GODZILLA: Ceaseless Combat/Rodan

Rodan is a playable character in GODZILLA: Ceaseless Combat and one of the game's first four starting monsters. He is based on the Monsterverse incarnation of the character from Godzilla: King of the Monsters(2019).
==BACKSTORY==
The first sightings of Rodan were at the foot of Mt. Aso, apparently having hatched from an egg that was mutated by nuclear waste in mining operations. Rodan would take up residence at various islands, developing and fighting to become stronger, even coming afoul of the King of the Monsters several times. Rodan is among the largest of all flying kaiju and definitely the fastest, breaking the sound barrier every time he takes flight. He also has commendable control over wind, heat, and radioactivity, while also being nigh-immune to them in return.
==GAMEPLAY==
Despite being a starter character, Rodan is not suited for those new to the game. Mediocre damage output and a lower number of Health Cells than the norm means that he has trouble in prolonged combat, especially up close, but his almost unparalleled speed and ability to fly and mix things up mostly make up for this. Several attacks can burn his foes, weakening their ability to fight back and possibly allowing Rodan to quickly make his escape. In addition, while he may not be able to take physical blows well, he has surprising resistance to most ranged weapons while he switches between bombarding foes with radioactive mist, sonic booms, and his Uranium Heat Ray, and striking them down in rapid succession up close.

Input 	Name 	Element	Type 	Energy Cost 	Description
High Attack 	Peck 	 	Melee 	-- 	Rodan makes three quick pecks with his beak, each one slower and stronger than the previous.
High Up 	Overhead Crescent 	 	Melee 	-- 	The giant pterosaur slams both of his wings toward the ground to attack. The move has great range, but if Rodan misses with the attack or hits a fallen opponent he will collapse as well.
High Down 	Finger Dive 	 	Melee 	-- 	Rodan jumps up and dives downwards, holding out a magma-coated finger claw.
High Left/Right 	Wing Strike 	 	Melee 	-- 	Rodan quickly flaps wildly with his wings twice, hitting a good distance in front, behind, and to his sides. The last hit can burn foes briefly.
Low Attack 	Talon Slash 	 	Melee 	-- 	The flying monster makes an extremely fast low kick with his foot talons.
Low Up 	Bicycle Discus 	 	Melee 	-- 	The pterosaur takes flight, then quickly banks and spins wildly like a discus while descending before sliding along the ground.
Low Down 	Drill Claw 	 	Melee 	-- 	Rodan flaps his wings, gaining more altitude, before putting his feet together and plunging downwards, talons extended.
Low Left/Right 	Beak Charge 	 	Melee 	40% 	Rodan flies up and rushes forwards extremely quickly for a short distance.
Strong Attack 	Fly Sweep 	 	Melee 	-- 	Rodan jets forwards a long distance, maintaining his current altitude for the entire attack. If he passes over a foe, the foe will be sent flying or, in the case of heavier foes like King Ghidorah, simply knocked down.
Strong Up 	Fly Roll 	 	Melee 	10% 	Rodan flies in a loop before heading straight, beak at the ready.
Strong Down 	Sweep Swoop 	 	Melee 	-- 	Staying low to the ground, Rodan expands his wings and quickly spins in a circle, sweeping with both his legs and wings, coated in magma that burns foes.
Strong Left/Right 	Corkscrew 	 	Melee 	10% 	Rodan flies forwards before quickly transitioning into an aileron roll that drills into foes and buildings alike. Rodan's flight pattern can be changed accordingly by moving during the attack.
Primary Weapon 1 	Tornado 	 	Weapon	20% 	Rodan jumps and flaps his wings, creating a tornado that flies forwards before dissipating. The tornado lifts foes into the air and briefly burns them throughout the duration as well as once they land.
Primary Weapon 2 	Radioactive Mist 	 	Weapon	34% 	Rodan releases a green radioactive mist from glands in his wings.
Continuous Breath Weapon 	Uranium Heat Ray 	 	Weapon	25% per second	Rodan opens his mouth and fires his radioactive heat beam.
While grabbing foe, Throw 	Fury Pecks 	 	Melee 	-- 	Rodan slaps the target with his wings, stunning them, before unleashing a series of rapid fire pecks at their neck.
While grabbing foe, Throw Up/Down 	Drop 	 	Melee 	20% 	Kicking off of the foe to get momentum going, Rodan flies forwards and grabs the target with his talons, pulling them along through the air for a few seconds before letting go and dropping them.
While grabbing foe, Throw Left/Right	Big Circle 	 	Melee 	-- 	Throwing his foe to the ground, Rodan grabs them in his talons before launching upwards and making a giant loop before slamming back into the ground with them.
Special Technique 	Supersonic Sonic Super	 	Melee 	50% 	Quickly, Rodan spreads his wings, then jets forwards and up at alarming speed, creating a large shockwave and sending anything in the vicinity flying. The initial shockwave drains a considerable amount of energy, but afterwards Rodan can be fully controlled as if he were rushing. He slowly descends, but by holding the Jump button, he can regain altitude. However, it should be noted that any attack that hits Rodan will immediately floor him.
Rage Attack 	Fire Tornado 	 	Weapon	-- 	Surrounding himself with orange lava-like energy, Rodan spins in the air numerous times before slamming down, creating a gigantic swirling pillar of wind and fire moving forwards. The pillar moves rather quickly and sucks nearby buildings, vehicles, and monsters into the vortex, burning everything. It doesn't disappear until it hits the side of the map.
