Description
Another often used giantess archetype is the alien. Now, the alien character is a bit deeper than the goddess character I did previously. With a goddess, it’s fairly simple. They have the power and the desire to be big and crush things. But with characters from different worlds, you need more creative license. Especially if you want to seem original in your concept. The only real downside to using alien characters is that it limits you to one genre: sci-fi. Though that’s really not that bad when you consider the possibilities of such a broad genre. So let’s explore the bases behind using alien characters in macrophilia.
In general, nerds and geeks just dream of a distant planet inhabited completely by beautiful women (see Cat Planet Cuties, anime.) Macrophilia takes that same idea and goes “wait, hold on...what if...there was a planet inhabited completely by beautiful women...but they were much larger in scale than humans on Earth?” That’s completely feasible actually. If they are on their planet, and they have only known their race, then they will probably be just as surprised as you’d be when they come to your planet and find out that you and your whole race only comes up to their ankles. Of course, that begs the question: “how did they get to Earth?”
Well, everybody know that alien races are always advanced. Always. There are no primitive aliens. There are also no redneck aliens, but wouldn’t that make an awesome 60s sci-fi classic? Alien Rednecks from Space? But giant beautiful alien girls tend to have the technology to cross star systems with ease. In fact, a trip across millions of lightyears to us may be just a simple holiday road trip to them. So that means they are probably going to come to us before we get to them. And there are many reasons why they’d come: experimentation, exploration, vacation, curiosity, accident, stuff like that. The reason is open to creative merit.
With aliens in general, research is very important. The unfortunate thing is that aliens just rudely suck up people all the time into their space ships and examine them against their will. At least giantess aliens have free-range to make it more attractive. Perhaps they don’t do the oh-so famous anal probing like the martians do, but would rather do a strip search on a small, innocent human girl who is terrified...at first. And there’s a lot of ways that that story can go. There’s usually a crew of giantesses on the ship which is built to fit their size and not all of them are totally up for scientific research. Some of them might feel like getting on the ground and exploring on foot while the others experiment on the captives. This often times leads them to accidentally walk through a human town, crushing most of it under their feet before they realize they’re doing anything wrong.
Now, a lot of aliens are conquerors, and this is often times the case with alien giantesses. They feel the need to take over entire star systems and enslave enemy races. So a powerful amazon from a far away world might set a course for Earth with the intent of enslaving the human race single handedly. So she’d pack up her energy rifle and grab a few cryo grenades from the armory. Then she’ll slip into her shiny, but showy, battle armor which is like a plastic jumpsuit with large portions of it cut out. Because let’s be real: alien chicks always wear clothing that’s futuristic, but skimpy (see Birdy The Mighty: Decode, anime.)
So an extra terrestrial amazon is well equipped to take on entire armies of soldiers twice her size accompanied by massive drones with laser cannons and smart bombs. However, when she lands on Earth, she’ll be surprised to find that our military defenses aren’t quite what she had in mind. Mostly because the average soldier only comes up to her ankle, or the bottom of her heel if she’s wearing flashy high heels as alien chicks often do. Then conquering the planet won’t be much a problem considering that our only real defense against a Giantess of any kind is a tank. That’s pretty much it: our only solution to dealing with a Giant woman who’s rampaging through the city is a tank. And all they really have to do is just step on them, and then the 80 ton vehicle flattens like a soda can.
So her first thought might be “Huh...I actually didn’t need this weapon at all. In fact, I really don’t even need any of this gear. No point in a first aid kit, or this holographic-visor. I don’t even really need this battle suit for this: it’s hot and sweaty anyway. I could conquer this whole planet with literally nothing but my feet and a can-do attitude.” And that’s exactly what happens. Feel free to use your imagine with what happens next, because that’s as far as I’ve planned. But either way, an alien Giantess usually doesn’t spell good news for the people of Earth. If she’s coming to wage war, she’s going to destroy everything. If she’s coming on an exploration mission, she’s going to destroy everything...by accident. Because I don’t know if you know this or not, but when you’re 100 feet tall, cars are really easy to trip over. And buildings make great cushions to break falls.
In conclusion, the Alien giantess is a very versatile character. They give you the chance to design your own lore involving the planet they came from, the reason why they are coming to Earth, and what they intend to do when they get there. Let’s also not forget that with alien technology, they tend to have growth rays and shrink rays. So perhaps an alien might shrink herself down and join the humans just to better study their culture. Or perhaps they’ll grow one of the native human girls and offer to take her back to their planet and join her people, but only after proving that she’s worthy of the honor by helping the otherworlder decimate her hometown.
There’s really no end to the possibilities, are there?

I can totally see that. But yeah, the Alien is especially popular among GTS fans because of how open ended she is. As a challenge, I had a friend create like 9 alternate story lines just from this piece alone. He could probably do more.
Anyway, thanks! I appreciate your comment.

I think I might have seen those somewhere in the comments...
Also, going further with the idea, maybe the scout in question is some kind of front-line reject that the resident galactic empire sent down as an expendable loss?

Well, this is a stand-alone profile that was meant to be more of a generalized analysis of your common GTS alien. The character in this piece is nameless and history-less for that reason.
But a while ago, a man named told me he was going to do a story based on what he thought was going on in this piece. I'm not sure how the story's going right now, but if you want to suggest the idea to him, have at it.

When you're dealing with hostile alien titanesses, you might--MIGHT--be better off if an army/squad is sent to Earth, rather than one rampager.
Think about it: a large number would be more capable of long-term occupation (setting up a base, preparing drop-zones for the next troops, etc.), implying the alien giantesses are (probably) here to ANNEX humanity into their empire, not just wipe us out. There IS difference between conquering a people and destroying them, after all.
Bonus points if they behave less like gleeful destroyers and more like professional soldiers (meaning they keep their armor on when on the attack, and give human cities/militaries a chance to surrender before things get ugly) A businesslike approach to destruction means they're doing this as their duty, or at least job, if we're talking mercenaries; not for sadistic kicks.
(Of course, this is all hinged on what sort of society these aliens come from. Are they champions of a morally-grey imperialist power, a la the Roman Empire or Zentradi from Robotech? Or agents of slavery and dictatorship, like the First Order from the new Star Wars trilogy? Or something in between?
That's up to the writer...)

Yeah, I assume in a real scenario there would be an army coming to Earth to conquer it much quicker.
But I love the idea of an alien giantess so full of herself and her strength that she thinks she can conquer the world all by herself.
And there is a difference between conquering a people, and destroying them. But it is possible to conquer a planet by destroying it's people first. That way there's no one left to conquer and the planet is yours. And I imagine that that is the thought process of a giantess alien. Or a giant alieness. If that's a thing.

SomeRandomMinion In reply to whitestormclouds [2016-03-10 05:13:45 +0000 UTC]
But not EVERY alien giantess who ISN'T here peacefully is gonna think in such a...genocidal...way. At the VERY least that could cause some pretty bad environmental damage; by the time she's done the planet may not even be worth conquering any more.
And, conquering and pacifying the local tinies may not be as *easy* as just killing everyone en masse, but in the long run it's better to have some sort of population and infrastructure in place for when the inevitable colonists show up. (For instance: More people living there means more tax revenue for the alien empire, after all. And wars, even brief ones, are expensive.)

Well, of course. You could deviate any number of stories from what kind of giantess lands on Earth. Whether she's gentle, violent, or just curious, I wouldn't know. But I could imagine 9 different scenarios just using those three: three for each.

SomeRandomMinion In reply to whitestormclouds [2016-03-12 03:47:21 +0000 UTC]
Hmm...
For three flavors of violent I'd wager:
* Rampaging for fun, or has a personal beef with humans that she decides to solve via stomping, eating, etc.
* Part of an invasion/war; may be out to utterly exterminate humanity, or just subjugate them.
* Sort of crossover with curious; basically "studying" humans in a very....direct way.

SomeRandomMinion In reply to whitestormclouds [2016-03-12 04:06:32 +0000 UTC]
Gimme a moment..
*1.) Scientific, coldly-detached sort; maybe collecting "samples" into small bags for study. (People, vehichles, buildings if she's big enough.) Destructive, but not out of any malice or sadism. Basically, curious in a "That bug looks neat, lemme get the tweezers" kinda way.
*2.) Basically a ditzy tourist; may or may not carry travel brochures and maps. Giddy to learn about Earth and humans, but prone to accidentally insensitive comments and other annoyances. ("Wow, you humans sure know how to make a desert livable! And without even basic cold fusion, just those primitive fossil fuels! By the way, do you know where I can find one of those...dough-nut things?")
*3.) A more friendly scientist. Where Type 1 above basically acts like she's snatching up bugs and plants for her lab, Type 3 is more like an anthropologist interviewing a local tribe. She may come armed, but she's not gonna smash anything/anyone if she can avoid it. Genuinely interested in humans and their ways. Carries a lot of recording equipment, and can be seen fiddling with a notebook/tablet computer as she takes notes and interviews any tinies.

SomeRandomMinion In reply to whitestormclouds [2016-03-13 20:45:11 +0000 UTC]
How's this?
1.) Protector/Guardian: Came to Earth--either of her own volition, or under orders of a superior--to act as a guardian against other, hostile aliens and generally help humans out. Would never harm a human without a damn good reason, and is pretty friendly with mankind and treats them more or less as equals, though sees them as her charges.
(NOTE: This could maybe work as an aftermath of an invasion story, if the alien giantesses aren't completely evil/genocidal.)
2.) Ambassador/Trader: As the name implies, she's come to Earth to extend an olive branch, or set up a moneymaking deal. She likely knows a great deal about Earth and humans, and is a smooth talker to boot. Politically savvy and friendly, and always courteous to the much smaller humans....but not totally above using her size to get an advantage in making deals if she has to.
(NOTE: She could also be the LEADER of an alien giantess space empire/trade company, rather than a dignitary thereof.)
3.) Immigrant: Self-explanatory--she's come here to make a living.

Really? I didn't know that: most of my giantess OCs are from completely different dimensions. The case of my story is that my character Storm lives in a world that serves as a hub for several dimensions, which adds a factor of extraordinary to the ordinary.
But it's neat that this subject is actually close to you: I take it that you know the alien GTS pretty well already. So I'm glad you thought that the analysis was accurate.
