Need some help, Merchant or peasant?

Two very fun low caste roles for me would be a Perfumer... there is a lot of mystery in the creation of perfumes. Quotes on the Talander often secretly used by the Free Woman to entice a man but considered dangerous as it is to be used by slaves to signal wanting sex. Another is the desert vermimum flower. In Mauraders Tarl actually poses as a perfumer and tricks the Free Woman Haughty Hilda. Very good and funny reading and so much potential for great role play.

Another role I have seen and loved and wished more did it was the "Fortune Teller" or entertainer, storyteller, musician poet and singer. These take a great amount of work and preparation to do well.

Here are some links for you to learn more.

Quote

Bakers wore robes of yellow and brown.

I stayed for four days in the rooms above the shop of Dina of Turia, there I dyed my hair black and exchanged the robes of the merchant for the yellow and brown tunic of the Bakers; to which caste her father and two brothers had belonged.

Charcoal Makers

...I saw a wide, hunched figure, bending under a gigantic bundle of sticks, strapped to his back by two cords which he held twisted in his fists in front of his body. His stature and burden proclaimed him a member of the Caste of Carriers of Wood, or Woodsmen, that Gorean caste which, with the Caste of Charcoal Makers, provides most of the common fuel for the Gorean cities.
---Outlaw of Gor, 3:27

Cloth Workers

...The carders and the dyers, incidentally, are subcastes separate from the weavers. All are subcastes of the rug makers, which itself, interestingly, perhaps surprisingly, is accounted generally as a subcaste of the cloth workers. Rug makers themselves, however usually regard themselves in their various subcastes, as being independent of the cloth workers. A rug maker would not care to be confused with a maker of kaftans, turbans or djellabas.

Merchants wear robes of gold and white.

For example, women of the Merchants, like other women, might enjoy varying their garments in color and style. Goreans are proud of their castes. Whether the Merchants counts as a high caste or not is controversial, Merchants for, many others against. Similarly, is the caste of Slavers a subcaste of the Merchants or is it, rather, an independent caste, with an uneasy relationship to that of the Merchants?
---John Norman, Letter to the Gorean Group, Sept 20th 2000

Down the stairway slowly, in trailing white silk, bordered with gold, the colors of the Merchants, there regally descended the girl who was Aphris of Turia.

...Aphris of Turia, then, was of the caste of merchants.
---Nomads of Gor, 9:91

...I wore a white robe, woven of the wool of the Hurt, imported from distant Ar, trimmed with golden cloth, from Tor, the colors of the Merchant....

Slavers wear robes of blue and yellow. They also frequently shave their heads and are considered a subcaste of the Merchants.

The Slavers, incidentally, are of the Merchant caste, though, in virtue of their merchandise and practices, their robes are different....

Samos wore the blue and yellow robes of the Slaver....

Metal Workers

My opponent was not Andreas, but a squat, powerful man with short-clipped yellow hair, Kron of Tharna, of the Caste of Metal Workers....

Smiths are a subcaste of the Metal Workers and mentioned in

Musicians

...In most cities it is regarded, incidentally, as a criminal offense to enslave one of the caste of players. A similar decree, in most cities, stands against the enslavement of one who is of the caste of musicians.
---Beasts of Gor, 3:44

Peasants

Economically, the base of the Gorean life was the free peasant, which was perhaps the lowest but undoubtedly the most fundamental caste...
---Tarnsman of Gor, 3:43

...Even the Caste of Peasants regarded itself as the "Ox on which the Home Stone Rests" and could seldom be encouraged to leave their narrow strips of land, which they and their fathers before them had owned and made fruitful.
---Outlaw of Gor, 8:66

Rencers or rence growers are exclusive to Delta of the Vosk, they are said to be of higher caste than the Peasants and are mentioned throughout

Perfumers

My assistant, a large fellow, but obviously stupid, smooth-shaven as are the perfumers, in white and yellow silk, and golden sandals, bent over, hurried forward. He carried a tray of vials.
---Marauders of Gor, 8:111

Players wear robes of red and yellow.

The Players are not a Caste, nor a clan, but they tend to be a group apart, living their own lives. They are made up of men from various castes who often have little in common but the game, but that is more than enough. They are men who commonly have an extraordinary aptitude for the game but beyond this men who have become drunk on it, men lost in the subtle, abstract liquors of variation, pattern and victory, men who live for the game, who want it and need it as other men might want gold, or others power and women, or others the rolled, narcotic strings of toxic kanda.

Poets and Singers wear robes of aqua and red.

It could have been worse, I thought. After all, though the Caste of Singers, or Poets, was not a high caste, it had more prestige than, for example, the Caste of Pot-Makers or Saddle-Makers, with which it was sometimes compared....
---Outlaw of Gor, 12:103

Pot-Makers (Potters)

Hup's rag might once have been of the Caste of Potters....

Thieves are recognized as a caste only in Port Kar; they are identified by a mark rather than by colors. Of course, anywhere in Gor but Port Kar, thieves will not be flaunting their trade as it is not a recognized one.

...On his right cheek, over the cheekbone was the Thief brand of the Caste of Thieves of Port Kar, who use the small brand to identify their members....

Vintners wear white, decorated with green leaf patterns. They are mentioned in

Wood Carriers/Woodsmen

...I saw a wide, hunched figure, bending under a gigantic bundle of sticks, strapped to his back by two cords which he held twisted in his fists in front of his body. His stature and burden proclaimed him as a member of the Caste of Carriers of Wood, or Woodsmen, that Gorean caste which, with the Caste of Charcoal Makers, provides most of the common fuel for the Gorean cities.

The weight the man was carrying was prodigious, and would have staggered men of most castes, even that of the Warriors. The bundle reared itself at least a man's height above his bent back, and extended perhaps some four feet in width. I knew the support of that weight depended partly on the skillful use of the cords and back, but sheer strength was only too obviously necessary, and this man, and his caste brothers, over the generations, had been shaped to their task....
---Outlaw of Gor, 3:27

...The whiskers had been scraped from his face, probably by the blade of the broad, double-headed wood ax bound on top of the bundle. He wore the short, tattered sleeveless robe of his trade, with its leather back and shoulders....
---Outlaw of Gor, 3:27

...The Gorean woodsman, it might be mentioned, before he will strike a tree with his axe, speaks to the tree, begs its forgiveness and explains the use to which the wood will be put....
