The Lore feature - Rivensin mod for Doom III

They walk along the sands of time and through the realms of man, the divine and the damned. Ruiners are the heralds of death. they serve her in keeping life & death true. For no being, no matter how powerful, shall break free of their eternal resting place. Nor shall dead souls walk among men. In breaking these ancient binds, the scale of life and death will tilt and cause catastrophic events through out all realms.

Ruiners follow their own path and are not influenced by what one might view as right or wrong. Even if the fugitive’s reason is for a great and noble cause, they must be punished for defiance.

Each one is granted unique gifts beyond that of normal men. By channeling collected essence, they are able to create telekinetic shields, levitate objects, & enchant weapons that would be useless to anyone else. Their most empowering talent is being able to create and forge Zeranium. This is the very same metal used to create gates between the realms. It is indestructible and able to harm even the strongest of dead souls. Ruiners have been known to forge a variety of arms including swords, axes, and even fire arms powered by telekinetic energy.

Their supernatural abilities derive from collecting dead souls and the essence of the recently deceased. For without this feast, they will perish into dust and drift into realm of the lost for all eternity.

Unforgiving and relentless, the Ruiner known as Scarlet Rivensin travels to realm of the damned in search of a divine spirit which was captured by those of the flesh for a purpose yet to be revealed. How this divine spirit escaped his plane and what led to her capture is unknown even by the all seeing eyes of Death. Regardless of what the intents or the reasons may be, Rivensin must find this lost soul and cast judgment upon the heavenly body and anything in her path.
