At last, I bring you... The Maulwurf!... I'll worry about cleaning things up and tweaking any issues when I'm fresh in the morning, every day's been a tiring day this past week, and I wanted to go ahead and get it posted. TxT

... also, I likely have a second one in the works that I also want to get posted before I focus on refinements.



Edit: Speaking of that other one.
I understand if it doesn't fit the ARC 1 theme and needs tweaking or 'delaying' until a later arc. XD

Is there anything I need to change to make things acceptable? aside from actually filling out some history info of course.
I unfortunately woke up to being stuck with a job for a few hours, but once I'm free today I'm going to be doing that anyway, and figured I should see if there's any other problems I need to fix while I'm at it.

I'll hopefully get to work on my opening post later tonight.

@Lmpkio I've been meaning to ask this: does the kaiju genre exist in this universe? Or did it never happen (like George Romero movies didn't exist in TWD universe)?

@Shoryu

Hey Shoryu! So, as for your characters, I was going to wait until we got the history to add my input but I'm not sure when that'll come in so I'll just tell you what I'm seeing now.

As far as Grinder goes, I really like the concept but there a just a few issues.
  • He's very large, 140 meters when not hunched over is a bit much. 100 meters when standing straight would be more appropriate.
  • Mineral Shaping is fine as far as when the crystals are on his body, however flinging them through the air and shaping them seems pretty unrealistic. If he could just shape them on his body to become sharp armor that may make more sense.
  • If you're still looking for a long range attack, you could extend the range of the beam he has. Also, an explanation on how he varies the beam's power could be a great addition.


Other than those qualms, Grinder seems fine by me!

As far as Gaia is concerned, I only have one small issue:
  • So, for the shaping of its body, making a shield or blade out of the metal coating doesn't make as much sense as the other attributes you included for the shaping. Making spikes form all over its frame, or upping the durability of the parts it uses to stomp/beat the other kaijus could be a good alternative.


That's all I've got to add!

-Large was my idea for him XD and I saw something that said the upper limit was around 150 or so, and in terms of over-all mass there's a couple other monsters around here that are much bigger despite being technically shorter, or at least one I saw, since he's 'mostly' vertical with less length involved, though I 'could' still knock some off.
-I can remove the 'disconnected' shaping, sure, and restrict it to 'connected' shaping or 'only while in contact' at least. ^.^
-If removing ranged mineral shaping is involved, I could easily increase the range of the beam, And I was trying to expand the explanation compared to what i originally had, but I can go a little farther, sure.

-that's a good suggestion actually, I'll give that one a roll ^.^

Edit: Changes made! I can tweak the height too if that's still an issue after my explanation

Also, unfortunately, I also don't know when I'll manage the histories... I may have to settle for leaving them 'mysterious' until I can work up the mind-set for backstory... I can do 'here and now' easy enough right now, but with frequently being interupted to help with hospice care in the house, It's hard to maintain a mood for actual 'backstory' planning for them TxT

I agree with what is said here.

For a mole kaiju of his stature, I also feel like he should be smaller.
And I also agree with the mineral shaping and long range attacks.

I'm also VERY curious as to what his "One Secret Crippling weakness" is. You might wanna run it by us GMs just to be sure it'll be fair.

For Gaia...

I'm just going to say this right now but... I'm not a fan of the MLP design of the character. It wouldn't fit with the grittiness of this RP - one based off the Monsterverse and other classic kaiju series. I strongly advice in changing his design just so it can fit with the RP. Unless you want to heavily specify that the pic above doesn't necessarily represent the cartoonish design.

Other then that, Gaia seems fine for now. However this character would be better fit for a future arc. Might wanna keep it in storage in the mean time.

Awwww, I can down his height some >n> I just liked the 'big lumbering' theme to it, and thought it fit his image XD Honestly, considering the sheer 'mass' of some monsters that are at a lower height, his body design needed the extra height to stand up in strength XD though I guess I could just lower his height and make him a bit more agile than I'd been planning for his previous size.

The rest I already changed XD And I can mention that 'one big weakness' in PM I guess, though it's ironically both obvious and an uncommon thing to consider at the same time, at least I think so ;3

I didn't think it was particularly 'mlp designed' xD just less 'monstery' in theme... I actually thought it kindof fit a japanese artistic style somewhat, at least compared to some I've seen before. Although! Even if it is MLP-like, I'd treat it like I treat MLP stuff, 'artistic license' and when applied to a setting with more realistic appearances, apply some imagination to it for what it could 'actually' look like... In this sense, the image is more a general shape for it, it might not be as 'frightful' in appearance as other monsters, but it 'is' still a looming creature with a habit of being onfire... Given it's malleable body, it could also follow a theme of being less 'intimidating' normally, but then tweaking things to be more monstrous when a fight breaks out...

... I also had an exorbitant ammount of trouble finding a quadrupedal image of what I was thinking about that wasn't either obscenely fugly, unfitting for the idea I had, or 'too' elemental for Arc 1 by a much farther margin.

although bluh... I even tried toning him down for Arc 1 levels XD you should've seen what I had for his previous incarnation XD I just really liked his concept and wanted to find some way to run with it while it was 'fresh'. @x@

APPEARANCE, PERSONALITY, & ABILITIES

Bearing a resemblance to a crustacean, Scordoru was considered one of the smallest monsters in the world. Yet, it was still a threat if it ever escaped with its thick claws. According to researchers and experts, those claws were capable of crushing over 50,000 pounds per square inch. It also possesses a high crest above a large, symmetrical head that can withstand close range attacks and explosives. And there were toxic spiked barbs lining its plating giving him some sort of protection against its predators. The same researchers also noted that Scordoru might have been hostile to humans; however, they never found the reason behind its behavior.

WEAKNESSES

Scordoru's neck, underbelly, and ligaments were unprotected by its tough plating. And of course, it was smaller and weaker than the other monsters. Humanity was expected to be defenseless and valuable to the creature; however, a bigger and stronger monster was expected to win. But, Scordoru wasn't going to give up without a fight.

HISTORY

Based on Terra's findings and years of studying, Scordoru originated from East Asia before moving west towards the Americas. It spent years moving around across the ocean until it stopped moving near North America. None of the researchers knew why it suddenly stopped moving and decided to rest. Some theorized that it actually passed out due to exhaustion while others said something else beaten Scordoru in close combat. Regardless, Terra built Outpost 20 to contain the creature in the hopes that it never escaped.

APPEARANCE, PERSONALITY, & ABILITIES

Cinros looked like a huge sea monster with its long tail and its slender legs. The legs ended in multi-fingered hands which were recently discovered to bend backward. Its skin was a light gray with dark speckles across its body. There were two esophagi that extended from the monster's lower chest and ended in tooth-like projections. And its head had two eyes with massive pupils and a pair of membranous sacks on the sides that inflated and receded back. Despite its appearance, Cinros was thought to be durable to conventional weaponry and possibly other monsters. Studies found that its tail was strong enough to destroy 50,000 pounds per square inch and capable of destroying the nearby populated areas. Researchers believed that Cinros was aggressive to everything.

WEAKNESSES

However, it was possible that it could start running away if it was heavily pressured. With enough airstrikes, it was expected that Cinros will try to escape. That was when someone or something could deliver a killing blow to it. Yet, experts estimated that Cinros was able to destroy the entire Los Angeles County with ease. And its aggressive behavior meant that other monsters were its target. That type of behavior was going to bring it trouble since Cinros didn't understand the concept of an alliance.

HISTORY

Based on Terra's findings and years of studying, Cinros originated from the Pacific Ocean before heading towards land. It eventually found present-day California and made Mt. San Antonio it's home. Researchers believed that it was a mother and had several children; but, Cinros was the only one inside that mountain. The current theory was that it lost its children centuries ago because of unknown reasons. And as a result, Cinros went back to her home and began coping by entering habilitation. Recently, Terra was worried that Cinros was started to wake up for its slumber. They went ahead and warn Outpost Eleven of its possible awakening; but, none of the crew took the message seriously.

@Star Lord As discussed, these two kaiju are visually very similar to their respected inspirations - one being more so than the other. However, given that at least one is technically gonna be a throwaway, I could let them fly as neat little visual cameos to other sources of media. Even if that won't be the case, it still wouldn't matter much - but these will be the only exceptions. So on that note, both are accepted.
