Dustin "Dusty" Foven can charitably be described as 'grim', though it would be more realistic to simply call him 'miserable'. It's rumored that he was transformed into the humorless misanthrope he is today by surviving in the darkest depths of Hoxxes for a week after a malfunctioning Escape Pod departed without ever opening its doors, but Dusty's instant dislike of anyone who tries to interact with him makes the truth hard to come by.

Whatever the case, what IS known is thus: he has been with the company longer than anyone can remember, he exclusively runs solo operations, and his nickname is a very literal one.

Example Weapon Post posted:

This rifle was presented to Dusty with great ceremony when he was inducted into the hallowed ranks of the Scale Brigade, but decades of hard use have long since scoured it of its shine. Despite its ragged appearance, it has been maintained rigorously and tuned to perfection.

Another Example Weapon Post, but with a different style of picture posted:

Dusty's shotgun resembles a homemade scattergun built from random scrap, and that's because it is. Loaded with dangerously overpowered ammunition, he ducks the associated maintenance costs by simply making a new one when the old one falls apart.

Example Pickaxe posted:

Even though the chipped finish and taped handle make this pickaxe look like a worn hand-me-down, it's easily the most valuable thing Dusty owns. Many fortunes were spent in every step of its creation; from the forging of its artisanal alloys, to the synthesization of its metamaterial components, to the delicate crafting of its maximally efficient design. It's a modern artifact that can carve through any material with ease - and it even comes with a handy carabiner clip on the pommel!

I actually met the worst player I've ever seen a few days ago. Pugging Haz 5s everyone is very chill, there's the aura of the greybeard who knows the game inside and out and loves shooting bugs, just wants you to be promoted, stay up in most fights, put your r in chat and they know you'll rez them when a silent exploder gets them too.

So I enter a mining run and there's a 2250. Guy speed runs the four man mission in dead silence, activates everything he finds immediately, scans and solos a helmet, dropkicks Moll-e's drop pod button while striding past the cargo crate batteries we're investigating and bolts to the pod by himself.

The rest of us could fight our way out. I've got that nice internal map sense and gordian knotted my way through the non-Moll-e path to circle to the pod while hitting the post helmet loot, the other two separated at some point and went full Driller back to the pod. Really justified my using LURE over shredders that day. I met them at the front of their tunnel as Mr 2250 sat in the pod, I wish I'd notice them do it sooner.

But drat dude, if you've become an addict/robot who exists to play DRG every day why not use Solo? Real unpleasant aura.

Are we supposed to only post one dwarf for the contest or should we post our whole roster?

• You can enter as many times you want, but only one entry per poster will be counted. Which entry gets picked will be the one I think is the strongest of your entries!
