Within Taste The Swamp are a few vital roles.
Collectors - These are the ones who spend their time scouring the surroundings the tribe is currently inhabiting in their wanderings, to find new items for the tasters to try.
Anyone is able to be a collector. Tasters - The
ahem guinea pigs of the tribe. They try the new things the Collectors find, and describe tastes, any affects the food or drink might have, and its properties (slimy, gooey, tough, etc). They are especially interested in anything that alters their perception of reality, the more hallucinogenic, the better in their minds.
Only adults can be tasters. The Clear Minded - They still partake of various new food and drinks within the tribe (I mean they need food/water to survive after all), but they steer clear of anything mind altering, as they are the ones who will work to keep track of the various findings of the things the Tasters describe thus need theirs wits about them to be able to remember specific foods, effects, and even toxic things.
Anyone can be a Clear Minded, they just have to have a strong memory. Watchers (Healers/Nanny's) - Those who watch over anyone currently dealing with the effects of food/drink in any way to ensure nothing happens to them. They make sure those who are reacting to ingested food/drink do not end up injured or worse. They're also the tribes babysitters, watching the young who are not allowed to partake in the more mind altering findings the Collectors locate.
This is usually older kin, who are unable to go collecting, no longer wish to be Tasters, or are unsuited for being a Clear Minded. Hunters - These are the brave kin (be it from food/drink induced bravery or simply how they are), that go hunting for new meats and such for the tribe to eat.
Hunters can be anyone who are strong enough, and brave enough to hunt, and bring back the animals.The Rooted - Those who only join the tribe in one specific location during the tribes wanderings, and stay behind when they move on. Traveling with, or staying behind they're still part of the tribe, but The Rooted get to promote the tribe where they are, and give directions (however vague) of where the tribe went for others to find and join. They also describe foods in the area to those who are unaware of them, as well as tend well loved items in case the tribe should wander that way again and wish to partake (or even send a runner for more).
Anyone can be a Rooted(Other roles may be added as their need arises)![User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.](https://graphics.gaiaonline.com/images/s.gif)
