Your people hail from the untamed wilds and live in small nomadic groups. You are well versed in the art of tracking prey, and battling the elements of nature. Surviving in the wild has become second nature to you and you can read the environment like a book.

As long as you can rely on natural markers, you can hardly ever lose your sense of direction, and you can always be relied upon to gather that which nature has to offer. Although life can be harsh in the wilds, the joys of festivity are no stranger to you and your people. In fact, a night of revelry is often enjoyed after camp is made and a successful hunt hangs above a warm fire.

Suggested Characteristics

Even if you have left your tribe behind (at least for now), you hold to the traditions of your people. You will never destroy natural habitat unless it is a life or death situation, and you may not countenance such an act being done in your presence. The slaying of a wild creature when not performed in self defence is a sacred act, and you treat both the act of the hunt and the slain creature with reverence and respect.

Spending so long in the wilderness you are naïve to the nature of more 'civilized' people. You are wary of them, but understand that they are not inherently evil, just uninformed about the true natural order.
