Kei Warrior

This class was made based off of the show Chrome Shelled Regios. Kei warriors use weapons called DITEs ( pronounced die-tay). There are many types of DITEs, the two major ones are regular one handed weapons and the others are called Adamant DITEs which are two regulars combined to form a Two handed weapon.
