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.

Black Shuck

Hideous demon dogs from English folklore. They are usually described as oversized dogs (in some instances, as large as a horse) with glowing red or green eyes. Their step is supposed to scorch the ground. It is rare for the devil dog to actually harm anyone, but those who witness the beast will shortly come to an untimely end.

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.

Phallegelliliac

A race evolved from small parasites. On their home world the Phallegellilans live in gigantic bio-cities, which are genetically engineered from the massive whale-like creatures within whose intestinal tract they evolved. They feed primarily by sucking fluids from the walls of their bio-city. Phallegellians spend most of their lives indoors, and many display symptoms of Agoraphobia when outside.

Scraphaites - "Screamers"

Scraphaites are short aliens, with stout, roundish bodies. They are nicknamed "Screamers" by human beings because their main method if communication tends to be continuous screaming at the top of their lungs. In general, Scraphaites lack subtly and nuance, and say what they think without regard to hurting one's feelings.

Aranaphite

Aranaphites are short, semi-humanoids descended from insects. Unlike other insect based species they are solitary creatures, only socializing with others in order to breed. Aranaphites originate on an obscure world from a continent covered with jungles, where they make lairs in shallow caves along the jungle floor. There are however "civilized" Aranaphites in the galaxy proper, who usually find work as bounty hunters, mercenaries, or assassins for hire.

Hypno-Cat


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. As they are multidimensional entities, their cat-like appearance is more due to a limitation on how humans perceive them than their actual morphology.
