King Ghidorah (2nd Character Application) - King Ghidorah - 01-01-2017
This is Kelly MacAryn, applying for an alt.
Character Name: King Ghidorah
Character Source: Godzilla franchise
Character History:
This version of Ghidorah is based on the original origin - the three-headed golden destroyer, the cackling, lightning-spewing ravager of planets who's traveled the galaxy for millions of years smashing entire civilizations. He's taken from immediately after the end of the movie in which he first appeared - 1964's 'Ghidorah, the Three Headed Monster' - with one minor difference. Rather than simply getting driven away by the combined efforts of Godzilla, Mothra and Rodan, the cosmic destoyer got the centermost of his three heads blown off in the fight by Godzila's nuclear breath, as per the ending of 1991's 'Godzilla vs King Ghidorah'.
It is the fading consciousness of that severed head, alone for the very first time, which is brought to the Omniverse, albeit in a radically altered form.
Physical description:
(not an original character per-se, but considering Ghidorah's canon form is 120 meters tall and not exactly verbally articulate, some changes have to be made)
Ghidorah is sinuously powerful, with muscles like a professional swimmer. He stands about seven feet tall, and wide enough that everything is in-proportion. He appears superficially human, but only at first glance. The King of Terror has golden skin, composed of thousands of tiny overlapping scales, and what a person might initially take for a golden, tightly-fitted scale-mail breastplate is actually an armored carapace. What seem to be a set of stylized pauldrons at first glance, crafted of gold in the style of a pair of slumbering dragon-heads, are upon closer inspection, parts of his body, permanently joined to his shoulders. His nails are long, pointed, and slightly too thick, and he doesn't wear shoes.
Ghidora's face is thin and cruel, with a small nose, an almost feminine jawline, and red, slit-pupiled eyes. His ears are large and pointed, and there is a crown of three small horns hiding among his unruly tangle of dark blond hair.
He has somehow acquired a pair of plain white cotton slacks, Thank (presumably) Omni.
Starting Stats: (2 stat upgrades, 3000 OM)
ATK:5
DEF:5
SPD:2
TEC:0
Starting Proficiencies: Ranged Proficiency (1000 OM)
Starting Moves:
Golden Lightning - variable, requires ranged proficiency (600 OM)
King Ghidorah's favorite means of attack, the King of Terror can fire jagged, golden-orange 'gravity beams' from his hands and mouth. They are about three inches in diameter, and travel at the speed of a bullet, out to a maximum range of one hundred meters before they arc to ground. These beams are very powerful, burning their target and tearing at them with intense tidal forces, comparable to an incendiary shotgun-slug (or an incendiary round from a more powerful gun. ATK score.) The beams can be fired in bursts, up to a maximum of three beams in three seconds (One from each hand, and one from his his mouth), but Ghidorah must charge for one second per beam he intends to fire. For all its power, using his golden lightning does not cause Ghidorah very much strain, though firing repeatedly for a minute or so without rest will wear him out. The trade-off is that the lightning is difficult to aim, even at less than ten meters, tending to arc in random directions and making the attack highly reliant on volume-of-fire. Ghidorah can move around while using his lightning, but only in a straight line, and cannot take any other actions.
If Ghidorah chooses, he can make one or more beams in a given 3-second burst fire in a continuous arc for up to half-a-second each, allowing him to rake them across the battlefield. This version of the attack does incur a noticeable stamina drain, minor for just one persistent beam, like running a five-second sprint, but multiplied for each beam in the burst to which the effect is applied, so firing all three in this way is a major drain on his energy levels. The range is also reduced to fifty meters.
I have read and agree to the rules of conduct.
How did you find us? Once again, I'm already on the site - Kelly MacAryn.

You're able to purchase those stat upgrades now, if you would like to! First Stat Increase (1000) + Second Stat Increase (2000) is 3000 OM, totally affordable with the amount of starting OM you have.
What's the diameter of the beams?
I'm so excited to see a Godzilla character! At last!
Edit: And from what I can tell, that move isn't variable and should be 300 OM.
"The beams can be fired in bursts, up to a maximum of three beams in two seconds (One from each hand, and one from his his mouth), but Ghidorah must charge for one second per beam he intends to fire."
Change two to three and you're golden.
Edit2: AND! You have two ATK stat listings. Replace the last ATK:0 with TEC, please.

And there we go. Changes made in bold and italics. I also added a second fire mode for the golden lightning, which I had been intending to do in the first place, but didn't because I stayed up far later than I should have to get this app done.

Sorry to butt in but you need physical strength to be that big:
Quote:Giant body
Any character over twelve feet tall or wide is classified as a 'giant'. Whether it's turning into a giant monkey or climbing into your giant robot, being huge has its advantages, gigantic reach being one of them. However! You must have a minimum of 3 attack and the power 'physical strength'. Bear in mind that your speed and defense do not 'size' up automatically, so relatively speaking you will be moving much slower (since you're bigger) and if you have 0 defense you're still going to get blown up, especially since you're a much bigger target. To feel properly epic, Omni recommends at LEAST 3 in attack, defense and speed to use such a form! (so use it with Power-Ups if you can).

I'm not sure I understand. I only made him seven feet tall.
RE: King Ghidorah (2nd Character Application) - Guu - 01-01-2017
Woops, misread, proceed
RE: King Ghidorah (2nd Character Application) - Jade Harley - 01-01-2017
Haha, okay.

That aside, let's take another look at your move.... must Ghidorah remain stationary while using this move, or can he move around? What is the maximum range for the continuous arc portion of the move?
RE: King Ghidorah (2nd Character Application) - King Ghidorah - 01-01-2017
The maximum range on the continuous arc would be about half that of the regular version - so about 50 meters. He can move while firing, but only in a straight line, and can't take any other actions. Ghidorah is not a terribly co-ordinated individual.

Alright, edit that in and you're approved! I'll let you set up your roster since you've been here a while!
