All right, the koalas that we rp aren't like the real koalas at all. These koalas are shamen, and they live in tribes. All of the outback creatures come to them for ailments, or spiritual help. THe shamen are considerd untouchable, and it is an act of great treachery to so much as give them a sprained ankle, let alone kill them.

Here are the standings and what they mean.

Head Shaman: The head shaman is like the leader of the tribe. He goes to the chartree frequently, he heals, and he interprets omens. He is also in charge of official things. He gets the final word.

Omen Interpreters: The omen interpreters ar the next step from the head shaman. When the head shaman dies, all of the senior omen interpreters go to the chartree to find out who will be the next head shaman. They know a bit of healing, but not much.

Healers: Once you are a healer, you are basically at the end of your rope. Seldom few healers ever become omen interpreters, and only one as ever been the head shaman; Kohahra. The healers know everything about everything about healing. Sick or injured kangaroos and dingoes come to them for healing.

Elders: The elders are koalas who have resinged from serving their tribe, most are too old to put up with staying awake almost all day. They are content to staying in their eucalyptus tree all day.

Joeys: These are all of the joeys that re too young to leace their mothers' pouches.

Gatherers: These joeys are at teaching age. They are able to leave their mothers' pouches for more than a few hours and climb up and down the trees. They are in training, and much of the beginning of their learning is gathering herbs. Hence the name "Gatherers"

Anything special we should know about Dingo ranks? Also, Eucalyptus leaves are poisonous. Unless you meant applied to a wound? That makes more sense, actually, to prevent infection. Duh. I'm going to stop talking now...
