What kind of dwarf would you be...
« on: April 07, 2016, 08:27:00 am »

...based on your real life skills, hobbies and personal tastes?

For example, in my case:
SWIMMER (from freediving)
FISHERDWARF (from spearfishing)
COOK (I´m a great cook!)
ENGRAVER (from amateur drawing)

If I could choose I would also be a BREWER and FARMER (no experience at all, but love those activities), and would offer myself to explore new caverns.

I'd be a Manager and Book keeper because I like to organize things and keep track of stocks. And possibly a broker. I'm a cashier. I'm learning over time to figure the values of things.

It used to be only good for learning necromancy from slabs and artifact books. Now it's useful for learning other things from books too, as well as a corollary to writing. One shouldn't be able to write without reading, ja?

It could, and can also be used to read signs on the buildings in large towns.

Its a feature. Impregnating booze is a planned tech tree for dwarves and this is a sneak peek at it.

Shook has been fine lately.
He is a citizen of Denmark.
He is 23 years old, born on the 14th of June in the year 1992.
He is skinny. His face bears an unsightly stubble. His short hair is lazily combed. His skin is pale. His eyes are blue. His head is large. His hair is dark blonde. His eyebrows are awe-inspiring.
He is agile, but he is weak, flimsy and extremely quick to tire.
Shook likes sugar, the colour aquamarine, dinosaurs for their awesome and eyebrows for their magnificence. When possible he prefers to consume easily digestible foods because his bowels are evil. He absolutely detests mosquitoes, wasps and spiders.
He has good creativity, a way with words, a good spatial sense and a feel for music, but he has little willpower and a shortage of patience.
He is loopy and enjoys breaking the fourth wall. He is lazy. He is overly concerned about what others may be thinking. He cracks easily under pressure. He has a low opinion of himself. He daydreams frequently. He can't be arsed to finish the entire list of descriptors because he is lazy.

A tall and lanky creature prone to procrastination.
