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! [/center] [hr] 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. [hr] [center][h2]BRIEF FACTION INFORMATION[/h2] [hider=The KGDF] [img]http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080222195615/godzilla/images/thumb/0/08/GDF_Logo.JPG/500px-GDF_Logo.JPG[/img] 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: [hider=Pan Pacific Defense Corps] [img]http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/pacificrim/images/f/fd/PPDC_Logo_03.png/revision/latest?cb=20140112021349[/img] 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. Currently overseen by Marshal Herc Hansen after the death of the original creator, 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 (In Action - Mark III), Striker Eureka (Deceased - MK V), Crimson Typhoon (Deceased - MK IV), Cherno Alpha (Deceased- MK I), and various others. More recently however, the PPDC had just released their newest models, the Mark 6s, which include Gipsy Avenger, Titan Redeemer, Saber Athena, and Guardian Bravo. [/hider] [hider=NERV] [img]https://bluestreak2.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/newnerv2.png[/img] 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" and mentally linked with their respected pilots. 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...

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). [b]Earth Defender:[/b] 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). [b]Alien:[/b] 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). [b]Mutant:[/b] 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.
