At the onset of the game, you choose one of three characters. You can be a Human, a Gladiator, or a Culibine. Each character has certain built-in strengths and weaknesses. For instance, the human can run fast and shoot his weapon quickly, but has the least amount of energy for his weapon. The gladiator is much slower, fires its weapon quickly and has more energy available. Finally, the culibine takes longer to start firing its weapon, but runs fast and has regenerating health.
