* Something just occurred to me...maybe you are functionally tribeless, as your entire tribe was carted off into slavery.  I'm going to add a bit about this new phenomenon on the wiki; prior to the Gezag almost everyone was a member of SOME tribe, but with the disruption that is currently occurring, it could be that some smaller tribes have essentially dissappeared, leaving so few members as to be dysfunctional.

: Thunder Rumber should be from the same tribe that Vic's character is from, but he might not know him at all - maybe he last saw him as a little child, or maybe he wasn't even born yet when the Gezag carted me off to fight in foreign wars...  But I do want to be from the same tribe
 
: The love interests name.. hmm,  how about 'Dawns first light' as that was what glimmered through the tent during 'Dawns' birth...  she is also from my tribe.  I think your idea of her being the daughter of the shaman is a great idea.  I'm thinking the love is either partially illicit (lower caste than Dawn thus the love being frowned upon, or I'm too old and gnarly and weathered to be of any physical interest, or the relationship between my father and her mother makes it too close (though we are not blood related).  I do not expect the love to ever be reciprocated - my love for her is an allusion for the love I hold for the tribe.  I'll do anything for her, and don't ever expect anything in return.  it might be cool if she knows my feelings (those wiley women) and plays me like an instrament.
 
 
: my minor ally is the tribe shaman (a woman) and mother to Dawns first light.  she has aided me in the past when fleeing the Gezag and hiding from its representatives, and somewhat guides me in my destiny to unite the tribes and break free...

::Perfect.  By the way, it is enough that Dawn's First Light is of Thunders own tribe for the love to be unconsummatable and hence illicit.  Only the very largest tribes allow marriage within the tribe, and then only between clans, which are a kind of subtribe, not within clans.  I'm going to say that in Thunders own tribe, it is accepted that young men and women in the tribe might develop crushes on each other (i.e. kissing cousins), but that as they become adults they will grow out of this.  Certainly, if actual progeny resulted from such a relationship, it would cause an incredible scandal and probably result in the man being exiled from the tribe, the woman being severly punished, and the child being exchanged to another tribe.  Thunders Rumble is old enough to know better, and as you say above, recognizes that nothing will ever come of his love.  Her mother (I like the name Talk's to Lightning for her, but you are welcome to come up with a name you prefer), is the 2nd most powerful matriarch of the tribe.  You specify that you are not blood related.  If you meant by this "not a brother or sister of" then that is no problem.  If you meant by this "relation so distant as to be strangers", thats a bit tough; all the women in a tribe are related to each other, so if you were born into this tribe, your mother and Dawn's were related somehow.  If you want to not really share any genetic information, I suggest that while this is your tribe, you were actually a "swapped seed" between your tribe and your birth tribe.  As I mentioned in the section of the People, this is a fairly common occurence were newborns are swapped between two tribes as a sign of alliance or as a debt repayment.  You are treated as a full member of the tribe; no stigma at all is associated with your birth.  In fact, you are sort of a living symbol of the alliance between your tribe and your birth tribe.  Does that sound cool to you?  In fact, I sort of like this idea a lot, because it means you may have a relationship with your birth mother and her tribe as well, although not as important as your relationship to your adoptive mother, aunts and uncles.  This opens up another venue for important NPCs.
