OK, mind if I rephrase a bit?
What if you could create NPCs that would be introduced to the game during history. They would be defined similarly to adventure characters, but would have names, personalities (such as they are) and base stats. After they are added, they are treated just the same way as any other NPC in worldgen, except they might be a little bit tougher because of the initial stat boost.
As a benefit, doing this would allow a large number of people to seed the legends with alts, so that community type games would have a procedurally created history that involved NPCs that were requested.
Also, it could serve as a legends mode progress quest, where a bunch of people create alts and see how they do through world gen.
-- As an idea, it's not horrible, it sounds kind of neat. I especially like the way that it leverages existing features to create new play styles, which seems very DF
Sounds kinda perfect for a description. I kinda suck at explaining myself and most likely confused half of you with explaining it in a backasswards manner every post.
I was also coming from an angle where if it got popular enough, that instead of just "Generate and pass it on" they would have "Connect to worldgen server". But that would most likely fall under the category of Multiplayer DF or MMO DF, which you guys have plenty of threads asking for >.>
I really shouldn't post ideas without properly formatting them after a night's rest. ^^;;

I don't see draco trolling, you said that your idea was kinda silly and draco said that you were right and he agreed with you.
Maybe I was just misunderstanding his posts, but from the apparent tone of his posts, it seemed like he was being an elitist and belittling me. With the first post that didn't seem to bother reading into what I said, the second post to basically confirm that he understood what I was suggesting (but in a manner that basically bashes the point) and the third post was a definition.
Although I could've just been oversensitive because I was tired from lack of sleep. It could be just that he's just a grumpy sort of fellow sometimes like me, and I happen to catch him at a bad time. I apologize if that was the case
