GALAXY OF MONSTERS


A Free-Roaming Sci-Fi Monster Hunting Roleplay



“Monsters exist out there… You just need to know where to look.”
~ GAHL President Richard M. Malkovich


It’s the year 2102, thirty years after mankind perfected the art of space travel. Through their travels throughout the Milky Way galaxy, scientists and explorers have currently identified 306 planets that contain physical life. And from these planets, around 64 of them house intelligent life. We have finally solved the age old question if we were alone in the universe. And the answer is a big fat no. As we continue to expand further into our own galaxy, more and more of these habitable planets are found each passing week. Every one of these planets house some of the most unique specimens unlike anything seen before on Earth. From the smallest bug, to the biggest monster, and to the smartest individuals, we have documented hundreds of thousands of new fascinating species. And with such discoveries happening at a feverish pace…

...comes a profitable business.

Enter the Galactic Adventure Hunting Lodge (GAHL), a large legal group of hunters and explorers of all races and species, who are specialized in accomplishing quests that involve both exploring unknown planets and hunting even the most vicious of alien creatures out there in the Universe. Their clients all vary, as well as their tastes in what they want, but they are wiling to take down anything all for a good price. The more dangerous the mission, the more credits does it bring. A “high-risk, high-reward” job, it’s clear that only the bravest and perhaps the most foolish can make such a living off this life. You are one of these hunters, wielding some of the finest weapons and armors the galaxy has to offer, and it’s your job to work with your teammates and take down these monsters to simply get food on the table. Who knows what you’ll encounter out there, but I suspect that you’ll take care of them without much difficulty.

Happy hunting recruit. And may the stars shine down upon your adventures.





Welcome to Galaxy Of Monsters, a free-roaming sci-fi monster hunting roleplay that lets you hunt alien creatures across the galaxy! From the steamy jungle planets to the desert wastelands, to even ocean and volcanic planets, there’s just simply so many locations to explore. And with every location, across any planet, there are different monsters out there to hunt and get your big fat juicy paycheck. It’s your life really. Now what creatures are you expecting to see out there? Who really knows? You may even encounter entirely new species to name for yourself, as well as the one to kill or capture it (for science) or find something even more intriguing. Allow me to provide you with several examples of these weird and wonderful creatures coming from this one planet:



As more missions pop up, so do other planets, and as they pop up, a diagnostic scan will reveal some of the creatures you may encounter while there. Any new creature discovered during the quest will get added into the list of fauna. And the bigger or rarer the animal is, the more money you will receive. High-tech state-of-the-art weapons will obviously be used to take them out, but let’s not go for something too strong. The fun is in the hunt you know? Vehicles may be used depending on the terrain as well, but mostly terrain vehicles and no flying ships (though there may be exceptions later down). Powersuits are also a thing to battle the large megafauna of these various worlds (which costs a bloody fortune too!)

(Also no Anime faces for the profile pics; but realistic artwork of individuals do work perfectly fine; also you can play as an alien and make up your own planets, creatures, etc)

If there are any questions about this RP, don't by shy, ask and I'll respond. Happy hunting!

@Lmpkio I think I remember you from a mecha rp a while back, good to see you again. I may make a character if I can hit a good stride.

Question time?

What sorts of limitations are being placed on the tech, armor, and weapons available to us?
Is there going to be any sort of overarching plot or is this RP focused on contract by contract stories alone?
If I play as an alien, do they have to be essentially the same as humans in terms of combat effectiveness, or are useful biological functions allowed to a certain degree?

If its the first one I've ever been on on this site like 2 years ago, than yes lol good to see you again.

Well the tech is rather advanced, we're talking about laser weapons, hovercraft, and spaceships as big as capital ships. Holograms are a thing, basically think of Destiny, but less fantasy and more realism.

There is something in mind down the line, but otherwise for now it will be based off simple hunting quest arcs.

Define what you mean. You can make the alien as unique as you want you know?

@Lmpkio This isn't even close what I want, but here's an example.



Let's say this thing doesn't need any sort of armor because it's naturally tough hide allows it a good enough balance between protection and maneuverability. Also those tentacles allow it to sense the presence of creatures that it can't see. Maybe that spike on the tail can pierce through armor or a biological equivalent, etc etc.

Is that alright?

@BurningCold This particular creature Ill be very skeptical on bringing in, but concerning what you mean by biological features than it actually depends, but what you listed seem fine (the tail part is a little sketchy though).

But let me await your official character and I'll see for myself.

Hello! Do you have room in this RP?
*Rubs my hands all over it...*
Please review my Character Sheet if so.
Thank you for your time!

@Utrax Oh this character looks like fun. And when I mean fun...

*Shudders at the PTSD memories of Mei in Overwatch*

But I digress, this character looks pretty damn awesome. The weapons also portrayed is also reaaaaaally unique as well, in fact it reminds me more of a more futuristic harpoon-cannon that can repel targets at close range. And that Sword and Shield are also quite powerful but they have equally strong weaknesses. Very unique character overall. Ima nickname him Mr. Freeze if thats ok XD (jk)

I say this character is accepted! Go ahead and put him in the CS

*May or MEI not be a FILTHY MEI MAIN.*

The key is not to try and win, but to try and be as big a jerk as possible.

Also thank you! And you can totally call him Mr. Freeze hahaha.
I'll move him over there. I'm pretty excited for this RP!

Yuuuuup. Man fuck that lovable prick in my side.

We're just waiting for a few more players to get their profiles up. By Wednesday we may start the RP depending on how everyone is doing.

Also, I do have plans for a Snow planet with some creatures in mind, so be on a lookout for that ;)

Just a heads up I'll be entirely inactive starting tomorrow through Friday, and I should finish this nifty work-in-progress below after those few days.


Hope you like the looks of her--er, them thus far!

@Juicy It is a WIP, but so far I've learned nothing lol.

On a slightly different note, civilization tends to quantify things such as age and time. And that does not necessarily need to be by a planet's cycle. There is bound to be a method by which an "age" can be derived. For instance you mentioned that Zor is female on a leap year. While not a well defined time frame that would be something rather specific to the species biological clock and could be used to define something like age. While not in something like Earth years, it would be a way to define how long an individual has been alive. Not that there needs to be per se. Some cultures you simply exist. But I would think that one that is space faring has to have a solid understanding of mathematics and the passage of time in order to travel anywhere.

It's also likely that the space community at large has developed a more universal method of telling time. Since each culture would probably be using many methods that are difficult to convert between one another. Such collaboration would be of benefit to trade, negotiation, and many other interactions.

I feel like I'm thinking about this too hard.

@Juicy Certainly an interesting concept. Can't wait to see what it has in store.

That's actually true. You need solid mathematics and literally the mind of Rocket Science for precise calculations and basically for anything space related or tech like hovercrafts, for black holes, etc. However... this is an alien civilization. Aliens could have some sort of way in precieving technology that we humans can not understand. It sounds crazy, but thats just because we were never used to it.

It's also likely that the space community at large has developed a more universal method of telling time. Since each culture would probably be using many methods that are difficult to convert between one another. Such collaboration would be of benefit to trade, negotiation, and many other interactions.


Well that's true. Again mathematics and time "Planet-Zones" may be of effect, but in this universe thankfully, going at lightspeed is a thing (may or may not be scientifically plausible, but this is added in for practicallity). But time wise Im not going to go tooooo indepth into that. It's always MONSTER 'OCLOCK BOYS!

Ah. Species age.

See... I left Brek's age at "adult" simply because of that age conundrum, then added in the "20's" interpretation for a more human understanding of his development. His species is a long lived one that measures time by their own system. They develop in something similar to an insect cycle-- egg, larva, a cocoon, adult, venerable, and an optional rebirth.

I didn't want folks to wrap their heads too deeply into it, since I've done it for them haha. Plus, I planned on explaining it IC if the topic ever came up.

Throwing out ideas. It is interesting coming up with origins for things. You don't really need a solidly defined age since things are potentially different for each character. I was merely presenting options outside the box of human years. You can come up with entire logical or illogical methods based on culture or physical phenomena. A species could even not be space faring, and simply have been picked up by others and yet to have a concept of time other than being. Or have a religious view that transcends time making it irrelevant.
