Dogberry Posted June 20, 2013 Share #1 Posted June 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. v-Su1YXQYek I still can't think of anything for Reinbach. She's a tricky one. Link to comment
CassandraJean Posted June 20, 2013 Share #2 Posted June 20, 2013 This song get's me in a Tim'a type of mood. (When he's in a better-less sulky mood) [video=youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OySnO_JQ5QA 1 Link to comment
Aeiteil Strand Posted June 20, 2013 Share #3 Posted June 20, 2013 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! Link to comment
Grott Posted June 20, 2013 Share #5 Posted June 20, 2013 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: Epic aerial Dragoon combat: Thinking about Ishgard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF0JKk4AaiU Visiting Ul'dah: Nighttime after an adventure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7nJyh_TDkI If I had to pick a theme song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI_2N4ydfDc Or this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-_g8NZr1tA 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. 1 Link to comment
Aysun Posted June 20, 2013 Share #6 Posted June 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. jSfVi7TThsQ Link to comment
Dogberry Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted June 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. Link to comment
Rhostel Posted June 20, 2013 Share #8 Posted June 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. Link to comment
Havoc Snow Posted June 20, 2013 Share #9 Posted June 20, 2013 bZz74yFLkvg This would definitely be Ashren's theme song. Link to comment
Lizzo Posted June 20, 2013 Share #10 Posted June 20, 2013 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) Main Alt - Sigyn Bloebloud (Sea Wolf Roegadyn, Conjurer) (EDIT): Found more songs for my other alts - Crowe Bloebloud (Sea Wolf Roegadyn, Pugilist) Zali'ah (Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te, Arcanist) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1J3GnKwECc H'uang Fan (Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te, Pugilist) Link to comment
Grott Posted June 20, 2013 Share #11 Posted June 20, 2013 Great selection Uther - nice to see Kingdom of Heaven on there (Ibelin for Ul'dah seems to fit nicely Thanks! And nice use of Grizzly Hills! I have that one on my iPod! :thumbsup: Link to comment
Caysen Posted June 20, 2013 Share #12 Posted June 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" Link to comment
Gerik Posted June 20, 2013 Share #13 Posted June 20, 2013 Kinda see this as fitting for Gerik. t-gXQqtjBjU Link to comment

Amadeus Posted June 20, 2013 Share #17 Posted June 20, 2013 Love listening to everyone's music. If Aldeus had a theme song, it would be something like this... 1qsgBF7ZIsk Link to comment

K'tahrl Posted June 21, 2013 Share #21 Posted June 21, 2013 spent a good portion of the last 2 hours trying to think of something that could possibly fit N'yumho, her design itself is filled with complexity in her own wavering sense of self. So after all that time I was beginning to lose hope, till I stumbled on this. iu2uv67j8O0 Link to comment
Dogberry Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share #22 Posted June 21, 2013 ZdFnAwL9P8I Pretty much this whole album is my soundtrack for Reinbach. It's a hardcore album about black magic, with a title referencing piracy. Very yes. Link to comment
Rhio Posted June 21, 2013 Share #23 Posted June 21, 2013 Going to second the idea of having a soundtrack more than a single song for Rhio, although there are a couple of songs that fit her to the letter. I'm skimming off the top rather than making an exhaustive list. Radiohead - Karma Police Link to comment
Cornet Espoir Posted June 21, 2013 Share #25 Posted June 21, 2013 Hmmm there are a few songs I use when role playing during certain moods. Sorry I couldn't figure out how to emb them I posted the emb link but it wouldn't work x.x This one is usually one I use during deep conversations. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJdCk_Kteog I also like this one for roleplay fights this one for long travels http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjH4VkpXXnY And this one for sad moments Link to comment
