Beast Master

Description

A Beast Master is an individual who has successfully formed a deep bond with at least one animal, a connection that goes beyond simple training or ownership. This bond is often emotional, instinctual, and in some cases magical, allowing a level of understanding and cooperation rarely seen between humans and beasts.

Perceptions of Beast Masters vary greatly across cultures. In some communities, they are celebrated as protectors, hunters, or spiritual figures who embody harmony between people and nature. In others, their abilities are feared or misunderstood, leading to suspicion, exile, or outright persecution. Such reactions often depend on local beliefs, religious doctrine, or past encounters with dangerous creatures.

Regardless of how they are viewed, Beast Masters are typically shaped by their bond. Their lives are closely tied to the creatures they walk alongside, and the loss of such a bond is said to leave a lasting mark on both master and beast.
