Self-proclaimed everything expert.
Fifty seven years ago, all we knew was shattered. That day a great rift opened up just off of the western cost of Australia, a dimensional tear hovering just above the ocean floor, larger than any building. A wave of power erupted from the point and sent humanity into darkness. And in the darkness was when they first emerged.
When the power was eventually recovered a week later, we saw the full force of the devastation. Entire cities burnt away and crumbling, people little more than shadows of ash against the walls. If they were lucky. Almost overnight half of the world was turned into a firepit. Entire continents were labelled uninhabitable for even us humans.
All because of them. The Kaiju, a term the public had insisted on. They were what emerged from that rift, titanic beings that at minimum rivalled the size of the towers. They emerged and rampaged with little to no thought, using almost supernatural abilities to destroy all in their path as everything around them was turned into a wasteland.
It was only through the combined might of the world's finest militaries that humanity made it through. Although these monsters were tough, they were not immortal and enough explosive power was able to bring them down. Once borders were properly set up, it became only a matter of time.
You ever hear the saying 'Necessity is the mother of invention'? Well, this is a prime example. In a mere few decades humanity advanced faster than they had in the last century. World unification was achieved (or at least, what was left of it) and although the sciences were flipped on their heads they found themselves advancing at breakneck pace.
It took humanity a mere dozen years to come up with their first solution, taken from an old movie. Titanic, piloted robots coined as 'Walkers' designed to combat the Kaiju on their home turf. Every country contributed, and with the introduction of the Walkers humanity found itself capable of expanding their borders, just that little bit more.
But the Walkers were a temporary solution at best. The rift from which the creatures emerged from was still active, and no inorganic material could pass through unharmed. And so humanity searched for another answer, now under the care of their metallic creations.
It took far longer this time, the solution only being deemed possible a mere three years ago, but we did it. We finally did it. We figured out the Rapid Interchangeable Evolutionary Process (RIEP), the key to taking our world back once and for all. All we had to do was embrace the inner monster.
The RIEP is a process designed by the best minds humanity has to offer, allowing for those that fit very specific criteria to be able use the genes of defeated Kaiju to transform. To be able to freely shift between human and Kaiju forms. To take the fight to them, on the exact same level.
You are one such human, among the billions screened you were one of the very few who fit the genomic requirements to be able to make the process. You are humanity's last hope.

Welcome to a new RP i’m GMing, where I have reached a new level of not knowing what i’m doing. Do not expect much, this is to have bigass things fighting each other with the occasional guest appearance from giant robots.
As stated in that lovey little preface (that I wrote out of sheer boredom), the world is royally screwed. Kaiju have invaded from a titanic tear in reality and have laid waste to half of the world. Africa is no man’s land, Australia hasn’t been heard from since the incident began and while we’re pretty sure the Russians are still around, no actual confirmation on that one.
You, my dear writer, are a shifter. You are one in almost a billion who meets the specific requirements to take the government funded process to become a Kaiju.
This is not negotiable. Any protests you may have fall on deaf ears. Needs of the many, needs of the few, you get it.
Now the process of Shifter creation is at its core simple. The DNA of two different Kaiju is spliced with yours, along with a cocktail of chemicals you really don’t want to know about, and you gain the ability to freely (and painfully) shift between little human meatbag to skyscraper sized, electric covered meatbag.
Thus, fill out this char sheet:
Name:
Age:
Codename: (Your Kaiju name)
Appearance (Human):
Appearance (Kaiju):
Kaiju Traits: (5 traits. Can range from near supernatural abilities (throwing lightning) to physical traits such as flight. Follow a theme determined by what Kaiju you decide on being the product of in your backstory.)
Personality:
Backstory: (Include rough descriptions of the two Kaiju types you’ve been injected with.)
If you have ANY questions, please do ask.

Really screwed, little more than scorched earth
No Clue
Walled Areas. Guarded. Inhabitable.
