Character music

[Erik Mynhier]

This, because it reminds me of Southern Thanalan, my story is taking me that way, and because we (my musical group) have been rehearsing this song for two weeks for our little show at the art collective.

[Hyakki]

That Snake Girl, always getting into trouble...

[Kellach Woods]

Oh man the only people I can think of in terms of songs are the characters I've not RPed with.

 

So, in short, everyone but Kellach lolz.

 

Oblivion Leaf

As someone who was born under a very grim fate (Oblivion is actually a given name as her actual Roe name would translate into something else that's somehow worse - Oblivion is similar, however) to the point where she believes she shares a special relationship with Thal and his realm. Since nothing I really listen to fits her, here's what I'd use (just... replace any mention of Spinal with Thal and it fits, really)

Aurimont Balzac

Forget what I put before, this is the one that fits him a bit more. Gratuitous French because Elezen + fits more his Duskwight Gladiator esthetic + song about the obligations of fitting in a society you hate everything about.

 

To be honest, this is so fucking obscure I really thought I couldn't find it on Youtube.

[HonZoMon]

Epic thread! :thumbsup:

 

Hmm, well this one's easy for Honzo. Not much he wouldn't do for a girl that touches his heart.

[LiadansWhisper]

Unexpectedly found this recently, and decided that it's very fitting for Liadan and her regrets regarding her family, and especially her parents:

[Dat Oni]

Every time Edgar does a Frontline battle with the Maelstrom...

 

ugx48uvvURc

 

The King and his men

stole the Queen from her bed

and bound her in her bones

the seas be ours and by the powers

where we will we'll roam

 

Yo ho, all hands

Hoist the colours high

Heave ho, thieves and beggars

Never shall we die

[Mr.Phyllo]

Addison's Theme

 

Voices of Light was inspired by Joan of Arc, as was Addison's character.

[LiadansWhisper]

"This video is not available in your country."

 

[Askier]

I say this song sums up Askier's life and ability to somehow cling to life like a leach to a thigh.

Try this one.

[Jilan]

_05rnEnexM4

 

For Jilan. Stylistically, it's more fitting for someone hailing from Thanalan rather than the Shroud, but it's the best song I know for general themes of not being able to return to one's home and holding on to one's culture.

 

zDX0TZ3Kca4

 

For Autriche, probably Lifetime of Adventure by Tuomas Holopainen.

[WanderingWordsmith]

I don't normally use music to get IC, per se, but looking at this I was struck by the thought of Ghost Towns Along the Highway, by John Mellencamp. It's a decidedly more melancholy approach to Averill's reasons for living on the road:

EDIT - After a particularly emotionally charged scene, I've come to apply this song to some of Averill's darker moments:

[Verad]

Something for the rare occasion that Verad should be taken seriously:

 

ZRBItl--TQM

 

And for the rest of the time:

[Leanne]

Two music of Leanne I imagine while she's traveling:

Ryoko's personality is hard for me to fit a song to, mostly because I'm a metal-head to the core and Ryoko's not a very metal character. Still, I think I have one which fits her life fairly well. 

IN2S_OiPAlY

 

Lyrics here on the off-chance you're interested. The idea here being that Ryoko is, at this point, still very innocent and care-free. She's under the impression that she's setting out into a bright tomorrow. What she'll quickly find out, though, is that she's been sheltered her whole life from a world which is locked in a bitter war, consumed by chaos, and on the brink of destruction. It's probably only a matter of time before that sweet, young girl from the woods loses her innocence. 

 

On a side note, whenever I'm building a character for anything, I make heavy use of this soundtrack. 

F505EWB8DPA

I love it because aside from being some of the finest 8-bit music ever composed, it also contains a song for every human emotion imaginable.

[Aldotsk]

Anelia's theme:

 

Dwy0LB5KS58

[Jana]

 

 

 

[Kellach Woods]

...think I FINALLY found a good theme for Kellach which actually captures most of what he is. Plus, old school Square-Enix track cover so you can't go wrong.

 

AeB5qIpYnmM

 

And bonus alternate track for Aurimont, the day I actually decide to play as him.

[Banquo Viaquo]

Since Brandt's the one on my mind for now, I'll go with one for peace:

And one for fighting:

[Dat Oni]

One day Ed's just gonna break out an acoustic guitar and start singing this, sitting on the roof of the Academy's estate.

Bards are free to provide accompanying vocals.

[Dat Oni]

Double-post bump combo!

 

Edgar's song at last.

That takes me back... back to roughly November of 2008, if I recall correctly. I really miss the feeling of magic and wonder I used to get from that game... Anyway, the nickelharpa is such a superb instrument, I really wish more games would make use of it. 

 

This is the song I've actually listened to a couple of times while writing Ryoko's new (retcon'd) wiki: 

Yxt9iv1fyRI

 

And this was the inspiration for her, pre-retcon

edit: Wow, I already posted in this thread. On the previous page, even. Did not remember doing that...

[Telluride]

I'm a lover of classic rock, and so it should be no surprise that this is Nathan Telluride in a nutshell:
