Drosabeato



The Drosabeato is an isolated gladiator species on the Northern Island of Trogona; They live on self-reliance, choosing to live in a reclusive lifestyle separate from any other sapient species other than their neighbors, the Vikarian species on the island of   Nornoss and the Thresian species on the island of Mysarri. They are a fairly simple race. All Drosabeato are trained to be warriors by their respective clans.

Anatomy and the Clans
The Drosabeato species are known for their elongated necks and outer shells that house their insect-like wings.

Culture
The occupation of warrior is the center of life for the Drosabeato. All of the Drosabeato are trained to be warriors at a young age. Each clan has its own fighting stye:


 * Ravage Style: The fighting style of the Fire clan. Basically, it is all about attack, pushing your enemy until he makes a mistake then capitalize on that mistake.

There is always a male and female leader. Their terms usually last about 200 years. However, if a leader is found deceitful, weak, or ruthless, a Drosabeato of the same gender may challenge him and finish off his/her term. After a term is over, the leaders can either fight for another term or step down. If a leader steps down, he has to face those who want the position. Whoever lasts the longest or defeats him in the shortest time becomes a leader. If a leader wants to run for another term, whoever that challenges her beats her becomes a leader.
