Well, technically if you look at it, I haven't been screwed over that much, just by one person, then turned into a zombie by a god, then brought back to life.  Unless you count being turned into a woman by the gods too. . . my character's life sucks.

[IronyOwl]

You just have a lot of issues with them respecting your body's personal space. Aside from "by the way you're a vampire now have fun with that" you've done rather well.

[V-Norrec]

I suppose, I need to find a way to ditch some of these bad traits though.  Magically Scarred and Mystically Scarred combined are probably going to make my character piss herself whenever... whatever pops up out of the ground and goes "A bloogey woogey woo" in my direction.

[Nirur Torir]

Ah, I've decided that now's the best time to submit an improved character sheet update thingy.

New specializations: diabolist and blacksmith
New traits: creative and squirmer

Appearance: He has jet-black, shoulder-length, moderately curly hair. His beard reaches is a few inches longer then his hair, and he keeps it well groomed. He has a kindly face, and a stoat build. He is average height for a dwarf. He wears simple pants, a long sleeved shirt, a hooded cloak, socks, and boots.

Preferences: He prefers the color olive green. He likes cats for their crazy antics. He likes granite for its reliable nature. He likes complex traps for their creators' creativity. He likes decorations involving the slaughter/death/torture/horrific mutilation of goblins. He likes birds for their freedom. He absolutely loathes goblins. He detests eating mud worm paste. He really absolutely loathes goblins. When possible, he prefers to consume rum and quarry bush leaves.

Spoiler: Copy-paste ready version (click to show/hide)

Name: Kogan Nirurtorir
Gender: Male
Deity: Medtobolil, god of mechanics and ambition
Caste: Artisan

Skills: Proficient Mechanic, Skilled Metalsmith, Adequate Mason, Adequate Siege Operator, Adequate Architect
Specializations: Diabolist and Blacksmith
Good Traits: Concentrator, Ambidexterous, Visionary, Loner, Speaker, Creative Goblin Hater
Bad Traits: Unaware, Unstealthy, Not a Rider, Xenophobic, Squirmer

Feats: Met the ancient power Aexiesoen under Blackstone,

Backstory: Many of Kogan's family have gone off on expeditions, either for glory, power, or just because of ADD (that'd be his uncle). His wife left on an expedition five years ago. He had tried to join her, but It's just as well that there was only room for her - Later caravans were unable to find them, probably due to goblins. He refuses to 'move on,' and has replaced grief with anger towards all of goblin-kind. Now aged 51, he intends to help create a bastion of goblin-slaying, or die trying. His only son, Tosid, a metalcrafter, feels that he is overreacting, but was unable to dissuade Kogan from his righteous course. His remaining siblings are generally surprised that he didn't leave sooner.

Appearance: He has jet-black, shoulder-length, moderately curly hair. His beard reaches is a few inches longer then his hair, and he keeps it well groomed. He has a kindly face, and a stoat build. He is average height for a dwarf. He wears simple pants, a long sleeved shirt, a hooded cloak, socks, and boots.

Preferences: He prefers the color olive green. He likes cats for their crazy antics. He likes granite for its reliable nature. He likes complex traps for their creators' creativity. He likes decorations involving the slaughter/death/torture/horrific mutilation of goblins. He likes birds for their freedom. He absolutely loathes goblins. He detests eating mud worm paste. He really absolutely loathes goblins. When possible, he prefers to consume rum and quarry bush leaves.

For my specializations, I'll take Fungus Worker and Fine Healer.

For new traits, I'll take Improviser and Unthreatening.

Appearance: Kog is a little scrawny for a dwarf, but his long, thin, oily black hair and smallish head make him seem less thicker than he is. He is pale, but has large red spots covering his nose and upper chin. His moustach and sideburns are longer than most, but he keeps his beard unusually short.

Preferences: Kog enjoys cheese of all kinds, but holds cow and dwarven cheese in a tier above others. He likes the color yellow, and has a special fondness for things made of pine. He dislikes the color orange, and also small children he doesn't know.

Hmmm... both fire-resistant and iron lungs are entirely suited to my character's experience. I'd choose fire-resistant (just do away with tongs most of the time and use my hands), but is there any way I could get some version of iron lungs as well?

Also, my negative trait will be 'easily manipulated'.

[Shade-o]

Fire-Resistant won't let you hold your hands in molten metal, it just makes you less likely to burst into flame like an alcohol-soaked rag.

[Samthere]

Fair enough, but would it make me less likely to squeal in pain from briefly touching hot coals or red-hot metal?
Yeah, forging with my hands was a bit far, but resisting burns that would be common for someone who's grown up around a forge?

Or is fire-resistant really just AVOID BEING SET ON FIRE? If that's the case, I'm probably decent at that in forge situations due to practices as opposed to any inherent resistance (i.e. skills in any forge skill would automatically include not setting yourself on fire in a forge), so I'd lean more towards iron lungs. Then I can forge indoors in my little smokey corner with light ventilation

New Traits:
+Paragon
-Unthreatening.

Specializations:
Mediator (from Trader skill)
As for tailoring, do you think there could be an add on more oriented for cutting/placing gems?

Appearance:
Her shoulder-length hair is dark-brown, as are her perceptive eyes. She is rather small for a dwarf, and thus seems quite vulnerable; however, she never seems to need an intimidating demeanor as she is quite the social mediator. She is 48 years of age.

Feats: Fought a hobo to the death, Leader of The Doom of Canyons

Appearance:
Her shoulder-length hair is dark-brown, as are her perceptive eyes. She is rather small for a dwarf, and thus seems quite vulnerable; however, she never seems to need an intimidating demeanor as she is quite the social mediator.

Backstory:
Her parents were on the higher end of nobility and tried to turn her into a spoiled little dwarf. At the age of 16 she decided she didn't want to become a target of a noble so she ran away and joined a childhood gang (where she and Norrec had become friends). She had picked up knife throwing after attending a carnival where a master thrower had shown off his amazing skill. At the age of 20 the childhood gang had slowly seperated and she picked up the business of merchanting precious gems to make a living. Lately, she has grown bored of her lifestyle and has decided to make a better fortune at a new outpost. Little does she know that her childhood friend, Norrec is also in the expedition...(with a sex change)

I'm really glad this game is still alive. I also appreciate your thoroughness when it comes to detail, Shade-o.

[Shade-o]

You mean Jewelcrafting, right? Tailoring is Cloth/Silk.

[CoughDrop]

You have Jewelcrafting under the Tailoring specialization.

[Shade-o]

Oops.

Wait, no I didn't. If there's nothing directly underneath the skill, that means no spec. I'll give Jewelling a spec nonetheless.

[Shade-o]

You guys look so cute.

Except Kogan.

[CoughDrop]

Oooo, pretty. Also, Gem Crafter get.

[FuzzyZergling]

That is so great!
