[OOC] Galaxy Of Monsters - Alien Monster Hunter RP

[Lmpkio]

GALAXY OF MONSTERS

A Free-Roaming Sci-Fi Monster Hunting Roleplay



“Monsters exist… 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 these planets:

Planet K2B-894

PLANET K2B-894

Located in the K2B Solar System Sector in the Perseus Arm, K2B-894, nicknamed "Aurorias", is a planet covered in a vast blanket of green jungle and swampland. Twice as big as Earth, it's entire landmass is composed of only one supercontinent called Tultamia and has two giant inland seas being Vhalori to the north and Kalivess to the south. It also sports various large lakes and huge super-rivers, with the largest river having a width of over two miles and is 400 miles long. The planet's rings have been theorized to have been made after various large asteroids crashed into its 3 moons, releasing debris that eventually began circling around their home planet, leaving only two other moons left intact. Evidence supporting this come from the fact that between K2B-894 and its farther neighbor K2B-876, an asteroid belt separates the two planets. Despite this planet being a rather recent find, hundreds of fauna species along with more than several thousands of flora have already been identified, with experts stating thousands more of both categories are still waiting to be discovered.

Fauna Species

Herbivores

Scientific Name:
Kubaya zygaena

Threat Level:
0

Height:
9.1 Inches (23 cm)

Length:
36 Inches (90 cm)

Weight:
4 Kilograms

Description:
The Kubaya are small bipedal creatures that scuttle across the forest floor, forging for berries and other small fruit. Their long yet flimsy snouts allow them to suck fruit and put them in their mouths, much like how elephants do on Earth. They travel in mild to large groups and have an exemplary good eyesight, especially in the dark. Extremely harmless, they’ll flee and hide from anything in sight. The Kubaya are also reasonably fast, going up to speeds of over 20 miles per hour over large strides. Their calls can be identified by the little “clicks” and long “squeals” when alarmed.

---

Scientific Name:
Phocysodon catesbua

Threat Level:
2

Height:
4 Feet (1.2 meters)

Length:
8 Feet (2.4 meters)

Weight:
650 Pounds (295 kg)

Description:
The Phocysodon is a generally harmless marsupial that resembles much of Earth’s tapir. You usually find them in small herds scouring the ground for grasses or fruit, their favorite being the Narcian fruit (yellow with long hairs on them; tastes awful to humans). Most notably, the female specimens have two pouches at their end of their backs, allowing for their young to travel in relative comfort for the first 2 months of their lives. Scientists are unsure what kind of evolution upturn would cause these pouches to form there. While generally harmless, male Phocysodons can get aggressive when protecting their territory, with the same going to females when carrying their young. Their calls can be identified by the pig-like grunts and rapid “chirps”.

---

Scientific Name:
Herculine plingua

Threat Level:
3

Height:
3 Meters (9.8 Feet)

Length:
11 Meters (36 Feet)

Weight:
3 Tons (2.7 Tonnes)

Description:
Also known as “Feathertongues”, the Herculine are large quadrupedal herbivores that are named after their long feathery tongues. These tongues are used to grasp high leaves and fruit from the higher trees and bring them right into their mouths. They’re highly sensitive and are able to detect what’s edible and what’s not, along with providing them with their sense of smell. They usually travel in small family herds, with the youngsters being protected in the middle of the herd from predators. Herculine meat is considered a delicacy in some cultures and recently a major organization is trying to breed these animals for farming purposes. Their calls can be identified by “gurgling growls” and “whale-like moans”.

---

Scientific Name:
Zetamirous ghelirthamane

Threat Level:
4

Height:
5 Meters (16 Feet)

Length:
6 Meters (19 Feet)

Weight:
9 Metric Tons (8.1 Tonnes)

Description:
A distant relative to the herculine, the Zetamirous (or simply “Zetas”) is an armored herbivore known for its long thick bony crest, which almost spans its own body length. The crest seems to be made of 90% ivory, which is an illegal but extremely profitable item in the black market. If discovered by the general black market, massive hunting parties may result in their extinction. Not much is known about this creature in the wild other than it usually spends its time alone or in mating pairs. Easily aggravated and ill-tempered, it’s best to keep your distance against these creatures. Their calls can be identified by their “deep long calls” and “aggravated groans”.

---

Scientific Name:
Tetracoatlous lucoameuki

Threat Level:
2

Height:
9.4 Meters (31 Feet)

Length:
7 Meters (24 Feet)

Weight:
3 Tons (6,000 Pounds)

Description:
Taking the title as the tallest herbivore in K2B-894, the Tetracoatlous is a gentle giant that often can be seen hanging around in large swamplands in small family pods. They have long lanky limbs that end with sharp curved claws, allowing them to grasp onto high branches and steep bark, as well as for minor defense. The tentacles on their face allow them to forge for underwater plants and algae and can hold their breath for five minutes at a time. They have very few natural predators when fully grown but the youngsters are certainly more vulnerable and susceptible for attack. Their calls can be identified by their “low vibrating rumblings”.

Carnivores

Scientific Name:
Neoraptus eruphratius

Threat Level:
7

Height:
2 Meters

Length:
5 Meters

Weight:
500 Kg (1,1000 Pounds)

Description:
Resembling much like the descriptions of Velociraptors in the 1990s and early 2000s, the Neoraptor is a deadly pack hunter that stalks the jungles of K2B-894. Instead of having two eyes on the top-sides of their head, they have nine eyes on their lower jaw. While they have rather poor vision, the Raptors rely more on their keen sense of smell and hearing to track their prey. With four front arms they are able to grip onto bigger prey more efficiently and like their Earth counterparts, yet they lack the sickle-shaped claws on their feet. They can also climb up trees if they have too. Their calls can be identified by the calling “chuffs” and “ghostly screeches”.

---

Scientific Name:
Centurious rodantica

Threat Level:
8

Height:
1.8 Meters (6 Feet )

Length:
3.6 Meters (12 Feet)

Weight:
400 Pounds (181 kg)

Description:
The Centurious is a unique rodent-like creature that is active at night. A nocturnal creature, it usually sleeps in the darkest parts of the jungle during the day, its tail wrapped around a tree branch. It sleeps upside down like a bat or an opossum does on Earth. Once night approaches, the predator wakes up and uses a combination of an acute sense of smell and hearing to track down prey from as far as two miles. It can be seen either hunting alone or in small packs and are the nighttime equivalents to the day-time Trydirius predators. Their calls can be identified by their “ghastly shrieks” and “cat-like noises”.

---

Scientific Name:
Trydirius partorphian

Threat Level:
9

Height:
2.4 Meters (8 Feet)

Length:
15 Meters (50 Feet)

Weight:
480 Pounds (217 kg)

Description:
A rival to the Centurious predators, the Tydirius is a deadly daytime hunter with a beak instead of a traditional toothy mouth. While it has no eyes, special sensitive sensors cover the entire front of his head and with the help of echolocation, allows the creature to scope and print a 3D image of the world around him. In addition, the Tydirius has a toxic bite that can paralyze its prey’s nervous system within minutes. People must have special detox medicine sprays onboard with them to make certain the poison doesn’t get to them when bitten. Their calls can be identified with “deep guttural growls” and “rapid clicking noises” of their beaks”.

Ominvores

Scientific Name:
Taxel dixecontromi

Threat Level:
2

Height:
0.6 Meters (2 feet)

Weight:
9 Pounds (4 Kg)

Description:
The Taxels are a bizarre species of creature that is best described as mashing together a bat, a monkey, and some alien DNA together, while extending its limbs by roughly double its body length. These “Neo-Primates” are rather primitive in intelligence but show many similarities to various monkey and ape species back on Earth. They live in large troops and are often seen eating various fruit, grooming one another, or simply swinging from tree to tree with their long limbs. When threatened, the Taxels often throw rocks or berries at their opponents while screeching loudly for them to leave, but otherwise they simply run and hide. Their calls can be identified with “short chirping noises” and “long howls”.

Fliers

Scientific Name:
Toximori nervosticity

Threat Level:
5

Diet
Carnivore

Length:
7.5 Inches (19.05 cm)

Wingspan:
8 Inches (20 cm)

Weight:
1 Pound (453 Grams)

Description:
The Toximori, or commonly known as “Stingers”, are hand-sized bugs that can produce a nasty sting. These bugs can be seen either alone, in small groups, or in large swarms if you happen to be by their hive. They often live in caves but during the day the workers go out to find little morsels to eat. They don’t often go out stinging larger creatures, but if disturbed they do strike back with their sting. It’s extremely painful to bear, but one sting won’t kill you. However, get stung multiple times and you’ll soon be dead. Some of the hive’s “Paladins” are slightly larger than the average drone and can spit their venom in small blobs to your face, irritating the skin and producing red rashes. Best to simply stay away from them and take some bug spray with you, as well as several detox medication.

---

Scientific Name:
Ornithormeriod lombrois

Threat Level:
2

Diet
Omnivorous

Length:
4 Meters (13 Feet)

Wingspan:
5 Meters (16 Feet)

Weight:
5 Pounds (2.2 kg)

Description:
Ornithormeriods are pterosaur-esque creatures that live the the canopy of the vast jungle landscape, where they live most of their lives. Due to this, these creatures are extremely rare to come by if you’re limited to the forest floor. Yet in the canopy, they thrive and often eat insects or fruit, but occasionally come down to the forest floor to scavenge for dead animals or small animals. They have no legs, their only limps being two forearms and two winged-arms to make up for them. Their crests are often used for display and temperature regulation, flushing in deep red and orange when aggravated, in heat, or if they’re too hot. Their calls can be identified by long “caws” and “gurgles”.

Water Creatures

Scientific Name:
Diplocaulus trioculus

Threat Level:
1

Diet:
Piscavore

Length:
2 meters (6.5 Feet)

Weight:
48 Pounds (21 kg)

Description:
Bearing the same name as Earth’s extinct counterpart, Diplocaulus T. can be considered in a very weird way, a living fossil. It’s unknown for how long it has lived on planet K2B-894, but regardless it raises many questions about other similar Earth species living on other planets. Of course, this creature is also quite different from our specimens. For starters, it has three eyes, with one directly on top of its head. It also has spikes coming from his back-cheeks, sharper claws, and a similar head-looking tail on the back, possibly to confuse predators. If the creature loses its tail, it can grow it back in a short period of time. It’s poisonous for human consumption however.

---

Scientific Name:
Piranhadon xenomoria

Threat Level:
7

Diet
Carnivore

Height:
1 Meter (3 Feet)

Length:
2.7 Meters (9 Feet)

Weight:
460 Pounds (208.7 kg)

Description:
On K2B-894, the freshwater lakes and rivers are king to the Piranhadon. Acting like Earth’s alligators and crocodiles, this giant amphibious monster often rests on shore to gather the host star’s rays, while letting small birds and reptiles perform his very own dental checkup. Once it gets hungry, it dives into the water to ambush prey. They aren’t necessarily picky on what they eat, only as long as it fits into their mouths. They are incredibly fast swimmers, often picking speeds of up to 20 mph. Usually however, as long as you don’t get into the water, they’ll leave you alone, but once you’re in, it’s lunchtime for these folks.

MegaFauna

Scientific Name:
Mors viridi (Literally “Green Death” in Latin)

Nicknames:
“Kaa”; “Gigaboa”; “Hell-Boa”; “Split-Jaw”

Threat Level:
10

Diet:
Carnivore

Height:
1.06 Meters (3.5 Feet)

Length:
30 Meters (98 Feet)

Weight:
6 Tons (5.4 tonnes)
Description:
The alpha predator of Planet K2B-894, “Kaa” is a giant green snake straight out of hell. Measuring at almost 100 feet long, this massive snake is the largest recorded serpentine ever discovered in history thus far, massively surpassing Earth’s extinct Titanoboa. In fact, some say that she is the last of her kind and many say that she’s hundreds, if not thousands, of years old. Besides her great length, Kaa’s most terrifying ability is being literally to split her bottom jaws open to reveal a gaping maw of large backward-facing sharp teeth, designed to grip onto her unsuspecting prey and swallow them whole. It’s even known to eat sub-adult Tetracoatlous’ whole. While not usually fast, the snake can ambush her prey at short bursts of speed, fast enough for nobody to see her coming. It’s rumored that she even has a hypnotizing glare that paralyzes her prey in pure fear, much like how the fictitious “Kaa” can in “The Jungle Book”, which is where she got her nickname.

Planet CT-136

Terrain

PLANET CT-136

In the far reaches of the Outer Arm, the desert wasteland known as “CT-136”, or “Tatuni”, circles around a red giant star in its last stages of its life-cycle. Once a green planet filled with water, due to a combination of an asteroid colliding into it, along with the rapid expansion of the red giant, the planet is now mostly a desert wasteland. Meanwhile, experts estimate the planet’s host star will go supernova in less than 5,000 years, purging the atmosphere with lethal radiation, destroying all life on the planet. Yet despite its grim future, life still thrives to a certain degree and water can be found in the giant crater where the asteroid hit, known as “Maxiglobus Vallis”. The location harbors 90% of all known fauna and flora combined and is the richest part on the planet.

Fauna Species

Herbivores

Scientific Name:
Siguineth rekatilius

Threat Level:
1

Height:
1.2 Meters (4 Feet)

Length:
1.5 Meters (5 Feet)

Weight:
332 Pounds (150.5 kg)

Description:
The Sigus are medium sized reptile-like creatures who have remained unchanged for the past several million years and are considered as “living fossils”. While they lack defenses, they can survive for at least two weeks without water and a month without food thanks to their ability to change metabolism speeds at will. When calm, the metabolism slows to reserve and save energy, but goes into overdrive when adrenaline kicks in. It’s almost as if they’re “hibernating” in a sense, although this is not the case. Their calls can be identified with “thick grunting noises” and are often seen in small herds.

---

Scientific Name:
Catoblepas gnu

Threat Level:
2

Height:
2.7 Meters (9 Feet)

Length:
2.4 Meters (8 Feet)

Weight:
450 Pounds (204 kg)

Description:
Known more commonly as “Tatuni-Beests”, the Catobles are extremely similar to Earth’s wildebeest and are one of the most common creatures that you can encounter on Tatuni. However, instead of smooth fur, they are covered in armored-skin, which issues minor protection from predators, and have an incredibly long tongue for grasping plants from high branches. They travel in extremely large herds and often migrate from pasture to pasture seasonally, the west in the Dry Season, and the east during the Wet Season. Their calls can be identified by the “whooping-calls” and “high bays”.

---

Scientific Name:
Megalanthropus imperius

Threat Level:
5

Height:
5 Meters (16 Feet)

Length:
4 Meters (13 Feet)

Weight:
1200 Pounds (544 kg)

Description:
Also known as the “Elephant-Ape” or “Tusked-Ape”, this ape-like creature is someone you don’t want to meet when threatened. Highly territorial, these creatures will often intimidate their threat first by beating their chests and scraping the dirt with their tusks. If that doesn’t work, they will brutally attack the opponent. They usually live alone in caves carved alongside the Maxiglobus Vallis. Their calls can be identified by the “thundering calls” and their “nasally grunts”.

---

Scientific Name:
Galigomerius longinus

Threat Level:
2

Height:
10 Meters (32 Feet)

Length:
12 Meters (39 Feet)

Weight:
2.4 Tons (1814.4 kg)

Description:
The Galigomeri are the biggest herbivores on Tatuni, the largest having been recorded to grow up to 10 meters in height. These “Desert-Walkers” usually travel alone, in family pairs, or in small groups and are famous for their long migrations through the desert when the Maxiglobus Vallis occasionally dries up completely, being able to survive without food or water for incredibly long periods of time. They are also the only ones able to drink from a Clacti plant, a cactus-like plant that holds a good source of water and nutrients from within, using their tentacles and mighty teeth to crunch through the tough prickly skin. They have no natural predators as an adult… minus the Megafauna that lurk around that is. Their calls can be identified by the “low hums” and “heavy guttural groans”.

Carnivores

Scientific Name:
Neoraptus solitudinem

Threat Level:
8

Height:
3 Meters (9 Feet)

Length:
5 Meters (16 Feet)

Weight:
740 Kg (1631 kg)

Description:
Cousins to the Neoraptus eruphratius on K2B-894, these creatures act and look very similar to them, only that they’re slightly larger and are much more aggressive and deadly. While they lack arms, their massive jaws allow them to issue a nasty bite to their unfortunate prey. They don’t have any eyes at all, but their keen sense of smell allows them to track down their food and can run at speeds up to 30 mph. Their calls are extremely similar to N. euphratius, but they’re deeper and much more menacing.

---

Scientific Name:
Ranucbus likanthus

Threat Level:
6

Height:
1.5 Meters (5 Feet)

Length:
4 Meters (13 Feet)

Weight:
230 Pounds (104 kg)

Description:
The Rancubi are the cheetahs of Tatuni, going up to speeds of up to 40 mph for around 2 minutes per chase. Their long tails and powerful arms helps in launching it in large fast strides, and their tail allows them to steer while running. These ravenous predators can be seen living in small family groups or alone, just like the wild cheetahs on Earth. Males have larger crowns on the sides of their head that are used to attract mates. The larger they are, the more mates they can get, while also stimulating dominance. A rare mutation has also been seen that allows the creature to grow a large thick mane of quills along its neck, with darker skin, in which scientists call it the Emperor Rancubus. Their favorite prey to hunt are the Catobles. Their calls can be identified by their “reptillian-like hisses” and “raspy roars and chuffs”.

---

Scientific Name:
Garshomp faslisphonite

Threat Level:
9

Height:
4.8 Meters (16 Feet)

Length:
10.6 Meters (35 Feet)

Weight:
8.16 Tons (8,160 kg)

Description:
The Garshomp is arguably one of the hungriest and surprisingly as one of the most intelligent beings on Tatuni. It’s high metabolism makes it hungry almost all the time, constantly looking for prey to sink its teeth into. It has no eyes in sight, but its keen sense of smell and hearing allow him to track down prey from as far as a mile away. While it usually hunts alone, it can sometimes be seen hunting in trios, ambushing their prey with surprising coordination. Their huge insect-like forearms allows it to gore its victims and tear through their insides, and their long mouths to engulf large chunks of meat whole. It’s call can be identified by the loud “guttural roar” and “ghastly shrieks” (think the kaiju Golza from Ultraman).

---

Omnivores

Scientific Name:
Impadont yegunis

Threat Level:
1

Height:
0.6 Meters (2 Feet)

Length:
1.3 Meters (4.5 Feet)

Weight:
32 Pounds (14.5 kg)

Description:
The Impadonts are small agile creatures also known as “Desert-Blazers”, capable of going up to 35 mph. They have four legs and two forearm hooks that are used to help support itself while digging or to pierce bug-shells or roots apart. They often live in small pack communities as they also live in large caves or burrows, depending on the location, and act much like prairie dogs and wolves combined. Their calls can be identified by the “rat-like screeches” and the “quick chuffs”.

---

Fliers

Head & Skull Close-Up

Scientific Name:
Caucuflaegis ingeisius

Threat Level:
5

Wingspan:
13 Meters (42 Feet)

Length:
4 Meters

Weight:
771 Pounds (350 Kg)

Description:
The Caucuflaegis, or more commonly known as “Pterodemon”, are large carnivorous creatures that are distant cousins of Earth’s now extinct pterosaur species. Located on the back joints that connect the wings to the bodies, are organic “jets” that spew out a dense concentration of hot air, allowing them to fly at incredible speeds, much like how a jet does. They often scour the skies for a free meal for them to scavenge. Occasionally they hunt small animals, but this behavior is rather rare. When not hunting, they are usually located near water or in caves during the hottest time of the day. Their calls can be identified by the “high-piercing screeches” and the “deep cawing”.

---

Megafauna

Whole Body

Scientific Name:
Tyranipithigrade gigantus

Threat Level:
10

Diet:
Carnivore

Mouth Radius:
50 Meters (164 Feet) Roughly

Height:
Unknown

Length:
Unknown; Estimated Over 300 Meters from tongue to tail (984 Feet)

Weight:
Unknown

Description:
Hiding in the sands of Tatuni, the Tyranipithigrade, or “Tyrant Tardis”, is an ambush predator that can swallow even the largest creatures on this planet. Until recently, this giant umbrella-gaping mouth was thought to have belonged to a massive mega-worm, but after finding the dead remains that had been revealed just outside the southern rim of the Maxiglobus Ravine, it’s been confirmed that the “worm” was in fact a giant tongue. It’s host body belonged to a unusually huge species of Tardigrade, which the ones on Earth are microscopic and can survive in space (true fact). However, this creature often spends its time below the surface, its tongue lying in wait for the next prey that either slides into its mouth or if a creature flies above it, using electromagnetic frequencies to figure out the location of where its prey is, launching at it at almost 200 feet per second. They usually hang outside the main ravine, far in the desert, and can live without food or water for months or even years at a time. Scientists also theorize that they travel to new locations at night, so they can avoid burning their pale skin. How do you find out you’re near one? Check for random skeletons littered on the desert ground, as well as a giant sand crater in the ground. If they both match up, chances are you’ve encountered their little hunting hole.

Natives

Scientific Name:
Arena Cursor (“Sand Runners”)

Threat Level:
???

Height:
1.8 Meters (5’9”)

Weight:
Unknown

Description:
Extremely rare to see, these “Sand Runners” are relatively unknown to the scientific community. These “natives”, when seen, are usually running across the desert at an unprecedented speed, some claim to be around the speed of sound. Expeditions had tried to document the creatures on camera, but due to their rarity and fast speeds, it’s extremely hard to track them. Only evidence of their existence includes a few pictures of a blurry man-sized character running across the desert, followed by a cloud of sand dust behind it.

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
My spider is finally done. I was going to write the history of the species and the colonists but I can work on that later. Basically they are spiders who think that the humans are spiders who are just confused and need help.

venator aranea

Scientific Name:

Venator Aranea

Threat Level:
6 (Not a threat to humans due to their personalities but they can be vicious when threaten by a predator.)

Height:
1.4 m (4.3 Feet)

Length:
3 meters (9.8 feet)
Weight:
250 pounds

Description:
The Hunter's Spiders or the Creepy Crawlies as they are colloquially called by the colonists of B5E-873 (aka Hephaestus ) are strange to say the least. Due to the nature of the surface of the B5E-873 being windy and cold, the spiders stick mostly towards the protected canyons or the cave systems that network the planet. They are very pack oriented living in large family groups of dozens of spiders with an alpha leading the group. It is believed that it is this pack mentality that made it possible for the symbiotic bond between the humans and the spiders. It is thought that the spiders think that the humans are just strange small spiders with some missing legs. They are extremely sensitive to sound and movement due to the fact that their only natural predators are all airborne. It is theorized that the spiders trust the humans due to the fact that they cannot fly. All of the true predators can fly and the biologists on the colony theorize that the spiders determine anything that can fly as an enemy. This was determined after the spiders tried to "capture" a supply ship while protecting the humans from the evil flying thing. The spiders mostly eat the flying monsters that try to hide in the canyons, capturing them by using their net like webs that can span entire canyons. The venom from their large fangs are used to paralyze their prey to drag it into the dens for consumption. The large spikes on the front on the forelegs are designed to help with climbing the cliffs and fighting off predators. Their most bizarre behavior is the dances they do. Similar to honey bees on Earth, the spiders will do complex dances which have as of yet been understood by man. They are believed to be how the spiders communicate with each other.

@Avanhelsing Looks good.

I'll also be adding more sheets in regards to alien species and planets (maybe) as well.

*Signs in at the check-in desk*
I'll have a sheet out shortly.
Debating bringing the last guy I had back here or making another.
But I will be here.

I posted mah doube-trouble-dou in teh CS, seeing how they were already accepted last time, and that I don't wish to make another character. They probably won't be as cool or as original (or as funny, badass, social etc....) as Pisq and ELEK7RO anyways.

[Lmpkio]

@6slyboy6 No worries, considering you haven't even gotten the chance to use him in the last RP, well there you go.

Blasphemy. I made the most well thought out, and comedically acceptable piece of writing that you have ever seen on this site as my first and only post.

Okay maybe it was more shoddy than that, but it was a funny to write, and I bet funny to read. I might as well reuse it if I have the chance. I need to make some faces giggle once in a while.

… I can't believe I just wasted all that time trying to make a funny with hiders… *mutters to self* _{Bad Otaku! No dakimakura anymore!}

@Lmpkio Oh, before I work on that part of the profile, what's the limit on weapons (ie a ridiculously large armory— which I'm expecting won't be alright— or, say, a trunk or closet devoted to weapons).

@Otaku95

Depends on the type of character, but generally 3 - 4. 1 primary weapon, 1 - 2 secondary weapons, and 1 - 2 melee weapons. You can also add grenades as separate if you want (limit to 4 different types per mission).

[6slyboy6]

@Lmpkio You can have up to 4 grenades slotted per mission?

*OH BOY*

[Lmpkio]

@Lmpkio You can have up to 4 grenades slotted per mission?

*OH BOY*

@6slyboy6

If you're a grenedier, you may have a bit more, but generally in how many you carry is probably 8 (2 for each type)

@Lmpkio

Having writers block for what Im feeling my Char will be, but Ill have something up soon. Thinking a mercenary type that is paid to keep population of the more dangerous Creatures populations in check so those big scary ones are not killing every hunter in sight. Does that sound acceptable?

@Thecrash20

Sure, that can be done.

[6slyboy6]

@Lmpkio So I can jam pack my EXO with 8 grenades? Oh boy!

Wait no, thats a serious health risk to Pisq. Damnit, it's like watching over children: you can't bring them to the firing range, and you also cannot bring the firing range to them.

@Lmpkio

Oh I got inspiration since I forgot we can make alien Species. I wanna try to make my char a Native to the planet. I was thinking of an ancient alien that claims to be the 'Protector' of the Planet. Not really protecting the Monsters, but more like nature in general. He will be all about hunting since that is Nature, but poaching, slaughtering the creatures, and the like he is not down with. Also keeping inline the population, kinda like my original idea. I want to make him REALLY alien tho. Has that neato alien tech and maybe some sort of ability with nature. Nothing to crazy of course. Is their a separate alien CS?

[Lmpkio]

@Thecrash20 If you want to make an alien species, yes we have a specific sheet for that.

Pete McAllister and Charlotte

Name: Pete McAllister
Species:

Homo Sapiens

Age:
23

Gender:
Male

Height:
6 foot five inches tall
Weight:
220 pounds

Personality:
Pete is oddly cheerful for having grown up in such an ugly place like Hephaestus. He always seems to be whistling a happy tune and does not seem to see the horror in walking around with a gigantic spider the size of a small pony. It is just a normal day for him to walk around with her. Pete always has a joke or a pun to use. Pete's cheerful attitude seems to fade away as soon as he is on the hunt. He becomes all business while he is after his prey. He kills without remorse or care. Pete learned the hard way that certain creatures need to die to protect others. He spent his life on a colony while everything wanted him dead and thus he knows how to kill should he need to. However, he has never truly left his home system. There is a whole galaxy out there and Pete wants to see it all. This is his first time away from home and it definitely shows.

History:
Peter McAllister came from an old Hephaestus' family. His grandparents were some of the fist colonists on world. The McAllister's were a family of leaders and they were mine administrators by trade. Thus they were rich and powerful. His father saw them as better than their neighbors and that they were above them all. Pete had never liked that and would do anything to get out. When he was five years old, Pete wandered away from the colony towards the nearby spider cave. A search party was sent out to make sure that the flying beasts had not killed him. When they found Pete four hours later, he was safely in the caves surrounded by spiderlings. In typical spider manner, they had taken another two legged hairless spider into the caves where he belonged. From that day onward, Pete had become obsessed with the spiders. His grandmother had been a Corp Hunter and Pete wanted to be one for years. His father disagreed and tried to keep his son on the path of becoming an administrator like him. In secret, Pete was getting lessons from an old retired Hunter on the ways of Spider Hunting. When he was ten, Pete bonded with a young female spider than he named Charlotte after an old Earth book he had read. The pair where always walking the streets and Pete would read to his spider. For years, Pete wanted to join the Corp of Hunters but his father refused. Pete finally got his wish at the age of fifteen when a Terror Bird (one of the largest and most dangerous predators on the planet) started snatching colonist children to eat. Pete didn't hesitate in grabbing Charlotte and his mentor's rifle to go after the beast.

For four days, Pete was just gone. His entire family mourned his death by burring his boots in the spider caves as custom stated. However on the seventh day, sentries on the wall noticed Pete and Charlotte dragging the corpse of the 550 pound flying lizard on a makeshift sled. Pete had taken the beast down with a shit between the two armored plates near its eyes. His father agreed on the spot to let Pete join the Corp of Hunters to defend the settlements. Now, Pete seeks adventure elsewhere. His skills are good enough to leave his homeworld but he knows he has to come back some day.
Weapons/Supplies:

• H-34A Hunting Carbine- This is the weapon given to every Hunter on the Hephaestus Colony. Desgined by the corporation to defend the colonists since soldiers are expensive. It is extremely accurate since it was designed to deal with flying targets that plague the colony. There are bullets that can be switched in other than the standard rounds. The explosive bullet is designed to take out the brain of the target or to expose the fleshy bits on a armored target. The other type would be the shock ammo. Designed to knock the prey out, however it requires direct hit on the flesh of the target to work and most creatures can power through it.
• 324A Mountain Assist Tool- The colony was next to impossible to climb by yourself. The spiders were the only ones who could climb, so the Corp gave the Hunter Corp the 324A MAT to help them keep up with their long legged friends. The tool is designed to grapple onto the hard rock cliffs of the planet and hold up to 650 pounds. Should need be, it could carry a hunter and his or her partner up a 1,500 cliff to safety. Every duo keeps at least one of these gizmos. It can drill into hard rock and with the right changes it can be used on metal. Pete does not have the magnetic attachment.
• Sitra Hunting Knife- A wicked piece of work that is designed to defend the hunter should one of the beasts gets it's claws on him or her. It is designed to fit through the armor plating of most of the creature. (The First one)
• Standard Hunter Gear- As a former of the Hunter Corp, Pete was given a standard issued armor set. The suit is designed to be able to keep the hunter alive in the hostile environment of the colony. It is not power armor but it helps with dealing with the giant birds of the planet. It has a filtration system built in to help the hunter breath the cold air or filter out toxins. It's main feature is to cushion the fall from high heights. The planet has large falls and the suit can cushion falls up to 300 feet. it still hurts the hunter on the fall. The suit can also interface with the spider's electronic suite. Pete can see whatever Charlotte sees through a camera.
• Charlotte's armor- Hunter partners are given armor to protect the fleshy parts of their abdomen. The main use of the armor to keep the two partners connected. A head mounted camera allows the hunter to be able to watch his partner from wherever she is. There is an attached microphone so Pete can give orders from a distance of about half a kilometer. However this all depends on the conditions on the planet. The armor is not impenetrable but it is designed to help keep the spider alive while the hunter goes in for the kill. The corporation learned the hard way to give the Hunters exactly what they wanted.

Misc:
Pete rarely sleeps in a bed like a normal person. His idea of a good sleep spot is lying on Charlotte or wrapped up in one of her webs. Most people would find this horrifying but Pete loves it. He has slept upside down and on the side of a cliff without fear. Pete can sleep anywhere. He also keeps a collection of books which he reads to Charlotte since that was how children learned to read on his homeworld. The Spiders never judged you if you said something wrong. It is also common to see him having one sided conversations with her. Pete seemingly can read his partners moods to guess what she is thinking.

Pete has a tattoo of a rifle crossed with a spider and a rifle with the Latin "Socios Belli" under it. Every hunter on his planet has the tattoo once they join the Corp.

Pete has a necklace of a 8 inch long tooth hanging from his neck. It is clearly a prized possession of his.

@Lmpkio
And my guy is done. I might change the armor though. I designed it to survive being thrown from a long height. I also might make a sheet for my planet I made. Lot's a flying things to fight for a challenge.
I also might add a weapon or two more. Something for melee range.

[Lmpkio]

@Avanhelsing Looks good. Accepted.
