@Lmpkio

Ceres' intent was to waltz through the South American jungle, bolstering it as he went, before finally closing in on the filthy cities of humanity, leaving even nature itself cruel and unforgiving to their survival. He knew that if his jailor's ungodly equipment was able to contain him yet failed, the massive structures humans built would become little more than colossal stone coffins once he arrived, with the full force of nature at his command. Perhaps he'd raze the city overnight. Or maybe he'd cause overgrowth over several days, slowly choking out their infrastructure until he could destroy it with a practical flick of the finger.

Yet hardly any plans ever completely play to fruition; That was his initial thought when the arrival of another Titan had appeared not by sight, but by the loud screech he felt could even fracture his bark were it any higher, which elicited a response of dozens, hundreds, thousands of lesser cries. Soon enough he spotted them-- Camazots, the Mother of Bats. Her call had summoned a legion of her children to join her in flight, before descending upon the Lord of Nature, clawing and biting at him.

For a moment, that seemed like it would've been all it would take to fell the floral Titan. He desperately tried swatting around itself, but for every single one it knocked out five more were biting and pecking in between the cracks of his bark, like a swarm of army ants devouring a lion. Cere's was eventually forced to his knees--

Which again, wasn't much of a sign of weakness from the Wood Titan.

As he knelt, his feet had extended into the dirt, creating several shorter wooden tendrils that had erupted from the earth, managing to form a secure makeshift dome of armor over Ceres as they crouched down low, crushing bats that were too slow to move and forcing the others to retreat from him. Meanwhile, he sent forth another four, longer tendrils, that swung around and swatted at the swarm as they tried to harass the Lord of Nature.

While he managed to defend himself from the swarm that harassed and wore down at him, he was forced into a defensive rut-- Practically grounded, wrapped under several tendrils in order to shield himself, with only four tendrils to prevent Camazots' swarm from bullying attacking him further. Meanwhile Camazots herself was hardly even scratched, flying circles around Ceres as her children backed him into a corner. Yet through a small crack in the dome, Camazots could faintly see one of his uncanny, plantlike eyes, glaring directly at her.

South America - Outpost 35

<\\:TERRA_ALERT_:_OUTPOST_35_ HAS_BEEN_BREACHED://>

<\\:CODENAME_CERES_CAN_NO_LONGER_BE_CONTAINED://>

"Okay. Thank you." Site Manager Juarez solemnly nodded, putting down the rotary phone-- It might have been a ramshackle relic of a bygone era, but it was somehow the best they could do after the massive tremor knocked out not only most of their technology out at Outpost 35, but all of TERRA's stations worldwide, as well as most of civilization suffered blackouts. All of TERRA's locations across the globe were thrown into a frenzy, with most major communications being an absolute nono. Right now they were all scrambling to try and get an image of what the hell was happening, as well as trying to get their electronics back online.

Juarez tried directing the manpower of his own facility, deep away from civilization-- But he was filled with dread. The phonecall he just finished had admitted that yet another Titan had awakened. This wasn't just some EMP or solar phenomena-- Whatever disabled most of the world's electricity was also awakening the massive Beasts that humanity had enjoyed such a utopian existence turning the absence of-- Like mice making merry while the cat was away. He knew Outposts were practically a farce-- Just a means of watching for signs of stirs. They relied too much on longevity of the situation, Juarez himself even comforting himself on the fact that they very likely might not awaken in his own lifetime.

But now, like dominoes these bestial gods were slowly awakening, and mere hours were all that stood between humanity and absolute genocide. His own facility was next, he knew it. He hardly even knew the nature of the beast he was guarding, left that all up to the researchers and biologists at his facility. Some sort of massive plantile being, who only mildly shifted and caused unnatural flora in the surrounding area. That was TERRA's bigger interest, the effect their own creature had on the environment. Apparently it caused entire villages to become overgrown in mere hours, and turned wildlife exceptionally aggressive. As a consequence the containment field was much larger and loose than other Titans. Terror and dread overpowered Juarez; He practically locked himself in his office, with just a phone. He had to be strong, even if it meant his colleagues couldn't see him.

Then, it finally happened.

While the crew at Outpost 35 managed to get a backup generator up and running shortly after The Wave, once again another tremor overrode the area, and knocked the power out. Initially some present thought it was another Wave that shook the entire world. But within moments that theory was proven incorrect.

A massive scope of land gradually began to rise, crumbling the earth and causing an avalanche to spread outwards across the facility. Meanwhile, the flora that already needed to be kept at bay day and night began to rapidly grow. Some tried to use their advanced tools to try and trim it back down, only lasting seconds before the facility's collapse forced them to evacuate. Eventually the rising mound came to a halt-- Before the megafloral entity shrugged off it's cloak of dirt and grass, revealing it's true form.

A towering entity, of uncontrolled growth of bark that covered it's entire body. Yet despite it's plantile nature, it had a very clear visage of a face-- A long, drooping jaw, covered in massive hanging vines. It's wicked, gnarled eyes somehow glew even in the blazing dawn of the sun. Ceres.

Despite the catastrophic destruction to the facility, some of the security managed to mount a counterattack-- Five helicopters, less than even 20 men in total. They managed to attract the entity's attention, turning one of it's eyes to glare at them. The fleet responded with firing rockets-- A few zagging projectiles of light, practically pebbles to the Titan. After a few initial shots, the Titan knelt down, placing one of it's arms on the ground, as if wounded.

"Holy shit, we're doing it! Keep firing, it's going--"

The enthusiastic captain was abruptly cut off as his entire helicopter was completely snatched with a massive spire of tendrils that rose from the ground, completely wrapping the vehicle before crushing it. Three of the other copters also suffered similar fates, being gripped straight out of the sky, smashed under the pressure of the roots and slammed into the ground. The last remaining helicopter tried to escape, turning from the fight and quickly flying off-- To which another tendril rose, leaning to the side as it whipped it out of the air.

With the scant resistance quickly overrun, and the rest of the facility being overgrown by wild and hostile flora, it seemed Ceres' initial awakening went smoothly. Until it saw an Armored Personnel Carrier quickly speeding off as fast as the damned moving brick would allow, outrunning the growth of plants. Ceres growled in annoyance, but made no extraneous efforts to stop them. It retracted it's arm from the ground, causing the massive tendrils to wilt and harden. Then, it began its massive charge in the direction of the vehicle, towards the closest bastion of civilization.

Within a matter of hours, mankind would be no more.

Ceres, the Guardian of Nature

Appearance:
Ceres appears to be mostly made of wood, albeit with some foliage and bramble within it's body, TERRA has observed. It stands in a hunched over, humanoid shape, with massive spiked branches poking from it's back, with thick vines and weeds spilling from the bottom of it's face. While it's eyes are definitely humanoid, they bear stronger resemblance to glassy plant fibres than any normal eye materials.
While unprovoked Ceres tends to lurch and move slowly, when threatened it has proven itself able to move quickly.
It's body's exact shape is ever changing, as it's rapid growth causes the coiling roots that make up its body to grow unevenly. Occasionally Ceres' "trims" itself, purposely chipping pieces of it's bark off for ease of movement.

Size:
75 meters tall

First Appearance:
South America

Abilities:

· Growth: Cere's plantlike body is composed of thick wood, capable of growing at rapid rates. It's capable of extending it's limbs to attack opponents from afar, as well as burrow it's appendages into the ground, causing them to uproot from the Earth as towering, tentacle-like weapons. So long as Ceres touches the ground, it can be capable of attacking from any direction around it's target.

· Regeneration: Even non-offensively, Ceres' rapidly growing body makes it an avid regenerator, capable of recovering severed limbs in a matter of minutes, and making small wounds almost inconsequential. It's even been observed to sever parts of it's own body to prevent fire from spreading.

· Master of Nature: Beyond it's own body, Ceres seems to have an ability to manipulate both local wildlife and flora, making plants grow rapidly and causing animals to become more aggressive. While this means little to other Titans, against bastions of civilization it is capable of turning the very environment they long subdued against them, creating chaos and disarray all around.
Over extended periods of time, Ceres is capable of creating bizarre, hostile environments that are nearly impossible to colonize, and could possibly even be hazardous to Titans to traverse.

Weaknesses:

· Vulnerability to Fire: As a titan made of wood and plants, Ceres is extremely vulnerable to fire. Left undoused it can cause massive damage over a short period of time while also cancelling out his regenerative factor.

· Photosynthetic: While Ceres requires no food to survive, it is dependent on sunlight. At night, Ceres becomes much more sluggish and tired, while also suffering from a weaker regenerative factor.

Personality:
While dormant for most of it's recorded existence, Ceres has displayed utter, white-hot rage towards technology, while showing a more docile, cultivating behavior towards nature. While aggressive to most cities and towns, it has been confirmed that it tends to leave extremely primitive tribes alone, albeit subjecting them to the same aggressive environment it creates over the corpses of civilization.

History:
Ancient records exist of Ceres acting as some sort of "Nature God", yet these few, fleeting records dedicated to it predate even civilizations such as The Aztecs or even the Mayans. From what archeologists could uncover, it's been seen as a benevolent God, that allowed for plentiful harvests and safety from disease so long as it's followers respected nature.

These limited records gave little preparation for the present, when Ceres was detected after deforestation efforts in South America hit a brick wall, coming across aggressive wildlife and difficult to remove flora. TERRA got involved after reports of entire villages being overgrown overnight, with plantlife that rapidly grew in the course of minutes. Upon investigation, they discovered a massive, megafloral entity beneath the Earth. Upon excavation and attempting to retrieve samples, the mass became animate, showing signs of sapience and mobility. TERRA responders immediately ceased attempts at harvesting and built a containment outpost around it, observing it's dormant behavior.

Ceres has been mostly inactive before and during it's containment. Yet almost as an automated response, as Containment fell across the world, Ceres awoke truly, devastating all traces of humanity around itself. While thankfully the plantlike titan is located deep away from civilization, it won't take long before it arrives to resume it's carnage...

Another question, do all Titans have some limited degree of regeneration?

Not on the level of wounds healing in seconds, but would it be reasonable to assume that Titans could recover from limited wounds over the course of several days?

Just dropping my interest for now -- This looks really cool.

Already thinking up both a potential human and monster PC.

Ivory was baffled as suddenly, out of nowhere, a walking skeleton man approached her and her newfound companion. In the first few moments Ivory was fascinated, having the prime chance to meet (and quite possible study) such a unique Mythical. They've definitely met a few, but Horizon was inexperienced with them, and something about Mythics was very odd when put through their Ki "processions". Then her excitement turned to confusion, as before she could so much as manage a word the Skeleton delivered a slew of additional, uncalled information to her. Soon the fleeting confusion died down into irritation. Jesus, he must've gone on for a good two minutes by now. Does immortality make you forget how long you talk for?!

Finally the Skeleton -- 'Alduous' he called himself -- finished his monologue, "I wish to learn more... is it plausible you two could provide adequate assistance in my endeavors?"

Now Ivory had a chance to speak.

"I--"

But before Ivory could make the fatal mistake of continuing his ramblings even longer, bullets rang out, aimed directly at the crowd. Some Nomads weren't strong enough to survive a single bullet. Others either lunged out of the way or threw up some protective maneuvers. Ivory was in the former. Being unequipped to stand much of actual guns, she immediately ran towards the nearest window. She spent the last of her attention back on the skeleton man,

"No thanks, I'm good!" She called.

She then hurled a dagger at the glass window, shattering it. She jumped out through the empty pane, somersaulting onto the airport runway just outside of it.

"Change of plans. There's an-- Oh yeah? News travels fast, I see. Evacuating the current location now. Will then standby on orders." She announced into her wrist communicator, before running away from the sudden danger scene. She wasn't going to risk getting hurt, especially over something so irrelevant.

Calvin only slightly cringed as she slammed the club into the ground, creating a miniature tremor and leaving a large crater in the road. Once she was done moving closer with her walking stick,

"Look, kid, I may have overreacted a bit there... But, you are speaking to the princess of the Oni clan, like a mere insect. Show respect to royalty or you're really gonna get hurt."

"Respect? You nearly ran me over! That's not very respectful to begin with. Not to mention calling me an insect. Didn't your mom ever tell you treat other people the way you want to be treated?" Calvin praddled, almost like they he and the princess were equals or something. The entire crowd 'Ooed' with his 'comeback', much of the initially worried or curious to the brewing battle joining those eager to see two meatjobs start slinging blows at each other. Only then did Calvin consider what he said might be interpretted the wrong way by her.

"Okay, forget I said that. Can't we just settle this over a sprite cranberry or something?" Calvin suggested, trying (and failing miserably) to salvage the situation he just made.

"I said Watch Where Your Going!" Calvin repeated in a louder voice. Was her motorcycle really so loud she couldn't hear what someone shouted at her from only a few feet away?

"You made me drop my sausage! That was all the money I had left!" Calvin explained, yelling. Not out of rage or frustration, but because he thought Aiko couldn't hear him. Meanwhile the ramp he erected over himself began to crackle, falling apart and melting.

Unfortunately for the Canadian Nomad, he had no idea of the magnitude of the situation he put himself in. Various passerby began to gather around him, the Oni Princess, and the space between them, either out of concern curiosity, or just excited to see a fight after the World Warriors Tournament was disappointingly cancelled. Perhaps all three, for some people. The crowd began to egg them on, murmur amongst themselves, even pulling out their phones and cameras to record what was about to go down. All Calvin really saw was a bunch of people suddenly appear, still oblivious to who he just accidentally provoked.

Rod held his phone to his ear, talking with his Staff on what to do next.

"What about an autograph signing? We can always throw those up out of nowhere in case of an emergency like this?"

"No, I already spent the better of five hours flying out here. I'm not gonna sit around for eight more writing the same squiggly line over and over again."

"What about an interview or two? We could probably set you up with one of the talkshows down--"

"Also no. I don't have any patience for sitting around saying 'yup' or giving out some fake answers every two seconds. Also, might need to give it a bit of time for public questions given the incident in Hong Kong with that Donkey."

Rod heard an audible sigh from the other end. "We'll... Keep thinking of something, then."

Just as Rod pulled the phone from his ear and hung up some bitch shoved into him, causing him to drop it and break the screen. Rod turned to face them in disbelief, expecting some sort of apology, recognition to who he was, just something. But nope, the complete thot just shoved past him like everyone else here, not even so much as mumbling "sorry" for breaking his new iPhone Glass.

"Hey! Watch where the hell you're going!" Rod called after her, picking up what remained of his shattered glass phone.

Ivory faked a frown. Underneath it she felt exhilirated at the idea.

"I mean that certainly is a factor, but without an official tournament to sanction it the fights might get... violent. It's a cocktail for disaster when a large group of the world's strongest warriors with hair-triggered tempers are suddenly told that their fighting buffet is cut off." She analyzed, placing her finger against her cheek.

"I honestly wouldn't call it far fetched for the "Dynamite" Nomads hulking out behind the scenes to cause severe damage to the country if things fall out of hand. It's already well documented how destructive fights between Nomads can be. The whole point of the World Warriors Tournament was for them to all fight each other in one spot without dragging bystanders into their destructive fights. You take the strongest fighters in the world, have them all in one spot, in the country with the highest involvement with Nomad Culture, it might not turn out too well..."
