I am just learning to draw, having some spare time here in the summer I decided it was time to try it and got the idea of drawing a little adventure in dwarf fortress to get a sense of direction of my drawing. Its highly experimental for me so please be gentle, I know my art and writing is bad, but I am trying to improve! Comments and constructive critique is welcome.

This is short of like a MSPaint adventure, so come with suggestions to what our adventurer should do or vote when I put up a pool to decide further action. First pool is 2 votes per user, one to determine what strength the character have (peasant, hero or demigod) and one for race.

Neat. But sadness, no kobolds adventurer? 

[hostergaard]

You grab the nearest energies and forge your spirit into small tough ball that punch trough to the mortal plane. You seek out the nearest dwarf...

You are now a dwarf spore looking for a female beard to take root in. You have quite some time fluffing about to consider how you want to form your body.

I am going for standard adventure mode this time. But maybe next time around?

The results for the last pool is as following:

You feel the energies of the ethereal realm fade as your being distinguish itself from it, you...

...let it go and, from small beginnings comes greatness, even from peasants. As you reach the mortal plane you.. 2 (8.3%)

...hold on to what is near,  the power will you give you the potential to be a hero. You reach the mortal realm and... 6 (25%)

...reach out and grasp for a much power you can possibly get. The energies of the ethereal realm is strong and you reach out and take the powers equivalent of a demigod. You enter reality with a blaze and... 4 (16.7%)

...take the form of an Elf, people of the forest. 1 (4.2%)

...feel your spirit attracted to the stout dwarfs, who hail from the mountains. 8 (33.3%)

...shape yourself into a human spirit, short lived but quite adaptable. 3 (12.5%)

Looks like I will be a dwarf hero. Next pool is up. Time to decide my stats! Stats will be assigned proportionally according to votes.

Question: does anyone know if its possible to modify the number of votes a person have? For this round I want to give you all 5 votes each,  but I cannot find a way to change it from two votes of the previous pool... Oh, and how do I name the spoiler tags?

You can't delete it. Your shame will be immortalized on the internet forever.

Also: Patience and Endurance, the attributes of the living stone from which Dwarves were made!

You mold the potential of your body, forging bulging muscles that you delicate arrange to improve the kinetic sense.  You put the immune system on overdrive and carefully balance the body so you have a great agility. You do improve some other things before fine tuning your memory. You don't really care much for analytically ability and leave your creativity and intuition in the gutter. You decide friends are completely unnecessary, as you ignore the relevant attributes. You are making yourself into one asocial grumpy little dwarf!

You find a nice comfy female beard to take root in and as your body grow and your ethereal form disperse the memory of related to it fade.

You are now a dwarf baby. You survive the experience.
