**Buckley "Buck" Adams**

* **tradesman:** “tradesmen include a lot of different professions. plumbers, carpenters, gunsmiths, builders, shoemakers... without them, building shelters or transporting fresh water around will be difficult. if a settlement has a gunsmith, they will have to give him supplies to build guns. any kind will do. if he succeeds, they can arm themselves better. it would also be wise to stock up on ammo by scavenging, looting, raiding, or just plainly making them from what they have.”

* **enforcer:** “when dealing with people of lesser authority, it can be tempting to lead by a display of force. this is not always preferable, as fear can lead to hate, rather than the respect a group needs to function well. fear is a powerful tool, but can quickly turn against the leader if misused. that said, a leader must not be afraid to assassinate, or brutalize when necessary.”
* **guard/soldier:** “these guys should be strong so they can help keep the peace among the survivors... if their settlement is attacked by bandits... they become foot soldiers. make sure they know the law, enforce it and most of all, perform it effectively and fairly. military combat arms personnel, combat veterans, and special response team personnel are excellent examples of individuals that can serve in this role.”
