2022 Character Creation Challenge - Day 19

Molly Hatchet.

A fun band, with a top song that defines the US (and most countries) political agenda.

Molly Hatchet is also a grand name for an AD&D fighter (or ranger) that uses a two-handed fighting style, with an axe in each hand.  Method I.

No idea of source; looks like something from the Vikings show.

Using the above picture as inspiration, I am thinking they are an Elf whose true name is unpronounceable by the ephemerals they run with, so the keep the sobriquet given them by the irreverent King Crimson when their party presented themselves at court for a well-earned reward.

I rolled an 18/80 for Strength, but the Elf limit is 18/75 for male Elves (and 16 for female Elves), so there it is.  Female humans max out at 18/50, female half-elves at 17, and male half-elves at 18/90. Under normal circumstances, I would stay as a human (or more likely ignore the gender and racial maximums, while keeping the racial minimums), but I felt committed after writing the comments about the picture and background and have been trying to stay RAW.
