You are a member of a Volcanic Dragon Tribe that has no more than a few hundred people. Perhaps your tribe comes from an ancient time following the traditions and ideals passed down from thousands of years or a more recently created tribe of wanderers and outcasts just trying to survive the wilderness through cooperation rather than laws. Your tribe may be small and outside the confines of modern society, but it thrives on the strength of interdependence rather than individualism. Everyone has their part to play in the tribe's survival and you are no different. Whether you are a simple farmer, growing fruits, vegetables, and grains, or you hold some form of nobility or higher status within your community, you hold some responsibility and adhere to the needs of the tribe as opposed to your own. You've witnessed the migration of herds larger than forests, survived weather more extreme than any city-dweller could comprehend and enjoyed the solitude of being the only thinking creature for miles in any direction. The wilds are in your blood. Even in places where you don't know the specific features of the terrain, you know the ways of the wild.
- Skill Proficiencies: Nature, Survival
- Languages: Draconic and one of your choice
- Equipment: Hide armor, a simple ranged weapon or melee weapon of your choice, and a pouch containing 10 gp.
Every member has their job and responsibility to the tribe. A farmer's harvest, a hunter's trophy, or a shaman's herbs all serve a purpose to the survival of the people and the tribe as a whole. Choose your status or roll on the table below.

Among your tribe and other allied tribes, you are easily recognized and welcomed. However, within modern cities and towns, you are seen as an attraction rather than a regular member of society. You often catch glances and even stares from the locals, are usually taunted and mocked under hushed whispers, and sometimes refused service because of your "savage" and "filthy" appearance. You often find it difficult to fit in among these people.

Suggested Characteristics
Volcanic Dragon Tribesmen have little respect for the niceties of life in the cities. The ties of tribe, clan, family, and the natural world of which they are a part are the most important bonds to them.
As a tribal born, your actions and behavior display respect and consideration for the group as a whole instead of the individuals. You have your own goals and aspirations, but often push them aside to aid the survival of the group. You are exceptionally social as you see communication as a necessity for survival.
