Paradigm

The Paradigm is the epitome of what a soldier strives to be. They are the first into battle and the last out. They can run into a battle with a knife and have a pile of corpses around them without a scratch on them. They often leave battles looking like a pincushion, but seem unaffected. They are a pillar of strength for all around them.
