Soldiers

Description
Soldiers are military experts, trained to expertly scope out a field of battle. In addition to this tactical knowledge, soldiers have honed their bodies to near physical perfection, creating in themselves a warrior class of the highest degree.

Soldiers are initially trained with simple blades. As they ascend the ranks, soldiers are given the opportunity expand their weapons arsenal. They may choose to specialize in spears and polearms, axes, or blunt weaponry.

If you enjoy playing a character that can dole out as much damage as they receive, the soldier class will satisfy your primal battle instincts.


 * "Life's pretty simple: Eat, sleep, and stick your enemies with the pointy end of your blade. Everything else is just a luxury."

Hardened by years of training and eager to prove their worth on the battlefield, soldiers acted as the first line of defence against intruders and the last resort when diplomatic relations failed amongst the various opposing factions on the Homeworld.

During their initial recruitment, soldiers were tested extensively to prove their strength of mind and body. Basic training consisted of gruelling months of physical labour coupled with a brutal melee combat training regime; many soldiers cracked under the intense pressure. For those who passed, the final test before being deemed battle-worthy was a trek across the Homeworld's largest desert, where only the most tough-skinned soldiers survived the dangerous sandbeasts and the long hours without rest or nourishment.

Structurally, soldiers organized themselves into a simple military ranking system, with older, more experienced soldiers training new members and laying out battle plans. To ascend the ranks, soldiers were expected to master their basic weapon, the blade, and select their battle focus, be it agility, defence or power.

Their government-assigned purpose on Destiny was to maintain order and civility during the initial stabilization of the new colony. Instead, they have found themselves tasked with protecting the other colonists from the monsters that lurk beneath Velyria.
