For a more defined reason as to why the Godzilla thing is a nope: The Principal is obscenely powerful. He could snap his fingers and Godzilla would find itself hovering somewhere around Proxima Centauri.
what if i told you
that godzilla is also obscenely powerful

Godzilla can be teleported, it's canon. Though sending him to space might just make him into Space Godzilla.

Also, I will probably allow player-run plots... if they are PMed to me first, so I can check it for stupidity, power trip, or being big to the point the Principal would decide it was worth intervention.

As a general rule, the answer to "Who is more powerful, the Principal or X" the answer is usually the Principal.

Also, he's just big and tough. Doesn't mean he has resistance to magic.

Proxima Centauri is a star. You don't survive being in close proximity to a star.

Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.

Space Godzilla grew up in a black hole, and then left it. Because Japan needed to be destroyed yet another time.

Eh, I'm not good with plots.

The problem with plots is that there's no actual inherent risk; the Principal will always be able to intervene the instant the situation turns for the worse. Where's the fun in that?

IKR, that's why I don't like OP characters. Every plot will be shortened exponentially without no real action or any character development, lol. The Principal would just intervene in anything. An OP character like him should no intervene at all, just like Rosario+Vampire's principal. ((Please don't beat me to death with this example. lol))

They could feasibly happen if something big was going on somewhere else that needed his full attention, or take place somewhere he wouldn't be able to easily reach them.

It's a school, not a meat grinder.
If we make it so plots can lead to death, it can also lead to people making mary sues with the sole purpose to kill all the other characters.

Edit: Then again, the fact that broken bones can be healed in an instant kinda removes all the risk of getting hurt.
Seriously, if you get stabbed in the arm, that will most likely weaken that arm for the rest of your life.

I wouldn't make the plotlines to fight eachother as an RP PVP, but working together to combat outside threats to the school. Using their talents, skills, thinking, etc to fight the threats.

Personally, I think it'd be interesting if the problem was a thing that simply could not be fought, possibly because of the masquerade or somesuch, and so the characters would have to figure out another way to 'solve' the problem, be it by convincing/bribing(if it's a person) or doing everything short of actual combat to prevent it(if it's an event of some sort). You know, force the characters to put their thinking caps on or something.
The problem being, of course, the Principal but it's probably not impossible to make it so he can't involve himself.

Or if it's not some actual threat to their health, in which case he probably has better things to do.

Of course, we run the risk, if we were to throw Godzilla into a star, of Godzilla coming back, on fire, and pissed. :P

Should totes make Jana think someone will steal Yuri away from her though. Watch the yandere ensue.
