[QUOTE="AvarielAvenger, post: 266820, member: 5351"] Pffft. Wulf isn't a [i]real[/i] Dwarf. You see, to truly be a Dwarf, you must meet certain prerequisites. If you fail to do so, you are not living up to the stereotypical view of a Dwarf, and as we all know, non stereotypical Dwarves are about as common as, say, the Dodo bird. Behold the checklist of being a real Dwarf: 1. Have a Beard. This is vital. All Dark Sun Dwarves fail this test, and thus aren't real Dwarves. Wulf: Passes. 2. Love Ale. No Dwarf has ever failed this test. Ever. Wulf: Passes. 3. Love fighting. It is almost unheard for a Dwarf to fail this test, yet sadly, it has occured once or twice, the "Dwarves" that did this being immediately marked as false. Wulf: Passes. 4. Wield either an Axe, or a Hammer. An Axe is preferred, thanks to Gimli, but you can make it with a Hammer, thanks to the forging image and many Dwarven Deities. Wulf: Passes. 5. Frequently curse, and be at least halfway insulting to all other party members, particularly Elves. Precedent set by Gimli for the latter. Wulf: Passes. 6. Have a general disdain for all other races and things that are in some way not Dwarven. All things not Dwarven are inferior, and must be mocked and ridiculed as such. Wulf: Passes. 7. Be Lawful. This is vital. All Dwarves respect other Dwarves. All Dwarves are almost as organized and set in their ways as your average Formian. All Dwarves don't like Chaotics, like Elves, and Orcs. Because anything other than Lawful is a sin. Wulf: Fails. So as you can see, while Wulf passes six out of seven of the prerequisites for being a true Dwarf, he fails the last, and thus, at best, is a "psuedo-Dwarf", who appears to be a Dwarf, but upon close inspection is revealed to actually be a slight anomaly from the racial norm, and thus not really part of the hive mind. If Wulf were ever to become Lawful, though, he'd meet all the prerequisites for being a real Dwarf. ;) [/QUOTE]
