I've been thinking, instead of a game that is set in the prehistoric era for the Godzilla species (well, at least until someone can find a good way to send an email to the 2014 Godzilla creators) how about a story (similar in style to the "Raptor Red" novel by Robert Bakker)? Unlike Raptor Red, our story would be based on what we think the Godzilla species behaved and such (see the discussion here http://www.godzilla-movies.com/community/forums/topic/35541 )

The beauty of it is that we can do it right now! To have a starting point for us {any "???" section is open for creative addition because I may not have an idea on what to add}...

Setting: Billions of years ago, when loads of Natural Nuclear Reactors (info on them here http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/ancient-nuclear-reactor/ ) were dominent on the super continent; they regularly released Nuclear Radiation. This was the era for the giant monsters (Godzillas, MUTOs, Shinomuras, and more)

Main Character(s):

1: Female Godzilla; Name--Kijura; (The star and focus of the story, we see her life for a year in this story. Even though the story starts with her as a "teenager"/pre-adult leaving the nest of her birth to set out on her own for the first time, we do get flash backs to her kid years.)

 

2: Male Godzilla/"Prince"; Name---Gojoro (met later in the story, Female is attracted to this male. He has a good/noble personallity).

3: Albino unusually big Male Muto; Name---White Rage (renamed from White Fury, too similar to Night Fury from "How to Train your Dragon" movie). {Because he was born an Albino, which is considered to be a risk considering their habitat requires a dark skin tone, White Rage was teased/picked-on/attacked frequently. As a result, White Rage fiercly defended himself, his unusually tall size greatly helped this. Now adays White Rage is the strongest and smartest of all the Male Mutos, and feared by the Mutos. White Rage was embaressed by Kijura when both were very young. He's wanted revenge for years against Kijura, thus the two are long time rivals).

4: Shinomura; Name---??? (???)

5: "Re-imagined Anguirus"; Name---??? (The reimagined Anguirus resembles an Armadillo Lizard/Porcupine with the spines being retractable/lay-down when not needed. He draws in air through vents on the side to help give a short sudden thrust to proppell him while in ball form and only in ball form. His family grew up near Kaijura's family back when both were kids. The two, to the surprise of both families, became best of friends and inseperable ever since their meeting with a young "White Rage").

6: "Climate Dragon" (Needs new species name); Name---??? {if it were in the modern world this thing would represent man's futile efforts to control nature by reducing its global temperatures. Resemblence: A long dragon serpent (the constricting kind) with great wings. It's armor is very light/weak in comparison to Godzilla or Mutos. However, it's faster in flight because it's so light, pluse it has an "Cold Field" that it can emit around itself (uses Nuclear Radiation to activate/keep going.}

 

7: **MINOR CHARACTER/SPECIES: "Re-Imagined Zilla"; {Think of them as practicle jokers. To most Kaijus they're harmless (and the smallest), despite looking like a Crocodile/Iguana/Basilisk Lizard mix. Their "pranks" are usually the good kind that all can get a laugh from. In fact, their social life encourages this, females are attracted to males who can pull off a good joke and not one that only the joker is laughing. }

8: [Put your own characters here, major or minor]

@GOJIRA2K: Good point about Firrarus, in fact it might be a 3-vs-3 considering if Gojoro is with them also. Hmm, that's a good question. However, because the personallity has changed from the original idea (cuppled with the fact her species are like the Mutos, views as parasites to the Godzillas) I don't think the Shincara would rescue her. Now we could add the "Kijura saving someone's life early on" to Firrarus' story line. Say the two species normally competed for the Natural Nuclear Reactors (as the main time they fought each other). Kijura's very first friend was Firrarus, so she saved him from her parents (and vice versa).

Heh heh heh... White Rage. When I hear that name, all I can think of is White Power Bill.

Who is  Gojoro? I don't think we discussed him.

The saving Firrarus idea is a better one. It would fit well with their friendship.

@GOJIRA2K: Sorry, I thought you knew. Gojoro was added to the list of main characters, but I don't think we discussed him.

Here's a short intro to Gojoro...

Male Godzilla/"Prince"; Name---Gojoro (met later in the story, Female is attracted to this male. He has a good/noble personallity).

Okay, that's who Gojoro is. Yeah they should all be in a 3-vs-3 battle. That would be so cool! Maybe we should have a predominant "Re-Imagined Zilla" character. Kind of like a comic relief character, but better.

@GOJIRA2K: I like the idea of a "comic relief" character. At first I thought it should be partly Firrarus, but the "Re-Imagined Zilla" thrown into the mix would create more comical moments.  How about a juveline female, saw with a moon shaped birth mark... thus earning the nickname "Little Luna"?

Perfect! Do you think we need anymore characters?

I know we will need some minor characters, but those we can figure out as the overall story unfolds. Another question, how would these characters "talk" to each other? In Raptor Red (that focused on Utahraptors and other dinosaurs) you the reader knew what they were thinking of. However, these are animals. From the movie novelization, Godzilla seems very intelligent by comparison. Would the Godzilla species, and the other main species in the story, be "smart enough" to talk to one another or have the desire for "revenge"?

I think they are smart enough to. If they didn't, we wouldn't have a story.

@GOJIRA2K: From reading the movie novelization, I get the sense I made them have too much of a human personality (well, at least for the non-Godzilla species). I haven't seen the official movie so I can't truely gauge their intelligence/behavior (as the novel I suspect doesn't fully capture the whole fight scenes as much).

I do have an interesting, and funny, alternate idea... we change the premise of this story to be "as if" it were a cartoon series. You know, write the stories more like it were a cartoon episode(s). The show could teach aspects of nature (the 2014 Godzilla theme) and good morals, plus having the characters with that 'human-like' personality readers/kids could better relate and appreciate their world.

Exactly! Even in Raptor Red she was smarter than the average raptor. It made you relate more to the characters.

I didn't know you read "Raptor Red", great to know :) I didn't care for all the "Darwinian" references, but otherwise enjoyed it (and wished it was a movie).

I agree with you, how we have it set should be fine... I guess it was uncertainty speaking or something.

Now all we need to do is figure out Kijura's story (and who she meets when in the story) and what would the terrain look like back then?

I did like that book. I have to agree O didn't the Darwinian references, but it was a pretty good book.

Do you think we should PM each other about the story, so we don't spoil it for others who are looking at this topic?

Hmm, that's a good question about "spoiling the story" bit. I will have to give that some thought. One the one hand, it would allow others in the forum to help us. However, that means they would know the story and thus wouldn't be surprised, but would be ready to post the complete story somewhere.

 

For now, we can focus on a last question that I'm still wrestling with... what would the landscape look like (during the Godzilla species era)? I know it would be a supercontinent complete with natural nuclear reactors, that's easy. Would things like trees and grasses be around back then? Considering the size of the kaiju, where would they get "shade"? We don't have fossil evidence of mega trees (I didn't think), then again this was so long ago any evidence could (theoretically) have been destroyed over the ages.

You can see my problem. For Raptor Red, we have fossil evidence of the plant life and theorized the landscape shape for that time period. We would need something similar for the Godzilla era.

That is a good point. I will have to think about that.

Let's see if this works... in many forums they have a "Spoiler" tab, a button that if clicked it reveals the text within. Below is only a test of this stystem.

I'm not sure if it worked.

Yeah, it didn't. I don't know how to do it yet, but wanted to start somewhere. While pondering on the botanical and geographical setting for the Godzilla Era, I couldn't help but think "If we could have a "Spoiler" button to hide the story, then we could have it here. Anyone wishing to help would simply click the Spoiler and read what we had."

That would work! If only we had one.
