(Telling and grammar errores by a previous poster is a good thing! Don't be afraid to!)
Since I don't play much DF, but I will tell you I am in love with the game. Too bad it's not installed on every computer I see. Ah yes, the day I live in a world with a computer conveniently placed everywhere, with internet access, right to walk around with marshmellow fluff all over your body, as well as peanut butter, and DF installed on every computer with a global saved data system is the kind of world, would be the day I chop my tounge off, and give it to Toady as a gift, sorry where was I? Ah yes! Since I don't play much DF I will not tend to know much about it, given I don't. I won't try to make the same topic in this section of the forum,(not all are the same! D:). So I will make a roleplaying topic!
(NOTE: IF YOU KNOW WHAT A ROLEPLAYING TOPIC IS, THAN SKIP TO THE RED TEXT!) Though enough of that here are my rules, please try to follow them, and read them.
This is not like most of the other topics here, it is actually a Roleplaying topic. Roleplaying in the sense, is taking control of a PCC,(Player controled character, think D&D, if you havn't played it think those interactive books where the author had you mindlessly fliping through pages, as you choose the actions of the PCC, and if you havn't done that! Think an interactive simulated graphics scenario generater... A FREAKIN VIDEO GAME!), though most tend to call it a PC, use PC instead. Than after creating your character's rich backstory, though most make it as they go along, you than have to enteract, with other people also making the story. As this typically goes, though if you are doing this by yourself you are writing yourself a story! Though this isn't what we go for, more so over a communal one!
So, I.E. a roleplaying topic is where YOU, CREATE a fictional CHARACTER, and have them INTERACT in a FICTIONAL WORLD, created by another author, (or yourself if you made the world), as well WITH OTHER PEOPLE. Where you MAIN GOAL is set up by the AUTHOR, and you TRY YOUR BEST to get to THE GOAL, as well as HAVING FUN, DOING IT, all by WRITING IT, as BEST YOU CAN, working along or against, ALL THE OTHER POSTERS, solving your obstacles which are created by the AUTHOR...

Flavor information!
(please keep traits to a minimum of eight, three of your own made up ones are mandatory! Get attached to your character!
Traits will tend to make up what your character dose!)
Litast has been estactic lately.
Litast is very energetic. He can easily become absorbed in art and the beauty of the natural world. He lives for risk, and excitement. He is willing to compromise with others. He is completely uninterested in ideas and debates over intellectual issues. He always acts without considering alternatives or thinking through possibilities. He is incredibly confident. He is ruled by irresistible cravings and urges. (3 Mandatory made up traits) Litast is a complete womaniser he dose not tend to care of race, "As long as she has a pretty I'm not concerned!", (come on! Be intresting with these!). He often sees pure brawn winning over brians, and organization. He detest the thought of being shown an idiot, (even though he is).
All in all Litast is a great dwarf, although stupid, he will eventually realize what needs to be done to achieve a goal, albeit slowly.
Litast is as talls as dwarfs get, 4'7. He has a large slightly groomed brown mane of hair, and beard reaching down to his chest's mid section. His skin is very tan for a dwarf, and he also boasts a devilishly handsome dwarvin appearence, (don't know what that would look like, but what the hell! gives you a reason to think
).
Extra flavor information
During Litast's youth, near the age of five. He wittnessed death, as a siege group of humans, goblins, and trolls. Stormed the fort of Helmsmoke of death, killing all his childhood friends, and parents. He hid in a cabinet while he listined to the screams, and pains of the slaughtered. Litast only lived because the new denizens quickly killed each other over control of there new city. When Litast finnaly left from hiding, he was obviously shocked of all the brutal carnage strewn about his childhood home. In areas he had to wade through the pools of blood left by the unfortunate slaughtered, in which he kept his eyes tightly shut to avoid seeing familiar faces, separated from there bodies. After emotionally painful cries of asking the empty halls if anyone were alive, Litast atlast realized, he was a lone suvivor. Litast was atleast sparred some luck, as the food stockpiles were located in a separate area of the fortess, and were abundant. Litast survived alone till early spring. It was at that time an elven caravan arrived, unaware of what had happen. The caravan went in to investigate, as well as loot, and perhaps eat a few fresh corpses. Except for the liason Mifava Gilafiale, who wanted to search for any tree seeds that could be saved from rotting. Luckily for Litast she,
OOC: See what I did there, by the way. OOC means out of character.
stumbled upon him down in the food stockpiles, near a forgotten corner. By this time he had fended for himself many times, fighting back at some kobolds who had bumped into him or the ocasional snatcher. His cloths were torn, bloody, and he smelt of old rotting death. Most beings would have probabley ignored this pitiful creature or killed it, but Mifava was of the elven individuals. She took him in, and raised him for three years as an elf. Litast learnt much from the elvs, but was often left alone from the other children due to his race, and was often unable to commune to nature like most elvs. It was at last decided by Mifava that she would take Litast to a dwarvin fortress, and a very well known one too, plus protected, which was what she wanted for Litast. It was there that she payed a noble men, and woman couple
OOC: Don't ask why.
who could not concieve a child to adopt Litast. There Mifava told Litast to wait for her while she went, and fetched some personal trading items that she needed his help to show to the couple. She never came back. Litast threw a tantrum, but he knew deep in his heart that a dwarf was not meant to live among the surface dwellers or even think twice about chopping a tree, he quickly adjusted to his new lifestyle, and rose through the ranks of dwarvin nobility from his new parents, but he often showed thoughts, and traits of an elf, because of this he enjoyed the rest of his childhood alone. When Litast was finnally old enough he wanted to be appointed to true authority. His hard headednes, and sometimes his hard head! Lead him to such a possition, he became the expedition leader of dwarvin in search of admantine as apointed by the king himself. It was of course the happiest moment in his life, as it gave him the oppurtinity to rule his own way, met woman, and perhaps despense some well deserved justice, and righteousness in the way he saw fight, as well as a way of figuring out why Mifava left him, and took him in as her own son.
OOC: Remember! He is slow!
And this is where his story begins.
Yes the last sentence or there *should* be a sentence as to why your character is doing this somewhere in this post.
First six are of the original, after which are an immigration wave. Unless of course,(which will probabley be the case) no one posts I will take the task of making the other characters.
