PTW

EDIT - hey, can anybody join?

Of course.  As was said in the OP, just post what you reasonably think your real-life skills would be, and what you would like for me to add to the map of the area surrounding the embark.

Lots of little things. My chores for the last 8 months or so have included cutting up the wood pile behind our house to fit in the yard debris bin. I'm a half-decent artist. I have eight pets, and was the primary care-taker for them for a few years. I have a book called "How to Stay Alive in the Woods" which is a general survival book, and will serve me well. I went to school and had health and safety classes, which included basic first aid. I've also gone fishing with my grandfather several times. My summer project last year was making a shield, sword, and spear. Would have made armor too but it would have been too expensive. I've been in a sculpture class. I've taken an interest in siege weapons, and done research on them. I've taken a very basic chemistry class. I know how to swim... I've taken an accounting class, and several architecture ones. I have a composite bow, and have used it, but I'm a poor shot. Speaking of which, I was decent with that rifle, so I should add Adequate Crossbow-user. My dad was one of the top wrestlers at his high school, and we still wrestle at times. I was in pole vault, and so I know the basics of moving a long pole around and have some of the musculature suited to it. I've always been very interested in strategy games, military theory, and tactics in general, and have done research.

My dad is also a biology researcher at John Hopkins and when I visit him we talk about anything and everything about technology and science. So that adds some.

EDIT: I feel I'm just very 'Jack of all Trades, master of Records', more than anything else.

That..  sounds about right.

Spoiler: My Skills (click to show/hide)

As a question, will our "ingame-skills" improve over time? While I feel like some woodlands, I actually would prefer to do some hunting in here, instead of the "same ol'" stuff.

( Edit: Well, limiting one-self is one of the standard-tactics in here to make games more FUN. Could have been, no? )

Else, strike the Forest!

And I realize just how much I have understated myself...I'm going to make some modifications.

Of course.  Why would they not?

The temperament of the map is already decided by the secret story. But a river by the ocean is doable. Bear in mind that, dumped unceremoniously into the game, you may not find all to your comfort...

But I'll see what I can do  ;)

If it isn't in the embark site, I will add it to the 'surrounding area' map, so that it is easily reachable.

The temperament of the map is already decided by the secret story.

May want to look at the OP.  The timeline isn't going to fit.

Site - volcano in a lake/ocean, if possible.

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

You really can both sig it.
But... That would break the laws of sigging! We can't have everyone running around with the same quotes. IT MAKES THEM UNFUNNY FASTER!

All the information you need to know:
You were at your computer downloading the most recent copy of DF, and were dragged into the game when the download completed.

Depends on the quality of writing of the players.  With the exception of when I was writing for my character, all of the writing was excellent.  I got a lot better when I got him killed off, and started writing for the three survivors of an event...my writing will be better in this one.
