Character music - Dogberry - 06-20-2013
I know I"m not the only one who uses music to get into character, and looks for songs that I like that "feel" like the character to me. I'm curious about what yours are.
For Dogberry, his song would be "Blood and Thunder" by Mastodon.

I still can't think of anything for Reinbach. She's a tricky one.

This song get's me in a Tim'a type of mood. (When he's in a better-less sulky mood)

This is what I listen to when I RP with Aehtel and he is talking to someone.

He panics easily, so this gets me in the mood!

I don't like people using "theme songs" for their character, but I use music when getting into character as well. I also use it for writing (my friend and I are writing a comic book saga with a lot of medieval elements), reading, and drawing. I have quite a few songs, most from soundtracks, that I use when thinking about my character.
I like to think of different mood music for my character as well. I'm a big fan of multi-dimensional characters. Sometimes you have to get serious and defend the people, sometimes you just want to hang out in the market.
Since I have a lot of mood music, here are quite a few, though not nearly all, of my preferred songs:
Walking around Gridania and interacting with locals, or taking a sunday chocobo ride through the Shroud:

If I had to pick a theme song:

Or this:

I know the last one is a bit cliche, but he's a dragon hunter from the mountains with highlander ancestry... give me a break.
Sorry there's so many. No one song should be able to describe a character, in my opinion.
RE: Character music - Aysun - 06-20-2013
I struggle with the theme song business. There's always songs that may remind me of a situation or a scene or a feeling, but not like "THIS IS MEH THEME."
If I were to chose for Aysun, I like this one.

RE: Character music - Dogberry - 06-20-2013
Yes, usually I have a "soundtrack" for my characters that can be any number of songs that fit. I just posted one for the sake of brevity and discussion. I didn't want to bog anyone down with a thousand songs to listen to.
RE: Character music - Rhostel - 06-20-2013
There was a thread like this a few months ago. *goes digging for it* AHA!
My response there still applies, but I'm gonna go think about my other characters now.

This would definitely be Ashren's theme song.

Great selection Uther - nice to see Kingdom of Heaven on there (Ibelin for Ul'dah seems to fit nicely
I tend to listen to the game music more often than not, or just a random playlist I've compiled that is for any gaming I do, leaving me to actually like having theme songs for RP characters. Not saying that one song can do a character justice 100% of the time, but in certain situations definitely.
My main - Lizzo Trange (Garlean refugee noble Hyur, Thaumaturge)

Thanks! And nice use of Grizzly Hills! I have that one on my iPod!Â
RE: Character music - Caysen - 06-20-2013
Such musical diversity here! It's great.
Caysen doesn't really have a specific theme, just a bunch of stuff. Stuff that isn't even on YouTube... so here's a few Spotify links.
The Wandering Tree - "Sea To Sea"
The Canvas Waiting - "Chasing Color"
Pioneer - "Long Way Home"
Future Of Forestry - "Traveler's Song"
RE: Character music - Gerik - 06-20-2013
Kinda see this as fitting for Gerik.

because a cat's the only cat

Between your choice of music, and your Leon signature, I think I just developed a small crush on you.
