Character Name & Journal: Godzilla | chin_godzilla Guild Affiliation: Guardian Alliance Plot/CR Hooks: Godzilla has gotten into the habit of interacting with random human things, so it's very easy to bump into him while doing mundane tasks like going shopping or taking a walk. He's shrunken down for these things for easier interactions, but sometimes he goes for kaiju-sized strolls through the city or swims in the ocean. He's kinda hard to miss like that and if he gets in the way of what you're doing or breaks something of yours, then...oops? Guess you'll have to talk to the really big lizard about it. Oh no.
Godzilla also indulges in vigilante work and then, randomly stopping muggings or assaults or more organized crimes, if he happens upon them. Whether he's giant sized or more human sized, he'd definitely welcome teaming up with others! Or hanging out with others. Turns out a lizard who can't speak makes for a good listener, especially since he can't share your secrets with anyone.
As interesting as shipping with Godzilla would be, I'm not gonna focus on that unless it comes up naturally or something. I imagine it would be too much of a gray area for most people, so nah.
More likely will be people interested in studying him. And really, what smarty person wouldn't wanna study a kaiju? Especially one who's docile around people. We can figure out the details of that as we go, but hey, it's something I think could be fun. Character Motivations: Eventually, Godzilla needs to go back home to be with his adopted family. That's non-negotiable. However, he's definitely not opposed to making friends or found family while he's here. G's a very communal lizard and is at his best in the company of others. He wants people he can depend on or be a playful gremlin with, people he can go to when he's down and people who can come to him when they're down. Because really, how can you not feel better when hanging out with and petting a cute reptile?
Oh, and people willing to teach him normal things like reading and writing or that maybe you shouldn't sleep in the park fountain. Potential Roles: What role does your character play in their canon plot? What role might they play in others' plots, and what would it take to get their attention? Are they an antagonist, a researcher, a tech whiz?
So being the titular character of his own show, Godzilla is the H.E.A.T. team's muscle. Their trump card, the reason they're able to do what they do. He comes in (usually to protect his adoptive father, Nick), fights the big threat head-on, goes out of his way to save innocent people, all that jazz. He's the hero of the story.
However, he's also non-human, three hundred feet tall and unable to talk. The Guardian Alliance gave him a charm to help control that second part, but even so, he's better when given a direction to follow or people to work with. He can take direction well! And understand people! But when matters of intellect or computer science or biology come into effect, he's out of his league. Pair him up with smarter people who know what they're doing (even if they don't know what they're doing) and let him be all the muscle a group needs so everyone else can handle the thinky parts.
Plot Ideas: First of all, GODZILLA WANTS TO WRESTLE. He'll see it and think it's so much fun and want in on it. It'll probably be awful for his opponent, but at least he'll be more human sized than not for it. He'll catch on that it's for fun and be all over it. He wants the enrichment, it'll be great.
Beyond that, I mean. Everyone loves giant monster fights, right? Godzilla's absolutely the go-to hero to take on a giant monster! Especially ones that might need a little help from others, so it's not just an event about him looking cool. It's...probably gonna go that way anyway since. He's the one punching kaijus in the face, but any kind of plot with a powerful enemy that can't be fully taken down with brute force, he can handle the brute force. Heck, let him hold off a threat so others can be the real heroes of the day. Problem is, it's hard to not have Godzilla be a focal point in a plot like that and I worry it'd be too self-indulgent for others to have fun with. and now I understand why Godzilla movies have so many scenes about the humans
Also being a therapy kaiju. Talk to him about your problems, receive cuddles and stuff. That's more a thing to happen over time with CR, but hey, something to look forward to. Roles Needed: NERDS. GODZILLA NEEDS NERDS. SMART PEOPLE. People to handle the people side of problems so he can punch the bad guy better. People who can give him direction to better save the day and stuff.
Any characters in need of a friend but without much trust in anyone? Come hang out with a lizard, he's cool. And really, any friends in general. Godzilla likes making new friends.
EDIT: Of course, if anyone wants to study him, they're more than welcome! He is kind of a very unique creature and his science nerd family studies him all the time, so he'll be used to it.
