Zaneg McSargeantDwarf, leader of the 2nd squad of melee veterans, survival of several years of fort mismanagement and several sieges, as well as his own forgetfulness of his armor parts while doing danger room training, incredibly tough, mighty, basically unbreakable, indefatigable, iron willed, amazing recuperative powers, amazing spacial sense and a lot of other amazing traits. A nightwing siege arrives, one of many, and even before the last of the last siege's corpses had been cleared. Zaneg goes along with all 30 dwarfs of the military to fight a squad of 10 nightwings, all of them melee, only one elite mace lord. A page of combat later he gets poked( and I mean POKED) in the foot by one of the novice nightwings, the mace lord not even near him, he faints from the pain and shortly after gets poked in the brain. I save scummed 3 times and every freaking time the same thing happened until I just kept him in the fort and the siege was dispatched without issues by the rest of the military....guess that's dwarf destiny for you...
Urist McScribe, survival of several sieges, a plague of rabies, a necromorph apocalypse, several accidents with the entrance drawbridge(forgot a note for the lever, oops
) and confined to the interior of the fort to just freaking do his job instead of wandering the battlefield for scraps of metal. Frost giant thief gets scared and enters the main stairway, makes it to the level where McScribe was, my firemage just finishes training at around the same time, gets scared by the thief, throws a fireball straight into Urist, who, even after I tossed some water on him using DFHack, perishes from blood loss...
Urist McSoldier, age 19, enemy of several civilizations/governments even before coming to my fort, already with a name for himself after a couple of sieges in which he killed 10 enemies, despite not having a lot of skills, the best armor, or even a good weapon, survivor of grievous wounds after the last siege. He is sent along with a squad of veteran lords to finish off a nightwing which had flown over the walls during a siege. He fights the nightwing on the wall, aided by the veteran hammerlord, he dodges and falls on the outside of the walls, gets up, kills another nightwing, dodges several arrows, almost makes it to the trapped gate, gets poked in the foot by another nightwing, before the rest of the lazy squad assembles to get to him, collapses and is killed...
