If a Copper and Zinc parent have a baby Dwarf, he just might be a Brass-skinned dwarf! Keep a dwarf outside too long without a good scrubbing and he'll tarnish. Dwarves who want to impress on a hot date make sure to scrub up and get a nice sheen to their skin. Not too different from a human, really. Face cream? No. Polishing cream.Dwarves may live a long time but death is inevitable. Humans sometimes incinerate their deceased loved ones and put their ashes in a special container. Dwarves do something similar. Dwarves will honor deceased ancestors by putting them in a furnace. But it's not ashes they are looking for. No! A dwarf will leave some quantity of his skin color as residue. Copper-colored skin isn't just for show. That dwarf has real copper in his skin (and blood and bones, too). Humans just have ashes in an urn. Bah!  Melt Grandpa Gimli down into copper and honor him by making a mini-Gimli statute of him. Bronze heroes get turned into magic weapons, for example. Just imagine how powerful a weapon (or any other item) could be if it contained the remains of an entire line of Dwarven rulers.</blockquote>
