EARTH VS. THE GIANT MONSTERS




In one bad day for the human race, they came. They emerged from the ocean depths, descended from the skies above, broke out of Arctic ice, escaped from secret laboratories, clawed out of the very Earth itself. They had many names: kaiju, behemoths, giant monsters, colossi, mecha, titans, and so on and so forth. All they had in common was their tremendous size and strength, with some exhibiting even stranger powers. In a few hours, entire cities were leveled and armies routed, with nothing seeming to even slow down their rampages.

Governments convened in emergency meetings as civilians held their families close and gathered in places of worship. Ordinary people caught in the paths of kaiju struggled to survive; while soldiers, sailors, and airmen fought heroic but doomed battles. Scientists and journalists tried to learn the secrets of the creatures. It was clear that this was a battle to the death. Only humans or giant monsters would remain when the smoke cleared- it was unlikely to be both.



Welcome to Earth vs. The Giant Monsters. As you may have gathered, you will be playing both sides of a sudden and apocalyptic invasion of giant monsters, humans and kaiju. Not only will you be a city-destroying titan along the lines of Godzilla or King Kong, but also a human being somehow connected to it. Maybe you're a general trying to a fight it, a scientist studying it, a reporter covering it, an unscrupulous person trying to profit from the destruction, or simply an ordinary person trying not to be squashed.

This is an RP that encourages player direction and collaboration. Create and explore your own storylines and goals. Destroy cities, meet with one another to fight or team up. On the human end of things, let us know what it's like to live in this new and terrifying world. Go in all sorts of directions, be creative, go nuts.

Accordingly, I'm going to be pretty easygoing as a GM. I only ask that you respect one another and post often to keep this alive.

Please post characters in the OOC for approval, only put them on the CS page once given the green light by the GM.

Hello, heres my monster WIP

I want to try something kind of metaphysical. Kind of cosmic horror, kind of plays on religious beliefs. An angelic being that wants to indoctrinate all of humanity into a cult that worships it, but whose nature in itself is controlled by its worshippers. A living god in all but name.

Wip because I need to stop procrastinating on working on something else. I also had a hard time deciding between a giant hydra and giant Cerberus, but then I realized a hydra would but me a head of the game.

I may make a human character revolving around it, but alas here is my first kaiju! I plan to make more kaiju in the future as well.

We've somehow managed to come up with fairly similar ideas.

I'll post my WIP later but I may end up changing my idea now.

@King Cosmos

I think its very different which is great ^^. Your idea is a fully established angelic being. Mine is a horrible parody representation of what an angelic being would be based upon the collective consciousness of the entire world.

My kaiju will be more love-craftian in design. More of the horrors and hypocrisy that can stem from belief in a higher power. Something only faintly recognizable but beyond true understanding.

My monster is more designed against mortals than other monsters.

Im personally just wondering if that kind of metaphysical other world nonsense would work for this setting.

Mine’s just a classic force of nature inspired by classic kaiju movies and the recent Monsterverse series. :P Again I may make one more just for the heck of it.

Since there's only a few of us I wouldn't mind the idea of people making a few "fodder" Kaiju so that our characters, both Kaiju and human, have something to fight and win against, while also making the Kaiju epidemic feel a bit bigger.

Okay, I've had a chance to look over the WIP sheets. I'm liking what I see so far, a ton of creativity here and I'm looking forward to seeing them when they're finished and also any human characters we'll be seeing. Let me just address a couple things.

@Lmpkio Your sheet looks great and I'm very excited about Apollyon! Just one thing I should have been more clear about, we're starting on pretty much Day One of the kaiju apocalypse. Having everyone know about this creature for 25 years and a number of prepared bunkers diminishes the impact of the other monsters showing up. Unless it's a deal where governments knew about it and kept it secret, which I am totally on board with.

@King Cosmos I was playing with a couple ideas like that. I was thinking there might be a "second wave" of kaiju after a little in-game time has passed, giving everyone a chance to unleash another monster, and maybe some other off camera attacks going on. In the zeroth post I'll be keeping a tab of active kaiju and cities under attack, I might throw in a few extras to keep it interesting.

Keep up the great work, everyone!

That's fine - I do believe the UN would know about this situation and assemble a secret organization in studying these organisms (basically "Monarch" from the Monsterverse Series). I do plan to basically make my own version of this.

Yeah, uncovering just how much the powers that be knew about monsters before K Day could be a good human plotline.

Can I be a single dad who’s daughter is half titan?

Like he’s kept, not only the titans that live in the ocean secret, but also his three metres tall 7 year old daughter. This of course raises a lot of uncomfortable questions which I’d love to delve into.

My character’s purpose in the story could be just conflict or maybe a potential love interest (I’m willing to go down that road even if I still haven’t decided if he’s fucked a titan or not). Maybe the kid is the reason the titans are coming in the first place? Maybe there’ll be a titan bat mitzvah.

I’m asking. Can I?

You can go ahead and post yours in the CS tab. Looks like everyone else is a work in progress so far, so just keep me updated.

This is definitely a very unusual and creative idea, I'd have to see how you execute it. I'm not one to shoot down anything out of hand, so go ahead and submit a CS.
