Suggested Characteristics

Use the tables below as the basis for your traits and motivations, modifying the entries when appropriate to suit your identity as a member of your tribe.

Even if you have left your tribe behind (at least for now), you hold to the traditions of your people. You would never do something that would be considered unacceptable by your tribe.

Your bond is undoubtedly associated with your tribe or some aspect of your tribe's philosophy or culture. Your ideal is a personal choice that probably hews closely to the ethos of your people and certainly doesn’t contradict or compromise what being a member of your tribe stands for.
