What is your 28yo "Childs" birthday?  I've got an open bug in Mantis about non-historical figures always getting a 1 Granite birthday, and am always looking for more evidence one way or the other on it. (Yes, the starting seven count as historical dwarves the way DF does things.)

My guess, he's a normal dwarf that happens to be historical, and will become an adult either at his birthday or the next Spring. More testing on which is the case would be appreciated, however.

18th of Opal birthday.

I will keep an eye on her and see what happens when the birthday comes around.  I am pretty sure she is a historical figure from the first fort I did with this civilization who then did 12+ years in "statis" while the second fort and a few other things ran.  I also doubt vampire status since two of the other migrants that came in are her parents.

Probably historical--she's a legendary bonecarver and probably made an artifact at some point. Is she from a previous fort?

Some people have all the luck. The most I can ever expect is a great [profession] in my first two years if I'm lucky, but then I tend to end my forts by world deletion rather than any other way. The things I could do with legendaries in my first waves...

That's what I'm trying not to do this time around - delete my fortresses and the worlds they reside within. When I first started playing I abandoned the fortress when I got bored with it, but then I started deleting it. Now I'm going to move a step up and either keep at it or just generate a new world.

Also OP, sounds like you've got a pretty sweet embark. The past two I've picked have had loads of hematite but this one I'm in right now doesn't have any flux stone. I'm kind of envious as the goblin blenders I plan on littering throughout many of the corridors in the fortress would work better with steel. Good luck with your fortress though, and I hope that adult child isn't a vampire.

Then again, that might be Fun.

Update.  Her birthday just came up and she went from child to "peasant".  Which will change to a full profession once she does something in one of her meaningful skills.

Fort's 2nd migrant wave was five "typical" low-skill dwarves like you usually see.   They have been put to work hauling stone around and other working tasks as the fort infrastructure works up.  (Magma Sea has been found and plans underway to start carting magma upside to set up the Foundries.)  Stockpiles of ore already await.
