The Ruined - Enemy Idea

Any and all ideas welcome to add/improve this idea for an enemy Due to a fair number of people having problems with the name... Here (Previous name: The Riven) Image found by: flaming shirukn [b]The Ruined[/b] The Ruined - an alien race forged of some kind of energy. These "wisps" as Guardians call them came from unknown reaches of space and are believed to be heavily tied to the Darkness. Decrypted reports from the other alien species show that The Ruined have never been seen before by any race, but every race fears them. The terms "run", "retreat", "evacuate", and "scatter" are all littered throughout any transmission involving them. The warlocks have yet to determine if what makes up the wisps is matter or something else. At most, the warlocks sent a suicide squad in to get scans of one of the masses in a broken Golden Age ship floating between the Venus and Earth. One ghost returned with everything they could collect and a solid description for future guardian encounters: [i]"Their bodies pulse to a unified beat, their black bodies always morphing. Arms slide off and become legs as they move, legs then becoming arms. They seem to have a set three legs at all times, but they never touch the ground. Any physical action with something solid caused the solid to erode. They float like spirits as they meander around the ship. They seem to have faces, no set number of eyes, but anywhere from 1 to 6 at any time.[/i] - long pause - [i]A massive one just moved through, dropping smaller ones behind it. This one... Hulker, we will call it, is just disturbing. No eyes, but a smile... A white smile, broken and slanted as if knowing where we are."[/i] The rest of the ghost's report is purely the screams of those guardians being "absorbed by the wisps" as the ghost said. A Titan was brought in from a visit to a conflict on Venus that had the Fallen in a frenzy. He sat down and reported: [i]"I watched the Fallen's body parts get split as this smoke of something soaked into their bodies. It raised twenty or so Fallen into the air before forming one entity and all the Fallen fell to the ground, lifeless. The figure formed a flowing figure of the condensed smoke and moved towards me. I never ran as fast as I did... It was like a Reaper coming for me..."[/i] The Fallen fear of the Ruined is unclear. All reports seem to shift into a familiar tone, one that leads the Vanguards to believe that the wisps once brought the Fallen down to where they currently lie, in the rubble of a great empire, and now they fear it will happen to an even worse effect. The Hive know many dark powers, gods included, but faith has yet to show them any kindness when referring to the Ruined. Hive see them as equals in motive, but superiors in power and right to rule. They fear servitude or obliteration for being in the Ruined's way. The Vex fear them, because they have no biomass. They aren't living, but they live. They defy the Vex's knowledge of how life has been, is, and will be in the universe. The Ruined are pure and merciless evil that don't even grace the ground with their presence, and the Vex see this. The Cabal know their strategies and military movements well, and they know them well enough to know they won't work on the Ruined. Constant chatter of their movement has cause the Blind Legion to begin developing making a new ranking of Cabal to deal with the rising threat. Their main fear, losing to something they can't touch. Classes - Killing these is still a question of, "If?" [b]Markers[/b] - Half-guardian sized and quick, the Markers do no physical damage to a target. However, they zoom around like flies, fast and illusive. Be wary, Guardians, for when one passed through you, your light is suppressed and you are now a target for the rest of the Ruined's ranks. [b]Seekers[/b] - Guardian sized, Seekers follow the scent left by Markers, and they do it well. Once marked, there is very little time before these masses of death have moved upon you to devour you and you light. [b]Hulkers[/b] - Larger than life, Hulkers are the bases to a Ruined battalion. They are slow for most of a fight, and release other Ruined as they move. However, watch for their distinct smile, because it is then when they charge their enemies during a battle. [b]Takers[/b] - Between the Seekers and Hulkers in size, this beasts are the ones who earn their title by taking lives. Takers often form into a light fog that can be navigated through. Once inside, the Takers begin to re-condense, lifting targets into the air as they do so until the light is squeezed completely out of their victims.
