Tribe Member

Basic Description
These animated characters are the people under your command that keep your island running.

Appearance
Tribe members, also known as villagers or tribespeople, can have a wide variety of hair colors and styles, as well as be male or female, and are a certain height depending on their age. Their outfit can be changed once they have reached the Adult stage after constructing the Craftworks.

0 - 2: Baby
Starting from birth, this is a tribesperson's first stage of life. They passively toddle around the island cooing, making faces, etc. They do not sleep, eat, work, or collect items, but they can swim. Their hair style is not apparent at this age.

3 - 13: Child
A tribe member's second stage of life. They may either be described as a "Young Boy/Girl" (up to six years old) or a "Boy/Girl". They mostly run around with no goal. They do not sleep, eat, or work; however, they are able to pick up objects such as mushrooms, seabird guano, and stardust for the tribe.

14+: Adult
A tribe member's third and final stage of life, descending into seniorhood (where they eventually die from old age if nothing else such as starvation kills them first). They may sleep, eat, work, pick up items, open barrels and crates, and, after reaching age 18, reproduce. Their hair eventually grays with age.

Death
As mentioned in the above section, villagers eventually die.

This can be caused primarily by old age and starvation.

This can be prevented with a Youth potion, or by collecting sufficient food.

The moment a tribesperson dies, a tombstone appears in the location where they met their fate. To interact with a tombstone, you may click on it and you can drag it to a new spot. Alternatively, click without dragging and the screen will "zoom in", showing the writing engraved on the rock. It will say something to this effect:

"Here lies [villager name],

the [rank and profession], who

died of [cause of death] at age [age at death]."

Example:

"Here lies Angelica,

the legendary scientist, who

died of natural causes at age 80."

Below it will give the player the option to permanently hide (delete) the tombstone.
