Tamer: a person who can communicate with animals, usually speaking in words which are completely nonsensical when talking to an animal. each tamer has their own "language". sometimes used as "traps" for hunters in hunting animals, but some of them have a compassion for animals/nature and do not like doing such things.

Shaman: spiritual leader. they practise medicine and are at the head of every ritual and contain all knowledge in relation to the tribe. shamans are usually older, but they take on a young apprentice who usually shows an ability to communicate with nature spirits and who have a knack for medicinal application.

Whisperer: people who can "hear voices" in the wind. many of them describe it as hearing the trees whispering to each other about things happening nearby or afar. these people are usually loners, preferring solitude in nature, but are a very important asset to tribal culture. average ones are able to predict weather, advanced ones receive "visions" from what they pick up in the wind.

Hunter: your standard tribal hunter.

Markings: the 4 dots symbolise the mother goddess and her 3 daughters. stripes on the thighs of a woman signify she is fertile. shamans have 8 dots on their face signifying their connection to the spirit world. they also have "the sun" on their stomach. tamers have a symbol of wildlife on their stomach, and 4 dots to represent their magical gift. whisperers have markings corresponding to their receptive abilities (ears and mouth, signifying they hear and speak the whispering of nature). hunters have standard markings of the goddess and stripes under each eye to bless their vision.
