or real life than creating the weird thing that the fighting boys credit to their lizard-slaying heroics.

Name: Gant "Lucky" Blanc

Rank: Warrant Officer

Nationality/Branch of Service: Canadian Army

Gender: M

Age: 20

Personality: Gant is very collected, and shows no fear in the face of kaiju that would make most cower.... But then, he tends to get scared by just about everything else. Like dark places and puddles. He tends to get panic attacks if you surprise him, which happens pretty much whenever you try to get his attention from behind. Fear-related issues aside, Gant is unfalteringly kind to all beings. Though he still believes that the kaiju shouldn't simply be killed, Gant fully understands and accepts why it's necessary to stop them. He tends to end his questions and opinions with 'Eh?' and sometimes wonders whether no brown M&Ms should be put in the candy packs.

Brief Bio: Though Gant was always rather faint-hearted in his childhood, he still aspired to become a soldier. Eventually, Gant was taken in and trained. However, he wasn't given much time to rest; a kaiju was sighted nearby, and his squad leader had been assigned to the task of taking it down. As they drove there, Gant witnessed the trail of carnage the creature left in its wake. As he pondered how and why the monster would have done any of those things, the car his squad was riding in suddenly launched into the air, bouncing before eventually landing in a construction zone.

Upon recovering from the impact, Gant saw that his team was either pinned under the wrecked vehicle, or trying to get the incapacitated out. Hearing the sounds of the monster's approach, Gant weighed his few options. Choosing one of the more dangerous choices, he charged out of cover and started shooting at the kaiju. As it chased him, it spat out a corrosive substance that managed to splash onto his left shoulder, causing injuries that still affect him today. While Gant would have died, his energy draining from the injury, a huge iron beam suddenly crashed down onto the creature.... Which caused it to crash into Gant, breaking both of his legs. When he was finally freed from the kaiju's body and taken to the hospital, the doctors came across a shocking conclusion: both his legs, though unbelievably shattered, would make an amazing recovery. His shoulder retained some of the damage, but he'd still be able to use it fairly well.

Everyone unanimously dubbed him "Lucky" when Gant decided to return to service, and actually survived a similar encounter with yet another kaiju; this time, there were two fangs lodged in him. While most people just simply called him "crazy" for returning a third time, Gant gladly did so. However, this time, he was getting paired up with a new squad. Gant volunteered for the White Gloves; they figured that he'd be just as hard to get rid of as in his past missions.

drallinix, Cade is accepted. There might be interesting applications for a sniper in-game.

Razqua, Enalias, c3p-oh: I love your sheets. There's just one critical detail missing from each, if that gets fixed I will happily accept them. If you read over the OP carefully you'll see what I mean.

And with that Rio is accepted. She's definitely a good addition to the team- smart, skilled, and driven.

Edit: Miller as well, it'll be good to have an ace pilot handy. That addition gave me a good chuckle.

Theres going to be a whole backstory for that too. Also my second character will be a geneticist and bio-engineer, early super soldier program with the possibility of complete failure anyone?
