My favorites are Pacer and Tsume in my current game. Pacer is pretty much the most skilled person on the colony in quite a lot of skills (mining, constructing, repairing, etc). She got her femur shattered fighting a centipede, but managed kept working. She worked for months, probably about a year in game, doing all sorts of manual labor like constructing, mining, and hauling back heavy metal on a shattered femur. After that year I managed to replace her leg with a simple prosthetic, but she's by far the strongest and toughest person in my colony.
Tsume was quite different. He came in as a raider, and threw himself at my colony only to get shot in the head. When he woke back up, he was easily recruited, and he mainly did farming and medicine after that. When my colony descended into madness and psychopathic murder, he starved himself to keep my colonists (who were starving in their beds) alive. Eventually, during a gunfight in the base between two loyalists (one of whom was Pacer) and two rebels driven mad, he calmly walked over to the field to get some potatoes, and starved to death. I always thought he was some kind of barbaric, sick raider, but that the gunshot shot the evil out of him. When he joined the colony he loved everyone, and was a source of happiness and innocence in my colony, and he ended up starving in the field because of the actions of those evil rebels! Needless to say, the rebels were executed in rage.
