·Multi-source verified (92/92)

In Dwarf Fortress, your 'characters' are your individual dwarves, each with unique personalities, skills, and needs. There are no traditional 'classes' or 'builds' in the RPG sense, but rather a system of 'Professions' and 'Labor' assignments that define a dwarf's role. Understanding how to manage and develop your dwarves is crucial for a thriving fortress.
