To supplement his earnings Ruin signed on for drug trials being held on-campus.
During the trials Ruin was identified as a viable subject for more "important works". He was forcibly moved to a secure facility where he was subjected to painful and invasive experimentation.
The result of this experimentation was to unlock psionic abilities, and allow him to merge with Shonian designed bio-suits.
The faction or group responsible for the illegal experimentation has not been uncovered.
Ruin was found broken and discarded by the Shonian 17th Research Group. Guided by Tulja Vestari Ruin found his way back to the world.
