-The kaiila man/isbu warrior-

The kaiila warrior can be found most often,when not chasing kajira, practicing fighting technics in spar, or on patrol of the lands,policing for enemies.As we learn to ride the kaiila before we can even walk, you can see us in the fields practicing mounted war and riding skills.

Each warrior is expected to write a Grand Entry Line, in times of alarm,this can be simple or poeticly detailed, and is quite breath-taking to see in action when 3 or more warriors enter the room.The line should have three basic parts; 1you,2your kaiila and 3where you are in relation to the others,such as in line with or next to so&so.Somewhere in the three parts should be implied you are red savage..There are a few types of GELs , here is the basic Example:
IsbuGuy: ::Trots in on the kaiila BlackBeauty,arrow knocked.His face painted with a blue band and yellow war-dots.Falls into line next to IsbuGuy2.:: 
Gel practices are held frequently,and completion/maintenence of these are rewarded with higher dice..

=\ Warrior Ranks,Social Status and Societies /= 
*dice are one incriment higher when mounted*
1.Death or suicide warrior-Almost self explanitory,a great way to delete an old character you do not like anymore.Modeled after those in the historic Comanche,they painted thier bodies yellow,rushed enemy lines,going right for the leader like a quarterback sack.Those wishing to pursue a career can act as DM champions,as well as other rp "most likely die" situations.Our version of the black caste belong to this group, and the secret society of " The Lodge of the Wiconte(death)"... 

1.Brave (2d22)-New warriors,those that "dont wish to take part in the Sleen ceremony for what ever reasons and Male non-warriors can also be considered braves as long as they have passed the rite of manhood(age16).Weapons of choice include:The isbu war-club,kaiila war lance, short bow,knife ,tomahawk and the kailiauk skin shield.

2.Scout(2d23) -Those up and into sleen dream 3,Those into thier spirit warrior medicine constructions,or those half way through the riders trials..if the quests are not completed,this status may be retained and enjoyed.There are different types of scout,each depending on what society he is joining.All scouts are sometimes refered to as sleens,and this is not to be confused with the sleen soldier or sleen scout.The scout believes,that if an animal pelt is worn,they will actually become that animal ..example:
Online host: IsbuScout is in the room
SomeAssasin: ::Corners the scout,loads crossbow,signals to the other assasins to do the same::
IsbuScout: ::Drapes the tabuk skin on himself,"rolls" back,vanishes from sight in the tall grasses::
SomeAssasin: ::Trys to 'sight' him regardless,with the crossbow.Aims where he vanished::
IsbuScout: ::A healthy tabuk stag jumps from the field in the distance,over a fallen tree and is gone:: 
OnlineHost: IsbuScout has left the room
In the above example,no technical rules are broken,the scout doesn't claim to have ''Transformed "into anything..it is implied,and left to the imagination of whoever else is in the room..it adds to the mystique of the isbu warrior..

-(Tribal slaves,when not in direct contact with thier Masters/Mistresses, should greet Status 3s and up by performing obeisance, third position (karta).)

3. Sleen Soldier(2d24) - Sometimes blood-thirsty,Sleen soldier or =§= is an honorable rank,likend to being a brave ,or scout with all his badges earned. A sleen-soldier rank is earned by succesful completion of the sleendreams in which there are 4.His badge is the sleen claw necklace.The Sleen Soldier is an expert fighter and Skull-Game player ,and is more then happy to teach/help the other braves and scouts. .He collects coup points for spar hits,provided its an open hand strike,Scalps can be taken for proof or trophy.When a sleen soldier enters a match(not a war but a match) ,A circle is drawn to fight in.His ankle is looped to a kaiila-war-stake ..when this occurs,he cannot be released except by another sleen soldier. Everyone must show great respect to the Sleen-Soldiers and treat them as something special,cuz this they are indeed. Sleen Soldiers Society members have this symbol in thier profiles =§= . *special notes*if any are having difficulty with dream3,contact me.The dreams no longer go out automaticly,I wait until requested.

3.Spirit Warrior of the Fighting Hearts(2d24)- Not as blood thirsty as thier sleen soldier cousins,the spirit warrior does not collect scalps.Counts coup on a stick,open handed strikes only.Emphasis is on safety,protection,honor and Good Medicine.He prepares and carries a sacred bundle and a Medicine shield.He invents and sponsers a tribe wide activtiy for all to take part in,and even keeps track of the high scores and standings .They are experts on painting medicine symbols,and very often,thier signature knots are the most complex as well as artistic. S¥V is the symbol of the Spirit warrior..

3.Yellow Kaiila Rider,or Rider(2d24,26 mounted)-Thier artistic riding style approaches the imposible,and therefore are a calvary force to be reckoned with.Any attemp to knock a rider off his kaiila can be ignored,like a miss...Due to the evasive riding tactics,a riders' kaiila will take damage/blood hits first..up to 5 hits,after which the rest are taken by the rider...thier kaiilas' have 10 points.The symbol of the Yellow Kaiila Riders Society is ¥K® ..

4.Shirt Wearer(2d24,26 when mounted)-This is the mandatory stepping stone from warrior to chief status.A probation ,trial period.Named for the shirt that is worn as the badge of this society,from the shirt wearers come the chiefs.Candidates must be well respected individuals as they offer council and guidance,sharing thier wisdom.The potential Shirt Wearer is nominated by the womens society council,as it is there that the shirts are made from scratch,and the men talked about...
4.Shaman(2d24)- understudies to the Medicine man,or else great orators and story tellers.The shaman is adept at both healing and speaking.Often defender to those that can not form thier own defenses or arange clear debate. 
5.Medicine man-heals our wounds as well as our spirituality.The medicine man can make medicines and perform all ceremonies.He is regarded as truly magical ,and his advise the wisest...His dreams are reality. 
( Chiefs recieve 2d25) 
5. Soldier Chief/Medicine Chief - Only those of high coup,acts of honor,clear judgement and no anger ,providing for the good of the whole,may achieve chief status..example: It must be said that the chief has never struck from anger/killed a brother/sister of the tribe..etc.."When it is no longer a need to take/get credit for anything good,it is better to know that it is good indeed ..Who/where/what/why/how is not important,only that all benifit,etc.." "We did not weave the web of life,we are merely strands.When you ruin a strand,you ruin the whole."-Chief Seattle.
6. Civil Chief/peace chief..Doesnt have to be a warrior per say.Many medicine men,engineers,scholars,farmers/agricultural geniuses ,etc may be and have been great civil chiefs..
7. Principal Chief/Chieftian...Ubar,hands-down leader.
