Doom Slayers are a warrior race from a plane that had once had been free from all grasps of the Hells, in fact they were feared by those creatures due to their powerful combat regenerative abilities magical resistances, and fearsome fury in combat. However, through catastrophic betrayal their plane has been destroyed and their numbers and "customs" are nearing extinction. Now they dwell in all planes seeking revenge onto those who wronged them and their ire is recognized by all demons in an almost instinctual nature based survival mechanism.
Their natural hate and eradication of hellish creatures also make Doom Slayers respected in the eyes of the Lawful Gods, righteous characters, Angels of the lawful nature, and the other dominant races of the heavens. It is known that as long as you have never wronged a Dooom Slayer, then you can expect them to walk right past you.
Doom slayers are usually human, but they can be of any race of medium-sized creature. Doom Slayers may be found wandering far in any plane for several reasons. Whatever their purpose, it is somehow tied to vengeance and works towards a greater purpose.

Doom Slayer, Variant[edit]
- Blinding righteous hatred flows through your body, so permeable it is palpable. Your vengeance reaches to the core of every demon, as when you stride the ethereal planes the residencies of the planes of Hell shutter with terror.
Creating a Doom Slayer[edit]
A Doom Slayer originates from a plane that has been destroyed by either Hell or some evil group/type of beings. A doom slayer is fueled by vengeance and hatred. They are usually very quiet. Even the most talkative among them speaks with few words, if they decide to speak at all. All Doom Slayers have a single goal in mind. They will never side with someone they hate and detest cruelty against innocence (which can provoke any slayer to step in with gruesome consequences for the offender).
