Ironblood is one of the few heroes who can frighten villains by threatening to actually do more damage than them.

So, it's a lose-lose situation.  Even if you win, you still lose.  Because Ironblood kills you.

The dwarven economy is just a stand-in, from what I understand. As it is, it represents an actual economic system about as well as poison ivy represents a salad.

Just keeps getting better, and now, after about a month I finally came back and got that fix I didn't know I was missing! :D

Also, just wondering, where am I in the queue? ... Or did I just kind of fall between the floorboards?
It's a pity only Kodor and Melica are surviving their first five battles or so; no real room for long-term character interaction. But that's dwarf fortress for you  ;)

Ironblood is already so awesome that even his mere blood/mud/gore/misc. soaked/encrusted/grimy/semisentient boots can kill with a look.  An undead Ironblood would unthinkably awesome.

Sorry dude, I think you slipped through. That said, I'll be back at the fortress soon enough, so reiterate your request again (so I don't have to siphon through all the pages), or make a new request. I'll be sure to note it down.

Hehehe...I stoped reading this long ago and havn't started up because I've been busy (If you call geting the 1 million heal medic achievment without using an achievment server being busy) and didn't want to read through the mountains of stuff. Should I start up reading this again?

Olon Ironblood. I honestly can't remember what Xotes' original name is. It's lost to time now that I properly changed it with DC.

Alright, resubmitting with a few changes.

Name: Entropy
Class: Swordsman or Maceman
Race: Human or Dwarf
Gender: Male
Personality: Entropy is very much the silent, gloomy type, and rarely talks, except when he has something sarcastic and biting to say. He loves taunting his enemies. He is a loyal friend and takes leadership and responsibility very seriously and would never disobey an order from someone he has accepted as his leader unless he's absolutely certain it would lead to a meaningless demise. He can be cunning when he wants to be, which he normally doesn't (his bloodthirst tends to get in the way a bit).

Well, I suppose I might as well resubmit mine too.

SpearDwarf
Omrist-Kurig ("Wild Goose", of course)
Spearuse, Armor User, Shield User, maybe a bit of wrestling.  The usual.  Also, throwing.
Used to be a whaler until skeletal whales destroyed that industry.  Now looking for work; primary skills include stabbing things and hurling objects at other things.

And for when you go back to Fortress Mode
Wild Goose
Male
Preferably a Bone Carver, or just assign Bone Carving to whichever dwarf you pick.  Preferably a dwarf who likes bones, of course.
Not like he's going to have any shortage of material round these parts.

I guess I will ask for a dwarf for fortress mode
Name:Flint
Proffesion:A swordsdwarf or weapon/armorsmith
Gender:Male

A reasonably bright and optimistic yound swordsdwarf with dreams of becoming a swordmaster who was lured to the fort after hearing all of the great legends(e.g Captain V Hydra) Flint is a loyal young dwarf who will gladly fight hard for his friends and is rarely serious unless the ocassion calls and Flint is not a very seasoned soldier so he will be affected greatly by death happening around him but hey in this fort he is sure to get used to that

Thanks heaps if he get's in if not hey great job anyways :D
