Lokum "Chomp Dude" Flashmerchant the Call of IronsNotable accomplishments:
-Founding dwarf. Romantically involved with a migrant, who is a Champion just like him. They wrestle each other a lot.
-Holds my record for "most sapient beings killed".
-Notorious kill-stealer.
-Has been known to completely dominate sieges.
-Adventure mode reveals that, instead of actually wrestling people, he carries around an extra set of iron plate armor and beats people to death with it.
-Has killed two local leaders: Ngoso Spidersabre and Olngo Waxedplagues. Just to make something clear, Spidersabre was born waaay back in year ten. Olgno was as old as history itself, and killed a Champion and a regular fighter during this siege.
-His wrestling skill is 107 or so. Anything he sneezes on dies horribly.
Sigun "Echo" Drillstaff the Flowery Tunnel of CrowsNotable accomplishments:
-Founding dwarf. Romantically involved with another founder that didn't play a role in the military, but did get elected mayor for a year or two before a charismatic child grew up and usurped him.
-Was barred from sparring early on from a sparring injury on her neck, and yet she she manages to rival the other Champions in terms of kill-stealing jerkassery.
-Wears
Triflingmatch, an artifact iron high boot. It somehow menaces with spikes of sea lamprey leather.
-During a year-long tantrum spiral, her founder boyfriend went berserk. She had to put him down herself. And she was still ecstatic.
-Like CD, she kills people with armor. Unlike him, her weapon of choice is made of groundhog leather.
Olon "Jason" Esteemroughness the Fenced Wall of NeutralizationNotable accomplishments:
-Founding dwarf. Romantically involved with below dwarf.
-As a novice fighter, meant to have been a simple farmer, he barehandedly killed a cougar, suffering only a minor injury to his middle finger (no doubt while flipping the cougar off). He even manged to put one of the cougar's eyes into yellow, which the wiki claimed was impossible (and still does, if you look at the 40d version).
-In the first ambush, while marksgoblins were shooting bolts into his superior Champions' throats and hearts, he ran out of bolts of his own. He then clubbed several goblins to death with his -cougar bone crossbow- before one finally broke his arm. He healed up completely next season. This behavior would be repeated many, many times.
-First Champion of the fort that was
not a Wrestler. In fact, he was a crossbowdorf, which means he was a walking machine gun. Eventually he traded in his bone crossbow for a wooden artifact one,
Senseships.
-Holds my record for "most creatures killed".
Aban "Tsunami" Bridgewalled the Ward of ExecutingNotable accomplishments:
-Founding dwarf. Romantically involved with above dwarf.
-Legendary miner.
-During the first rhesus macaque swarm, I zoomed to her to suddenly find her surrounded by two of their corpses, and a third was in her kills list. Prior to this, she had no experience in fighting.
-During the tantrum spiral, a lot of dwarves tried to attack her even though she was crazy-strong. I'm pretty sure at one point she stabbed a tantrumer with her pickaxe.
-Created the artifact coffin
Reliefscorned, which depicts the berserk founder becoming the enemy, a dog being butchered, and a cow. For added hilarity, I set this lovely piece of art as part of Jason's tomb, in case she
really goes off the deep end and strangles him.
Cog DreamyhallsNotable accomplishments:
-First war dog of the fort. Even though he arrived with light-grey wounds to major organs and body parts, he became the pet of a founder.
-Ripped apart a berserk clothier after a failed mood, and after he had already killed four dwarves in a rage. Seriously, Cog tore off his lower body.
-He bisected a Kobold, too.
-And then in the first ambush, his owner was one of the Champions that got killed. He and another Champion chased his killer, but that goblin shot and killed the second Champion as well, right in front of Cog. Cog responded by tearing off his legs bit by bit, before finally killing him
-During the confusion of a later siege, many years later, Cog got one more kill.
