After first contact with the [i]Emperor's Cradle[/i] brought the A'an virus, they began to evolve in ways unimaginable, molded by some outside force to become the perfect man— stronger, faster, and more durable than any normal human could ever hope to naturally achieve. One such phase of this "New Evolution" was the arrival of Tribal Markings, birthmarks that appeared on the body at birth and developed with the skin. Although there are hundreds of different marking types, and no two are ever the same, on the battlefield they can be roughly divided into four types: Strength, Speed, Skill, and Psi. Each mark gives the People near superhuman abilities, from enough strength to bench press a car, to powerful Psionic abilities able to render apart the concept of time and space.[/spoiler] [url=http://img10.deviantart.net/c646/i/2011/163/c/d/helldiver_by_sttheo-d3ipqjw.jpg][b][u]Warriors[/u][/b][/url] [spoiler][i]"Pray to the Star-Mother that this is our Final Battle." —Anonymous Soldier[/i] The Warrior makes up the backbone of the operation, most of the drafted soldiers ending up here. This segment is equivalent to the US concept of Private First Class, although rank and control seem to be somewhat tighter among the People's Army.[/spoiler] [url=http://img06.deviantart.net/27af/i/2010/295/4/2/british_helldiver_by_sttheo-d31a18n.jpg][u][b]Hunters[/b][/u][/url] [spoiler][i]"We are order among numbers, soldiers who have earned this armor by right." —Anonymous Soldier[/i] Squad specialists who lead their subordinate Warriors into combat, their suits are designed to monitor and command small squadrons of troops from the frontline.
