Hey you! Yeah, you! Do you like kaiju? What about Mecha? And do you wish there was a RP that can fulfill your kaiju battling desires by pitting your favorite monsters from fiction against one another: like Godzilla against Gamera or Ultraman versus Gipsy Danger? Then wish no more! Partake in epic battles of colossal proportions in “Kaiju War Legacy” to see who will come on top as the true “King/Queen of the Monsters”!
Premise is straight-forward: Pick an appropriate kaiju and/or mech combatant from fiction and fight against each other in a collaborative arena-based match up! There’s no overarching plot other than the ones you forge yourself!
1). Kaiju and mecha characters must have originally come from an existing piece of media (ie: Godzilla, Gamera, Ultraman, etc). No OC creations allowed (only OCs you may see are NPC entities by me, depending on the scenario at hand). However, feel free to redesign and reimagine your kaiju combatants if you like by altering their backstory or adding any additional powers to their arsenal as long as they stay true to the character and are within reason - which would be considered as a "Legacy" character.
- 1a). Multiple versions of the same character are currently discouraged (ie: two King Ghidorahs) unless they are distinctly different enough (ie: Showa (alien) Mechagodzilla and Mechagodzilla III Kiryu). However, if you feel like one should be included for any reason, DM me your case and we'll see if it can work.
- 1b). If you want to make an OC and have it fight other kaiju, feel free to check out Kaiju War Legacy's sister RP - Kaiju War Chronicles.
2). Plot is not the dominating factor in this particular RP (albeit subject to change). This is more of a way to flex your writing skills and have fun through kaiju combat. I will not assign any overarching or secret plots, however if you want to have some kind of continuity or “fighting” plot with other fighters, then feel free to discuss it with me. "Event Matches" is one example I had in mind regarding one of multiple player entities going up against a "boss" character. (Also if things kick off and lean more towards plot-heavy elements, I may create a separate “plot-driven” RP or simply remove this rule from the list).
3). I highly encourage posts to be at minimum 1 - 2 paragraphs. Try not to simply make one simple sentence and call it a post - make it more engaging and detailed!
4). 1v1 fights are standard, however more players and fighters can join both prior and during the battle provided everyone involved in the battle is fine with it. Do not invade other players’ battles without their permission first.
5). In every battle, your fighter has a chance to be slain in battle (at your discretion). This, of course, can be arranged with your partner if you both decide who should die - whether it be they want to retire it, announce that they are leaving the RP, or if they think it’s fitting that it should die in that conflict. Of course, being that this is (currently) a truly battle-based RP, this character can be revived for the next fight, whether it's acknowledged as a form of “continuity” or not. (If plot becomes more of a thing, this rule will also be modified to fit that portion)
- 5a). If your opponent becomes inactive during a battle for an extended period of time, and has not notified you or the GM about their situation, then you have the option to either leave the battlefield through a fair excuse, or be able to defeat the kaiju in your own way (with GM permission). If you chose the latter option, do NOT kill the fighter - rather have it retreat so that it can be picked up again by the player if he/she decides to return.
6). Obligatory and standard RP rules - no metagaming, godmodding, mary-sues, etc. Every fighter has a weakness, no exceptions. Failure to comply with these rules repeatedly will have you banned from combat.
7). And as always, have fun!
If you have any questions, requests, or comments, feel free to ask me for details.
Also I highly recommend to take a look at the original Kaiju War Chronicles page and read on some of the glorious fan matchups! Most of the stories there are pretty good! They might even help you become inspired when writing or just in general to get the feel of battle.
