So. A while back (and I mean a long long time ago) this idea wormed into the brains of me and some people that I regularly RP with. Namely, that every character has three defining songs to them. A theme song with lyrics, and instrumental theme song, and a song that the character would sing if they the world was a musical. I thought it might be fun to take this premise and share with one another our findings. Maybe even discuss a bit. Feel free to post links. Leave us get musically inclined. Oh! There is a 4th song! What your character's anime theme would be, but it is a side not mostly for fun. Anywho, I'll get zee ball rolling with these two. Show Content Yssen's Songs Instrumental Theme - Norwegian Pirate, Two Steps from Hell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvriqdS3vsc Lyrical Theme - Nemo, Nightwish http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj5X6om515Y If the world was suddenly a musical - Snow (Hey oh.), Red Hot Chili Peppers. Changed this to reflect ARR. Whee. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvlqclaxyP4 Show Content Ysa's Songs Instrumental Theme - First of the Year (Equinox), Skrillex http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYYyMu3pzL4 Lyrical Theme - 7 Devils, Florence + The Machine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjIwKzBg0aI If the world was suddenly a musical - Cosmic Love, Florence + The Machine (Do not think this needs much context. Heh.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-jgzVHyZd4 Okay. Your turn. Go!

I often do that for my characters, just hadn't gotten around to her. No, I won't share the list, it has 124 songs currently, and I'm not sure it's finished. Anyway, pared down that list to figure this out. Went with all Australian artists, because I can and it bloody well works. The singers all being female, though, was nothing but pleasant happenstance. There were certainly songs with male singers I considered, and they were eliminated for other reasons. Also, I choose to interpret the thing about an anime theme to be a song to use in an AMV focusing on the character. Because that makes more sense than the literal. Instrumental - Young Bodies Heal Quickly, Regurgitator Unfortunately, I can't find a proper version of this to link. Hrrngh. There's a version with talking all over it and one from a gig in the middle of a long video on YouTube if you really want to get a listen, though. Lyrical - The Start of War, Clare Bowditch & The New Slang https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSKFragED6I Can't explain it any better than the lyrics do themselves. Musical - Cinders, Sarah Blasko https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVZJ_dtNRD0 Picture her singing it around the middle of the period between EoA and ARR. AMV - The Fight, Sia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voZkK8bTLDo It's a fighty song, but hopeful, upbeat and joyous! Oh yes we stand together!

Alt. Musical Piece - Flogging Molly - Selfish Man (Another prime pick, no context needed.) Animu Piece - Star Line (stratos remix) by 元気ロケッツ (Genki Rockets) Yep. That should do it I think.

Fun to think about it, and when you find that perfect song it always helps me to get in character for RP. Well, here goes: Lyrical - Nevermore - "Moonrise (Through Mirrors of Death)" Instrumental - "Everything Fades to Grey" If the world were a musical.. Tarot - "Ghosts of Me" Anime theme - Abingdon Boys School - "Nephilim" No anime I'm aware of has actually used it as a theme song, but a Teveriel anime might.

A soldier on my own, I don't know the way I'm riding up the heights of shame I'm waiting for the call, the hand on the chest I'm ready for the fight, and fate The sound of iron shocks is stuck in my head, The thunder of the drums dictates The rhythm of the falls, the number of dead's The rising of the horns, ahead From the dawn of time to the end of days I will have to run, away I want to feel the pain and the bitter taste Of the blood on my lips, again This deadly burst of snow is burning my hands, I'm frozen to the bones, I am A million mile from home, I'm walking away I can't remind your eyes, your face" Anime: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z_hCwrNcLs Musical: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZmOV5vp5Wk

Theme song w/ lyrics: [youtube]1EWcqrYV77U[/youtube] Show Content Spoiler So young, so Brazen, so Unholy. I come to you in painted skies. Your broken saint, your ancient story. The living challenge to their lies. Trapped in the cold outside, There ain't no shelter. And they wanna force my hand, Until I... Take what I wanted, And break all the lies, And defeat the f*ckin' liars. Smash all the temples, And crawl through the rubble, And cry to the fallen. I'm the last of my kind. I'm the last of my kind, Still standing on the wall. A wolf alone upon the hillside, I live on what they throw away. I go to sleep behind the eight ball, I live to fight for one more day. I'm trapped in the cold outside, There ain't no shelter. And they wanna force my hand, Until I... Take what I wanted, And break all the lies And defeat the f*cking liars. Smash all the temples, And crawl through the rubble, And cry to the fallen. Take what I wanted, And break all the lies, And defeat the f*cking liars.

Seeing a lot of excellent music choices here. So, I get to paint my character in a picture with song? Sounds amazing. Let me take a shot at it then. I'll try to capture all of his moods and feelings. Lyrical Theme Song (Ryanti's mind.) Instrumental Theme Song (Ryanti's heart.) Anime Theme Song (Ryanti's life path.) If Life Were Suddenly a Musical (Ryanti's facade.)

ARGH too many to choose from! Instrumental (wait for 1:05 before closing it at least ) This I imagine is more of an "in town" theme, the rise and fall of voices speaking out with his own creeping up from time to time only to fade back out. Instrumental singular, when out seeing the world? I prefer a more meandering piece. Lyrical Anime Theme Song Excellent idea, hrm, now I want to listen to more...
