The first thing you'll see on the list is the ever so standard Warrior. Yes, Warrior. What, were you expecting something cool? Shit if so go make your own when you're done reading this then, sheesh. They wear heavy armor, or sometimes light armor, like chainmail and brigidines. Some use shields, some use weapons that are bigger then they are. Almost every Warrior though, from any of the nations, are only as good as their equipment, so clearly some warriors find themselves lacking where others are the absolute worst thing to see on a battlefield. For instance, a Balavarian warrior is so big and strong they swing around giant hammers like paperweights, but wear very little armor, whereas a warrior from Izumo of Kanto would wear much more adequete armor and swing smaller, but still two handed weapons. An Ellesmarian would wear a steel set of plate armor with chainmail of some kind under it, with a shield and a weapon of their choice. See, Warriors, basic fighting class with basic stuff to kill you with!
The "Defined" types of warriors in the world are as follows:
-Knights - Heavily armored and well equipped, these Ellesmarian warriors rely on heavy shields and plating to stay alive and use mostly counter attacks to defeat their opponents. May also forgoe a shield in lieu of halberds and lances or other larger two handed weapons.
-Thanes - The lightly armored, but strong bodied warriors of Barlavaria wield large two handed weapons such as hammers, broadswords, clubs and other giant weapons.
-Izumo's "Samurai" - These warriors are similarly equipped as knights, but wear no shields, and their plate armor is much lighter and thinner. They also rely on lightning fast speed and use smaller two handed curved swords they call katana. They also have other weapons such as spears or kanabos. May also duel wield weapons.
-Xiao's Infantrymen - Wear armor similar to the samurai but more heavier in some spots, and other parts, such as the legs are not armored at all. Also they use a wide variety of weaponry, ranging from small thin straight double edged blades known as Jians, to large single edged curved broadswords known as doas, and they also have two handed versions of the same weapons. Can also be seen duel wielding.
-Onachoans - These warriors are more tribal and unorganized, but in one on one combat they are just as deadly as any other warrior out there. They often wear little to no armor, although some can be well equipped with a full suit of armor. They use a wide range of weapons depending on which part of Onachoa you find yourself in, with the settled onachoans using scimitars and other desert and horseback friendly weapons, where as the tribes of the open deserts and plains use tomahawks and knives and other smaller, hunter based weaponry.
-Lijernians - These tribal warriors rely solely on their own phsyical prowess and guerrilla warfare to win what they need to. They wear almost no armor and their weapons, although primitive, are still effective. The most fearsome weapon they have would be their Kpinga, would is both a close range and thrown weapon, and can easily cleave a mans limbs off with ease.
-The Armetisian Battle Master - Armed with a rounded melee shield, a short lance, and extremely heavy armor, these masters of battle are Armetisia's first line of defense, and their elite. Always the first to arrive and last to leave in peace, these guys are trained in every way of war and every weapon Armetisia knows about, so if they were to ever lose their weapon, they would be able to properly adapt to their conditions while on the battlefield.
