I love adding music to my characters--I've been doing it since I first started roleplaying on forum boards ^^ A few of my characters have actually spawned directly from the mood of a particular piece rather than the other way around.
One thing I prefer doing with it though is limiting myself to using thematic pieces without lyrics (and if it does have lyrics, they're usually cryptic or metaphorical) so that listeners can better identify with the character I'm associating the music with rather than the lyrics/message of the song itself. In my opinion, anyway.
-Cough- So anyways, this is the music I picked out for Merkaris since his original development as a D&D character. He carries with him a blissful outlook on many things in addition to a powerful sense of adventure and a limitless amount of curiosity. To me, this particular piece brings to mind images of green, windswept fields and pathway, urging such a traveler forward towards unexplored lands. All the while, however, there is a sense of depth along with the idea that it is not just the world being explored, but the character himself. :3
