* SpaceMarine

to:

* SpaceMarineNamedInTheSequel: This is the first game to give ''Doom''’s protagonist a name, although the simple name of “Doom” wouldn’t stick; later games in his series, as well as ''VideoGame/QuakeChampions'', would christen him the Doom Slayer.

Manual information for Pi and Fritzie

Added DiffLines:

->''"During Earth's Second World War, Fritzkrieg was a brutal and deadly member of the German army. When the Vadrigar claimed him, however, they were a second too late. Instead of a healthy new warrior for the Arena Eternal, they found themselves in possession of a handful of shattered corpses-all that remained after an Allied shell had torn apart Fritzkrieg and his companions. Undaunted, they pieced together the intact elements of the various bodies to form a horrific collage of flesh and blood-with a mind as shattered as the bodies it had once occupied."''


Added DiffLines:

->''"A proud and determined woman, Pi can trace her ancestry back to the Viking raiders of old. As a space fighter test pilot, she developed nerves of steel and reflexes the equal of any veteran gladiator. She died when her experimental Valkyrie interceptor plunged into the icy surface of Europa. Generations later, scientists recovered the frozen remains of her corpse and reanimated it, replacing the mangled flesh and crushed organs with cybronic implants. If she was deadly before, she's almost unstoppable now."''

Character descriptions from the digital manual!





->''"Once, she was Doom's military instructor. Now the Arena Eternal tests Crash's mettle to the extreme-extreme patience, that is. She is the trainer who introduces new warriors to the skills of battle."''






->''"Originally a slipgate explorer, the man called Ranger has faced and escaped certain death a thousand times on a thousand worlds. His experiences have left him more alien than human now."''



->''"An experienced veteran, he led the invasion of the demon-haunted tunnels of Phobos. There, he was betrayed by superiors who thought they could learn more from watching him die than by studying his reports."''



->''"Fashion model, master assassin, or adult entertainer: Which is the real Mynx? She's part viper, part black widow, and all woman."''



->''"Designed by the Vadrigar to monitor combat in the arena, Orbb evolved beyond his specifications and became a deadly combatant."''



--> '''Voiced by:''' Richard Ridings

to:

--> '''Voiced ->''"A grizzled combat veteran with plenty of scars to prove it, Sarge is the master of modern warfare. He's clever, determined, and deadly."''
-->'''Voiced
by:''' Richard Ridings






->''"This hero of the Strogg War may also be its most tragic victim. While a captive on Stroggos, vile experiments transformed his flesh into something both far more and far less than human."''



->''"A mentally shattered veteran of the invasion of Stroggos, Private Nathan Grunt is still fighting a war that ended years ago."''



->''"Easily mistaken for a big, clumsy oaf, Hossman is a deadly opponent whose agility is a match for his fearsome strength."''



->''"The bounty hunter, Daemia, long ago stopped caring who or what was in her sights. Enemies are enemies whether they're human, alien, or demons from the pits of hell."''



->''"When her village on Tau Ceti was decimated by the Sorg, Hunter vowed to seek out and destroy the reptiloids wherever they might hide."''






->''"Born in the breeder tank of a genetics lab and nurtured in a cybronics workshop, Gorre was created to be the ultimate warrior...at least in his own mind."''



->''"Wrack is a shell-shocked Slipgate War veteran who relives countless battles through a haze of imagined glories, half-remembered facts, and exaggerated personal abilities."''



->''"Although certainly not a classical beauty, Angel was created by a sculptor to be his ideal companion. She quickly proved herself to be a creature of hate, not love-killing her maker in a berserk fury."''



->''"A young force-blade punk from the streets of Los Angeles, Slash became a test bed for the hottest cybronic implants, turning her into a barely-contained bundle of energy."''



->''"Half religious zealot, half gifted mystic and all bizarre alien, Klesk cleanses his soul with the purifying fire of combat."''






->''"A former prison guard, Lucy crossed the line and ended up on the other side of the bars where every hour was a battle for survival."''



->''"The spawn of a human Tank Commander and an Iron Maiden of Stroggos, Tankjr is a sadistic bio-tech nightmare."''



->''"Biker is crude and coarse: a bully who gets his kicks out of hammering helpless opponents. He may not be smart or brave, but he's brutal as hell."''



->''"A twisted combination of cybronic implants and supernatural powers, Patriot is a throwback to the days of nationalism-before mankind found other enemies among the stars."''



->''"Always seeking an edge, this cyber-board surfer paid with his humanity for a seemingly endless array of cybronic implants."''






->''"Visor is an enigma who says nothing about his past, letting his weapons do all his talking for him."''



->''"During a time of civil unrest on Earth, Razor and his gang of vigilante followers enforced a rigid, brutal code of justice in the Pacific Northwest. Razor never admits defeat and shows no mercy in defense of order."''




->''"Raised on the mean streets of a post-apocalyptic city, Stripe avoided crime and drugs by being tougher than the gangs and pushers."''



->''"Lance Corporal Ben Keel died during the Spiker Insurrection-only to be revived as a humanoid battle machine by scientists experimenting with captured alien biotechnology."''



->''"For untold eons, Mankind has known and feared Uriel's diabolical kind. The aura of evil and death hanging around this gladiator is enough to send a chill down the spine of any opponent."''






->''"This fearsome foe showcases the powers of the Vadrigar, for it has no true life of its own. But it begs the question: Where do the gibs and blood come from??"''



->''"Cadavre is a brutal murderer who couldn't be executed. The electric chair, gallows, and gas chamber only made him meaner."''



->''"Long after everyone else on Phobos was dead, he kept fighting, determined to send out a warning to Earth before the demons could claim him."''



->''"This mercenary Sorg merchant long ago resolved to do whatever it took to get ahead, no matter how many others had to die in order to line her coffers."''




->''"A veteran of the Stroggos campaign, Major Wayland is haunted by the memories of her fallen troops and the parasites that killed them. It may be that she believes she's still fighting that long-concluded war."''






->''"The most dangerous enemy in the arena, Xaero embraces honorable death. He longs for the day when he will meet the opponent who frees him from the shackles of life eternal-if such a warrior exists."''

* MythologyGag: As the PlayerCharacter of ''VideoGame/QuakeII'', he makes some references to his adventures in that game:
** When he ends last in the ranking:
--> ''"Don't push me, <player>. I've been to hell and back, and back I'll be!"''
--> ''"I've seen tougher, killed 'em too."''



* MythologyGag: He does a few callbacks to his original series, like Bitterman:
--> (When fragging someone with the Railgun) ''"'[[ICallItVera Old Betsy]]' still works like a charm."''
--> (When fragging someone with a Gauntlet) ''"Beats a hand blaster any day."''[[note]]The hand blaster is the starting infinite weapon in VideoGame/QuakeII[[/note]]



* ShoutOut:
--> ''"I'm a [[Music/TheWho pinball wizard]], <player>."''
--> ''"Caramba! I've just enrolled in the [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadrunner WILE E.]] School of Stupidity."''



* ShoutOut: When killed by a Railgun, she drops this one:
--> ''"[[Literature/NineteenEightyFour Ever get the feeling you're being watched?]]"''



* MythologyGag: The offspring of a Tank and an Iron Maiden, referencing the EasterEgg at the final level of ''VideoGame/QuakeII''.



* ShoutOut:
--> ''"You just stepped on the [[Music/{{ACDC}} highway to hell]], <player>."''
* TakeThat: After he dies because of falling damage:
--> ''"[[EvelKnievel Them Kneivel]] boys ain't got nothin' on me."''



* ShoutOut:
--> ''"I feel the VideoGame/NeedForSpeed. Road trip on the cyber-highway!"''



* ShoutOut:
--> ''"[[TheChargeOfTheLightBrigade Into the valley of death rode the six hundred!]]"''
--> ''"This <player>'s BadToTheBone?"''
--> ''"[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries I'm dead Jim.]]"''
--> ''"[[Franchise/StarshipTroopers It is a good day to die]]."''
--> ''"[[Music/{{Metallica}} Ashes to ashes, dust to dust]]."''
--> ''"Is my brother [[Series/TheXFiles Skully]] still hangin' around in the training level?"''



* MythologyGag: He sprouts many lines referencing [[VideoGame/{{Doom}} his original series]]:
--> (When a match ends with him not being first or last) ''"Over? [[GenreBlind I haven't found the blue key card yet!]]"''
--> (When last in a match) ''"I was last once before, and a whole planet paid the price."''
--> (When dying for lava) ''"I've been to hell once ... kinda felt like this."''[[note]]Perhaps a reference to the infamous final level of ''Doom II''?[[/note]]
--> (When dying for slime) ''"Shouldn't this stuff be in barrels!?!"''
--> (When being killed by a BFG) ''"That toy ain't no BFG."''
--> (When killed with a Gauntlet) ''"Need... Berserk Pack... must... have... Berserk Pack!"''
--> ''"[[ComicallyMissingThePoint Where's the freakin' red key card?]]"''
