Suggested Characteristics

Unlike the similar Outlander, the Bushman may not have necessarily been born into the wilds, but has gained a greater passion and enjoyment at challenging the wilderness for their own ends-- typically for entertainment, wealth or more personal reasons.

The Bushman boasts a great love of the outside and relishes in it, often seeing cityfolk as on the softer side and will take most opportunities to turn this to their advantage, either by coin or by circumstance as they are typically charismatic enough to not be seen as a bumpkin, though exceptions always exist to the rule.
