Is there any way to play as dwarf from my fortress in adventure mode?

If you get your fortress population to 50, you can assign a captain of the guard. New adventurers can have the profession "fortress guard" under that captain and will be 'from' your fortress. You can also retire them back in the fortress and control their labors like any other dwarf.

Playing as a specific dwarf from the fortress (say, one of the starting 7) would require DFHack, I believe - but is completely possible. You can sometimes convince fortress dwarves to accompany you on adventurers or as performers, though - but not completely control them like hand-made adventurers.

The DFHack command for this is unretire-anyone. It'll allow you to take control of any historical figure.
