Fire Teller
Your knowledge is fire. You understand how to create and maintain a fire,
as well as it's many purposes. You will research specifically which type of
wood/plant/resource/method is needed for it's creation. Also, what is used
to maintain it (keep it burning despite the rain)? RUBBING TWO STICKS
TOGETHER IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
After you make your fire, you need to convince the hominids how it can
impact and sustain their survival. How will you persuade your group to make
this a part of their every day lives? How will you show them how to utilize
it best?

limited to using the web for resources. Think of other resources for
this role or perspective and list them here.
