You grew up in the wilds, far from civilization, and quickly adapted to become a skilled hunter and leader. You protect your own and command great respect among your kinsfolk who also call the wilderness home. You have natural instincts for protecting your pack, honed over years of hunting, surviving and observing animals in their natural habitats. You are loyal, brave and committed to any group you decide to join, but will always have a special place in your heart for your home, family and community.

Feature: Head of the Pack
As a natural-born leader, you command respect among other hunters and survivalists. Fellow hunters and survivalists recognize your authority and influence, and they defer to you if they are less experienced. You can invoke your experience to exert influence over others who are similar to you and requisition simple equipment or horses for temporary use. You can also usually gain access to friendly wilderness camps and towns where your hunting skills are recognized.
Suggested Characteristics
The frontier wilderness combined with the rigor required to be a skilled hunter leaves its mark on all pack leaders, creating strong bonds, shaping their ideals, and causing them to adopt an stoic outer persona.
