Well, with the [MAXAGE] tag, what it does is assume that the min-max values are average for that race. Dwarf is 150-170, I think. For every year after 170, a dwarf has an increasing chance of dying on their birthday.

Being that Kaladin is 194, means he passed 24 ever-more-difficult rolls to check if he is still alive.

I am a girl...
And am the only dwarf with gold eyes. Everyone else has brass eyes.

Hunting me because of golden eyes would be racism. You monster.
Just because of less grey skin (I did look up the colours) and brighter eyes, you would kill me?

Also I am the "oldest" dwarf ever, and trained in battle strategy.

Actually, the Dwarves of our kingdom seem to have Dark Tan skin for the most part, with pale brown hair and brass eyes. Grey isn't even a possible dwarven color.

Actually, Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum, your dwarf's profile matches Zefon Lorbamidash's profile EXACTLY! Reudh, did you rename a migrant, or did you pick someone from the fort? Either a duplication bug has occured, someone tried to disguise herself as Zefon, this is an extreme coincidence, or Reudh mistook our resident werelizard for just a random worker.

Dark tan is a greyish brown, while sandy taupe is a golden brown.

I believe I am pretending to be a werebeast... because it would be sad to not be existing...
It is possible I am a ghost possessing Zefon.

If Reudh did rename Zefon, then I'm afraid he'll have to change your dwarf, because Zefon is already an established character.

That's quite possible. Lemme just start it up.

FAKE EDIT: Yes. Yes, I did.

Okay, I renamed Zefon to "Zefon", that way it shows up as an edited nickname. My bad.

This is why it's better to use migrants, if at all possible.

Well, that's disappointing. You need to fix the labors then. That could have ended badly... ::)

Also it would be better if my name was just Kaladin "last name". Just easier to read and such.

lets face it guys we are racists.
we hate elfs for their pointy ears.
we hate humans bacause they are taller then us.
and we hate goblins because they are green.
i would not be surprised if we would hate you for having golden eyes

Dwarves are racist, but not arbitrarily so:

Hate elves for getting all touchy about the trees and talking down to dwarves
Hate goblins for pillaging, kidnapping, and killing
Humies are ok, usally

Elves are way worse than goblins. At least goblins stand by their convictions. They want to snatch some babies, and they by gods DO IT.

Elves deeply hate those who disrespect nature, but yet they don't bother to say anything about it unless you have nobility to talk to. Being snooty is more important than their core ethics, I guess. All the while they're trading with you anyway, two faced, inconsistent fops.  Then when you do get a baron they're like "Oh uh please don't chop down trees" and then a whole year later "Uh I'm just trying to be polite here, guy, maybe a compromise? Maybe like, 200 trees? Please like me!" And then a whole year later, maybe they'll get around to invading if you chop down the whole forest. Something like 7 years after you first performed capital offenses in their eyes? And even then they don't even stand you down face to face about it. They snipe you from the tree line. As if they still want you to like them even while invading ("maybe he won't know it's us shooting him!").

They are the very embodiment of pushovery passive aggressive,.... everything the opposite of dwarves.

I'm willing to bet if you captured their diplomat with a webbed trap, then chained him in front of the trading depot with an elven caravan, build a carpentry shop right in front of them from freshly cut trees 10 yards away, crafted new wooden bolts, and slowly firing squadded him to death with untrained marksdwarves in front of them... and then tried to sell the bolts to the caravan, they probably still wouldn't declare war on you.

Dwarf fortress in 50 words: You start with seven alcoholic, manic-depressive dwarves. You build a fortress in the wilderness where EVERYTHING tries to kill you, including your own dwarves. Usually, your chief imports are immigrants, beer, and optimism. Your chief exports are misery, limestone violins, forest fires, elf tallow soap, and carved kitten bone.
