[list] [*][b]Superhuman Strength:[/b] Due to his Ultra heritage Shinjiro possessed natural superhuman strength. Some examples are of when he once caught the kick of a bully, unintentionally crushing his leg, or when he created dents in the steel floor of a factory barehanded. Also it has been stated that his battle armor only focuses his strength in combat meaning he fights with his own natural powers and that every blow to his opponents is by his own strength. [*][b]Superhuman Leaping:[/b] Due to his Ultra heritage Shinjiro can leap great distances thanks to his muscle strength, particularly in his legs. He can also survive falls from heights that would kill a normal person. [*][b]Superhuman Durability[/b] Due to his Ultra heritage Shinjiro is more durable than a normal human, as a child he fell from a two story ledge and all he did was cry. Moments later he was fine and went home and slept without a single injury. He also has a slightly enhanced healing factor, having once recovered from a serious burn wound on his entire upper body, while wearing his armor, in as little as three days. [/list] [*][b][color=ed1c24]Ultraman suit:[/color][/b] A newer model than the suit worn by his father, this Ultra-like exo-armor allows him to tap into his Ultra Genes providing him with armaments. Also the armor is powered by Shinjiro himself so overuse will leave him tired even to the point of fainting as signified by his mechanical Color Timer. [list] [*][b]Focus:[/b] While Shinjiro's strength is his own when he fights, the suit helps him to tap into his Ultraman Factor, meaning he is stronger while wearing the suit than without it. [*][b]Protection:[/b] The suit also provides Shinjiro with extra protection besides his own durability. [*][b]Specium Blades:[/b] On his arms Shinjiro's armor is armed with Specium weapons, contained blades of energy that he can use in several ways. The Specium Blades, being made of Specium energy, are powered by Shinjiro's own body so overuse can tire him. [list] [*][b]Acceleration:[/b] Shinjiro can use the Specium Blades to propel himself at incredible speeds. [*][b]Thrusters:[/b] As well as propelling himself forward Shinjiro can use them to fly through the air. [*][b]Defenses:[/b] The Specium Blades can be used to block most energy attacks. [*][b]Blades:[/b] Like their name suggests, the Specium Blades are blades of energy that can slice through any conventional matter. He can cut through objects as hard as a solid stone projectile several feet thick in one swing. [/list] [*][b]Specium Ray[/b] Shinjiro can fire the same attack as the Ultra whose DNA he inherited. Shinjiro fires this beam by putting his hand in the classical cross position, however instead of his vertical hand it is fired from his horizontal arm. It is devastatingly powerful and his most draining attack. Also after use the suit seems to need to cool down, releasing large amounts of steam. The Specium ray uses another system on Shinjiro's arms, so while the beam is being prepared the normal Specium weapons are not accessible. [*][b]Limiter:[/b] Shinjiro's suit is outfitted with a limiter holding back the amount of energy his suit can absorb from him, when released his Color Timer turns red. Upon doing so Shinjiro receives a power boost, gaining greater strength, speed, and endurance but has a limited amount of time before he is completely drained of energy. [/list] [*][b][color=ed1c24]Mimicry:[/color][/b] When forced into combat and in need to protect his identity, Shinjiro can use this device to appear as his armored alter ego. However, this change is in appearance only and Shinjiro has no actual access to his suit. [/list] [color=ed1c24][u][b]Backstory:[/b][/u][/color] Shinjiro Hayata was the son of the legendary Shin Hayata - the first person on Earth to have merged with the mysterious Ultra alien. His father worked for Monarch under the specialized Science Special Search-Party (SSSP) as the vice-captain to Captain Toshio Muramatsu. Their task was to investigate and scout out locations of potential Titan activity and report back their discoveries. During one mission, Shin was out alone scouting in his jet when he suddenly became in the middle of an extraterreastial chase as Ultraman arrived on Earth while pursuing an escapee of the Monster Graveyard; Bemular. During his chase, he and Shin ultimately collided with one another, killing Shin in the process. However, out of remorse, Ultraman gave Hayata his own life and merged their bodies to keep him alive. After Bemular was destroyed, Ultraman stayed to protect Earth from more threats in secret. While he retired from battling the titans, he still served Monarch in their reconnaissance and to battle more "sizable" threats. The SSSP would eventually disband in 1989. Through the Ultraman Factor, the Ultra Genes were passed down to Shin's son, Shinjiro, who also gained enhanced strength and durability. While he spent an otherwise normal life at school, he never knew the source of his powers - until much later - but struggled to learn how to control it. At home Shinjiro and his father had started to grow distant due to his abnormal condition. However, Shinjiro wouldn't know the truth about his powers until encountering with a now resurrected Bemular. Yet before he could get mauled, his father suddenly dropped from the sky from a Monarch Carrier Plane to save him, donning his battle armor as he once again battled his old enemy from years past. Shinjiro was thrown onto the plane as was finally told the truth about his father and their powers. However, in his old age at 68 years, Shinjiro's father eventually found himself overpowered by the alien Bremular and was gravely injured in the fight. Watching from the plane, he couldn't let his father die as he forced the other personnel to help his father - but not without donning a new advanced suit of armor. He would then join the fight and combat the alien menace with a ferocious vengeance in wanting to tear him apart. While he fought way better than his father, even he found himself close to death as he was hit point-blank by the creature's heat ray. However, Shinjiro was then instructed on how to unleash the Specium Ray, impressing the opponent and forcing him to fly away. The boy would then faint in exhaustion as he and his father were taken to the hospital. Shinjiro would eventually find himself better in as little as three days, thanks to his slightly enhanced healing factor, and while his father would remain in a coma, he too would ultimately survive. With the secrets of his father already revealed, and his friends avoiding him due to his abnormal strength -(unrelated to the battle - rather due to when he crushed the leg of a bully unintentionally) - he would then take his father's place as the new Ultraman. With that, the SSSP would also be refounded. Shinjiro's suit's technology would also be replicated to make other suit versions for the other agents involved - only that they were specialized just for their non-enhanced bodies. Rumors had also escalated about these technologies finding themselves used in other secret projects by the Japanese military. These include; "Project: Jaguar", "Project: Jaeger", "Project: EVA", and the highly classified "Project: MG".

All the nearby onlookers threw themselves into a panic as they ran back to the safety of the metropolitan lights, screaming their lungs out while crying for immediate assistance and calling 911. [url=http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/godzilla/images/6/64/GROE_Trilopod_Character_Sheet.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140921034526]The abomination[/url] meanwhile began to make his way onto shore and immediately initiates a rampage through the bristling park in a fit of primal rage. He was abysmally hungry for any form of viable nutrients that he can get his hands on - and they were all running scared from him. He would engage any moving organism - regardless of who they are - charging at them with his hooked claws whole, ripping through the lush grasses and throwing park benches towards the fleeing humans. When he approached a straggler, he nabbed the person with his hooked appendages and, with his suction-looking mouth, he clamped down on the victim's chest. Once set, he began sucking up all of it's blood - reducing his poor victim into nothing but a pile of skin and bone. He tosses the lifeless corpse aside as he continues to search for more of his prey northwards. The local forces of the NYPD were amongst the first responders that were drawn to the scene as they began to open fire on the terrifying beast. Yet much to their dismay, their bullets would have little effect on it, with most bouncing off the monster's hard exoskeleton. The armored creature produces another deafening screech as it continues charging forward, tossing over a nearby police car as it rips apart through their defenses. Not even the arial assistance of a nearby chopper seem help deter the beast's ultimate fury. And it already has his sights on two officers backed into a corner... As the monster rears it's mandibles at the helpless officers, he would feel something crush the left side of his face. He could feel the hard-pressing of cold-metal and the power that was behind it as he finds himself reeling to the side and crashing into the storefront. As he raises his head over the falling debris, he finally sees the owner of that metallic foot... The NYPD will not be alone in this fight, for their savior has finally arrived... Ultraman. Beneath the cold red and white armor, Shinjiro Hayata eyes down his monstrous opponent with vigorous determination. Not taking his eyes off it, the armored hero calls out to the officers behind him. [b][color=ed1c24]"Head for cover!"[/color][/b] he tells them bluntly, [b][color=ed1c24]"I'll take care of this monster myself."[/color][/b] The two officers complied as they rushed back to their vehicles immediately. The kaiju monster finally rears back to full height as it roars back at him in defiance. [b][color=ed1c24][i]"Alright big guy."[/i][/color][/b] Shinjiro said as he readies his battle stance, [b][color=ed1c24][i]"Let's see what you can do..."[/i][/color][/b] With that, the monster begins to charge at him again while raising his hooked hands to strike the hero. Yet Ultraman was quick to react as he activated his Specium Blades, blocking the hooked hands with his left blade while striking the creature's belly with his right. The blade sliced through the protective plating with relative ease as the beast feels a burning sensation slive through him. Yet before it could counter, the blades would vibrate wildly as it launched Ultraman straight into the beast. The impact would be hard enough to send the two flying the opposite direction back into the forest, skimming across the ground before sliding into a nearby pond. As the hero attempts to pummel the creature out of his misery, it would suddenly fire a beam of red energy from his chest, pushing Ultraman away several meters as it attempted to regroup its bearing. The armor took most of the hit, only producing a minor burn mark on its torso, Shinjiro had to be more careful around this brute, less he desires a careless death. But one thing is for certain... The battle has only just begun.

[*][b][color=a9a9a9]Resources:[/color][/b] Dr. Serizawa works for Monarch, a secret division of the BPRD created specifically to study the "Titans". They are comprised of top-scientists and sport incredibly high-tech gadgets suited in studying and detecting these monsters. Any information on the Titans should be directed to he and/or to other Monarch members immediately. [/list] [u][b][color=a9a9a9]Personality:[/color][/b][/u] Dr. Serizawa is an intelligent and somewhat stoic individual with a deep respect for the titanic organisms he studies. He is very critical of the human race, particularly towards their attempts to dominate their planet and their scant regard for the rest of nature. He believes that the titans' existence - particularly Gojira's - is in the good of nature, as he appears to restore balance when it is disrupted. [b][u][color=a9a9a9]Backstory:[/color][/u][/b] Ishiro Serizawa was born in Hiroshima, Japan on April 4th, 1945, several months before the atomic bombing of said city, to Daisuke and Emiko Serizawa. Daisuke was an honorably discharged WWII soldier, who's right eye had been compromised in a battle two years earlier, and had begun his studies as a scientist, while his wife was a nurse for her local hospital. Several days prior to the bombing, the family moved to Tokyo, Japan, after Daisuke was accepted to the University of Tokyo - unknowingly avoiding their fate under the iron hand of America's first atomic bomb. There Ishiro was described as a quiet yet intelligent child who often dwelled within books of Japanese mythology told by his father. He was also very curious towards his father's work and also desired to be a scientist just like him. However in 1954, at the age of nine, Ishiro bore witness as Tokyo was attacked by the manifestation of atomic bomb - Gojira. They were forced to evacuate the city as their home was destroyed by the rampaging monster. However, his father would be soon approached by his friend, Hideo Ogata, and they discussed about using one of the former's invention - the Oxygen Destroyer - to kill Godzilla once and for all. Daisuke was heavily reluctant at first to use his knowledge against the beast, even during the days prior to Godzilla's rampage, due to the destructive power of the weapon. However, only after seeing first hand at the destruction of Tokyo, did he agree in using it only once - but not until after burning all of his research to ensure no one will recreate this weapon. And so, when he entered Tokyo Bay, Daisuke cut the sacrificed himself by cutting his own line and dying with Godzilla. With the only prototype of the Oxygen Destroyer detonated, his notes destroyed, and his own life at an end, Daisuke hoped to ensure that no one would ever discover the same terrible power he had just unleashed. Ishiro didn't learn the truth about his father's disappearance until several years later, when he accidentally came across some of his father's old diary. It turned out that not all of his notes were destroyed - at least the ones mentioning Godzilla and Daisuke's decision to sacrifice himself. It also revealed that Hideo Ogata was, in fact, a member of the Monarch division of the BPRD and that his father unintentionally joined Monarch as an unofficial member days prior to his death in the wake of Godzilla's sightings. Ishiro finally knew the truth, however any form of anger manifested instead into a form of upmost curiosity. He began to continue with his father's research and eventually was able to find Hideo, who told him all that he knew about his father, his projects, as well as Gojira and others like him. Now in the current loop, Ishiro found himself willingly agreeing to join Monarch's quest to study Gojira and other giant "Titans" that lurked in the depths, ready to reveal themselves to the world. Decades later, he would find himself mentoring a young Vivienne Graham, who he took under his wing as his assistant/student. Now he serves as one of the senior scientists and as one of the leading forces in studying the Titans.
