The arsenal
`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'

Starting weapons:

Tiger Fangs
@@@@@@@@@@@

The ninjutsu equivalent of marine knuckledusters, these fang-provided bracers can highlight your ninjutsu skills.
Hold primary fire to quickly dispatch a series of low jabs, then release to complete the combo.
When a berserk is acquired, a single press lets you deliver a devastating palm flurry that progressively increases in speed
and culminates in an energy-stealing 'Tiger Charge'. Its blows retain a higher stunning chance against foes.
ALTERNATE ATTACK: quickly thrust away any front-facing opponent.

Stalker Darts (AKA Bo-Shuriken)
@@@@@@@@@@@@@

You start off with five handfuls of these darts, with which you can score mutiple deadly _stealth_ shots
at a distance. Remember to recollect them (whenever possible) once they stop against a wall and fall off on ground.
ALTERNATE ATTACK: dispatch one handful forever, in the form of never-exhausting caltrops. Perfect against zombies.

Grip Bombs
@@@@@@@@@@

Staple of the modern shinobi arsenal, when activated these bombs expose metallic claws that allow pinning them
to any surface. Their detonation power is remarkable, and their blast radius has effect even on the largest foes.
Perfect for setting up terrible traps for the enemy, but quite hard to find in packs.
ALTERNATE ATTACK: exploit the hidden smoke bomb functionality embedded in any of these devices, for a stylish escape!

Additional weapons:

Katana
@@@@@@

The signature melee weapon for many shinobi warriors, the katana shall become your preferred one for close combat.
Quickly use primary fire to deliver a potentially-endless sequence of deadly slashes.
ALTERNATE ATTACK: tap the trigger to deliver a quick direct slash, continuing with a powerful reverse counter
                  that will make foes' heads fly away.

'Oppressor' automatic shotgun
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Introducing the range of hi-tech firearms available to our peculiar shinobi incarnation is a powerful double-barreled,
belt-fed shotgun. Each round sports roughly twice the power of a normal pump-action, yet the spread is greater.
Can be used quite effectively in full-auto mode for crowd control.
ALTERNATE ATTACK: fire each barrel independently in full belt-fed fashion.

'Violator' assault rifle
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Another versatile firearm granted to the modern ninjutsu raider, and the one you will probably 'wear' the most
when scouring around new territories. The primary trigger fires 10-gauge bullets at a steady pace - minor threats
are taken down in a couple shots. While the alternate trigger controls the attached grenade launcher to lob
an explosive projectile that explodes upon first contact - the ideal tool to match greater foes at short range...
ALTERNATE ATTACK: propel a grenade from the underneath barrel.

'Hunter' heat seeker
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

A highly-portable, powerful missile launcher with a special controller system: hold the fire trigger to force the
just-fired missile to travel in a straight line, or release it to activate the heat-seeking mode.
ALTERNATE ATTACK: unleash three kamikaze missiles, let them do the work for you.
                  Just make sure you have enough room for such an attack...

'Ignitor' propane flamethrower
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Now this is a force to be reckoned with. This next-level flamethrower sports an excellent price-performance
ratio: it delivers a stream of glowing gas making the most out of every single propane unit - former humans
are literally vaporized by its flames. Perfect for any kind of encounter in close-to-mid quarters, but
be careful not to engulf yourself in your own fire!
A killer against former humans, but decidedly less so against hellspawn.
ALTERNATE ATTACK: unleash a partially-combusted stream of liquid fuel that tears better through flesh.

'Polarizer' experimental lightning cannon
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

A potentially-unbeatable weapon, if not for its prototypical status (that prevents it from dealing the most
effective damage on any occasion). Press fire, wait for its systems to get ready and point it to the
nearest target: the burst of electricity coming out in a few seconds shall be attracted more or less randomly
by any nearby isolated mass concentration, and shall pass through it either folgorating or dismembering
its structure. Bio-robotic hellspawn suffer a curious amount of pain from this...
ALTERNATE ATTACK: project a deadly swarm of roaming charges - hold for a repeated effect.

Seppuku Symbol
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

The one and only magical artifact ever exploited by any shinobi, this is a strangely still-living heart organ
said to have been brutally ripped from a yurei by a supernatural and mysterious demonic creature.
Squeezing it leeches life essence from the wielder, but also grants him/her enough power to use the artifact:
by stinging it with a sharp or pointed object, the wielder can unleash a quick stream of violent power that
destroys anything on its trajectory.
Legend has it that the artifact conceals another powerful, untold ability...
ALTERNATE ATTACK: squeeze/un-squeeze the artifact to trigger it _at your own risk_.

powerups
`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'

A new set of powerups for the shinobi, each one identified by a different kanji symbol:

Yurei Kanji: "walk through projectiles..." (lasts 30 seconds)
@@@@@@@@@@@
This powerup makes you immune to projectiles, by granting the ability to walk straight through them.

Amaterasu Kanji: "reach higher..." (lasts 45 seconds)
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
This powerup doubles the average height of jumps you will be able to make.

Nin Kanji: "raid unnoticed..." (lasts 60 seconds)
@@@@@@@@@
This powerup shall make you almost disappear; only your silhouette will remain barely visible.

Iwanaga Kanji: "wait to regain life..." (lasts 60 seconds)
@@@@@@@@@@@@@
This powerup slowly pours extra life into your veins, curing you from battle wounds for a short time.

Oni Kanji: "overrun the enemy..." (lasts 30 seconds)
@@@@@@@@@
This powerup boosts your movement speed - you shall even be able to overrun your projectiles.

extras
`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'`-,'

WallJumping
@@@@@@@@@@@
Needless to say, a shinobi is known for legendary dexterity, speed and attitude to
stealth operations. Therefore, he/she can jump from wall to wall, gaining freshier
thrust from each surface contact and reaching unexpected places.

Infravision Goggles
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Any modern shinobi is granted one pair of portable infravision goggles. These can be
activated to zoom on distant targets in scarce light situations; however, they cannot
be used simultaneously with weapons.

Classes
%%%%%%%

Ninja Soldier: enhanced stamina and grappling capabilities. Average speed.
               Good resistance to fuzziness caused by excessive usage of health bonuses.

Shuno:         high speed and agility both when moving and grappling. Standard stamina.
               Weak resistance to the alcohol rate of bottled health bonuses.

Dr4c0 Shiborg: heavily-enhanced stamina and resilience capabilities. Normal speed.
               Can grapple with reduced agility, but otherwise also rely on its limited-range,
               autorecharging 'ThrusterWings' flight system.
               Immune to health bonuses' alcohol content.

Arsenal
%%%%%%%

Han-Kote:       hand-to-hand combat outfit, can be exploited for rapid sequences.
                Alternate fire throws grappling hook.
                Dramatically enhanced by Chi: faster, deadlier, life-absorbing.

Daito:          further-reaching katana sword, has greater attack power than Han-Kote.
                Can deflect incoming projectile attacks if timed correctly.
                Alternate fire absorbs a few stamina points from the wielder, to hurl
                three spiritual Hira-Shurikens that can inflict high damage, and have the
                effect of disorienting foes during their flight time.

Scouter:        rapid-fire assault rifle with low reloading time. Sports good accuracy on
                burst begin; accuracy can be enhanced by acquiring multiple Washi-No-Seishin.
                Alternate fire enables/disables the attached spotlight, when in need to
                patrol dark areas. 80-rounds magazine.

Autogun:        heavy double-barreled, semi-automatic shotgun with high power and large firing spread.
                Accuracy can be enhanced by acquiring multiple Washi-No-Seishin. Alternate fire
                can be used to perform a non-offending, high-pressure airshot to get propelled
                to elevated places (gun-jumping) - pointing towards ground gives the best results.
                12-shots magazine.

Propulsor:      fully-assisted rocket-propelling gun that can deploy automatic-seeking missiles.
                Alternate fire propels one missile in laser-guided mode (trajectory can be
                remote-controlled via laser pointer). 8-missiles loader.

Power Factory:  energy weapon that can project high-voltage charge accumulations at high speed;
                victims often suffer from short paralysis-by-electroshock phenomena upon hit
                (results may vary).
                Alternate fire generates a lightning stream that reroutes through all polarized
                bodies in medium-to-close proximity.

Thermal Cannon: incendiary weapon that can propel large masses of explosive, already-aflame material;
                all surrounding flammable bodies are normally set on fire upon shot impact.
                Alternate fire inverts the thermal cycle to produce a small-scale glaciation tide along
                the line of fire - this is lethal for most hellspawn. 150-units battery capacity
                before reloading.

Marvels
%%%%%%%

Dai-Kusari:        spiritual armor power: grants the protection level normally given to invulnerability.

Reiki:             deflection aura - deviates all incoming projectiles.

HenShin:           when used, projects a number of magical missiles all around, that turn any creature being hit
                   either into one Suidae or Galliformes representative - while not harmless, such targets
                   are definitely easier to kill. Can be carried along.

RyuJin No Sokkuri: invokes a dragon ally to fight at your side for a limited amount of time.
                   Can be carried along - two allies can be summoned at the same time.

Yoru No Kage:      grants temporary invisibility, speed, infravision; but the ability to walk through projectiles
                   without suffering any damage is its most remarkable effect. Can be carried along.

Washi No Seishin:  each instance being collected improves the absorber's firing accuracy with firearms.

Chi:               augments to extreme levels one's physical powers, albeit for a limited amount of time.
                   Hand combat abilities becomes faster, mightier, and health-absorbing.

Yin-Yang Sphere:   a large amount of stamina and shielding points.

Horrors
%%%%%%%

Former soldiers:  these possessed entities have no remembrance of their past human life.
                  They will just keep yelling at you and trying to kill you, each one with the methods
                  he/she knows best. Watch out for some of their hidden abilities, and most of all,
                  for the equipment they leave behind once you shoot them dead.

Chitinid:         a nefarious evolution of the former human state, the Chitinid is the deformed and
                  anonymized shape of the perfect hell soldier: an anthropomorphic reptile wielding a
                  fireball-hurling gun. Beware of the biomechanical heart they drop once they die -
                  it spreads one more wave of explosive fireballs all around, something that
                  you might exploit to your own advantage...

Mouth:            the worsened, faster and deadlier relative of the well-known bipedal demon.
                  A Mouth shall remain quiet - until disturbed. When met in overwhelming number,
                  try not to wake them up.

OniLich:          this flying undead warlock can wander silently and attack with a stream of
                  cursed energy missiles. Take him down as soon as possible before he fills the air
                  with his own magic - he is not very resilient to any specific attack anyway.

Volatile Soul:    a different breed of Lost Soul, it suicides by explosion once it has managed to
                  reach its target. Less durable but more damaging than usual.

Ubume:            as the bastard daughter of a fire elemental and a witch could turn out, this flaming banshee
                  can transpose herself around you in any direction continuously, by phasing out and in
                  to avoid you fire. She can summon Volatile Souls in her aid, and unleash fire attacks
                  of her own - plus, she will try to resurrect the corpses of your victims laying nearby.

Akkoro:           an horrendous Creature Of The Depths that can sometimes mimetize out of thin air,
                  the Akkoro is abominable to look at, but probably not as dangerous. He shall go down
                  without needing too many bullets, but beware of its ancient organic, ranged attack -
                  once it starts, it is definitely hard to stop.

OniTaur:          this is the grimy evolution of hell aristocracy. This creature can attack faster
                  than its ancestor, and also unleash a sentient, homing attack of spiritual energy.
                  Once you finally defeat him you have his head falling off!

Arch-Yurei:       while the OniTaur might appear as the recessive descendant of the Baron Of Hell, the
                  Arch-Yurei is decidedly the dominant one. He has great resilience to damage, and can exploit
                  a multitude of attacks, some of which will terminate you instantly.
                  Try to keep yourself at sufficient distance.

Octabus:          the Octabus is a degenerate mutation of the well-known Mancubus - it stays afloat and
                  fires a barrage of swirling incendiary projectiles. Try to attack at sufficient distance, and
                  when the monster explodes, be sure to take cover from the spread of its spiked, metallic guts.

Unlived:          this abominable degradation of the Revenant has actually lost its heatseeker pods, but
                  in order to compensate for the worse, it has also gained incredible strength and speed...
                  And a vertical organic mouth!
                  Once it spots you, this disturbing creature shall start getting mad at you with insane speed,
                  and might be able to finish you off in two to three slams. Try to stunlock it with rapid fire,
                  and keep in mind that - especially when encountered in large squads - *fire is your best friend*.

Centaurachnotron: this is what happens when an Hell Knight and an Arachnotron are fused together according to
                  some malignant will that exacerbates their traits. The Centaurachnotron is incredibly resilient,
                  can count on the speed of the Knight's ranged attacks, and on a new missile pod (in place of the
                  Arachnotron's plasma cannon) that can propel heat-seeking missiles.
                  Definitely more dangerous than its similar.

Demiurge:         a dark wizard conjuring powers worth of a thunderstorm in his hands, the Demiurge can attack in a
                  number of electricity-based ways, and when required, he can deflect your attacks right back
                  into your face... Be sure to keep moving to avoid the lightning streaks he sends along the ground!

Daemon Lord:      this is probably how the purest daemonic breed originating the Cyberdemon originally looked,
                  before its popular biomechanical transformation. The Lord attacks with his daemonic power only, but
                  don't be fooled: his missiles are not only equally dangerous, they also have greater explosive radius.
                  Confronting his tier once more raises the bar of challenge.

Daemon Brain:     a dramatically improved mutation of the Spider Mastermind, the Daemon Brain is able to fly slow, yet
                  undisturbed - but mostly inundate her victims with a rain of fire bolts. And as if that wasn't enough,
                  she can also spawn auto-seeking explosive modules... Fire and hide is the only way out.

Footnotes:

(1) The suggested commandline for launching the modification is the following one
    (assumes that the modification has been decompressed in subdirectory 'RSL' of your (G)ZDOOM directory):

(g)zdoom.exe -iwad <IWAD_PATH>\<IWAD_FILE> -file <CUSTOM_LEVEL_PATHNAME> RSL\rslshino.pk3

(2) Do not forget to bind a key for jump/walljump under 'Options > Customize Controls' in (G)ZDOOM.

(3) Similarly, do not forget to bind a key for toggling 'infravision goggles mode'
    under 'Options > Customize Controls' in (G)ZDOOM.

(4) Sound sets for any player gender are available. Choose your own under 'Options > Player Setup'
    in (G)ZDOOM.

(5) To obtain the complete set of weapons and/or carriable items for quicktesting
    without breaking the weapon set at your disposal, type 'rsl' in the console.

(6) To try one of the 'Shuno' augmented playerclass modifications with their own weaponset,
    inventory and beastiary, also add 'RSL\Shuno\rslshuno.pk3';

(7) All the special gameplay enhancements provided by 'Shuno' (i.e. gore system, tilting system,
    health-scanning crosshair system, etc.) can be configured and/or individually disabled altogether;
    please find their configuration controls under 'Options' in (G)ZDOOM.

(8) Keys for Strife-style popup panes can also be bound: all three are implemented,
    providing data about collected keys, character status and ammo/inventory storage.
    Go once more to 'Options > Customize Controls' in (G)ZDOOM.

(9) The modification is compatible with the following IWADs: The Ultimate DOOM, DOOM 2, Final DOOM.
