Glatorian

Glatorian was a title and job for three species of warriors on Bara Magna who fought in arena matches. Formerly soldiers on Spherus Magna, they now combat each other in arenas in order to enforce the social system.

History
Originally, Glatorian were soldiers who fought over the control of Energized Protodermis on Spherus Magna more than 100,000 years ago. When the planet split into three pieces they ended up on the large piece, which became Bara Magna. To avoid a war that could cause further devastation, the Glatorians were formed. Glatorians were hired warriors (excluding Agori, who could not become a Glatorian) on the behalf of a tribe who fought other Glatorian over disputes of natural resources. Glatorians were also the first to receive the benefits of these resources, and were paid through goods and services by their employers, the Agori.

They fought in arena matches that were governed by a code of rules. These rules included that a Glatorian wins when their opponent calls defeat or is unable to fight, and that after this calling of defeat, a Glatorian cannot be killed. The violation of these rules could led to a Glatorian being exiled from their tribe to the wastelands.

Glatorians typically had a preference for a tribe they wanted to be hired by, usually the tribe they lived in. They could be hired by another tribe, but in any case, a Glatorian's tribe's employer had to believe that you were capable of winning on their behalf and could be trusted as they were being paid. An exception in this system was the Skrall, whom were permitted by Tuma to solely be hired by his Rock Tribe.

Powers & Tools
Glatorians wielded typical weapons of swords, shields, and blades, and a Thornax Launcher, and primarily relied upon physical strength and tactics. They also rode Sand Stalkers as transports across the Bara Magna desert, used vehicles, or teamed up with an Agori from their employer's tribe.
