[i]2020 

Growing demands for food and clean water have pushed man to develop an increasingly artificial "natural" world. Food and water rations are being laid upon the population by the United Nations. Improved growth hormones are being distributed to massive farms across the world. Many new hormones have been developed for trees to meet the growing demand for wooden shelters in FEMA sponsored camps, while the leaders of the world attempt to handle overpopulation. Humanity's control of this artificial nature, bent to the survival needs of man, has caused mass shifts in climate. Storms increase in intensity with each passing year and natural disasters become more frequent as nature attempts to balance the overflow of mankind. Still, Humanity's persistence to survive continues to trump natures attempt at balance and many humans believe their world may be drying up. 

However, recent storms have begun to swell in the Pacific Ocean. A large typhoon, not unlike Typhoon Tip of 1979, has formed fifty miles from the coast of Japan. Many ships in the area have been lost to sea without a trace, unable to be located by NOAA's weather reconnaissance aircraft. Search and rescue teams have been unable to traverse the violent waves and many fear the typhoon will make landfall soon. Humanity does not know the beast they have awoken, for in that storm lurks nature's last resort. A creature of immense power and scale, lost in slumber for millennia, has been stirred by the major shifts in climate. Its eyes are curiously set on the nearest human civilization, seeking the source of the ships in its territory. Mankind's fear of the unknown and his ignorance of his actions shall lead him to the balance nature thirsts for.[/i]

This is where our story will take off. Japan stands in the path of a curious, soon-to-be enraged radioactive nightmare. This is where I need some input from you guys. Where do you suppose our characters should begin and what role shall they play? My character, so far, is planned to be a rookie reporter from New York getting his first major story in Tokyo as a coastal wall is being erected around Tokyo Bay. Obviously, he will be caught in the hell as it begins and will fight to survive in an apocalyptic warzone. Your characters could be family or friends attempting to keep contact with him as this unfolds and as he, following the initial attack, returns home? Or, if we go the friends route, your characters could have come along with my character as a surprise, also being caught in the initial conflict?
