Open up DF to a nice fortress you got going. In DFhack, type 'mode set'. It'll then give you a set of numbers:
0- Fortress Mode
1- Adventurer mode
2- Arena Mode
3- Arena Mode possessing creature
And a couple others. Type in '2'. Then hold your cursor in DF over the desired unit. Use standard Arena controls to possess the unit, I believe its 'k' then 'a' or maybe just 'a'. Then, go back to DFhack, type 'mode set' '1'. You lost a fortress, gained an adventurer. Don't talk to the dieties, save your fortress in a seperate file from the whole game so you can restore it later. And Adept and Candy doesn't mean a lame ass bowgoblin won't just RUIN your whole day.
this is old way. there a better way to switch between fort mode and adventure mode. it just that you need to save into it.

go into the Esc menu in dwarf fortress don't do anything yet. go back to Dfhack and Type in '
1'.
back to Dwarf fort you notice the menu changed, this is good now either A)save and reload into adventure mode B) retire*/kill the random unknown adventurer Then hold your cursor in DF over the desired unit.

for other reasons like coming back to the site means you need to do the same thing again but you need dfusion to check the flag "is resident" on all citizens if you want to get them back.

*now since Warmist made it so you can retire as anybody you can retire the fort just by selecting a person as an adventurer then doing the steps up to the choice of saving or retiring/killing(which will say you can retire instead of starving to death) retiring the fort means you have a custom build mountain home filled with dwarves and what ever you had in the area and can be double as an adventure home. I have a thread in Adventure mode that talks all about this. I REALLLY REALLY hope someone modify that help page to update the correct way to do it(for those to not lose out of a fort and end up causing every one in the site to go apeshit and lose saving(?)).
edit: looks like Corai going through what I did back when Dfusion had it's body swapping functions.
also there an easier way to grab tons of companions if you go into dfusion.
hell you can pick up random animals, pets, wild life with the function and slightly better than using Adv-bodyswap trick.
