An Era Dawns (Worm/Kaiju)

[X][Avatar] Avatar of Nature

Fills in some of our martial and I'm admittedly partial for Monsterverse Goji's design.
 
Hmm, I wonder who'll be our Mothra, since she usually shows up in one form or another. And Mothra was usually a stabilizing influence, which might help mitigate the rage issues that Godzilla tends to have. That's the main reason I don't want to go to school, since I can only imagine Taylor roaring like Godzilla as she stands over the ruins of Winslow.
Admittedly, the city's educational system would be significantly improved by that, but I'd rather not jump straight into things.

Depends on the canon really. Sometimes Goji and Mothra are allied somewhat, sometimes they're enemies forced together, and sometimes Goji just kills her.

Though this is a good point that we're probably going to be interacting with other Shobijin.


Also, Interesting aspect
Taylor has become connected to being that inherently exists beyond the three dimensions that consist of ordinary space, acting as a mortal tie and voice.
I guess this is an aspect of Singular Point that's being used here - all Titans are on some level Higher Dimensional beings. Which helps to explain why they're actually a big enough problem for the Entities to go "Okay, this might be a problem, get that shit on lock".

...And this probably means Anguilus and his Shobijin will have their SP Precognition abilities. That could be very good, or very, VERY bad for us

Definitely seems like Luna is pulling a spin on the Red Dust / Archetype from Singularity Point.
A wall, crystalline and stretching out through an infinite darkness, twisting and twirling in on itself, like a tesseracting image of a hypercube. A flash of the night sky, with a single hand reaching towards the stars, and an echoing song that plays at the back of your mind.
There is only one tiny issue, one small thing that you quietly realize. Whoever it is that is begging you, they are trapped. They are contained. They are locked away. You barely even manage to think that, before there is a flicker of gold across your sight, a line of white, and cold golden eyes that look out beyond the edge of the world, out towards something far and away.

Meaning flits against the side of your thoughts, and for a moment you realize… something. Yet, even in the moment that you have the realization the knowledge is fleeting and floating, slipping past your grasp and out into the wilds of the world, lost to you once more.

All that remains are the barely droplets of understanding.
It also fits with why Taylor seems to barely grasp what is happening, because to comprehend the full existence of the Titans is not within the bounds of mortal minds, not without starting on the path to be an Avatar at least. If nothing else, the fact that all of them were universally sealed and they have a common enemy says good things about the potentiel for Taylor and other hosts to team up.

Scion I suppose takes the place of Ghidorah for now in being a Golden Invader from space who serves as the final boss.

Honestly I just like the Avatar of Evolution's art the best.

I suppose that would make Scion Ghidorah's faux-avatar.

Though I'm wondering what the exact nature of the entities might be if we fold Ghidora into it. Maybe we're looking at something closer to Godzilla Earth Ghidora that occasionally takes the form of an actual dragon when the reality hacks stop working so well?

lso, I think its fun to see how Taylor's already getting traits from Goji - feeling more comfortable when there's water against her skin. Whatever happens, we're probably going to enjoy taking up swimming as a hobby.

Man, if only we put all our points into Prowess to crush our foes, then we could have gone for Despair to crush even bigger foes, showcasing what the kaiju life is all about. Guess we'll have to make due with the blocky one that keys more into our Learning.

Evolution does have the best art of the three imo though.

I am fine with either.

I would pick Nature but then I saw "Trait: Computational Analysis" and I remembered her liking the computer class
 
Okay so.

Kinda want to discuss avatars:

All three seem to focus on different Aspects of Goji, and I think it's important to note that these aspects probably merge together. Given the presence of both SP and Shin, I wouldn't be surprised if big G had some level of adaptive ability.

I think that's important to note because that means that Despair, Evolution, and Nature are all different facets of Godzilla here. Whichever one we choose, the other ones aren't less true. It's just the facets that get represented in Taylor - or maybe what she subconciously feels most represents her, hence why Despair is probably an option.

Despair then focuses on sheer destructive power, Godzilla as a Monster. No bonuses to stats, but the ability instead makes it easier to grow, sacrificing something more esoteric for further strength. I find myself reminded of the quote regarding godzilla about how the tragedy of monsters is that they are born to strong and heavy to be able to interact with our world, and I think this form is kind of the embodiment of that. That strength and power can be useful, especially in a world like this, but you also become constrained by that strength.

Evolution in some ways is the middle of the road option. Middling stat boost, middling prowess, and an ability that's useful, but isn't quite as long term impactful as Despairs. Instead the focus seems to be on Godzilla as a Higher Dimensional Being, and the ability to comprehend some of that. The downside being that its growth might be slanted heavily in that comprehension over combat ability - the higher dimension stuff is important, but the three we know is where all our stuff and Dad is.

Nature is probably the most esoteric of them, Godzilla as a living Creature. It's got the largest stat boosts, but the way they're spread implies that of a thinking creature - tactics, hiding, and learning. It's prowess is the lowest, but it's intended to be applied in just the right way to have an impact. And it's ability is less immediately strong, but it also implies a connection to the world - whilst also allowing us to turn attempted sneak attacks or 'Nothing personel kid's around on our enemies, tying into that 'fight smart, not hard' mentality.


But regardless of which one we pick, the other two are still parts of Gojira, and I think that Taylor will need to spend time understanding them to truly find a kind of symbiosis with the King of the Monsters.

As long as we get more Alapu Upala, I'm totally down for Singular Point Goji. Plus SP Goji's reality bending powers will give us a big leg up against Zion or the Endbringers.
Remember that for SP Jet Jaguar to beat SP Goji, the Jaguar squad had to employ time travel shenanigans to give the second timeline enough leg-up to get their JJ's Singular Point form researched in time to beat SP Goji before it was too late.
right mate i read your reply and got curious so i watched goji SP and wow how did i not know a godzilla anime got made need to look into it more also

Without any information about where the powers will go, I'll stick with what I see , which is that Evo's power here just seems weak unless our stats get *really* high

Compare, with pre-bonus stats of 25, and Despair giving just one point of advantage to every stat (it will probably be more):
  • Despair: 26/26/26/26/26/41 , probably higher
  • Evolution: 25/25/26/26/32/37 (+6 LRN, rounded up)
  • Nature: 25/27/26/27/25/35, with a cool power

EDIT: basically it looks like every 30 points in STE for Evo matches one extra point gained by Despair

Unless we're going for a build that's all about LRN.
