Is there currently any way to make a retired non-dwarf adventurer playable in fortress mode? Can they become citizens if they're made official bards of hearthpersons or something before retiring on site?
I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but reports are that if you become a hearthperson, you will be a citizen.  If you become a bard, then it's like all other performers in an inn -- you stay at the inn and you then petition for full residency after 2 years.  As a performer, you can't do any duties, but will be able to do them after getting full residency.  So the fast way in is hearthperson, which requires that you have build up some reputation as a fighter.

Thanks. Any idea what the minimum level of royalty needed to accept a hearthperson is? My expedition leader can be spoken to about becoming a bard but not a hearthperson.

In your own forts you can only become a fortress guard (same thing as hearthperson) if you have a captain of the guard. I think militia commanders/captains can let you join as well, fairly sure I saw that atleast once.

In my world a blizzard incarnate died in the year 5. but that's not the weird part. the weird part is that in 11, 6 years after he died, he somehow made a tablet which then had a foo-mancer learn the secrets of foo.
How did the blizzard make a secret-holding tablet after his death?

In a similar vein, are there any captains of the guard in any non-player made dwarven sites?

all sites will have nobels. in fact you have to all necessary nobels in sites(respecting stuff like LAND_HOLDER and population), when not actively playing that fort. if, for one thing, you don't people for all the nobles(one unique person for each position), then retire, all noble positions will be filled by unique(unique in that they have no other position) random dwarves. for the other example, if you put in the entity file that only one creature can have that position, and the entity has no such creature, then it will be filled by a random creature.

Short answer:yes, there are captains of the guard in non-player made sites.(although they may be called the sheriff)

Ah, I should have clarified. I was looking for captains of the guards specifically to see if my adventurer could become a fort guard from them. Tried doing so with militia commanders and sheriffs to no effect. I did happen to find a captain hidden within a fortress, which finally let me become a guard, so that settles things.

It says that my character "dreams of falling in love". Is this an actual feature?

Yes and no. Dreams could be accomplished, but, as far as I know, this can only be done in Fortress Mode. Even then, that specific dream can't be done by adventurers, as all of them are asexual.

How can I compose musisc specifically for my instrument? The instrument belongs to my civilization, but none of two forms I have acces to seems to produce compositions for that instrument.

You need to know a form that uses the instrument.  I've wondered if hearing a song in a tavern will allow you to learn the form, but haven't had time to experiment yet.  Other things to try are finding books with songs in them.  I've never actually seen one, but since you can write them, it should be possible.

I actually have already experimented a bit. Standing near perfomance works for learning poems, so I guess that it should work for music as well.
The problem is that, it seems that there are fewer forms than instruments, so I'm wondering if it possible that some instruments are undemanded by any form. Then there are no way to actually use some instruments. 

Regarding books, I also have not seen any books with music, I remember some with poems though.

I've learned forms and passed them on to my own adventurers with books I wrote about them, you can learn dances, music, poetry, all from a book or performance.

I looked at this( http://i.imgur.com/MxKND0g.png ) lately, and I was wondering what causes a demon to pretend to be the queen? how does it get married?  does it look like a human until it reveals itself?

I don't know of a version where the game worked like that, but it's amusing.
