Soldier

Writing letters home was the most difficult thing. When he put pen to paper it opened up emotions inside of him that he had locked down hard in order to be able to do his job. It made him softer, more vulnerable. But at the same time it was all that kept him going, to re-read his crumpled mud-stained correspondence, to remind him what he was fighting for. It was hard to know what to say though, he didn't want to scare her, he didn't want to say so much he cried while writing it. Spelling had always been a problem for him too, so he was reluctant to use large words. In the end it was brief, he ended it with a description of the battlefield at sundown that he hoped was poetic. He told her of his undying love for her and how he hoped she would write soon.

A soldier is all about combat! When they get into combat they can focus on doing may things to fight off enemies or protect allies.
