It's a tossup between Guilder and Outcast. Even with second place votes. Thirds don't even help!
If we get a tiebreaker before I check tomorrow, great! Otherwise, this gets decided by the Coin of Fate.

Guilder wins!
So, the question is, should our dwarf become
-A Wordbearer, carrying news between dwarven settlements?
-A Hauler, using his muscles to earn a living?
-A Carter, driving the carts that carry trade goods?
-A Hawker, selling goods in the marketplace?
-An Apprentice, learning his craft under a master craftsman?

Wordbearer it is. The dwarf leaves his job as a tinkerer to go travel between settlements, carrying news and messages. He learns about the various dwarven holds across the land, and picks up a certain quirkiness to his mannerisms, absorbed from the wide variety of cultures and traditions he encounters.

Soldier it is!
Now, does he become
-A simple Foot Soldier?
-A crossbow-wielding Arbalester?
-A Banner Bearer, resigned to the fact that he's likely to be the first to fall in battle?
-A Horncaller, sending signals across the battlefield?

1. Horncaller, because he just couldn't stop Wordbearing
2. Footsoldier, lucky enough to hit Proficient and then there was just no stopping him.
3. Arbalester, putting his tinkering nature to use by maintaining his and his squad's machinery.

Crossbows are awesome. Arbalester.
Then horncaller, since communication is important.
Then finally a foot soldier.

Seems like Horncaller goes best with his current skills - memory, oratory, quick-step, rumor-wise...
Tinkerer would give him the skill to keep his crossbow in top-notch quality as an Arbalester, I s'pose, but he could tinker in his off-hours anyway.
Failing that, Footsoldier could be a good fit - that quirkiness he picked up in his travels (plus quick-step) could make him a difficult opponent to match.
