Primordial Uprising - [Kaiju & Monsterverse-Inspired RP]

i'm gonna be a bit longer, staying the night at a hospital visiting someone, so it'll most likely be monday or tuesday.

Primordial Uprising - [Kaiju & Monsterverse-Inspired RP]

Okay I came up with a better and marginally less derivative monster idea, if this is still accepting them.

It's a radioactive dragon.

Now I know you're going to say "hey that's just Godzilla" but bear with me. I meant this thing is an active radiological monstrosity in a way that Godzilla is never really presented. Radiation seethes off of this thing in invisible toxic waves, and its heart is a burning nuclear reactor, like a stellar core. Also more emphasis on the Dragon part, as it fully resembles a winged dragon.

I think this thing is going to be an alien of some kind; a stellar parasite that lives on the surfaces of stars and feeds on their fusion-bodies.

Here's the sample art.

@Dead Cruiser

Actually, last I heard, Godzilla was technically that, he just produced 'clean' nuclear powered blasts. XD could be wrong of course.

Primordial Uprising - [Kaiju & Monsterverse-Inspired RP]

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?

@wxps350

That is also a good question, though from what i've seen of godzilla content over the years, I was assuming regeneration far above human standards, but with some kind of limiter [like rapid regen but with an upper limit, or a simply impressively high rate that doesn't constitute invincibility.] were a given for most of them in some form or another.

Primordial Uprising - [Kaiju & Monsterverse-Inspired RP]

Well it wouldn't be kaiju without magic and science, I suppose. Anyone remember King Caesar?

@KingOfTheSkies

I do xD

<Snipped quote by Shoryu>

They can definitely have some mythical elements to them - however you'll just have to show me what exactly you have in mind.

@Lmpkio

Alrighty! I'm on it then!

hmmm, if mythical elements are present, is it possible for a Kaiju to have an avatar of sorts? not so much a new character, as literally a smaller projection used to communicate with tiny things without crushing them? XD

Just a possibility that came to mind to ask about, incase it made a little sense for some XD [granted, given how 'fresh' everything is, having an avatar might not help them very much, any 'small one' languages they know, would probably be wholly different from anything spoken 'today', though the act of 'trying' to communicate might mean something to someone.]

Primordial Uprising - [Kaiju & Monsterverse-Inspired RP]

@Lmpkio
QUESTION!

How 'magical' can things get? Since this is inspired by godzilla mythos among other things, I've discovered over the years that some of the creatures, such as the moth monsters, and a couple others, had various magical or spiritual themed power behind them, or I may have been learning from the wrong source, who knows! but it's good to ask! :D

Primordial Uprising - [Kaiju & Monsterverse-Inspired RP]

If this still has room for more new applicants, I'll work on a CS tommorrow >3>... Kaiju stuff is my JAM! and I actually have a couple of concepts for one that hopefully will flow well here! at the moment though, I am absolutely wrecked from a hard-day, so I simply can't do anything right 'now'.

Edit:On a side note, should I specify the concept I have in mind, just incase someone already made it, or might inadvertently do the same thing, or just focus on making the CS when I'm able tommorrow?

Cloak's Crew and the Changeling

@thedman

The changeling chuckled a little and wandered over to the window as well <Oh aye, we'll certainly speak again, and I just realized I never introduced myself properly... I am Chryssocolla, though Chryss is much easier.> His horn lit up then and calmly dragged the dead queen across the floor, though it was starting to dust up, most of it was still intact enough... enough to-<I should probably use this as a sign for the ponies down there... If they know we helped kill off a queen, it should at least get them to consider staying chill.>

Beyond that he hopped up on to the edge of the broken window, and leaned out to get a look as well <I'm going to deposit this where they can clearly see, and go check in on my ship, I have some survivors to convert to our hive before they rot away in absence of their queen, then I'll return to help with communication, it shouldn't take too long.> Then he glanced back to the still prone crew-man <Also, I could sense your curiosity earlier, he will be okay... His spine was severed, but not destroyed, we can mend bone and nerves fine, it will just take time... and we may need to retry a bit to adapt to your biology, so he will still be out for a while.>
____________________

The tall red clothed man didn't seem to be phased by the bulky armored marines focusing on him, and simply continued a casual pace of approach, spreading his arms after a few more moments to make some showy gestures with his speech "They call me Cloak, er Cap'n, tho ah cant be much a cap'n without a ship, heheh." His arms went wide first, before one curled against his belly as he made a slight 'greeting bow', the other pointing straight up at the sky "And ah come from up thar." Then he straighted up and raised a hand to his... chin... area... "I suspect farth'r up thar than yerselves, in tha gret zea rather than beyond, given ah saw yer ships pear'in outta thin air as we fell tord a rock, tha turned out to be a hidden world, heheh."

A closer view didn't reveal much more about him beneath the clothing, though he was quite tall at barely a foot shorter than the armored suit, the hat's brim covered any view of 'face' from the sergeant's angle of view. otherwise though his body was structured quite tall and slim, and his clothing was clearly fabric and leather... it actually looked fairly fancy, if unnecessarily modified to cover every last inch of his form... visually, the sword and musket looked entirely plain. "Rather glad to see summin speak'n simple 'ere, ah did'n much fancy try'n ta talk to critter's at only know a local lingo."

The new Thiccness

---

@evanist@lugia@ridlins

There was little sound remaining beyond the ship but the crackling of the ring of fire, the firey reature turning it's gaze hither and thither, seemingly glaring at the forest, the trees almost seeming to lean away from it's glare... For a moment her gaze turned nearly under herself, locking directly on the pair of a 'pony' and a dragon, it wasn't clear to anyone else, but she sensed some of her sisters magic lingering on that one... it clearly wasn't who her eyes were telling her it was, but she had more important business to tend to at the moment.

Her gaze returned to the ship and the fuzzy creature that was coming out of it... she seemed about to drift down to interact, when something else flew up behind her, three streaks of color, they came up so fast there was barely a blink to notice them before they stopped next to her with such force that the back-wind blew the flame of her mane and tail quite wildly... clearly allies, as she stayed thoroughly calm with their presence. They of course were smaller quadrupeds, though their features were hidden behind masks, armor, and flight-suits with lots of purple and black... They seemed to communicate for a few moments before the firey creature visibly relaxed, even from a distance...

In moments the fire faded from her body, leaving the pristine whiteness behind accompanied by the river like flow of neon rainbow mane, and far less 'firey' eyes, before her attention returned to the fluffy thing and she simple folded her wings, dropping out of the air... And upon landing with a Thud that slightly cratered the ground right inside the edge of the fire-ring, causing it to blow away a bit before steadily dispersing it. Now she seemed far less 'threatening' without the fire, but she still carried an aura of power and authority as she approached what she assumed was a representative of these creatures.

"Hello little one, What are your intentions now?" She 'tried' a simple communication, but it was unlikely she would be understood in her own language, which could clearly be recognized as a near orchestral arrangement of vocalization... Though if Trevor was close enough to hear, he might recognize some small bits, not enough to know what she said, but perhaps to pick up that his now 'pony' ears seemed to pick up something that other's might not... though how that might help is a mystery...

Beyond that, she began repeating herself, ever with a pleasant and motherly smile now, clearly testing different languages she knows of, bird like calls, insect like chitters, gruff barking... how this creature could 'make' these sounds was another mystery, but hopefully it clearly got the message across that she was trying to find a language they would recognize.

The Zea of Worlds

Cloak's Crew

@thedman

The battlefield was steadily growing more quiet and still, many of the rabid creatures had faded completely, and most of what hadn't fled to the safety of the less rabid, were wrapping eachother up nicely...

Of course, with the complete lack of communication options, things had grown... awkward between the marines and the strangely dressed natives, which one might note had clearly taken notice of the other creatures and their airship, but also clearly considered the big metal creatures before them a more important thing to focus on.

...

Alas, this communication issue seemed to leave the trio opposite the marines completely uncertain on what to do about it, none of them were particularly experienced in bridging language barriers.

"OI! Ain't this a helluva soit?! Hahah!" That was 'english', or some reasonable facsimile involving a very thick accent.

It wasn't hard to miss the figure walking up the edge of the mountain, clothed head to toe in red they stood out incredibly well against the forestry background, and held a gloved hand above the brim of their hat, clearly looking 'above' the parties that were met on the battlefield. "HOOOO! Nah 'Thas' a 'real' ship! Sad she's ol busted up!" There wasn't a bit of his 'body' visible under all those cloths, but he was clearly armed... with things that would be embarassing to try using against a marines armor...

The Changelings

The changeling chuckled slightly at Lee's shock and shrugged it off <Heheh, I can understand why, even with just telescopes we can see things function a bit differently in some places... Other species doubted it as well once upon a time, before they failed in past conquests. You could say it's not technically their biggest threat either, being quite ancient, they and older queens are also the most militarily experienced minds at 'least' in this hemisphere.>

The a low playful snort sounded and the three of them all let off silly buzzy chuckles before he continued <And... well, heheh, our species is 'technically' fugitives, depending on how you look at it... mainly due to hives and queens like the one you just splattered attacking other races because they're too short sighted to see how that will affect their ability to be well fed. Alas, it tends to take a generation or so for civilians to start being forgiving again... lucky us, the immortals are a bit smarter than that and can ward off xenocidal reactions by the ignorant.>

He straightened himself up then and gave an oddly proper bow [color=green]<and I'm remarkably glad that I encountered one with an open mind first. I'll be quite happy to help with communication... I can't promise the more common one's will trust 'me', but their leaders can probably see how suicidal it'd be for me to lie, and->[color] He paused suddenly, straightening up and seemingly glancing at the wall <Hahah, speaking of others though, it seems some other strange bipedal thing is approaching your friends outside, from the forest, and seems to be speaking their language.>

Luna Butting into everything... and now less

---

@lugia

Luna chuckled quietly and shook her head "Certainly not!... at least, no sooner than anyone else. There are many strangers loose in the forest, better to keep an eye on everyone 'visiting' at once." She didn't clarify, but that also meant anyone wandering uninvited might be prone to arrest, or more.

Then she shrugged just slightly "And, you will figure it out, it is a natural skill, just don't lose your patience with something so small, you're starting even lower than a foal would, at least they have genetic instinct."

He rather quickly wandered off on his own it seemed... Well, she wasn't here to baby sit him, now that the threat was past, she could return her focus to other things... and it seems that yet another of the newer visitors simply vanished into thin air again, this was getting tedious... they'd have to post permanent guards around the forest's perimeter to watch for future spontaneous arrivals.

With that, this current iteration vanished in a cloud of... 'nighty magic stuff', and flowed through the air to return to her original body, along side the other now obsolete clone.

@Rune_alchemist

Collab

It was... a strange sight, like stepping into the past... or at least a part of it.

This strange Twilight environment held a strange resemblance to an ancient town she recalled, one that she discovered later had faded away in her absence... However, it was certainly not this tall, this city looked like it could loom above even mane-hatten's heights.

More importantly though, there was a reactoin to her presence, something that made her both curious and wary, and she... not so much 'walked' or flew, but vanished and appeared a couple of meters from the strange little box... this honestly seemed like the kind of silly thing that Discord might pull... if he were being predictable at least.

This didn't stop her from lighting her horn, and tugging at the bow to loosen the box... honestly somewhat prepared for it to explode confetti at her or something.

------------

As soon as the lid popped off, Luna would not be disappointed, though in an unexpected way.

"Oi, what'cha doin? That's me hat!" The voice was high pitched and likely a little confusing to locate. "Where ye lookin at? Down sexy tall legs! The brightly colored box at your hooves!" Yes, the brightly colored box was speaking, and its top wasn't a top at all, but a hat rather. How was said hat moving like lips? Well, it was probably best not to question such things for ones sanity.

------------

Luna's eyes went wide when she heard the voice, indeed first glancing all around for it's source, before following it down to the 'talking box'... heavens, not what she expected precisely, but still rather strange...

She took a step back, quickly floating the 'hat' back down to sit on the box "Oh dear, I'm sorry about that, It seems like something may have been stuck inside and trying to get out. I... have not met a talking box before... at least not one without something inside of it doing the talking." This was rather silly, but dreams were strange things, and she had time to play along for now.'

------------

"Hey hey, that's alright star-spangled beauty. I am a merciful, and understanding box, after all." Pausing for a moment the box lid popped off its body for a moment, seemingly realizing. "Ah, how rude of me! I've yet to introduce myself!" Somehow jumping into the air, twirling in place while a few stars flew out from the box before popping like fireworks, he introduced himself. "I am Cornelius C. Box. A pleasure, oh mighty tall dark and beautiful! I am currently hiding from a friend of mine. We were playing hide and seek and I'm currently doing the hiding. I'd love to stay and chat, but if you could skedaddle before she finds me, I'd be forever in your debt!"

"Cornelius!" Suddenly from above a sing songy voice Luna might recognize as Shael's could be heard. "Found yoooou!~" If Luna so happened to look up, She'd see the Ebon riding on what looked to be a giant cloud of cotton candy, hanging off the side of it, grasping the top with her feet being used for balance. Leaping off, the Ebon fell, fell, fell…before it landed on the ground, rolling, scooping up the small box in her arms, and cuddling it. "Tee-hee! You can't hide from me you silly box!"

"Never would dream of running from you, madam Shael!" The box laughed jovially turning to Luna. "Friend of yours?"

"Hmm….ah! Star-Mane!" It Seemed as though Shael for the most part was fully lucid in her dreams. "Hee! Dream-Walker? President will be jealous! It's her unique selling point, Tee-hee! What brings you to this little corner of this Ebon's mind? Here for a chat?" Pulling a giant candy-cane looking object out of nowhere she offered it to Luna. "Want some candy?" Cornelius seemed to find a seat on top of Shael's head.

------------

This was so silly, it reminded her of the time she peeked into Tiberius' dreams... animal's dreams were strange, and often nonsensical... She giggled softly at the strange box's rambling, something that still sounded fairly musical actually. "Ahh, heavens, how pleasant, I suppose I shall-" The shout from above though, interupted her and she backed up a bit more to look up and... well...

Admittedly, the cotton candy cloud was a bit much of a traumatic reminder of days of old, and it gave her... thoughts... but the creature attached to it assauged many of t hose worries as she watched it dropping down to assault the box with affection... it was still an adorable sight to witness, and it seemed she was noticed quite soon.

She put on a soft smile and eyed up the strange creature from up close once more "I see you have such a thing, fascinating, I have not encountered many who even know of dream-walking." She perked up at the offer of 'candy'... then shrugged, she could still play along at least. "Why not." And floated it over with her horn to take a lick. "And you could say that. you passed out from your injury, and I thought I would see if your's was a dreaming species that I could attempt to communicate with in this manner... It should do well to bridge the language barrier for a short time at least, and to learn a bit about eachother, yes?"

She also gave a short polite bow of her head "And, I am Princess Luna, it is... prefferable, to meet you properly, hmhm."

------------

"Shael sees, Shael sees." Yes yes, names were good. Handing over the candy cane, the Ebon giggled. Bowing with her long, unnaturally flexible arms she introduced herself. "Shael'Sallatha of the Ebon Consortium. Jester and former advisor to the President! And this,tee-hee," She giggled, patting the colorful box on her head. "Is Cornelius! My best friend since I was created, hee!"

"It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Princess Luna!" Cornelius replied from atop his perch.

"Ah yes yes, Jessiel is always so concerned. Good fellow! Always taking care of little Jester Shael despite all his complaints, tee-hee!" She giggled, eyes expressing joviality as she finished. "What does Luna wish to know? This Ebon shall do her best to reply, tee-hee! But perhaps it would be best to enjoy the sweet festival memories as we do so?" Pausing a moment, Shael twirled, ornaments in her hair chiming and jingling pleasantly. "Ah, home home. Such a shame this one will likely never see it again."

-------------

She smiled pleasantly as she watched the showy creature posing and introducing herself, it was actually making her think slightly of a more mature pinkie pie, less drug like obsession with the silliest thing possible, and more 'show and flair'... She gave a slightly more enthusiastic bow of her own. "It is a pleasure indeed, in both cases." Before straightening back up. "Mmm, though saying you were 'created' does make me curious..."

She let it slide for the moment "Alas, there is always something important to talk about isn't there?" She gave off a small sigh but nodded "There are many questions, though I do not know how long we will have in this case... but exploring the destival will certainly not hurt... and of course, one of the biggest questions that comes to mind is what you plan to do in the near future,. and perhaps any information you may have about how you came here... Though I don't know that you'll 'never' get home, i'm sure there is a way, though it will likely take much studdy to discover 'how'."

--------------

"Oops, perhaps said too much, heehee!~" The Ebon laughed. "Will speak later, tee-hee! For now…" Waltzing slowly over to the railing overlooking the city far, far below, Shael motioned for Luna to follow. "Follow, Dark Orchestra of Moon Tides. Dance with the Ebon, even if they are just passing ghosts." Cornelius followed, taking off his lid and mimicking the movements of a bow before falling with her, the lid flipping a few times in the air before it followed after her.

Without another word, she leaped off the balcony, falling to the street below. As soon as Luna followed her, she would find herself among a maze of brightly lit streets, the din of music and festival clearly heard. It would have been a lively display, and yet…a certain melancholy seemed to permeate the atmosphere. Despite the supposed warm atmosphere of the dream.

"Hee!" Waltzing along the street, Shael led Luna through the cities mazes. Several stalls that seemed to be selling different things and such lined the streets, filled with various alien foods that Luna could try, if she wanted. "How does the Princess find it? Festivals are so common in the Consortium, but they are all so wonderfully fun all the same!" Pausing for a moment at an intersection of four roads, Shael spoke in a mildly more serious tone. "No idea how we came to your pretty little planet. Simply traveling through a standard wormhole drive standard for Space Travel! Such a luxurious gift from the humans, tee-hee! But opportunity is born from tragedy. We simply wish to study and catalogue. Ebon mean no harm, only study!~" She giggled. "…though sometimes perhaps get carried away."

Some new Thiccness Butting in

---

@evanist and technically [@everyone] Who can see the sky XD

It really seemed like quite a horrid situation, the progressing damage was mounting as the vines were joined by thicker roots that had a better chance of forcing their way under armor or bending metal out of the way.

The storm was relentless!

That said though, the plants that had made it inside 'did' slow down as the internal temperature dropped, it didn't stop them so well, and outside it almost seemed like the forest itself was trying to lean in around the ship to swallow it.

At least, until something happened that likely anyone in the forest would be able to witness, the eclipse up in the sky flashes, and the ring of light around almost seemed to fall from the sky, a spiral of fire seemed to pour into the forest with astounding precision, creating a ring of fire incinerated the vines and roots, cutting them cleanly loose and, it seemed, causing the forest itself to lurch away from the crash-site.

The source might not have been particularly clear at first, especially to those who were watching it from afar, nor the cameras or sensors of other ships, but the Avali ship would get a clear view, as the conjured ring of fire spread slowly away from the ship, and 'not' towards it, as if something were controlling it, something else arrived with a wash of heat, some shimmering white quadruped that seemed to be decorated with fire for a mane and tail, and brightly glowing eyes.

It did however seem to be focused on the forest and the fire that pushed it back, fire that stopped after a few seconds more, pulling away to give the forest room to 'relax'.

@ridlins
oh hi! Sorry about the long wait, We just had a hurricane over the last week or so and I've been dealing with the aftermath, rather little compared to most people who got hit, but it still needed cleaning up, and made it rather hard to focus on leisure like RP @x@

I'll read up and get a link right after dinner.
