The Martial Theme represents the mastery of physical and martial prowess. Those with this theme put hours upon hours of time on honing their reflexes, weapon proficiencies, maneuvers and martial cunning.
A martial character is a foe to be reckoned with, especially in long drawn battles. Their resources rarely drain as fast as a caster, and usually end in death before they're completely out of stamina. Their biggest drawback however lies in the ordinary, which is what they mostly are.
They are extraordinarily ordinary, which means they won't resurrect anyone, fly through the skies by will or call upon spirits, gods or eldritch powers to strike down their enemies.
