Sorry for being a bit quiet, work has been pretty hectic recently. I’ve actually had to do my job for once!On the bright side, I have Boiúna ready to go (I think). Please check it over to make sure I didn’t make too many mistakes, Shaq.
I did notice you mention something about not being opposed to Kaiju being Gifted? The version I’m submitting took Gifted for the Beast Friend and Entangle powers, which I felt fit with the theme I was going for, but I’m happy to rejig it to follow the rules properly.
What is your character’s Origin and Motivation?

Here's my guy:
Origin: Living God
Motivation: Protection
• Armor +30: All kaiju have scaly skin, viscous bodies, or dense flesh that acts as armor.
• Cannot Speak: Kaiju communicate through body language, infrasound, pheromones, roars, and trills, but cannot speak human languages (unless they have the Fully Sapient ability, below).
• Size 16 (Gargantuan): Racial abilities and Edges may not reduce the kaiju's Size below 12 or above 20. They have Heavy Armor, can take three additional Wounds, and their attacks (including powers) count as Heavy Weapons. Kaiju may perform Stomp attacks.
• Increased Damage: The creature's limbs cause Str+2d12, AP 24 damage. Claws and teeth actually pierce armor while blunt limbs or flailing tails negate it with overwhelming force, but both negate Armor in game terms.
Racial Abilities – 15 points
• Armor – 1pt = +2 to armor
• Bite – 1pt
• Claw – 1pt
• Tentacles – 2pt = 2 tentacles
• Additional Action – 3pt
• Infravision – 1pt
• Tool User – 1pt
• Pace – 2pt - +2 to Pace and increase by die type
• Low light vision – 1pt
• Leaper – 2pt
Hindrances
Arrogant (Major)
Vainglorious (Minor)
Jealous (Minor)
Edges
+1 to Agility attribute
+1 to Spirit attribute
Attributes
Agility d12
Smarts d4
Spirit d8
Strength d12+16
Vigor d12
Skills
Athletics d8
Intimidation d8
Notice d6
Stealth d4
Taunt d4
Fighting d12
Survival d4
Pace: 8, Run die: d8
Parry: 8
Toughness: 40 (32)
One day, a great quake shook the mountains of Kiliminjaro, and from the nearby dark forest depths emerged a newly awakened kaijju. He fought and drove back the enemy kaiju plaguing the area, but still being new at the kaiju game, caused a great deal of destruction and loss of human life (some whisper greater then even at the end of Man of Steel). While he loves the blessings that some of the townsfolk give him, the majority are weary and suspicious. The locals call him Vernietiging, or Vern for short, the Afrikaan word for Destruction.

Doesn't Voog's bio kinda imply Human Approved edge? Although I'm not sure if it's actually required to be peaceful towards a small area (and receive boons from it), so correct me if I'm wrong!
HUMAN APPROVED
Requirements: Novice, kaiju
"So you want to make Godzilla our pet?"
"No. We will be his."
— Godzilla: King of the Monsters
The kaiju is beloved by a specific population of humans, such as the citizenry of a certain country or geographic area (often the area where the kaiju makes its home). Typically, this is because the kaiju has a history of acting as a guardian for the surrounding region, or because the monster has a cherished place in local folklore or religion as a benevolent deity. Perhaps it has even been adopted as a national mascot of sorts. Whatever the case, the kaiju has human advocates in the government and media - people that lobby the U.N.'s Kaiju Task Force to defend the creature's right to existence. Likewise, the military of that particular nation will usually stand down against the kaiju unless attacked first.
Note that the kaiju loses this Edge if it takes aggressive action against its human supporters, allows other kaiju to ravage them unchallenged, or causes tremendous amounts of unnecessary collateral damage.
[ +- ] Human Approved

Funny you should mention that because I was seriously considering taking the Human Approved edge, but decided against it last minute, though kept the Vainglorious hindrance. I can change my bio or edit the character to get the edge, if need be.
Sep 8, 2020 7:30 pm
On second thought, it's probably even more appropriate if Voog's following isn't very big or influencial. They probably can't really lobby on his behalf very effectively?..
Sep 8, 2020 10:00 pm
I had thought about that edge as well, but figured I probably come into conflict with people as often if not more often than I’m on their side. And Eco-activists don’t seem like the most helpful humans to have on side.

Bio updated accordingly!
Also, have a pic but not sure how to post it using the Image setting here.

Hey everybody,
Sorry for the hold up. It took me a few days to get the time to write the first post. But the game is officially started. Good luck. Let me know if you have any questions.

So, I'm a bit confused - do we all know each other or not? And how well? Did we just band together recently? (Kinda got different stories from Omukade and Panghol posts, but maybe it's just how I read it? XD)

I thought we were already a sentai group but that isn't agreed upon, apparently. I'm happy to edit if we're pre-"teambuilding weekend retreat at Cape Cod".
Sep 15, 2020 3:38 pm
I thought so too, but I can edit my post as well. (Even though it will be just poking unknown kaijus instead of poking familiar ones. XD)
