Iluin: Continent of monsters

So this is a story I wrote a long time ago and thought it would be entertaining to make it as an RP so lets see who I can get to go along with this, keep in mind that the plot below talks like its part of a bigger world because it is but for this RP I'm only going to focus on this one aspect of that world.

---

There are continents on the planet Cresea that have been vastly settled on by sentient creatures such as Traylor, Zayler while others like Heldruma have given birth to a cluster of sentient life in the form of the Su, Euclian, Daria, even the Tartarians show signs of cognitive thought process, this is a prime example of evolution or nature taking a swing at something different. However, there are continents on Cresea where the process of evolution happens much slower or not at all, where the creatures continue on their savage ways with no real signs of slowing down, where every generation is just as monstrous and vicious as the last and there’s no other place on the known map quite like Iluin. If there was ever a place real monsters live Iluin would be it with plenty of diverse ecosystems ranging from mountain ranges, plains, jungles and much more, Iluin can house just about all walks of life ready to climb its way from the muck and survive long enough to stake a claim on a piece of land. Iluin quickly became a forbidden area for sailors even the strongest of mages came back with horror stories of their abilities being sapped away when in truth the continent itself has an overlay of mana in the atmosphere just like the rest of the world and nothing there has adapted to use magic so there’s a much more concentrated amount of it so concentrated in fact its nearly visible by the naked eye. With so much unused mana around magic spells tend to work differently than in other places like Traylor, most spells tend to be a lot more powerful when used which would make taming Iluin easy for a group of mages; however, because none of the creatures here can use magic directly more than half of the population are born with a strong magical immunity this being the only positive form of evolution taking place.

Many years past and the continent was now nothing more than a distant memory, people knew not to go near it but nobody seemed to talk about it much anymore until strange tribe claiming to have origins to Iluin sprang up and began recruiting those who would help them tame the land. This tribe of dragonkin called themselves the Eruset a for the most part a new race of subdragon with human features, a lot more scales than skin and their generalized builds were made for killing. The Eruset are too few in numbers to lay claim to such a savage land so a recruitment drive has been set in place to drum up anyone willing to fight with them, many would be too afraid to go but those who had nothing to loose, looking for fame and glory or just thrill seekers would be drawn to this obvious suicide mission.

OOC: This RP is going to be fantasy (Duh) mainly PvE where you (your character) along with others (other characters and NPCs) will try to survive the horrors of Iluin all while attempting to create a functioning settlement that protects you from the abominations both day and night as well as discover the connection the Eruset have with this place in general. Think of it as Monster Hunter meets Bloodborne. As far as races go I won't limit you on whatever you create, nor will I have a direct say in the magic (Some are out of the question like space and time manipulation.... Vectors too) they use, just keep in mind the stronger they are, the more I have to go out of my way to make Iluin nerf them; I only ask that your character be thought out and presented in a.... unique (riiiiiight) way. Because this is just an interest check I wont type out how the Eruset work as a race, just know they can't use magic, have a high resistance to it and their technology is somewhat akin to how the video game bloodborne's weapons are (transforming)

The Eruset

Hierarchical Social Structure

The Eruset have a strange form of social structure as they are a warrior, hunter species this being said outside of normal finds of basic society such as a doctor, forge workers, teachers and a village leader the Eruset’s hunting parties are usually pack focused giving them an odd offshoot hierarchy form of structure that is much akin to wolves. A pack of Eruset is supposed to consist of one Alpha, one Beta followed by two subordinates, however over the years lately it has been one Beta and three underlings as most Alphas nowadays prefer to hunt alone. It is extremely rare that you’ll see an Omega with the Eruset hunting pack usually whomever the Omega is their name is simply referred to as a runt, they typically grow up to be shorter and weaker than the rest so it is customary to place them on a different path that isn’t hunting, many omegas don’t last long and more often than not they are simply assistants like nurses or a teachers whipping boy. Outside of the normal hunting group the Eruset within village all look up to the elder for guidance or teachers for instruction

In a hunting pack the pecking order goes as follows

* Alpha

* Beta

* Normal Eruset

* Omega

Shared Abilities/Disabilities

Eruset collectively have nearly unmatched physical attributes in the natural world from strength to speed all the way to endurance coupled with their dragon like physiology they all have natural armoring in the form of scales under their skin over the years they have lost a lot of their dragon features but they show a penchant for survival and conquering.

* Dermal Scales / Natural armor scales

* Enhanced condition

* Enhanced Senses

* High Magical resistance – The Eruset have a curiously high resistance to magical attacks such as if a mage were to use pure fire magic or lightning magic the blow will be severely lowered while if someone enhances a physical object the magical enhancement won’t be completely removed just lowered and they will still take the initial damage from that physical object. If that physical object is thrown like a rock or brick they will take the full force of that object even if the speed and force are altered through magic but if it was ignited with magic than tossed the magical fire will go through the resistance check.

* Natural Weaponry – Claws, teeth and tails (Although in these recent years their tails are small and slender now)

* Adrenaline Rush – Like humans the Eruset have adrenal glands that secrete a specific hormone in situations of high stress that cause increased blood circulation, breathing and carbohydrate metabolism thus activating their fight or flight response. For an Eruset due to living in such a high stress environment for nearly their entire lives it is hard for one to be overcome by an adrenaline rush however when it does happen it is exceptionally more powerful often times sending them into a state of hyper focus.

* Thermal empowerment - The Eruset also have a strange natural ability to absorb heat from the sun and store it in their bodies as a type of energy that they can project through their hands, not strong enough on its own to do real harm on its own unless it’s been storing that way for a while then they can expel it through their mouths as a red or orange flame

Disabilities:

* Magical Crippling -The Eruset as a collective race have the inability to sense, manipulate or even perceive the flow of magic or mana, they are all magically ignorant and incapable of using spells even a toddler could use, and it’s as if mana itself rejects them, this being said they know of magic and have seen it used but their species is completely incapable of using it.

* Strange birthrates - Normal species can intermingle with other species and form hybrids however this is not that case with the Eruset. No matter what mates with a Eruset the baby born of the union will be a Eruset baby, a pure blood Eruset in fact has a higher change of being an Apex even if that chance is still remote; it is because of this strange phenomenon that many Erust men and women prefer to find a mate of another species to scramble the gene pool to reduce those chances.

* Apex - The Eruset have a strange form of subspecies called an Apex Eruset, an apex is much stronger than even an alpha, being able to beat one out in every physical quality there is including size. The back draw is that their primitive brains have a much higher influence on their decisions making their evolved brain close to nonexistent, mostly they all lack the basic ability to formulate plans and strategies and go from pure gut instinct this of course makes them more violent. Apexs are identified by their titanic strength, bigger size, poor mental conditioning, and all around short tempered. If an Apex gets out of hand in a clan, he or she will be exiled to wilderness and can be hunted down like any other beast.

Technology

The Eruset are very tribal, but that does not mean they their technological advances are stunted or slowed as the species have been blessed with a very adaptable brain. Their weapons work off of the mechanisms that interlock, extend, contract and change form; cogs and gears work to make these things possible so much so their entire civilization is capable of folding up into large caravans and migrating where ever the tribe sees fit to settle. Iron is a common resource on Ilium, but half of the time it’s not strong enough to cut a monster and even more so the average Eruset can break an iron or steel weapon just from overusing it; to combat this issue the Eruset have started to use the very monsters they kill as weapons. They will use scales, plates, teeth, the hide or anything else that can be seen as useful with the steel from the forge to create new weapons and with their mechanisms allow for a very versatile fighting. Armor and basic clothing are made with the monsters hide and plates combined with a little bit of cloth for protection as well as versatility, things can be slightly changed or altered depending on personal preference.

Let Them Fight - A Kaiju Gijinka RP

@Lmpkio hows this? I didn't know how you wanted history to be written

My Hider

Name: Gamera
Gender: Female
Age: 51
Race: Kaiju
Faction: Earth Defenders

Personality: Gamera's desire to protect is legendary and known throughout the world, always on the front lines shouldering and taking everything anyone can throw at her. Very adamant about showing she's no pushover ready, to dig her heels into the dirt and show just how stubborn she really is, when it comes to a challenge or obstacle. Gamera is a very straight forward individual letting you know quick exactly where you stand with her and not wanting to keep anything hidden, she is in fact nearly incapable of keeping secrets. She is very intelligent for a Kaiju thinking up plans to defeat enemies, preferring to figure out different ways to combat a situation this trait is undermined a most of the time by her ‘front line’ mentality.

At her core she wants to protect those in need and may come off just a little bit conceded being sure in herself and her abilities she can’t resist a damsel in distress nor can she ignore anyone genuinely asking for help this being said she is slow to trust and has little friends she also has a nasty habit of holding grudges for a very long time. She always believes people have a hidden agenda or something they aren’t tell right off the bat; this way of thinking has probably curved her personality to be unneededly forthcoming.

History: A bioengineered 'Guardian of the universe' created by Atlantis to defend them against another one of their bioengineered weapons called the Gyaos a flying experiment gone wrong. Things didn't go so well for Atlantis in the end, however Gamera was a success and left for the future generations in case the human killer Gyaos should ever come back. The year was 1995 when A ship carrying plutonium collides with a floating atoll off the eastern coast of the Philippines, one of many incidents occurring throughout the area. As the anomalous formation approaches Japan, a team of scientists led by Naoya Kusanagi. During the investigation, the atoll suddenly quakes, destroying the slab and throwing the scientists into the ocean. One member of the team, Marine Officer Yoshinari Yonemori, sees the eye and tusk of a giant turtle. At the same time an ornithologist was investigating a village that was apparently attacked by a ‘giant bird’. While at first skeptical of the claims the researcher discovered what looked to be human remains in a bird pellet (droppings).

It wasn’t until later that the Kaiju known as Gyros was identified as these giant bird like creatures, this discovery was possible with aid of special runes and texts found from Atlantis itself; a be it they were merely chicks at the time. To prevent further attacks, the government decided on capturing the the giant birds. The creatures were lured to the Fukuoka Dome baseball stadium, where two of the three are successfully captured. The last one escapes to the harbor, where she is killed by the giant turtle encountered by the scientists. The remaining birds escape before the turtle reaches the stadium. Thanks to the same text, it was revealed the giant turtle was Gamera a sort of guardian or defense system to counteract the Gyaos but because of the damage she caused Gamera was treated as a threat. It took some time, but eventually all the bird monsters were taken care of, leaving only Gamera left standing tall like the mountain.

Powers/Abilities:

Melting Furnaces: Gamera can ingest coal, oil, fire, magma and uranium and they are sent here to be burned.

Thermal Energy Conversion Intestines: This is where burned material is converted into thermal energy.

Plasma Fireball

High Fever Muscles: Gamera's muscles can produce ten thousand times the force of any human and can withstand high temperatures (High Fever), more so than any conventional metal and are very durable.

Shell: Gamera's shell is known for it invulnerability, the only known time it has been breached was by Guiron, who struck the same place over and over again. Her underbelly does not have this resistance however.

Thermal Energy Conversion reactor (Plasma Conversion Furnace): Gamera's blood can absorb heat, flames, high voltage current and nuclear fuel. These energies are converted into electrons, protons and atomic nuclei and stored as plasma energy to be used. Life energy from the Earth, Mana, can be converted as well. The power of the total release of Plasma is unknown.

Flight

Vanishing Fist: A one time shot where she envelopes her fist with all the thermal energy shes absorbed into one devastating punch.

Kaiju Transformation: Gamera's Transformation turns her into her 55 meter tall turtle like self

Other:

Knows she isn't a natural born Kaiju like godzilla and hates to be reminded of such
Like to talk to Godzilla being that they are similarly aged
Doesn't trust mechs too much or monsters that used to be 'evil'
