Once upon a time, I used to cheer for May the 4th... now I cry with disappointment. *Except Clone Wars S7 and the Mandalorian - they are awesome*
My jobs slow season is coming so I'll start to be more available. I just would like a recap of what's happened so I may make an appropriate post.
Essentially what happened is this:
Right now, its a new day and a number of missions have popped up.
One of said missions "Old Friend" is a mission GMed by me - and its happening right now. Titanica had recently encountered another old titan character "Rodie" (Rodan) and is currently in a scuffle with her. Their battle is currently ongoing in the woods and Morgan - along with Dtizy and Freyr (and potentially others) are going to help stop the fight.
I believe Yang and Ozzy are going on a separate mission to acquire an unrelated creature as well.
*I also just realized I first misposted this to the IC - my apologizes*
Btw here's the NPC profile for Rodie. Not finished, may never be anyways, but if any are interested here's some info.
Appearance: At a height of 5'8" (5'6" without heels), Rodie may not be one of the largest of the titans, but is arguably one of the most flashy of them - literally speaking. She physically sports a mellow-warm skin color, with gleaming golden eyes, shark-like teeth, fiery-colored hair and two horns that curve back on her head. Her attire is equally as fiery and flamboyant, as if she wants the entire spotlight to herself. She wears a rather skimpy-esque outfit, sporting a black-and-red crop-top, with a black dress imprinted with a flame design, and two flaming arm capes that connect to her finger-less gloves (which are also imprinted with flames).
Her bestial form stands at twelve feet tall, with a total wingspan of a massive 52 feet from wingtip to wingtip - which is slightly larger than Morgan's 48 meter wingspan.
Name: Rodie | "Radon" | "Rodan"
Race:
Kaiju - ["Kaiju, ('Strange Beast'), is a broad term that represents a category of ancient monsters that can, or have the potential to, transform into massive bestial versions of themselves. These sizes vary depending on the classified kaiju, with some rumored to be able to reach up to the size of mountains. Most of them have, or had, affiliations with the Demon Realm, with many sporting destructive tendencies and total disregard towards the human race. Some have even been rumored to have come from space, hailing from another planet or dimension, however there's so for little to prove of it. However, some have spawned naturally on Earth as a natural, benevolent construct and sought to protect the realm from hostile kaiju threats. While the natural 'mega-fauna' have decreased dramatically over the span of millions of years, most experts speculate that these figures still reside beneath the ground or in the deepest trenches of the oceans just waiting to awaken. And some, they say, might be walking amongst us in their human forms, locking their powers away until they are needed."]
Radon Clan- ["Born from the remains of what was once a massive super-volcano in the far south, the Radon Clan (sometimes classified as the Rodan Clan) had been revered for their naturally destructive tendencies. Their hyper-aggressive nature against any who dare approach their territory had been well documented by those who had survived their furious onslaught, rightfully calling them as "Demons of Fire". These flying titans are all known to transform into a large, bio-volcanic, pterosaur-like creature - with varrying wingspans - that utilize pyrokinesis to a certain degree, depending on the specimen's experience. They can fly at incredible speeds as flaming debris run off the wings of older Radons that fall onto anyone unlucky enough to be under their fight path. Radons are often born with specialized red/reddish-orange scales that are heat-absorbent, allowing them to harness and adapt to the extreme heat of living within a volcano by birth. As they get older and mature, their blood begin to grow hotter and hotter until its essentially burning lava. To keep it from completely melting the kin off the individual, they would have a thin layer of specialized geothermic cells that act as a barrier - forming a thin endothermic shell underneath their skin.]
Magic/Abilities/Equipment:
Pyrokinesis: Like all Radons, Rodie is capable of conjuring up pyrokinesis in both forms. As a human, she can launch fireballs or streams of fire from her hands and mouth. Bestial form limits this to her mouth, but the beam is more powerful.
Geothermic Shield: In her human form, Rodie's arm flaps can harden into surprisingly thick geothermic rock that do well in absorbing large quantities of heat. While durable, it doesn't prevent the use from being pushed back accordingly depending on the blast.
Flight: Rodie is capable of flight both in her human and titan forms, being an incredibly good flier at that. As a human, she can transform only her arms into pterosaur-esque wings, allowing her to fly but looke the ability to grip onto things with her hands. She can fly incredibly fast in both forms, however Rodie claims that her bestial form can fly up to supersonic speeds, enough to utilize sonic thunder claps.
Gale Winds: Flapping her wings in her bestal form, Rodie can issue strong gale-force winds to immobilize opponents and have them lose their balance.
Agility: While strength is not her mainstay, she utilizes speed and agility to overwhelm and outmaneuver her opponent with a fury of attacks. She is most notable in dive-bombing her opponents, often as a means to start off or finish the battle quickly.
Fire/Heat-Resistance: Being an entity made literally of molten ichor, Rodie can easily survive, if not thrive, in extremely heated environments. She's even known to shrug off the intense heat from Titanica's atomic blast (but not its explosive capabilities) or at the very least minimalize the damage significantly .
Personality: TBA (Bold and Brash - and belongs in the trash.)
I can only try to talk things down. Rodan is kinda cute though.
He can still help lol - maybe even have his own thoughts on the matter with his "knowledge" lol
I had to pick between two Rodan designs - with one being the same artist who did Titanica and (Sorta) Morgan, however she felt a little too innocent so I picked the one you guys see here.
Upon the aftermath with the cold-blooded Nagare and the fiery Varā, Titanica entered the guild hall and plopped herself upon the living room couch belly-down. When she awoke, she could hear the bustling activity coming around her. Being only half-awake, the noises were muffled and sounded far away, which made it hard to note what was going on. Suddenly, she could feel a rapid force shaking her upper-body by the only being here that was brave enough to wake her directly.
"Morning Titanica!" Morgan's squeaky voice pierced through the commotion, "Come get up, we got work to do!"
The titan groaned as she struggled to lift her eyelids open. It was as if she was pitted against two insanely large boulders that were trying to close her eyes shit. However, she was soon able to muster up the strength and slowly rise from her make-shift bed. She slowly turned her head to her fellow moth-woman friend with a drowsy look.
"Ugh..." Titanica growled before issuing a massive yawn, "What is it? Can you give me a bit to wake up?"
Morgan nodded understandingly. "Would you like me to make some tea? I'm currently making a second batch to serve for the others."
"That..." the scaled titan paused before confirming, "Would be nice. Thank you."
The mothgirl warmly smiled as she proceeded to enter the kitchen. "Coming right up!"
With that Titanica finally planted her feet onto the creaky floorboards and rose to listen in on the surrounding conversations. The only one that stood out to her was Bart's announcement regarding that a repair crew would come today to fix the hole that the titan created and that he had to stay and oversee them. At least they will be getting that sorted out now - the sooner the better. And for everyone else, it would be a more relaxing day for the members to enjoy themselves
But to start her day, she might as well find a place to wash herself. She hadn't bathed for a few good days and was starting to feel rather clammy. She knew of a lake not far from the guild and ought to issue a quick bathe before doing whatever she might want to do. Still, it would be best to alert Morgan to this. The tea will have to wait. She slightly turned her head back and alerted the fellow mothgirl.
"Save some tea for me, Morgan." Titanica called out, "I'll be washing up. Be back soon."
With that, the saurian titan proceeded to exit the guild hall and step out into the bright and warm sun. The sun's warm rays were absorbed into her jagged dorsal fins, slowly warming her body to a nice and pleasant temperature. Her spines can easily acquire solar energy the same way as how she gains her mana, only the former is more based on physical energy rather then replenishing her magical arsenal. They can regulate how much heat she can hold in, as well as when to cool her body down, much like certain ancient species of Saurians. But unlike them, Titanica doesn't rely on it, as it acted more of an additional convenience rather than a necessary attribute to survival. Her mana can help with warming her up in cold conditions, like during yesterday's trek into the frigid peaks of mountains.
As Titanica casually walked towards the main road, she would be quick to notice a disturbance in the air. She stopped suddenly, peaking her nose into the sky and proceeded to sniff the air. It was unusually dry, coupled with a slight temperature increase to the surrounding area. For most people, they may hardly notice the change or brush it off as a light heatwave, but for Titanica, she could pick up something else within it. She took another few sniffs to confirm her suspicions, looking around carefully as she did so.
Her eyes would soon detect various tiny dark-grey particles floating in the air past her. She looked at them closely as she caught some in her hand. It was ash... but not simply any ash, but rather ash usually found in and around active volcanoes. She could even catch traces of fresh ember passing by, still smoldering slightly. The titan was intrigued by this unusual phenomenon. As far as she knew, there weren't any volcanoes near here, and even if there were, word would've perhaps traveled quickly about the warning of a volcanic eruption. There was only one other thing that could've issued this.
It became clear to Titanica that someone, or something, was in the nearby vicinity.
And whatever it was, it was airborne.
And whatever was lurking around, it must be emitting an intense amount of heat from its body. The titan peaked her head upwards and scoured the airspace above, however she couldn't see any trails leading to the culprit. It must've either went by while she wasn't looking... or perhaps it was on its way. Titanica realized that it could prove to be yet another potential detriment to the guild hall's structure as she turned to face the entry way.
"Stay alert." she boomed cautiously towards the guild members, "We're about to have~"
*THUMP*
And out of completely nowhere, Titanica was met with a powerful direct force thrusted upon the back of her head.
The mighty titan's head lurched forward, causing her to fall face first into the cobblestone path hard. It felt as if something had dropped kicked the back of her head at full force. And - to the bystanders who had witnessed this all go down - that's essentially what happened. A winged woman clothed in fiery colors swooped down and used her heels to smash into the saurian's neck in what could only be seen as a diving attack before using the momentum to propel herself back into the sky.
As the saurian titan rose from the earth, she was quick to rise and look for the opponent in question. She can hear a crying of laughter emitting from above, underlined with a rough and coarse voice that she knew all too well. And upon seeing the crimson figure flying in the sky, Titanica instantly recognized the culprit.
"BAWHAHAHAAA!" the winged woman cawed as she lets out a deep bird-like screech, "Bet ya didn' see that comin' did ya?!"
An embarrassed facepalm formed as Titanica emitted an annoyed groan. "Ugh, not this bitch again..." she thought to herself.
"What the hell do you want Rodie?" the saurian titan boringly called out, seemingly not threatened by the rival titan that was circling above her like a vulture to a carcass of rotting meat.
Rodie would then land on the ground, flapping her wings to stop her descent and smiled devilishly at Titanica.
"You know wha' I want, Titanica-san!" Rodie replied with a challenging vigor, "It's been far, FAR, too long since our last confrontation! Thought I was not eva' gonna see you again! But fair not! I've grown stronger since our last fight and I'm gonna kick your ass this time!"
She initiated a fighting pose, extending her right arm out like a kung-fu warrior, beckoning the definitely taller titan (7'4" vs 5'8") to do battle. And yet, her opponent didn't seem nearly as interested as the flyer may have thought.
"Really?" Titanica inquired in a painfully bored and monotone voice, "You're wasting your time. Get lost."
Rodie's confused expression became more annoyed by the titan's seemingly odd unwillingness to do battle.
"W-Wha?! Es'cuse-eh me?" Rodie stammered awkwardly, "Waddya mean you're not interested?! Have ya been growin' soft or sumthin~?"
Suddenly she would find herself being casually pushed to the side as Titanica brushed her away and kept on walking forward.
"Not interested." the saurian stated as she continued walking.
Rodie's expression became blank with utter confusion at her rival's uncharacteristically behavior. What's gotten into her? She stammered in place before she turned absolutely steaming mad and began jumping up and down in absolute anger.
"YOU SOFT-SPINED BITCH!" the fiery woman exploded into a fury of insults, "HOW DARE YOU DECLINE MY OFFER! WHAT'S GOTTEN INTO YOUR SCALY ASS YOU COWARDLY FREAK! ARE YOU SUM KINDA PACIFIST OR SUMTHIN'?! HOW LAME! HOW SHAMELESS!!!"
But all that Titanica did was simply keep on walking, ignoring the flurry of insults that just bounced off her thick hide. Her rival simply didn't know what to do with herself in this situation. For a minute, it would seem as if a confrontation had been avoided - a first perhaps.
But as Rodie's frustration rose to her limit, her senses were able to pick up an interesting scent emanating from her rival. A particular, undeniable, scent that had been discussed about before in a certain separate conversation. Rodie's frown instantly turned into a mischievous smile, revealing a row of sharp teeth. She briefly giggled to herself before regaining her cocky composure.
"Ohhhhhhh, I see how it is." she called out slyfully, "I see ya, I see ya. You're not gonna fight because of that one night, huh? But I thought the great and mighty Titanica was forbidden to fuck anything for pleasure!"
That ought to get her attention...
And well... it worked. But perhaps a bit too well... and for all the worst reasons.
Titanica's march ceased the very moment Rodie finished, as her entire body stiffened up.
"That BITCH." the saurian growled lowly as her gleaming-white jaws steamed blue smoke from the spaces in between her teeth.
Pure rage flew through her veins as she began to shake violently in place. But she wasn't angry about the fact that Rodie knew - as proven with Nagare yesterday - rather it was due to the sheer audacity of that cocky shit-stained flyer actually revealing it in front of the other guild members who were just several meters away! Then again, for an annoying character belonging to her, it shouldn't be that surprising. A guttural growl emerged from the tall woman's mouth, with her spines rapidly discharging flashes of blue plasma, as her murderous gaze grimaced upon the unfortunate demon's own.
Rodie's cock-sure look was soon replaced with a fearful gaze. She's gotten what she wanted, but now she's already gaining second chances about all this. Nervous bird-like laughter chuckled from her sharp lips as she tried to remain brave in the face of her larger opponent, who was now approaching her with hatred in her eyes.
"A-Ahh hey now," the cowardly flyer said with a begging tone, "I-I'm sure it's OK for all this now right? I mean... yer entire clan is gone, and you're alone... so uh, I guessa ya do what eva' you want r-right? Free country, amirite?"
It didn't help. Titanica's dorsal fins would begin to fully light up as it started charging from the tip of her tail and slowly made its way up her back. And with a momentous roar, her mouth opened as she released her atomic beam at her opponent.
Already realizing her next move, Rodie wisely was able to lift herself into the air before Titanica could have a chance incinerate her. The saurian's beam ripped through the ground underneath the flying titan, with her being careful not to accidentally damage the guild hall again, just barely missing both. Rodie rose into the air and proceeded to pounce onto her target's back to avoid the superheated beam by the front and began to choke her while rapidly bonking her on the head with surprising force. Titanica struggled to get the pest off her, bucking and swiping like an angry bull to a cowboy, before backing up into a tree and forcing her off.
The two titans continued to fight one another, while yelling, roaring, and screaming ensured for another long thirty seconds. Eventually, the crimson demon began to fly further into the woods, gawking wildly as she seemed to head to higher ground. However, Titanica wasn't going to let her off easy, not after the stunt she just pulled.
"GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE PIGEON-BRAINED SHIT!" the Gojira roared defiantly as she chased after Rodie and disappeared into the undergrowth.
The guild members could still hear the faint sounds of angry calls and screeches emitting from beyond, yet could only guess as what could happen next. Thankfully, this attracted the attention of Morgan, who had just finished making the tea and heard the commotion, as she proceeded to walk over to the scene. Whilst a little late to the scene, she placed her hand to her mouth and shook her head.
"Oh dear!" Morgan breathed out worringly, "I wasn't expecting another titan to show up - especially being someone like her. This is really bad! If we don't break them up soon, who knows for how long they'd be fighting - and all of the destruction they'll cause with it!"
The mothgirl's wings extended to their full size as she proceeded to enter the woodlands.
"I'm going after them!" Morgan cried as she followed Titanica's tracks of destruction.
Even for a lone titan of Morgan's status, it was a risky choice for her to go alone amiss two fighting kaiju. Perhaps a few should make sure she doesn't get hurt, or perhaps be an additional mediator in calming Titanica and Rodie down.
The solemn titan remained silent as Nagare revealed her own past memories, her anger and shame rapidly depleting the longer she kept calm. It appeared that the ice dragon too had long been apart of her own clan, being in one that strictly forbade in their members interacting with humans - save for males being used solely for procreation. However, Titanica and her clan wouldn't have had to worry about humans back then. For when she was in her clan those thousands of years ago, humanity was not yet the expanding race that they were today. Still, the act of having sex merely as a survival tool rather then simple pleasure was burned into their genetic code.
And the mere fact of procreating with another species of kaiju in any capacity was a heretical sentence for ruination.
Titanica could notice a chilling tear or two run down the ice dragon's cheek, as she saw how she tried to fight back whatever memories haunted her past life. The titan's cold-hearted gaze remained externally unfazed, but she could feel her own internal grievances sympathetically intermingling with Nagare's own. While her experiences weren't quite like the ice dragon's, let alone knowing the full extent of her past life, there were several highlights that rubbed eerily close to what could've been. And it wasn't just those from the topic at hand, rather out came a volley of thoughts over the course of her entire lifetime. Many tragedies laid upon her battered hide and many guilts drilled themselves into her bones.
The titan had seen loved ones, friends and kin alike, die violently and peacefully - or banished from society for their failure to obey the rules and regulations. From them, she has bored scars from the outcomes of many situations, molding her into the beast she has become. It was not the thoughts of a cold-blooded killer, but rather the impulses of a battered, tragic figure who had witnessed far too much. And to hear a figure of similar circumstances come out with her story, she couldn't help but to feel some sympathy for the poor ice dragon.
But despite Nagare understanding the lone titan, she opposed the seemingly antagonistic methods Titanica was utilizing to keep it a secret.
"Would you kill everyone else at the guild if they found out, even Morgan-san? Of course you'd want to keep it a secret, but I will not allow anyone to be 'silenced' as you refer to it."
Still the lumbering giant remained still, her eyes still locked onto Nagare's ever-so coldly. Obviously she would think twice in razing any heresy that her close friends may dare oppose her with, but for someone as new as Vară - a person she'd only just a few days ago... that stance alone makes her much more at risk in unleashing the Titan's wrath.
Varā registered her concerns about the matter and volunteered to leave so that Titanica wouldn't have to worry, however Nagare objected, stating how she didn't want to see the family break up and act ill to one another. The titan's expression rose briefly at the frost dragon's statement. 'Family'? She grouped everyone here as a 'familly'? A pack of strangers she barely knew for only a couple of days to be considered as such? Obviously she knew the expression Nagare was making, but still it was odd for someone to get reasonably comfortable so early on.
Another brief flashback found Titanica within the midst of her tribe - amist of various different species, shapes, and sizes of others of her kind - alongside her mother and father. She thought of the good times they had, followed by the various hardships they undertook together, all the way up to their untimely demise. The titan's solemn face softened more-so, as she silently reminisced about her own family. While this guild may not be her actual family or clan, there were others that had experienced similar things to her - with a few even living as long or long enough compared to her ancient lineage. She continued to remain silent before the frost dragon made her final offer.
"My offer still stands, what do you say, Titanica-san?"
The titan's head slowly reared up to look at Nagare once more, but it took Titanica a second before she could give a final response.
"Very well," Titanica grunted softly, "But only if you both keep to the agreement. If I hear that one of you broke the pact, you will expect consequences to follow suit, one way or another."
With that said, Titanica proceeded to turn around and head back to the guildhall - her charged anger having subsided for the time being. Today, she had granted her opposers mercy. Today, she let her trustworthiness of the situation in their hands. It was now up to Nagare and Varā to keep both the grand titan and themselves in check. The first of many tests had arisen in light of the titan's introduction.
