Perfect! I'll write up the initial situation this afternoon. I'll have more time and less to do then.

SUMMON CTHULU TO HOLD THE PLAN UP!

Threaten Mr Zero with bomb to get him to stop summoning Cthulu. Threaten Cthulu, too, if needed.

I understand your affinity for books, but players in DF burn whatever they feel like.  Magma appears to be the solution to every problem, problem being real or perceived.  Goblin explosion?  Magma.  Too many cats?  Magma.  All the cats are adopted by dwarves?  Burn the dwarves in magma.  Dwarf can't find enough silk cloth and goes crazy from his mood?  Magma.  Dwarf uses all the adamantine to make an earring?  Magma.  Too many children?  Burrow them and flood the room with magma.  This is a community that has figured out how drop children into pits with rabid dogs for 10 years until they come out at the end of it legendary in every military skill, provided they don't go insane first. 

If children aren't even implemented in a way that won't end up getting them burnt in magma.  I assure you, there is no way to implement books without someone deciding to use magma to make it "work" differently.   

And this is why I love this game!  All I want is for bibliophiles to run the school out of the library, making it (possibly) less desirable to burn the children, or the bibliophiles, in magma.  I don't see how we got off on this tangent anyway, exactly.

Look, just because we CAN burn something in magma doesn't mean we WILL. A dwarf who keeps skipping work to read? High on the hit-list, right before dwrves without useful skills.
And we got on this tangent because someone thought biblophiles should be lazy.

If bronze colossi can heal, steel FBs can probably fight off corrosion.

I want to be able to make a fortress out of cake for reasons that I've forgotten. I also want to be able to make bread and cake to eat as well. How would I make bread and cake be makeable?

Let me know if I messed something up in comprehension.

Well, a person's guardian is generally the person who looks after them - a brother, parent, pet, orphanage leader, drill sergeant, etc. It would seem that your character's guardian is already sort of dead, though, so it works out fine.

I knew that, but understanding context would help. I suppose it's a good thing that it wasn't needed, ttyhouggh.

You wake up and discover an empty city.

It is Chicago on Christmas Eve, 2012. There is no one around. You must try and figure out what's going on while not dying.

I will take five characters at a time. Actions for these characters may be suggested by anyone once we get started, although the original poster will get precedence. I'll do my best to incorporate all actions for a given character, though.

You may submit characters for when the current set buys the farm. A character submitted must have at least the following traits:
Submitted characters will be added to the Waiting List. The character on top will be the first to be added, obviously.
