I noticed a lot of bad ass characters I've experienced are in fortress mode. So here is the thread presenting and discussing these bad ass 'adventurer caliber' fortress dwellers.

Please start with when they first caught your notice, and continue on a story (in any tense you want) of their short lifetime summarizing what you believe their life 'events' are.

I'll start with.

Two of my front gate guards + eight war dogs, held off two ambushes long enough for my civis to get inside. Not one of the goblins died.. I told all military to NOT go outside. But I suppose the sight of the last front gate guard dragging his bleeding and mutilated body closer to the soon-closing gate was too much for one barely competant sword dwarf.

He was one tick away from the gate catapulting him into space.

And now was outside with eight dead wardogs, a dead guard, a guard about to be finished off, and somewhere around 8 goblins.

The sword dwarf charged straight in, stopping the guard from being finished off. Killed one, dodged another. A goblin went after the downed guard again. The sword dwarf would have none of it! He charged passed the three goblins infront of him just to back stab the goblin threatening his friend. Dodged a bolt, killed another goblin.

And so on.. Until no goblins were left. The sword dwarf took no wounds, and gained a title. The guard survived.

I made that sword dwarf go through #$%& as part of a suicide squad until I found that no matter what I threw them at, no one in his squad would die. Years later I ended up making him the military leader, Had a huge tomb made. suited him with artifact; 1 boot, 1 shield. Everything else Candy, with his candy sword named. I planned on having my adventurer come in and don his equipment, then invade the undead fortress in the depths of my fort, then pull the Fun switch.

But the mother#$%&r wouldn't die! And I wouldn't kill him.

That fort was dying due to FPS..
So I had the now legendary sword dwarf lead his squad into the undead fort and do all of this himself. He did it with no losses.. But I had forgotten he couldn't pull the Fun switch.. So I just tunneled down unleashing Fun upon the world. He stopped them.. losing every man in his military, he alone stood atop the bodies.
"What the hell are you?" I said to the screen.

A sharing of DF stories? I don't think so.

This thread title seem to be like the question that would be answered with "grab yourself Dfhack and use dfusion to select your [badass here], then switch over to adventure mode." I mean it's possible to do this, just not officially. The only story I have close to this is when I set up a sparring match with a fisherdwarf against 3 foes, 1 human, 1 kobold, 1 bogeyman the Fisherdwarf won all three matches in a row by ring out. Though I don't know if a dwarf from fort mode who lives in a dwarf fort that has a wrestling ring wrestling folks in adventure mode would count?

Not my dwarf, but Derm, the Soulchopper. Also known as God. If you don't know of him, he's soloed 18 forgotten beasts, 7 demons, 3 giants, an ettin, and, if I remember correctly, he helped kill a titan. He's also Legendary+122 in Axe, and legendary,+135 in Fighter, if I recall.
