Monster Busters

Monster Busters is an organization dedicated to the study of cryptozoology, as well as paranormal/supernatural, extraterrestrial, mythology, folklore, etc. It is an actual ROBLOX group, and all the lore below is connected to the actual group.

Background Info
Monster Busters was formed in 1957, by Zoologist Cornelius White, who after discovering the existence of certain cryptids, wished to protected them. The original name of the organization was never known, but it always went under the guise of "Monster Busters", a silly nickname that acted as a coverup for the organization's secretive work. A Headquarters for the organization had been constructed three years after the founding of the organization, in 1960.

In 1969, Tiger White, Cornelius White's son, was born. Tiger White would act as Cornelius' successor to the organization in years to come.

In 1985, Cornelius White had leased Isla Oculta ("Hidden Island") from the Costa Rican government, beating InGen, a paleogenetics company, to the punch. Cornelius White planned to use this island both as a safehaven for captive cryptid assets, as well as a facility to research the behavior and life of the said cryptids.

A year later, as Cornelius would start to slowly drift into his old age, Tiger White, then 17, would go on many expeditions for the organization, alongside his best friend and fellow member Adarius Cliffe. Their expeditions go on throughout the 80's.

Eventually, in 1992, Cornelius White would pass away, with his son, Tiger, taking his place as the Monster Busters Leader. The organization begins to flourish under his lead, but after a recent falling out, Adarius Cliffe leaves the organization.

In 1995, Michael Goldhirsch, a Senior Cryptozoologist and Physicist under Monster Busters, would mysteriously disappear - presumably dying - during an expedition to the Bermuda Triangle, leaving his wife, Nora Goldhirsch, a widow.

In early 1996, Nora Goldhirsch would give birth to Zachary Goldhirsch, but would die of childbirth due to complications within the hospital room, immediately making the newborn Zach an orphan.

Four years later, at the start of the new century, John Ferrison would be born to a wealthy family, consisting primarily of pharmacists.

Meanwhile, throughout the 2000's, Monster Busters would make many grand discoveries, such as a preserved UFO frozen within the ice within Iceland.

In 2013, 17-year-old Zach Goldhirsch would have his first cryptozoological encounter, which greatly altered the course of his life. He had been hunting Water buffalo in Australia, alongside a small group of young Aboriginal men, when the group had come upon a small herd, when all of a sudden, to Zach's complete disbelief, a living theropod dinosaur, known to the Aboriginis as a "Burrunjor", would ambush the herd, as well as killing all of the Aboriginal men alongside him, leaving Zach as the sole survivor. The memory had been scarred into Zach's brain, but it completely changed his perspective of reality, making him wonder what many more mysteries the world hid. This encounter also made him wish to become a paleontologist.

Shortly after word of his encounter got out, Zach had temporarily been detained and interviewed by the Monster Busters organization, who questioned about the details of his encounter. The same day, Tiger White would fully incorporate Zach into the organization, introducing him fully to the world of cryptozoology.

10 years later, Zach and John would meet each other through Analytical Research Laboratories, a biotechnological company owned by Red Arado. By that point, Zach had been a high-ranking member of the Monster Busters organization, having been a Senior Cryptozoologist and the Head of Security. It wouldn't be long afterwards that John would be guided to join Monster Busters after opening up to Zach about an encounter with a Sasquatch and a pack of Dogmen.

Together, Zach and John would lead many expeditions, alongside the "gang", a group of Monster Busters members that happened to be friends of the two. This would assist John in quickly rising through the ranks, until eventually reaching close to Zach's high status. Shortly after, Zach would be promoted to the Head Cryptozoologist, as well as the Director of Security. Tiger White would gift him a pair of golden .454 "Raging Bull" Taurus revolvers as a reward for reaching his high status. He was technically the second-in-command of the organization by that point.

Unfortunately, Tiger White had started to go mentally insane, presumably from all the tramautic experiences he had endured during his time with the organization. However, White was self-aware of his newfound insanity, and quickly gave control of the organization to Zach and John, deeming them President and CEO respectively. He'd disappear afterwards, with his body being recovered from a river 2 months afterwards.

Zach and John would become strong and assertive leaders over the organization, ordering a new Headquarters to be built within Northeast Illinois. Zach and John's rise to power over the organization would send it into a new era, known as the "Reborn" era. Expeditions had slowed down greatly, but were not ceased entirely. Construction of the new Headquarters would finish near the end of 2025.

Following the completion of the Headquarters, John, who had been the A.R.L. leader by then, would have troubles maintaining the responsibilities of keeping track of Monster Busters and A.R.L. at the same time. He'd contact Adarius Cliffe, who was still alive. Adarius Cliffe rejoined the organization, and acted as a figurehead CEO of A.R.L. in John's place.

Coinciding with the revival of the I.B.R.I.S. (Integrated Behavioral Raptor Intelligence Study) program, Monster Busters would form a program of their own for Chupacabra assets. Zach would launch an expedition in New Mexico, which would successfully result in recovering a mother Chupacabra and her litter. The mother would be released back into the wilds of New Mexico after the litter no longer needed to rely on her, and the litter would be trained under this program.

However, the Reborn era would come to an abrupt end. The creation of a rogue group of employees, a superhybrid known as "Specimen-032012", would escape from its chambers and wreak havoc upon the Headquarters, killing many of the organization's members and assets, primarily the Chupacabra assets, alike. The captive Ahools would go rogue, also killing some of the members, before escaping into the wilds of Illinois. Zach's fiancee, Jessica Whitley, would also be violently killed by the superhybrid abomination. After the events of what later became known as the "Aftermath", the organization would be shut down, going into hiatus for 2 years while Zach and John suffered the consequences, mentally and physically.

During the time of the hiatus, Zach would once again pick up on a bad habit of depressed drinking and suicidal behavior, all while undergoing therapy, as well as receiving help from John, who had isolated himself in his rented cabin in Utah.

After mutually recovering in 2028, Zach and John agreed to once more revive the organization, hiring many new members, bringing the organization once more into a new era, known as the "Animal Investigative Agency" era. Once more, a new Headquarters would be constructed within Northeast Illinois, within the proximity of the Great Lakes, and approximately 120 miles away from the location of the previous Headquarters. As of currently, the organization is proceeding to go on many expeditions, and is once more very prosperous.

Trivia

 * Monster Busters was created in ~2011 by whitetigerzrule1 on ROBLOX. His lore character, "Tiger White", is wordplay on his username.
 * President Zach Goldhirsch is very loosely based off of Dr. Zachary Wallace from Steve Alten's novel series "The Loch". However, the only things they have in common are the name and fascination in the Loch Ness Monster.
 * "Specimen-032012", also known as the Lakeside Monster, is a reference to my old ROBLOX account and my Wikia username, TheLakesideMonster. "032012" is a reference to when I first joined Monster Busters, in March 2012.
 * Each of the raptor names are based off of the NATO phonetic alphabet, with the exception of Indigo's name, which replaces the telephonic term for I, "India".
 * The Chupacabras named "Hawkeye" and "Hunnicut" are references to Richard Hooker's 1970 media franchise M*A*S*H, more specifically the characters Captain B.J. Hunnicut and Captain Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce.
 * Monster Busters takes place in an alternate Jurassic Park Universe, alongside Analytical Research Laboratories, where all the films (and short films), excluding Jurassic World: Dominion, are canon.
