The story also circles around the Empire of Samudra especially in it’s capital Samudra Bahru and Lulu Island. Lulu Island is a home base for our hero The Giants of Light also known as The Colony. The island also served as a shining example of law and order during the time. The giants from World Relief Garrison (WRG) working together with the human members of Earth Defense Organisation (EDO) protecting humans around the world from The Dark Giants, Kyrieloid and other gigantic monstrous threat. However a prophecy has been foretold that WRG and EDO are doomed to fail and the humanity will perish.

Other than that the prediction of the return of Gatanozoa, the Prince of Darkness future awakening. Who was also prophesized to destroy the current civilization as he did multiple times before and usher the next Dark Age. YOU as the champion of light shall see this tale to its end, and perhaps alter the future altogether! 4 SETTING RULES Blood and Guts Characters can spend Bennies on damage rolls! Critical Failures When a character rolls double 1’s on a Trait roll. He can’t spend a Benny – he’s stuck with the critical failure. 5 CREATING A CHARACTER The players will be playing as one of the earthbound Ultraman rise from Lulu Island. Unless the player decided otherwise, please refer to page <pending> in playing as Non- Ultra Characters. A template for character sheet can be found at the end of this book. Character Creation Summary Choose Character archetype (Optional) – Archetypes doesn’t affect your character in anyway. Their sole purpose is as guideline in your character creation. Choose Tribe - Ultraman are divided into two tribes; both possessed their own unique strength. It may also affect your experience in game. Determine Traits – Your hero starts with a d4 in each attribute, and has 5 points to be distribute among them to be raised to the next die type, which cost 1 point per die type. You also have 15 points for skills. Each die type in a skill costs 1 point up to the linked attribute. Going over costs 2 points per level. Choose Hindrances and Edges – You gain additional points for taking up to one Major Hindrance (2 points) and two Minor Hindrances (1 point each). For 2 points you can: o Gain another attribute point, or o Choose an Edge 6 For 1 point you can: o Gain another skill point, or o Increase starting funds by 100% Choose Starting Gear – unless the GM says otherwise, all character will start with £500 (In this game, we’re using a custom currency so instead of pound sterling, ‘£’ will be considered as ‘Laham’) to purchase equipments that he feels needed in his adventure. Background Details – Fill in any background details of your hero Revision – Double check and you’re good to go! 7 The Base Just as all of the earthbound Ultraman before you, as long as you remained under the earth atmosphere, you are bound to 3 minute rule. Thus most of the time, you will have to strive and survive by morphing as a human. As a human you will start with these traits as your hero’s foundation. Charisma – Charisma measures your Hero’s charm and likeability by the NPC. Your Charisma is equal to the total bonuses or penalties given by Edges and Hindrances. Pace – Pace is the distance you could walk to in an encounter is 6” Parry – Parry is your ability to repel attacks in hand to hand combat. It is equal to 2 plus half Fighting skill Toughness – Toughness is how much it takes for a hit to actually would you. Your toughness is equal to 2 plus half Vigor. Go ahead and add the bonus granted by the armor worn on your torso to this value as well for speed’s sake, but remember it may not count if attacks target other parts of the body. When you’re done, your base traits should look like this: Charisma: 0 Pace: 6” Parry: 2 Toughness: 2 8 Archetypes (optional) These archetypes will aid you if you wish to quickly create a character for a one-shot or convention adventure.
