The Seraph

Name: The Seraph

Appearance:


Size:
Main Body - 40 feet
Wingspan - 140 feet

It Came From: Appeared in the sky above the Colosseum in Rome, descending from above the cloud cover.

Abilities:
* High speed, high altitude flight. This ability to fly does not seem to rely on her wings for lift or propulsion, but is instead a kind of levitation.
* Wings have surprisingly high durability, especially compared to her main body.
* "Voice of Heaven" - Whether a sound based method of attack or simply a means of communication gone wrong, the Seraph's "Voice" is loud enough that it is accompanied by a massive concussive force strong enough to shatter concrete.
* "Swords of Uriel" - An unambiguously offensive ability, the Seraph is able to conjure into being great flaming objects that resemble swords and control their movement for defense or offense. Swords are of varying size and number, though generally they are either small and many in number or larger but fewer in number.
* Regenerative state - Upon sustaining a certain amount of damage the Seraph has been observed to retreat above the cloud layer, at an altitude that most combat aircraft cannot reach, and wraps herself within her wings and goes dormant. During this time the Seraph has been seen to rapidly heal from any injuries, including regrowing lost wings or appendages.
* Telepathic communication - It has been reported that the Seraph may be capable of telepathic communication with certain individuals. Whether these individuals are specifically chosen for this communication or if there is something special about them that allows them to hear this communication while others can't has yet to be determined.

Weaknesses: Despite her wingspan the Seraph's main body is smaller than most other Kaiju sighted so far and appears to be physically frailer as a result. Simply put, her body is not suited to close-range combat; her wings do not carry enough strength to be used offensively and her main body is too small and has too short of a reach to pose a threat.

She relies entirely on her others abilities for combat, so should these somehow be rendered unusable she will be helpless.

History: During her first sighted above Rome, the Seraph initial appeared to be benign; no aggressive actions were made and the Kaiju simply hovered above the city for several hours without moving. This lack of aggression combined with her angelic appearance led many to speculate on the potential divine nature of the Kaiju and despite attempts to cordon off the area thousands of civilians flocked to fill the streets around the Colosseum to witness the Seraph.

Exactly four hours after her first appearance the Seraph made her first move, spreading her arms wide as if to embrace someone and lowered her head to face the crowd on onlookers. She opened her mouth and spoke.

Casualties included the death of every living person within 300 feet of the Colosseum as well as dozens of people struck by debris, some as far as half a mile away; injuries numbered in the hundreds, all outside of the destruction zone, including a number of incidents of hearing loss. Autopsies report that victims died of severe, full body trauma including but not limited to the fracturing of all bones and the liquefaction of all soft tissues inside the body.

Property damage included the complete destruction of the Colosseum, severe damage to all buildings within the destruction zone and dozens more buildings outside this zone being struck by debris launched from the Colosseum.

The Seraph immediately left after this incident, rising up above the cloud layer and disappearing from all aviation radars soon after.

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.

@ShwiggityShwah

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.

I, the Demon King, Will Summon My Own Damned Heroes!

“This was where I left the others; I guess they’ve moved on already.” It wasn’t like he had expected any different, since he’d watched them begin moving towards the exit even before he’d left to find the others, but he still felt the need to say something to break the silence that the group had been under since leaving the cave behind. “We’ll keep heading towards the wall, like I said, then follow it to the exit. We should avoid running into the other Goblin’s like that.”

Turning around to see whether the rest of the group, Digbie, Rain and Ed, were ok with that plan of action, Oberon was distracted when he heard the splashing of water coming from the pool. Looking in that direction he couldn’t see anything untoward, perhaps just one of those fish he had seen earlier breaching the surface? No noises followed in the few seconds he was waiting, nor could he see anything by the shore, so whatever it was probably wasn’t a threat.

However, as he was looking out across the water he could see something in the distance beyond the pool. An eerie, green light could be seen shining from that direction. The only creatures in the cave who gave out light were the Wisps, but none of the Wisps he had seen had this kind of sickly tint to them; was it another undead variant of an existing creature, like the skeletal Goblin he had killed?

Rising up using his flight to get a better angle, Oberon peered in that direction, squinting and trying to see as far as he could. If he could see the creature in question, even a little, he would attempt to use both Monster and Magic analysis on them.

“We should keep moving. Digbie, can you take the lead? I’ll stay at the back and keep an eye on whatever that light is.”

Used "Magic Analysis III" on green light if creature is visible
Used "Monster Analysis I" on green light if creature is visible

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.

@Polyphemus

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

Earth vs. The Giant Monsters

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.

Earth vs. The Giant Monsters

@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.

DBZ: The Sagas of The Z Warrior

@Weird Tales I'm kind of waiting on the next Raditz post to decide what to do next, but if you're busy then I'll get a post up this weekend.

Digimon: Digital Monsters- V3 (Redux)

@tobiax yeah it's basically an otaku culture in-joke that spread to the wider community, to the point that it's an actual term used in fashion for that style. The area of exposed thigh is the "holy area that shall not be intruded upon"; such a weird origin for a fairly well known phrase.

Digimon: Digital Monsters- V3 (Redux)

AT field you say? Now isn't that interesting. I didn't know that about it. (Actually makes Evangelion more thematically consistent if that's the case, but kind of ruins the surprise.)

@tobiax

I think the exact translation for AT Field is something like "holy area which cannot be intruded upon", which is where the term Zettai Ryoiki came from which is kind of hilarious to me.

I could try to explain what the AT Field is exactly, from my understanding, unless that would be a spoiler for you?

Fate/esoterica

Most of the journey was conducted in silence, Rider taking the time to mentally compose himself for the battle to come. At the same time, however, he couldn’t help but marvel at the vehicle his Master was driving; civilization had surely come a long way from the days of riding horses and elephants, he would need to try out some of this era’s machines for himself before this war was over. As a Rider he had to skills to push them to the limits of what they were capable of.

As they approached their destination his Master began to inform him of their enemy’s position; Rider listened to the information carefully before turning to face the Magus in the driver’s seat. “Perhaps this young girl does not possess the means to detect your familiar, but we should not assume the same is true of Assassin; we should avoid assuming anything at all. Underestimating your opponent is a dangerous folly, but overestimating them can be just as disastrous; given out lack of information however, it is perhaps best that we err on the side of caution.” Glancing towards the steering wheel Rider spotted the way his Master’s hands were tensed around the object, but mistook it for nervousness rather than excitement. “You seem tense Master. There is no need; despite my earlier words I do believe we can win this war, even if our opponents are stronger, so long as my strategy is superior to theirs.”

Opening the door to the car Rider stepped out and onto the street. At this time of night the area was empty, so no passers-by saw the strange spectacle that was a fully armoured Carthaginian stepping out of a vehicle in modern day Redrock. Placing a hand on top of the car Rider leant down and looked back into the car. “I will engage Assassin directly; if possible I will kill her or her Master, but if I am not able to I will retreat. If any other Servants approach our fight I will retreat. I will not come back to the car if that is the case, lest I lead them to you; watch my fight with your familiar and leave if I do. I will find you later.”

Closing the door Rider stepped away from the car and looked to the familiar that his Master had said would lead him to Assassin’s location. “Lead the way.” The reanimated bird took flight and Rider followed it with haste, the familiar leading him into the park and towards the bench that Assassin and her Master were sitting on. As soon as the pair were in sight Rider stopped, certain that they were indeed the pair he was looking for by the way the familiar continued towards them and perched itself on a tree above their heads.

Taking deep, calming breaths Rider simply observed them in silence for the moment. The girl was young indeed, still wearing what he recognised as a school uniform from his knowledge of this era, though he couldn’t help but notice the sword at her waist. The woman sitting next to her in the brightly coloured robe must then be Assassin. Neither seemed to have noticed his presence yet, which was unusual, so he stepped out from the trees and onto the main path some fifty feet from their location.

He began to walk in their direction, a round shield of bronze and a scimitar appearing in his hands as he did so. A direct approach was perhaps unexpected coming from one renowned as a master strategist, but given his lack of resources and his opponent it was for the best. He did not have an army to flank their position, or to organise into an ambush. He did not have the ability to sneakily approach even a Berserker, let alone one summoned into the Assassin-class. If he had one advantage in this it would be his superior martial prowess in a straight forward duel and even that was something he couldn’t be certain of until he saw this hero in action.

This was, perhaps, the most irrational plan of battle he had ever come up with in all his years as a military leader. “I must be growing foolish with time.” He mused as he approached his opponent. For all he knew his opponent could be stronger than he in battle or they could possess some Noble Phantasm that would foil him. If that was the case he would have only his strength and his wits to rely on; thankfully, his wits were quite good and he was capable of bringing to bear and absurd amount of power if needs must.

He stopped again thirty feet from them and called out his challenge. “Assassin! I, Rider, challenge you!”
