Hmm... mechanic.

I love designing and (Only very rarely) trying to build stuff.

I could take a swing at mechanic, but since I'd be only useful for my knowledge of computational logic I imagine there would be little demand for my services.

Alternately, I could easily fill the role of Philosopher. I don't need anything fancy, and I don't really do anything other than think. Especially if DF Philosophers are like RL Natural Philosophers, who were combination thinkers/scientists.

And if the dwarves actually NEEDED a fortress designer, I'd be all over that.

Usually peasant labor, with part-time service in the fortress guard and a comedian role at parties.

Dwarven Hobo! Adventurer. Or, failing that, philosopher/expedition leader...  8)
I guess no one would take on the role of chief medical dwarf or doctor. After all, do anyone here have a doctorate in surgery here? Then again, the dorfs clearly haven't got any themselves  :P
I've got medical training, though not a doctorate, so I guess I'd be Chief Medical Dwarf with Talented Diagnostician, Dabbling Surgeon, Novice Bone Doctor, Competent Suturer and Expert Wound Dresser. Also Adequate Herbalist and High Master Alchemist.

The least you could have done was throw down some booze and seasoning. Abyssal Monsters that Creatures of the Light Know Not Of aren't savages, y'know. Sharing's caring.

Psychology = the Mayor, I suppose, since he counsels dwarves and listens to their problems. Though I'm really more science oriented...there's not really a dwarven equivalent.

I'd like to be the metalsmith or another type of craftsdwarf, or else a ranger.

Adept Mechanic who gets appointed to the Fortress Guard, despite a troubling lack of combat skills.

Woodcutter/Carpenter despite not having any skills in it.. I just think it's cool. Either that or Fisherdwarf.

Item hauler, lever pusher, pump slave.



But I'd have all the girls (edit: women.).

It all depends. I'll vote for you if you don't demand that we make something with a material that's not on the map (at least yet, anyway.)

I'd be philosopher/mechanic/engraver/bookkeeper.
Very frequently, I find myself lost in thought.
And I draw schematics and build things, sometimes drawing normal art.
Also, I write, but dwarves don't have writers, so bookkeeper would be the closest option.

I'd love to be my namesake; a platemail-clad warhammer-wielding Champion, but as I'm about as physically fit as a dead cat, I'd probably be book/record keeper. I'm pretty decent at math and english.
