Training

[Sikeopath]

Training​

The Martial are those who train diligently, with great discipline to perfect their own strength, speed, stamina, and endurance. They aim to master one of the many arts of combat to delve further into their own mastery of weapons, function and overall physical ability.

Those who become the Martial may not be as outright powerful as the many magical creatures and practitioners throughout the realm, but their training makes them by far the most efficient machines of war. Their ability to hone their mind and body to its limits pays off in the pursuit of physical perfection.

Training Initiates (Level 1)​

Spoiler: Becoming an Initiate

One must train diligently, dedicating their study and practice to perfect their ability to move with perfection. Whether this be mastering the techniques of stealth, slaughter, protection or leadership, the practice they endure is deadly in comparison to any other mundane fighter. Many of the Martial seek to perfect their craft through study, practice, and meditation.

The driving force of initiating in this way is through training. Typically this is done through sparring others after working through stress-filled workouts every day. This may also be done through hunting or supporting depending on the branch the aspiring Martial may travel down.

Every Martial will be able to tell a story filled with blood, sweat and tears of how they managed to hone their body to perfection - how the peaceful feeling with battle first arose.

(You can only request your ignition after 2 weeks of your character existing)
