Animal tamers
A very risky, but well-paying job, these rough and tumble Animoterrans go out and look for certain animals to tame, (hence the name). Although it is fairly difficult, after one or two generations, the species is usually considered 'tame'.
With some species, such as Scrabla and Sand walkers, this is physically impossible, but for others, like nomads and shredders, this has not only worked, but has led to great success!
Career
Qualifications
You must be physically fit, this alone usually leans toward younger Barbro and Galoans. You must also be able to find your way around a trade-ship, as this is what they use to transport most of the animals.
Career Progression
You almost always start off feeding and cleaning up after the animals, but once a new recruit shows up, you are promoted to 'small game', such as sail-runners and other smaller animals, after this it goes to 'medium game', such as nomads, then 'big game', this is the most dangerous job, as some of the animals are aquatic, and you should have a good friendship with Ichtytalus.
Payment & Reimbursement
For every animal caught, and depending on your status, you can get between 100 and 500 gold, which is enough to pay for a room and food for a few days.
Other Benefits
This is tricky, as you don't get any direct benefits. Females are quite interested in males who are tamers, as they know how to take care of themselves, and get out of trouble, that, if you ask really any male, is a benefit.
Perception
Purpose
Many animals are able to do things easier than a Barbro, Galoan or Swandos can, such as the use of shredders as beasts of burden, maybe pulling a plow or wagon.
Social Status
They are usually higher than most in the social circles, but there is still quite a few above them.
Demographics
Not many, as some aren't interested or physically can't do it.
History
It has changed with the invention of the cart, now employing larger animals, and even some boats are now pulled by aquatic animals, which, i should say, is an experience to remember. The first time i rode on a small boat, it was pulled by a large Slip-worm, who was quite annoyed with me.
Operations
Tools
Bolas are especially useful, as are some toxic fungi that are made into a sort of narcotic, allowing the animal to quickly be knocked unconscious.
Materials
Metal and wood cages, (depending on size and abilities of animals used) are widely used, as are ropes to herd more peaceful animals. Other than that, mostly large amounts of food are required, and metal hooks and rings for setting up bridles and.or saddles for larger animals.
Workplace
It usually is a large trade-ship, which smells like you would think, having so many large animals cycling in and out of it.
Provided Services
You are well-paid, but that's about it, oh, you also learn how to do these things, in case you want to start a farm.
Dangers & Hazards
You are trying to tame some of the largest, fastest and most aggressive animals on the planet, why yes, there are hazards.
Type
Agricultural / Fishing / Forestry
Demand
The demand for an animal depends on the purpose, as farm animals are much more sought after than say, a pet.
Legality
It is legal in the overview, some of the shipments are above the collection limit, or illegal species, such as Scrabla and Gigantorachnids, which are strictly forbidden!
