Bio:

In the summer of 2016, a civilian pleasure boat, rented under the name of Professor Goro Maki, as well as his shoes and personal effects, were discovered floating in Tokyo Bay. Evidence of a suicide were initially reported. The boat was at the center of the bay, and a source of interest as the government investigated the point of origin from a new nightmare rising from the waters around Japan.





For decades, tensions brewed in North America over the possibility of kaiju attacks on their home soil. Thankfully, any incidents were few and far between, and could reliably be handled by the United States’ obscenely well-funded military. It wasn’t until the Crystal Incursion of 2007 that even under the auspices of the EDF, America tasted the true threat of a Type 2 kaiju assault under a Level 3 Extinction Event. The US Government began looking in to more pre-emptive directives to protect themselves and their own territory.

After all, while Japan tinkered with its robots and put its faith in pagan god-monsters, the USA could surely pump more resources into creating a super-weapon both unstoppable and controllable.

I mean...we did it before...Didn’t we?





The creature rose from the water, steam rising from its superheated hide, and spilling liquids from various orifices that scalded flesh and corroded steel. Flopping around in violent conflict with an alien environment, the life form quickly began adapting to its new surroundings. The JSDF was quick to intercept but the animal escaped.





With the recent discovery of Gojirasaurus prodigious making itself known to the world, and now this new creature, which shockingly resembled Godzilla as well, the government of Japan convened an emergency meeting to propose new anti-kaiju efforts. A new team, lead by young and ambitious politician Rando Yaguchi, dedicated themselves to unraveling this new threat while G-Force searched for this “new Godzilla.”





It was about this time that Yaguchi’s team recovered Maki’s notes. After losing his wife to radiation sickness in a badly botched nuclear accident, Maki left Japan to work for the Americans. Eventually, his brilliance in genetic engineering was put to use on “Project G.” The prevailing wisdom of the US government was that, since the kaiju threat was still very real and could not be curtailed by anything but OTHER kaiju, the US might as well make kaiju themselves. Controllable kaiju.

It was a ludicrous idea, but Maki threw himself into his work. It was only when he finally saw the growing embryonic creature that he realized what he was about to unleash on the world.

Through no small amount of careful planning, Maki fled with the football-sized embryo, as well as much evidence as he could muster, to Japan, hoping to give it to G-Force.





Unfortunately, Maki knew he was being followed. Anticipating the end, Maki cursed his existence, cursed both the country that took his wife and the country that sought to take his own. So he released the containment unit, and dumped it into the bay. When the assassins arrived to take his life and the evidence, it was nowhere to be found, so Maki was murdered. The assassins made the scene to look like a suicide, but couldn’t find Maki’s notes before the kaiju erupted from the bay! The ship was nearly capsized, and the assassins fled.





What happened next was well-documented. The creature, nicknamed SHIN GODZILLA, rose once again from the sea in a new and terrifying form. Cutting its way across Japan, the full might of G-Force, still at a loss for Mecha after the Crystal Incursion, couldn’t put a dent in the thing. Eventually, the monster WAS stopped by the combined efforts of an international coalition spearheaded by Yaguchi dubbed “Operation Yashiori.”

Shin Godzilla was defeated by repeat injections of a compound designed to freeze its body. The compound was only discovered after Maki’s notes revealed the monster’s genetic code, indicating an advanced ability to evolve in response to its environment.

The freezing compound was only a temporary solution. It could not kill the creature, and the US government, eager to cover their tracks, were perfectly willing to destroy most of Tokyo to ensure the beast’s annihilation. After a tremendous loss of life and massive destruction to Tokyo not seen since the battle between Godzilla II and Destoroyah, the Japanese government remained steadfast in its insistence that Shin Godzilla was contained.

The monster’s frozen body was immediately set upon by a massive effort to cut it apart and keep every individual piece in a consistently frozen state. If the Yashiori compound even slightly wavered in its dosage, the individual pieces could begin to grow and regenerate into new Shin Godzillas. Inspection of the body had already revealed slowly growing smaller creatures each about 10 meters, indicating that Shin Godzilla was already evolving a counter-measure to the freezing agent in the form of smaller offspring that could be potentially immune to it. These bodies were also cut apart and distributed to various storage facilities and warehouses across the country and even the world for constant supervision...





Abilities/Aspects:

Is able to fire a concentrated atomic heat beam from the mouth, but requires time to supercharge to full power.

Constantly evolving, Shin Godzilla is potentially the most dangerous creature on the planet and if given the chance, could supplant humanity easily, and even give the other kaiju a run for their money.

Extreme regeneration

Genetic code still evolving, the Yashiori compound must be constantly tweaked in order to keep the remains dormant.

The hide is initially soft and vulnerable, but quickly hardens in subsequent forms.

Any pieces larger than a few tons that are blown off the monster can immediately begin growing into a new creature.
