That pyro is an arch-vile!
They want to help their respective teams but the road to hell is paved with good intentions. They control fire (all Doom games), resurrect dead bodies (old Doom games, was supposed to be in Doom 3 but replaced with spawning in more monsters) and can teleport (Doom 3).
Both childlike and very evil,
innocently. They see violence, pain, death and resurrection as a fun game. Thematically in line with ‘Meet the pyro’.
- Ever notice how Arch-viles use the Pyro’s hadoken taunt animation for their flame attack in Doom3?
- Ever notice how one of the Pyro’s taunts is called “Armageddon”?
Arch-viles use sin of the innocent font for subtitles because two synthetic child’s voices are reversed and deepened. References the Arch-viles death sound from the original Doom. A young girl saying why? deepened and reversed.
Spells use Witching hour font
- Comprised of one word
- Eg: fire, burn, Resurrect, Rise, DEATH, LIFE, Serve, offer, obey
Arch-viles have no gender, genitals, or distinguishing sexual characteristics.
- A shout out to the internet intrigue over Pyro’s gender.
- Arch-viles are uniform, cannot grow or change
Theme music is Doom_2_Blood_Bath_OC_ReMix by Mazedude
"This is one seriously evil mix - it starts off innocently enough with a charmingly delicate bell and piano motif, but don't take that as any sort of indicator of things to come, as Chris builds from there, layer by layer, piece by piece, bringing in rock drums, awesome synth effects, a mean+ugly synth bass with some serious attitude, choir, menacing organ that would make Castlevania proud, and ever- increasing volume. This is intense, jugular-grabbin' stuff that doesn't let up or let you go for a second, so be prepared for a sonic journey into one ReMixer's vision of the underworld, id style. The processed guitar and flammed drum bits later on are just some of the juicy details that - importantly - you can hear amidst the chaos. Also, dig the chromatic rise just before the ending, which is softer but still resolves with menace hanging in the air."
