In one bad day for the human race, they came. Emerging from the ocean depths, descending from the sky, clawing up from the very earth itself. They had many names: kaiju, behemoths, giant monsters, colossi, titans, and so on and so forth. Their origins and motivations were as diverse as their appearances. Scientific experiments gone wrong and towering eldritch abominations rampaged alongside forgotten prehistoric creatures and mutated animals. Everyone agreed on one thing, though- they left nothing but destruction in their wake. In hours, cities were razed and armies routed, and humanity everywhere huddled in terror, wondering if our time as the dominant species on this planet was up.

In this RP, you play as two different characters. One of these characters is a kaiju, a skyscraper-sized creature and the primary source of conflict in this story. Get as creative as you want, it could be a huge robot, a gigantic octopus, an amorphous blob, some kind of supernatural beast. Go where you want, destroy cities, make allies or do battle with other kaiju. What matters is just that it's big.

Now, to keep thing grounded, you will also be playing as a normal human with some connection to your kaiju character. Maybe you're a general leading troops into battle against it, a scientist trying to study it, a journalist reporting on it, even a normal average person desperately trying not to be squashed. Someone to show what it might be like to live on the brink of extinction.

This RP is largely player directed- pursue your own agenda, maybe our characters will meet up, maybe not. Just enjoy your rampage on one hand, and try to survive it on the other.

Also the title is only a placeholder until I come up with something catchier.

Anyone on board?

Yes please!

Is this with all original characters or can canonized figures come into play?

@Lmpkio

Original characters. I wouldn't object if you took inspiration from Godzilla, King Kong, Gamera, or whoever though.

@Polyphemus I'll post here instead of the other thread since this seems busier.
This sounds intriguing; I have a couple ideas I can use already, should be fun if it works out.

Glad to see we're getting some interest! Invite your friends, I strongly encourage collaborative gameplay for this one. Start picking out what city you want to destroy first.

The real question is: Is it physically possible to be a team of giant monsters and not destroy Tokyo first?

I figured we could spread out a little. I hear Prague looks nice in ruins.

"I love San Francisco. There's so much food to see."

"I think you mean seafood."

"No, look, there's food, see?" Points to fleeing San Franciscans.

The Golden Gate Bridge has a difficult time* Do none of these directors feel any hate towards the stupid slanted streets?

It just doesn't pay to be a landmark. Though there's a few out there that never seem to be damaged- maybe we could fix that here.

Personally I was thinking of starting in western Europe. Destroy Big Ben, burned down the Louvre, straighten out the Tower of Pisa; just cause general mayhem.

That sounds great. I was actually thinking I'd start my monster off in the French countryside and make a beeline towards Paris, you and I could easily meet up.

I'll let this percolate a little longer to see if anyone else might be interested, then get to work on an OOC tomorrow.

In that case we should discuss things. Despite my earlier post I actually have something a little less typical in mind for my Kaiju.

I've got some other stuff on my plate but chalk me down to a cautionary interest.

Kaiju idea that I've got running around in my head right now if bringing lady liberty to life.
