"The Gods of the Old World have come knocking...
Seeking to reclaim what was once theirs...
Primeval in nature, they exhibit no compromise...
Refusing to yield 'till humanity dies."






"The arrogance of man thinks nature is in our control... and not the other way around."
~ Dr. Ishiro Serizawa (Godzilla 2014)



From the days of early man, mankind had endured over several millennia of surviving within a constantly changing world. They, as a species, survived the savage beasts that constantly hunted them by creating weapons to defend themselves. They had adapted to the harsh climates that rattled the globe - from the great Ice Age to major droughts. They had survived the countless wars that threatened to exterminate them from within. And they've constantly created new tools and materials to finally thrive and control the world around them. Humanity would become one of the major the dominant species on Earth, expanding across the world to the point where they felt like nothing could stop them.

But in the grand scheme of time, we've only been around for merely a few seconds. And compared to other eras, we're merely infants in a world still unknown to us in many places.

In reality, humans were only bugs in a world of gigantic, primordial beasts. No better did humanity recognize this within the earliest part of their history. From the many illustrations found in caves and ancient murals, they all described huge beasts of incomprehensible size roaming across the land. They referred to them as almighty "gods" and "demons", divine creatures that they revered and respected. Some illustrations sported various interpretations of these creatures - some sporting giant wings, some sporting fiery-breaths, hard carapaces, and other unnatural god-like feats.

From shaping the world around them to battling one another in colossal conflicts, they all dominated the lives of ancient man as living, unstoppable forces of nature. Yet suddenly, at one point in time, most of them had seemed to vanish from historical records. When these texts were recovered after centuries of dormancy, archeologists initially believed that these "gods" were simply deities that helped the ancient people explain the world around them. They believed that such beasts were incapable of existing for one way or another.

If only they truly grasped the full picture...

However, some notable individuals knew about the existence of these titanic gods, knowing better than to join the ignorance propagated by the governments. That role fell into the hands of the "TERRA" Initiative. Assembled in 1959 by the UN, after multiple reports came in of destruction which could've only been made by their size and prowess, the international organization lead by director Matthias G. Reed made haste in identifying and securing possible source of titan activity and preparing protocols in the event they awaken. Since the inception of TERRA, over twenty outposts had been erected around the globe and every year they discover more monsters popping up on their radar.

Still, it wouldn't save them for what would come next.

On that fateful day - June 17th, 2021 - mankind became witness to the beginning of a sudden, violent resurgence. Coming out of nowhere, a mysterious, powerful ultrasonic frequency rippled throughout the entire planet, causing mass blackouts to occur along with disturbing precious electronic equipment. Not even TERRA's outposts were safe from the impact. No one had seen or predicted it coming. Nearly half an hour later, several outposts reported unusual activity within their dormant facilities. And then, in a near synchronic fashion, TERRA would be faced with several dreaded messages originating from nearly all of their outposts... all repeating the same message:

<\\:TERRA_ALERT_:_OUTPOST_*BLANK*_ HAS_BEEN_BREACHED://>

<\\:CODENAME_*MONSTER_NAME*_CAN_NO_LONGER_BE_CONTAINED://>


Caught completely off-guard and ill-prepared, TERRA scrambled to alert the Governments of the world upon to approaching apocalypse and prepared for the worse. But even their initial efforts would prove fruitless as, even with the help of military forces, they would fail to put a dent or even halt the advance of these god-like monstrosities. Within mere hours, various cities around the globe had been virtually flattened, with casualties numbering in the millions. The enraptured media demanded answers for what was previously an unknown phenomenon to the public, while scientists and journalists worked tirelessly in order to study and find ways to beat these ancient gods.

Earth has unleashed yet another Herculean feat for humanity to solve, one of the likes that they've had never seen before. Will the new world preserve their features and prevail against the titans of old? Or will the Old Gods succeed in taking back for what was once rightfully theirs?





"Our Mission: Discovery and Defense in a Time of Monsters."
~ Monarch's mission statement, circa 2018 (Monsterverse Series)



Welcome to Primordial Uprising! As one could tell, this RP is inspired by the kaiju films of those made in Japan - including the classic Godzilla, Gamera and Ultraman franchises - as well as the recent and upcoming films in America's own kaiju series known simply as the "Monsterverse" (also featuring Godzilla, King Kong, and friends). Particularly, this RP is heavily based on someone else's now defunct version, but now tuned with slightly more bells and whistles. In this RP, you can take control of both sides revolving around an apocalyptic battle between mankind struggling to defend their world and the giant primordial gods that wish to reclaim it.

As a human, you've found yourself enwrapped within the midst of the conflict, as well as on the radar of TERRA. Whether you're a scientist testing theories, a reporter covering a particular monster, a soldier or pilot combating them with state-of-the-art weaponry, a slimy individual with an agenda of its own, or even a regular pedestrian trying not to become one of the many casualties, your decisions and contributions can affect the entire outcome of the war.

As a monster, you've just broken out of your containment facility, or perhaps one of the many new faces that had just decided to pop out of hiding. You're most likely confused or enraged about what the world had become of your absence and proceed to act accordingly. However, such monsters aren't so black and white as they seem. While many are enraged titans that seek destruction, some on the other hand might those that only defend themselves for the sake of their own survival. Some may even value humanity and seek to protect them from the chaos - giving the humans a fighting chance! Either or, you are bound to run into a fellow monster and your reactions towards them can result in brutal conflict or perhaps teaming up to cause more chaotic destruction or combat a common foe.

This role-play deeply approves of collaborating and interacting with one another, with storylines and arcs being common and often to develop both your characters and the plots for both sides. Story will be more grounded in the basis of basic and simple scenarios, but as the RP goes on, more crazy events may happen down the line. But most importantly is to essence of having fun! Have fun in designing your characters and the interactions you'll have with one another. Sky is the limit!






"Must Read."




  • (1). As in basically every other RP, no God-modding, Mary-Suing, Power Gaming, Meta-Gaming, etc, is allowed.
  • (2). Don't be rude or cause drama within the OCC. If any major problems arise, settle them out with the GMs in the PMs or otherwise. Repeated offenders will be kicked from the RP.
  • (3).] Both human and monster character limits are 2 each for each player as of Arc 1 (total of four characters). (More Arc 1 info will be revealed at a later date with specifications)
  • (4). Should be obvious for most players, but for newcomers, all characters require a CS to be approved. Put your sheet in the OCC and wait for review by me and other Co-GMs (if applicable). Once accepted, put it in the CS.
  • (5). Existing kaiju or humans found in any canon media source (names like Godzilla, Gamera, Dr. Ishiro Serizawa, etc) are barred from be using. They have to be original-based (but can be inspired significantly by them if you so please) - however names of mythological beasts (such as Crimera, Bunyip, Jormangandr, etc) are fair game.
  • (6). Players who drop out "sporadically" from the RP are heavily discouraged. If you want to leave the RP for any particular reason, at least inform me or the Co-GMs of your leave of absence. (If it's an emergency, and/or its a temporal leave, also tell us ASAP and we can accommodate for your absence).
  • (7). My posts for advancing the plot will come within a weekly basis. If the majority of players post by the end of the week, I will proceed to advance it. If not, I will give extra time up to another week to advance (depending on how many need to finish). If you're falling behind and need a boost or more time, the GMs will be happy to help you along.
  • (8). If you have any questions, comments, concerns, and problems, please let the GMs know! We'll be happy to respond to anything you ask.

Re posting question from the last thread:

If it helps the concept, I could have him start out in a dying/weakened state, with his nuclear heart weakened and unable to generate a lot of power.

I also had a concept for him to have a humanoid form, perhaps he begins that way and is eventually able to restore his full dragon form? I think it would fit in with the "last of his kind" narrative I'm shooting for. As a "human" he'd be less nuclear devestation, and more weird space magic. I think it would be funny for something roughly human-sized to go toe to toe with the big monsters.

Up to you.

@Lmpkio I'd prefer a general gauge on your preference for the direction I should take this before I go to the effort of writing an entire CS and get a "Nah, I don't like it" back.

Depowered/regenerating dragon or "mortal form" dragon-man?

@RedVII I'm guessing he's the mech guy you were talking about before? Although like we discussed, that whole mech thing will come later - but as he stands he looks good!

@Sanity43217 We definitely need some pilots and other army men on the battlefield.

Is it possible to shed some more history on the CONDOR - as well as its height? I know I mentioned that mechs are to be limited, but your's could be a cool first step in said direction. I could allow it in this arc, however I'll need some more history on it and how TERRA would come to make it.

Absolutely. This guy will be in for the long haul and I'll be playing him knowing that nugget is a long ways out. At least, that's the plan.

The CONDOR is a fighter craft designed to be versatile in combat. Originally designed with a modular weapon system, that allowed for payloads to be swapped for each mission, this concept was scrapped when TERRA found plans for a series of Construction robots.

While the robots themselves never really got off the ground, it did introduce an interesting idea. What if the ship was made to be more humanoid. With that in mind, several blueprints were created. Miniature models were created and after about two weres of research and development, the first CONDOR was put together.
It was a far cry from what it is today. Larger and bulkier, it resembled more what people expected a mech to look like. A large person with wings. They thought they did well, even if it did look like something out of an anime. What they didn't realize was that their technology was far from what is typically shown in anime. The first CONDOR required three people on board to pilot the thing, and a support compliment of six to keep it running from afar.
With all these people working together, no matter how well they worked together, it was still clunky. A trial run with a contained Kaiju was arranged. Waivers were signed, and it was thought the mech would win easily. This was not the case.
The CONDOR 1 was torn apart in less than a minute the first time it fought a Kaiju. It was a devastating defeat. All three pilots were killed. However, this defeat was necessary for getting CONDOR where it is today.
They stopped looking at it like it was a Mech and started looking at it as a jet.
The arms were kept as it allowed the jet to re-equip the main weapon faster than any modular system available at the time. Plus it was a pretty cool gimmick.
The design was streamlined, and the number of people required for operation was cut down to two pilots on board, and only one remote operator The rest had become automated. The design was still being tweaked, as no one was still happy with it. Simulations were run, and it still wasn't fast enough. You see, up until this point, the CONDOR only had one rocket engine, behind the cockpit. The engineers decided that adding one on each wing and adding an extra set of "Joints" would not only increase speed but agility and overall manoeuvrability as well.
Since then, the only real improvements that had been made were software.

@Sanity43217 This is a prime example of how mechs ought to be at the beginning of Arc 1. They were designed originally for human conflicts, only to be suddenly drafted into kaiju activity.

Will note - this RP does take place right when the Great Awakening happens. So any kaiju it would've combated had to be restrained in an outpost or a rogue beast that happened to wake up "early" and those mechs were the only things utilized. I'll imagine that one of those are the case and so I will be linent with it so as long as you reference how they would be in combat with one during their first trial mission.

But other then that, I see no further issues. Just add that and you should be good to go.
