RE: Aluudon [DF] - MasterBlade - 05-10-2013
Superior silver is our province! We'll wait out till the gold market crashes and rush in with our silver-laden wares!
Name: MasterBlade
Immigration Preference: Adult Immigrant
Overseer Preference: Ahahahaha, hell no. That title makes you crazy.
Skill Preferences: Craftsman
Suggested Equipment: Chistle. Make all the wall carvings!
RE: Aluudon [DF] - Schazer - 05-10-2013
I'd rather the Playful Razors, it sounds like a cocktail of cocky deities that's liable to explode in our faces somewhere down the track.
Name: Schazer (surname Odvoyager if we're of the Playful Razors, otherwise Owlgossiper)
Immigration preference: Female adult immigrant
Overseer preference: Iiiiii'll think about it.
Skill preferences: Animal Trainer, Marksdwarf, Trapper, Hunting, Wrestling
Suggested equipment: A breeding pair of war dogs? Or peregrine falcons!
RE: Aluudon [DF] - MasterBlade - 05-10-2013
I'll take Razors as a second, but it doesn't sound very dwarfish...
RE: Aluudon [DF] - Palamedes - 05-10-2013
I actually prefer the Standards of Neutrality since they have a ton of gods, many of whom sound absolutely hilarious, but I agree that Razors are still pretty good. Bodice of voices is probably third place? Anyways:
Name: Palamedes (any surname is alright as long as it is suitably baffling)
Immigration Preference: Male Adult
Overseer Preference: Only if I really have to.
Skill Preferences: Broker or Doctor skills, Crossbowman

Superior Silver
Name: Denizen "tripps" Shipper

Suggested Equipment: Bag of cheese. Bag of sand. Don't really care actually.
RE: Aluudon [DF] - Leafsw0rd - 05-10-2013
Will be happy with Silvers or Razors. Seriously, Razors may sound cool and all, but Granitebronze the cobalt silver has FOUR different metals in his name.
Narm: Leafsword (maybe split that for the name...)

Overseer Preference: I tried dorf fortress by myself once. I couldn't figure out the controls. It didn't end well.

Suggested equipment: Stuff suitable for either of those roles, IDEK.
RE: Aluudon [DF] - thriggle - 05-10-2013
As a side note, sex and surname are beyond my control (at least for the starting dwarves). We're breaking down boundaries, people!
RE: Aluudon [DF] - DenizenShipper - 05-10-2013
Right, the two changeable options are nickname and job title. Tripps is still a good nickname.

I like the Standards of Neutrality, it has a funny name and some messed up major dieties for god-knows-why reasons!
RE: Aluudon [DF] - thriggle - 05-10-2013
For some reason, I get the impression that the culture of the Circular Quakes is matriarchal.
RE: Aluudon [DF] - DenizenShipper - 05-10-2013
And then there's the Standards of Neutrality, with their male fertility god.
RE: Aluudon [DF] - TickTickTockTock - 05-10-2013
I vote for playful razors because best name
Name: TickTockTickTock, dwarf nickname "some donkus"

RE: Aluudon [DF] - thriggle - 05-11-2013
The Playful Razors are our Nation, a mighty dwarven civilization from the south-west continent. Hailing from the grand mountainhall of Lashedwebs in the mountain range known as the Walls of Elevation, our territory is encroached on all sides by the tall ones.
![[Image: ThePlayfulRazors_zps599cabbf.png]](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v619/thriggle/Aluudon/ThePlayfulRazors_zps599cabbf.png)
East of Lashedwebs are the Elven forest retreats of the Lion of Assembling, our perennial enemies. Encircling our mountains and encompassing the rest of the peninsula are "friendly" human cities inhibiting our expansion. Their merchants ply their wares at our gates, spreading rumors of rich lands to the north, but warning that these lands are inhabited by a warlike race of green-skinned creatures... foul monsters that delight in torture and chaos, more savage even then the bloodthirsty elves we know, and more advanced in the ways of warfare.
We have watched for years as the humans villages around us grow fat and wealthy with trade and travel, while our mountainhalls languish in obscurity, our caravans traveling no farther than the nearby swamps and forest retreats to collect tribute from our primal elven neighbors.
The year is 251.
Her majesty the queen of the Playful Razors has authorized a secret expedition of seven dwarves who will travel to the far north. There we will seek the riches that have been so long denied us, and test the mettle of the infamous "goblin" warriors. She dubbed our mission Kosoth Stettad, the Palace of Taxes.
Below is our roster of heroes:
The lady Masterblade, a worker of stone. She has been tense and jittery for this entire journey, but I think that might be because of all the mosquitos.
![[Image: Masterblade_zps563ef5ea.png]](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v619/thriggle/Aluudon/Masterblade_zps563ef5ea.png)
There's Tripps, purportedly a woodworker of some skill.
![[Image: Tripps_zps35bf2ad0.png]](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v619/thriggle/Aluudon/Tripps_zps35bf2ad0.png)
Our resident animal expert, the ranger Schazer. Still spry at eighty-five, I think it has something to do with all those stretches she does in the middle of a conversation.
![[Image: Schazer_zps089b8e17.png]](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v619/thriggle/Aluudon/Schazer_zps089b8e17.png)
Purple Walrus, an expert at procuring and cutting gems from the bowels of the earth. She's friendly and hates brown recluse spiders nearly as much as I do.
![[Image: PurpleWalrus_zpsa00cfdba.png]](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v619/thriggle/Aluudon/PurpleWalrus_zpsa00cfdba.png)
The very matter-of-fact Doctor Palamedes.
![[Image: Palamedes_zps71ef0968.png]](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v619/thriggle/Aluudon/Palamedes_zps71ef0968.png)
The mason Leafsword assures me that if we are attacked by wild beasts, or those goobers or gobbers or whatever they're called, he can fight them off with his swordsdwarfship. He has a copper sword, so he must be telling the truth.
![[Image: Leafsword_zpse8ba11db.png]](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v619/thriggle/Aluudon/Leafsword_zpse8ba11db.png)
And of course there is myself, Thriggle. I will see to it that this expedition achieves glory worthy of Rakust's attention.
