Gladius are humanoid beings that can transform into bladed weapons of various shapes and sizes. They form nude when changing back and will need to re-equip armor each time. Their creation and history is unknown and many people think they are a form of Biotect that was weaponized but it is not known, especially since they have been around longer by many accounts. Their appearance depends on what blood is poured onto their blade upon what is called the Awakening, when they are awakened through magiks. The blood of that particular race determines their looks, but they will have silver streaks in their hair, no matter what the color. Gladius cannot become any weapon that is not bladed. To become more complex blades that do various things, they need higher Transformation Stats. They have emotions and feelings like anyone else, and they do age. Their looks range from anything to anyone, as they are designed to mimic most humanoids, male or female, young or old. Due to their lack of Mana from how they were built, they need Meisters to complete them. Meisters refer to their wielders. They give half their attack moves and special moves (and can share STAMINA if they are very compatible with them) to Meisters, and receive half their attack moves and special moves back. What this means if that the players can pick half their move set (at the time of the selection) to exchange. And always share their stamina and use each other's stamina. You can achieve this by having similiar moral centers and non-conflicting classes. Gladius, when in sword form, can take less damage from sword damage, and as they level up will slowly rise from Beginner Level. But it must be noted that even they take damage in it. Due to being designed as they are, in sword form they do not need to breathe and they can hold their breath longer than most species, up to 15 minutes - sometimes up to 20 in extreme situations. Extreme heat does not hurt them due to how they are said to be forged. If a Gladius is broken in sword form, he has 2 turns to return to humanoid form before death - and will have to seek out the Mystic Forge for repair. A legendary forge in Gladius history that can fix a broken Gladius. It is believed to be in the ruins of the Magi Order, but with how many people have ransacked it.... Moral Center: No limits. Age: 350 Meisters: They need these. Recommended Classes: Transformation Warrior, Fighter Mod Starting Capacity: 16 Unique Character Trait: Steel Steel refers to the power inside the Gladius, be in humanoid form or blade. The 'Steel' coats throughout their very being and allows them to access their core steel fibers to bring about great strength in battle. 1 Steel Move: +1 Durability in sword form. 3 Steel Move: +2 Durability in human form and restore 1 HP. 5 Steel Move: Allows the Gladius if they have a Meister to turn their arms into their blades temporarily (3 turns); lasts longer if they spend Action Points. 7 Steel Move: Allows the Gladius, if the Meister has a 7 Transformation Stat, to turn the Meister into Gladius Blade form, for a temp time and to extend it with Action Points. (8 Turns) They gain control of all the Meisters' moves during this and vice versa 9 Steel Move: Can wield two other Gladius, with permission, in each hand, for (3 turns) and trigger their moves, but it costs them their moves being used and stamina to restore them.
