Filling in the gaps in DF

"Wilderness" adventures and difficult travel are part of the genre. However, the character types in question strike me as at best modest tweaks to existing templates. For example, a pirate is simply a swashbuckler who picked Seamanship and Climbing from the existing list of background skills, while an equestrian is probably a knight with good horse skills and a really good horse (say, from DF5). Barbarians are already outdoor specialists.

To put it another way, a number of these character types are already there, or at worst near misses.
