Name: Gigan
Type: Assault Cyborg
Stats:
HT: 95 meters
WT: 70,000 tonnes
Landspeed: 400 kph
Aiprspeed: Mach 6
Swim Speed: 85 knots
Description:
Combat Style: Gigan is a merciless, ferocious combatant. He is well-known for taking advantage of his speed and flight capabilities to repeatedly weaken his foe with hit-and-run attacks. Gigan often engages in hand-to-hand combat as well, where his lethal scythes and vibro-saw are able to do the most damage.
In tougher situations, Gigan can deploy his grappling hooks to incapacitate foes before finishing them off. And when close quarters fighting is out of the question, the cyborg can use his precise laser beam from his forehead.
Armor Type: Gigan's biomechanical armor is created from a unique titanium alloy not found within the solar system. The cyborg's dense yet light armor is resistant to piercing and slashing attacks, and capable of reflecting some energy beam attacks.
However, Gigan's armor is highy susceptible to damage from fire and projectiles, and little defense against electromagnetic attacks.
Armaments:
Scythe Claws - In the absence of claws, Gigan's primary weapons are these formidable blades, sharpened to cut cleanly through armor or flesh.
Chest-Mounted Vibro-Saw - Yet another odd aspect of this cybernetic Kaiju's array of weapons, the vibro-saw uses blades that vibrate hundreds of times per second to clear obstructions or eviscerate Kaiju that come too close.
Grappling Hooks - Mounted beside Gigan's scythes, these projectiles fly at 100 kilometers per second, able to embed themselves in most Kaiju hides or armor and prevent escape of Gigan's prey.
Forehead Laser - Used sparingly due to its drain on Gigan's energy reserves, this laser is expertly guided by the targeting systems, only a quarter as destructive as Godzilla's ray but far more precise.
Twin Buzzsaws - If more firepower is necessary, Gigan may rearm himself with twin buzzsaw mounts on each arm to provide the cyborg with further destructive capabilities.
Special Equipment:
Advanced Computer "Brain" - Gigan is by far one of the most intelligent as Kaiju go. Gigan's mind is more silicon than flesh now and functions very analytically and logically, and has some small resistance to psychic attacks and mind-reading.
However, the portions of his mind that are still biological created Gigan's infamous mean streak and, when the odds are highly against him, cowardice. The duality of Gigan's brain is almost nonexistant when up against an Imago, due to common inbred hate and programmed aversion towards the moth race.
Origin/History: Gigan was the ancient emissary of the Xians, an alien race bent on conquering the universe. After numerous worlds fell at his feet, Gigan was sent through space to quickly conquer the planet Earth for its abundant resources and rich atmosphere.
When Gigan arrived on the planet, 80 million years before humanity existed, he was confronted by an unexpected guardian of the planet - an Imago. Not expecting opposition in the least, the cyborg was quickly dispatched and fled to his controller's mothership.
After being upgraded with new weapons and a hatred for the moth-like race, Gigan returned to Earth once again to defeat the Imago - and lost once again to the combined power of her offspring and the Imago herself.
While she left the planet to destroy the Xian menace for good, Gigan's cocooned remains were sent into the depths of the seas, never to be seen again.
It was not long before the menace of Gigan was forgotten among the subsuquent generations of Imagos, and humanity was none the wiser of the ancient threat. Had it not been for the Followers of Ica, things would have remained that way.
Instead, the disciples and enormous coffers of Rudolph Jenson led to the discovery of Gigan's decimated remains, which were quickly transported to a remote facility in Peru. There, the Followers have already repaired the titan's systems and do their best to revive Gigan...
Pass: Sempre Fidelos
Since Gigan is a cyborg, I went for a hybrid of the Kaiju and mecha guidelines. Let me know if that's a problem in any way.
