Xzephanjklix the unspoken

Xzephanjklix was originally a peaceful hunter on his obscure world. One day bright lights were seen over his village - slave trader ships from the Omicon syndicate. He was abducted along with his entire village and sold into slavery. Xzephanjklix spent several years in bondage, forced to work in the orbiting asteroid mines, until a freak accident left him paralyzed. Never one to waste resources, the Omicon syndicate sold him to the Intergalactic Gladiator Federation.

Xzephanjklix awoke to find himself altered beyond recognition, his body grafted with a dozen parts of other species. He now battles for survival against other gladiators in the IGF ranks. Each fighter is forced to sign a contract for one hundred battles, of which if he survives he wins the ultimate prize - his freedom.

Vampires

The undead come in many shapes and sizes, but no myths are so prevalent than that of Vampires. Such creatures as these which prey upon the blood or life force of the living can be found in the folklore of nearly all peoples, and allowing for cultural differences describe nearly the same thing: A person who dies under mysterious circumstances, who then returns from the grave to torment and prey upon former friends and relatives. The standard Vampire of popular culture is inspired loosely from Eastern European tradition, and takes the form of an immortal youth, beautiful but pale, weakly looking but supernaturally strong, who perishes in direct sunlight and must consume blood to survive.

Are Vampires real? Of the supernatural variety sadly not, although there are real life medical conditions which may have contributed to the myth.

A strange breed of multidimensional cat which can hypnotize with it's glance. These felines are highly intelligent, and live in a ritualistic, regimented society based on honor and tradition.

A 200 foot tall mutation due to the result from an experimental insecticide created by the Phollox corporation, the monster known as Gigamantis ravaged the cities of the American west coast for months on end.

Phollox brand insecticide has since been banned.

Soul Stealers are are hideous, incredibly strong, super zombies, but instead of craving the flesh of the living they feed from their victim's soul.
