INFO: THE TRIBES
All Thunderhearts have 1 animal advantage, and 1 weakness. The GM will try to come up with a move that you like, or you can suggest one and see if the GM likes it. (Examples: Jackrabbits often have good hearing, but tend to be impatient... Some Bear tribes have claws, but can be a bit clumsy... Armadillos are tough, but often don't ride horses well...)
--Possums: Often nocturnal. Don't like to fight, but're good at it-- very dangerous when cornered.
--Bears: Often slow, but strong and tough. Ride only the biggest horses.
--Alligators: Most have good senses of humor. Slow, but good fighters. Either like humans, or hate 'em.
--Armadillos: Most only fight when they must, but they're hard to put down...
--Snakes: More greedy than most tribes... some exhibit hoarder behavior. Some specialize in hunting supernatural threats.
--Jackrabbits: Often get along well with humans, but when they don't they really don't. Some hold grudges hard...
--Porcupines: Often peaceful, yet tend to be territorial. Hard to earn their trust...
--Buffalo: Often peaceful, but get offended easily. More religious-minded than a lot of tribes...
--Coyotes: Practical jokers. Devious. Get along well with humans...
--Owls: Spooky. Secretive. Tend not to say much unless the situation demands it... though there are exceptions.
--Ravens: Very serious. Almost as religious as Buffalo. Don't take crap from anyone.
