Username: King Ghidorah
Have you read the rules? Yes
Character Name: King Ghidorah
Character Source: The Godzilla films (elements pulled from both the classic and monsterverse versions, as well as some related comics, with a certain amount of creative license thrown in)
Starting Location: Inverxe
Character Behavior:
King Ghidorah is, first and foremost, a narcissist, a psychopath, and a nihilist. He firmly believes that he is the single most perfect and worthy example of thinking life that has ever existed, the ultimate apex creature. He knows in the depths of his hollow soul that everything and everyone else is more or less there for his enjoyment - either as food, slaves, or fodder for his destructive muse, and he treats them as such. He's obsessed with bringing ruin and despair, addicted to the thrill of kicking over a sand-castle, and like more mundane addictions, he's constantly seeking to outdo his last fix . In fact, in his own mind he's elevated it to an art-form, an aesthetic consideration as much as a physical one. While he doesn't go around simply trying to kill everyone he meets and burn everything he sees, that is always his goal in the end, and any forbearance, restraint, or courtesy on his part is always paper-thin and usually in service of more deeply appreciating the things he will one day remove from the world. Even when he is not killing, Ghidorah is never polite. He is insulting, demeaning, grandiose in word and deed, and quick to anger. He frequently breaks things, both for his own gratification and to make sure everyone around him knows who is in charge.
Not all of Ghidorah's qualities would be necessarily negative if they weren't attached to him specifically. He is curious in the extreme, a component of his particular aesthetic yen, and will demand information about anyone or anything with which he isn't familiar. He possesses a certain rudimentary caution around creatures in whom he recognizes power or violence akin to that of those few who have bested him in the past. Around such beings his arrogance and disdain become more subdued, although they never disappear entirely. He is aware of (and disgusted by) the fact that he is not as invincible as he would like, and the only thing preventing him from being a complete coward as a result is his unforgiving pride - qualities which frequently clash when he is in genuine danger. Finally, Ghidorah is very cunning. Although not terribly smart as such, Ghidorah possess a fine eye for detail, both when observing the behaviour of others and when examining objects, structures or vistas, a consequence of long experience reading into the aesthetic significance of the peoples and worlds he has ruined.
Note about Ghidorah and hands: This version of Ghidorah has had many forms over the eons, but only rarely has he had hands. Although he finds their form somewhat offputting, he can't deny the utility, and still finds them mildly fascinating.
Note about language: Almost as much as destruction, Ghidorah loves language. He didn't always have it, and the way it gives shape to his thoughts and reflects the nature of the world is a source of fascination for him almost on par with his love of wrack and ruin. As such, he is extremely verbose.
Physical Description:
This form of King Ghidorah is partially humanoid, with no wings, and functional arms. He stands upright, seven-and-a-half feet tall, sexless, and covered head to toe in overlapping golden scales. The individual scales are larger on his chest and thighs, almost suggesting a scale-mail breastplate and greaves, but shrink to a supple fineness almost akin to leather on the hands, feet and face. He possess three heads, after a fashion. Two of them are fused with his shoulders, oriented laterally, giving the impression of pauldrons: these are draconic, reptilian, with heavy brows above cruel, serpentine muzzles, crowned with thickets of twisted bronze horns and fine golden hair. The eyes are closed, and do not open. His central head is larger, with with a shorter muzzle, no hair to speak of, and larger horns. It sits atop a neck somewhat longer than a man's, though not quite qualifying as serpentine. His eyes are deep, crimson red. Ghidorah stands and walks digitigrade, with powerful thighs and defined calves ending in three-toed feet more reminiscent of those of a bird of prey than a man, creating the impression he is always stalking something. He does not wear clothing if he can at all help it.
Character History:
This version of Ghidorah is very, very old, born shortly after the beginning of his universe, before the laws of physics as we know them were entirely set. As the three-headed, golden-winged terror of the space-ways, destroyer of worlds, he ravaged his native cosmos for billions of years in the form of the colossal lightning-spewing dragon with which are all familiar. As such, although for much of his existence he has stood unchallenged as the most fearsome thing in the Milky Way galaxy, he has had trials as well as triumphs. At his best, he is responsible for boiling Venus, and the advanced civilization that lived there, and obliterating their martian outposts. He has smashed solar empires beneath his mighty stomping feet and gone through many bizarre changes, taking on different monstrous form and sometimes dominating the minds of lesser creatures. At his worst, he has been repeatedly mind-controlled himself by spacefaring civilizations seeking to exploit his power. He has been cast down in defeat, humbled by Mothra, vaporized by Godzilla such that only a few scraps of flesh remained. But Ghidorah has always risen again, a cosmic storm on wings of gold rolling in from the galactic rim, driving all lesser creatures before him.
However, at some point, something finally managed to kill him properly. He does not recall what. He does not recall how, or where. But the fact is evident by how he came to the Crossroads: arisen in a shrunken and larval form from a pool of golden blood half-clotted and dripping from a set of monstrous, mummified jaws. Looming above the comparatively insignificant frame he now calls his own, half-embedded as though by some long-ago impact in the stone wall of a cave below the surface of Inverxe, the first thing he saw was a desiccated, three-headed corpse, a dragon the size of a mountain, with strips of glorious golden hide hanging like banners from its bones.

Ongoing (0, Specialized))

Ghidorah's body is not made out of conventional biomaterials. His scales are super-hardened, his bones moreso, and his flesh is like stone; even newly arisen and thoroughly diminished he is very difficult to injure. Further, his physiology is fueled by the last faint electro-gravitic echoes of a galactic superstorm. As such, he can endure far greater hardships than a normal creature.
Earth-Shaking Might
Damage Rank 5 (500)
Move Object Rank 5 (500)

Ghidorah possesses tremendous strength. Embers of the cosmic catastrophe within that once burned worlds and propelled him between the stars still gutter and flare, occasionally crackling across his hide, granting him physical power far out of step with his current size.
Flavor:
Ghidorah 'speaks' telepathically, although he cannot currently do so over a range greater than a person speaking out loud would be capable of, and has lost access to any other mental abilities.
