So, I made this new character that I hope I get to play one day, inspired by a character from the book «Kings of the Wyld», which, as far as I’ve been told by one who read the book, is about a group of old-ish, retired mercenaries/adventurers, who end up having to go back to work, being really metal, just messing around like a DnD-party.
And me being me, ended up writing the lyrics for an entire power metal song for his band. It could have ended there, but an amazing fellow I knew from one of the Discord servers I’m on decided he wanted to make music for the song as well, and recorded it with vocals and everything.
The character I made, Skari «Skullsmasher» is now, 15 years after rowing the lands with his mercenary band «The Flaming Beholders», a king of a land and happily married to the half orc princess he ended up rescuing. He hates his duties as king, and don’t really like the hassle and responsibility of kingdom, queen and seven children - he dreams of the «Good old days» with the Flaming Beholders, so when I eventually find myself getting to play Skari, he has most likely just recently run away from the kingdom - either with a lousy exuse or not - away to find crazy adventures - probably with his wife chasing him - his wife, who btw is the one thing he fears the most in life.)

And thus I give to those interested:
«Disintegration Ray» by the Flaming Beholders.
You find the music and lyrics on my twitter here: https://twitter.com/typyourbard/status/1034358066446327808?s=21
