Most Badass Dwarven Child or Baby you have ever had
« on: July 21, 2013, 04:44:46 pm »

While my fort was in the process of being depopulated by the undead I observed a lone Baby kill a zombie human.
The next Zombie was not as easy for it.

Got me thinking what is the most Badass Dwarven Kid you have had?

This kid, Solon Mebimush, probably the stupidest dwarf in the fortress by the attributes, fell on his head, shattered his skull, dented his brain, and lived. Years later, he's militia commander and creator of an artifact adamantine buckler. A real Forest Gump story.

I started my male children spartan program and made em Pump operators yesterday. They are growing to badasses in my pump gym from now on.

None. I drown them instantly.

I had a fortress in the midst of a firey apocalypse (and fire, as we all know, spreads through populations of dwarves like an invisible airborne pathogen) when little Kubuk Strifesilver, age 2, became possessed. After claiming a craftsdwarf's shop he saw fit to go to a stockpile of ignited wood for one of his materials. The toddler was already in flames by the time he started the construction, but he managed to complete a giant badger bone coffin that menaces with spikes of highwood (or maybe it should be !!highwood!!) before finally succumbing to the heat.

Since the fortress was already in complete tantrum-spiraling chaos, I wasn't able to have the coffin set up. It would have been nice for lil' Kubuk to be interred in the final masterpiece of his very, very brief life.

My fortress was in an evil biome and every so often a mist would wash over the land and anyone who was caught outside in it siezed up, fell over paralyzed, and died of suffocation. On rare occasions a dwarfs stats were so high that they only suffered partial paralysis and they recovered. A family of four was stuck outside and was swallowed up in the cloud. Mother was a macedwarf with 4 kills to her name and father was captain of an axe squad that killed an FB and a cyclops.  Mother, Father, And Eldest son all died. Youngest son survived. Shortly after becoming an orphan he was engaging in the traditional dwarven pastime of standing outside where nobody can see, hear, or help you and dancing to attract kidnappers when he was caught by one. It was only too late that the foolish child snatcher discovered it was a trap and as he swung his knife the child counterstruck and with a single punch caved in the gobbos skull.

I dubbed him Kid-Badass and placed in his room an artifact throne made from an elf's spine and tied a wereskink up in the corner to a chain made of diamonds. My only regret is that nothing I ever did really made me worthy of his presence.

They say when you upgrade to the latest version all of your achievements die but sometimes I wonder if maybe just maybe there's a ghost of a memory floating around my harddrive migrating from world to world waiting to rise again.
