Character Name: Mothra (Mosura)
Character Source: Godzilla franchise
B-Lister (2 pts) (Supporting Character; Same canon)
[spoiler]
Role: NPC Prime for personal use. Ghidorah is in serious need of a hero-antagonist that can match his stature, and the One True King of the Monsters doesn't quite fit the narrative bill in this case (can you imagine BOTH of them in Camelot? Madness.) so I'm looking to the B-List for my first NPC Prime. I'm planning on her serving as a recurring foil that ruins Ghidorah's day, and like him, possessing both a humanoid and monstrous form. Primehood is required both for the level of direct opposition I anticipate them having( the multi-form thing, and the ability to match his staying-power) and because Omnilium use gels fantastically well with her characterization as a kind of anti-Ghidorah - a goddess of rebirth: healer, creator, and guardian of life.
It's Mothra time.
Appearance: In human form, Mothra appears as a tall, fit, Japanese woman with two 14-inch feathery white antennae emerging from just above her hairline. Her hair is black, and she wears it pulled up on top of her head in a large, tight, traditional bun, held in place with lacquered cherrywood twigs. She dresses in a white kimono robe with a black waistband and long, flowing rainbow sleeves, each of which has a big red dot on it. Her face is round and alert, but not terribly expressive, except when she smiles. She has big green circles of pigment, possibly make-up, possibly not, around her eyes, which while human enough in their shape, arrangement and size have, upon closer inspection, the compound structure of an insect’s eyes.
Mothra goes barefoot, but when she’s not paying attention she tends to start hovering around instead of using her legs. It’s very creepy.
Sometimes instead of the above, she’s a giant moth. Like, a REALLY giant moth you guys.
History: (Taking elements from the Showa film continuity, the Heisei continuity, the first Rebirth of Mothra film, and just a touch of embellishment)- In her native continuum, Mothra was the deity of the people of Infant Island, a tiny spit of land in the middle of the pacific ocean which was all that remained of an ancient and advanced civilization. The physical embodiment of the guardian spirit of the Earth, its people and its natural cycles, she was a healer by nature, but circumstances frequently demanded that she fight, spending her divine life-force in battle against all manner of terrifying abominations. Whenever one Mothra fell, however, a new one (or sometimes two) would be reborn in larval form from its predecessors egg, possessing the memories and knowledge of all previous Mothras.
Coming of age in the early 1990s, this particular incarnation continued her family’s decades-long war with Godzilla, her chapter of which ended in a tentative truce. She eventually ended up expending much of her life-force in order to stop a meteor from destroying the Earth, only to die battling desGhidorah (a malformed mutation born of King Ghidorah’s corrupt lineage that sought to drain the vital energy from the planet) in her weakened state. (Her successor sealed desGhidorah away, and about a thousand years later Godzilla stomped his face).
Reborn in the Omniverse, Mothra found herself reduced to a humanoid hybrid form, though she eventually regained the power to assume her true guise. She took up the role of a traveling healer, storyteller, soothsayer, and defender of the weak. Mostly, she spends her time in Camelot, the Tangled Green and the Pale Moors.
Personality: Mothra is very kind, incredibly patient, and genuinely hates fighting, but she’s also very psychologically tough. She prefers to mediate or heal, but if some great injustice or suffering riles her temper, she’ll do what needs to be done. In person, she’s generally very reserved, but has a wry sense of humor, and enjoys finding small ways to make other people happy. In short, she’s a lot like the Cool Mom from the more conflict-ridden sort of 80’s-era family drama.
The one thing that will make her completely unreasonable is if someone threatens her two fairy priestesses. She develops a sort of tunnel-vision when their safety is in danger, and may inadvertently cause a great deal of damage trying to help them.

Tier 2 Powered-Up Form - Mothra (50 meter kaiju) - (1500)
Mothra is able to assume the form of a giant, brilliantly colored moth, fifty meters long in the fluffy white-and-black thorax with a one-hundred meter wingspan. Each wing swirls with rainbow colors, and has a big red dot in the middle. This monstrous insectoid being possesses tremendous magical and physical power, incredible flight-speed, and shocking durability for a creature that appears so frail.
Stats:
Base Mothra
ATK: 4 8
DEF: 3 7
SPD: 3 5
TEC: 3 3
Moves: (2100);
Prismatic Rays: (requires ranged proficiency, area attack proficiency) - (600 OM)
Mothra's main weapon, she is able to fire magical rainbow beams of destructive energy from her eyes. In human form, these beams are as big around as her eyeballs (two beams roughly two centimeters width, spaced about two-to-three centimeters apart) and travel as fast as a bullet for up to one hundred meters before dissipating. They create a small, intense explosion on impact, burning and tearing at the target with tightly focused concussive force, similar to standing in front of the mouth of a PVC pipe containing a fragmentation grenade (ATK score). She must charge for four seconds in-between blasts, and may only fire a maximum of 10 blasts in a one-minute period without incurring noticeable fatigue. This attack is very accurate, relying as it does on line-of sight, but cannot be used against anything outside Mothra's field of vision (this includes targets behind cover).
Kaiju Mode:
While in her kaiju-form, Mothra's Prismatic Rays change in the following ways:
-Range increases to 1 kilometer
-width increases to seven meters per beam. These kaiju-sized beams are strongest in a one-meter diameter zone running through the central axis of the prismatic ray, with the power diminishing proportionally as a target gets further from the maximum power zone (i.e, half the beam's radius from the central area = half the power)
-power increases (as per ATK score increase with powered-up form)
-maximum blast number decreases to six per one one-minute period, and were this version of the attack to somehow appear with a non-gigantic form to absorb the strain, that number would decrease to one.
Rainbow Shield: (requires Area Defense proficiency) - (300 OM)
Mothra has the ability to create a bubble of rainbow force around her body in order to protect herself from attacks. It’s very strong, able to deflect otherwise-crippling blows, though sufficiently powerful attacks (i.e. attacks that exceed her DEF score by 15% or more) may still pass through in a slightly weakened form, penetrating the bubble's surface as though it were made of highly viscous gel. It feels slippery to the touch, and slightly tingly, though unpleasantly so. The shield takes about 1 second to deploy, and requires her absolute concentration, so she cannot move while it’s in use (though she may hover in place rather than standing) or take any other action. Creating this shield is tiring, and it may only be maintained for up to forty-five seconds per fight.
Hurricane Winds: (requires ranged proficiency, physical strength, area attack proficiency, Telekinesis) - (600 OM)
By flapping her wings rapidly while in her powered-up kaiju-form Mothra can create tremendously powerful winds in a cone in front of herself one kilometer long and sixty meters wide at the base, tapering out to three hundred meters wide at its maximum range. While not damaging in and of themselves, the winds carry the force of the monster's wing-beats, and the effect is like being repeatedly and powerfully shoved (ATK Score), which can have the effect of knocking down opponents and sending them tumbling from the repeated, powerful pressure - though creatures that can fly whose SPD exceeds Mothra's ATK, or creatures with a combined ATK and TEC score higher than Mothra's ATK may be able to resist. Predictably, the effect is strongest the closer one is standing to the monster, waning to less than half-strength at the maximum distance. Using her wings in this way requires frantic motion on the part of Mothra, which wears her out fast. She can only perform this attack while hovering in place, and can't take any other action, and can only keep it up for seventeen seconds without rest.
Mothra also has the ability to create this effect telekinetically while in Human form, though the range is drastically reduced. If she uses Hurricane Winds in this way, the effect is fifty meters long by three meters wide at the base, tapering out to twenty meters at its maximum range. The previously mentioned effects and rules for resistance apply, as well as for the strength of the attack relative to distance. While creating this effect using her telekinesis Mothra must stand still, and can only maintain it for ten seconds.
Super Moves: (1400);
Tier 1 Super-Defense - Hardiness (600)
Mothra is incredibly tenacious, and combined with her magical power and status as a spirit of life, even very powerful attacks will sometimes fail to harm her (Neutralizes T1 super-attacks or less).
Tier 2 Super-Defense - Force of Nature (800)
Mothra is both a god and a monster, and the power that dwells within her is capable of denying all but the most fearsome of assaults (Neutralizes T2 super-attacks or less)
Secondaries
The Shyobjin
Not wanting to subject the people of infant Island to the trauma of a transplant into her new, chaotic world, Mothra has brought with her only her two telepathic fairy priestesses: the Shyobjin. They appear as a pair of identical japanese women roughly six inches high, dressed in bright robes, and round hats that resemble the stamens of flowers. They possess far weaker versions of Mothra’s own psychic gifts, and serve as her heralds and companions.The Shyobjin have no combat role, acting strictly as helpers and messengers to people in whom Mothra has taken a particular interest.
The Shyobjin always speak in unison, and are generally very shy when Mothra isn’t around. They are incredibly earnest, and care about all of the same things as their creator, though they are far more likely to make threats. In the past, they could increase or restore Mothra’s power using prayer and song, but this ability is now unreliable (Prayers from the Shyobjin are Mothra’s IC mechanic for Elixir use).
