I am here once more to talk about...something. As you have probably surmised, I am somewhat of a creative beast. I have lots of ideas in my head, though some don't get much farther than the conceptual stages. Some do get farther than that but the ones that don't, I effectively call "brain farts". "Idea" is a little segment where I relay one of those ideas to you, the reader.
Today, we're going to talk about one of my relatively new ideas called "X-Kaiju", pronounced "Cross Kaiju"

As you know, I love giant monsters AKA kaiju AKA daikaiju; their city-stomping, earth-shaking, other-monster-face-punching ways have enchanted me for a good seven years now, though I can trace these wonderful feelings of mine developing more like fifteen years ago. Anyway, my favorite kaiju of them all is one that pretty much everyone knows and that is Godzilla, the original King of the Monsters. My love for kaiju and my newly developed artistic and creative abilities and thought process have given rise to this thing I call "X-Kaiju".

"X-Kaiju" follows the adventures and encounters of its main monster, Djermengandre...yes, I am the main monster of this thing, but it is a different version of me. Anyway, Djermengandre is called the "X-Kaiju" because of his unique ability to devour weakened enemies and use their DNA to adjust his own genetic code on the fly, gaining permanent new abilities or just flatout making him stronger; kind of like the "Megaman" of kaiju.
The story isn't just monster fights and senseless destruction, however...okay, its mostly that, but allow me to go on. It also follows the events surrounding Verra's (that's the planet's name) Kaiju Response Division, a section of the global military that in itself has its own two sections, being the militaristic "Defenders" section tasked with fighting the monsters and the Research and Development section which is tasked with studying the monsters and creating new gadgets to use against them; they are often trying to create non-violent devices that serve to drive the monsters away from cities rather than killing them and are the focus of the "human side" of our story.
"X-Kaiju" has a lot of things going on it; its got action, romance, conspiracy, raw emotion and the mysteries surrounding the origins of the main Kaiju. I imagine that it would not only be a fun story to work on, but it would fun for those who decided to read it.
If I were to get off my lazy butt and bring this thing to fruition, it would be a comic. This is because I've been reading a lot of Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog and it awakened a latent desire inside of me to create my own brand of serial fiction. The series would be structured in a number of arcs or what I would call "movies" that tell a focused story for whatever number of issues it takes to tell that story; when that story ends, I would move on to the next one and then the next one until the final arc. Even though all of the stories would seem isolated, they would all connect in the timeline of the main story. Ironically, I already have a good idea as to how the story would end.
Well, that's pretty much it. Thanks for sitting here and seemingly taking interest in this installment of Idea. I'll have more for you as they come and who knows...maybe "X-Kaiju" will cease to be just an idea sometime in the future!
BTW, you'll be able to read a more detailed description of X-Kaiju Djermengandre on my DeviantArt profile soon.
Stomp ya later!
