So, Cwinuwil Fyrfolgsyn.

 

He is or if you're reading this right now and not in the future where I actually grind the levels, a ninja. Who's a Roegadyn. Sea Wolf, too.

 

So with that knowledge, on with the themes.

 

Default

Minoru Mukaiya - Sekigahara - Big and heavy, with an obvious Japanese flair. Ideally, I'd find a way to double bass this or add to it, but I'm a worse producer than I am a RPer so using the track as is will have to do. It also fits with his more business-first party-later attitude when he's on an actual mission. The mold of the stoic ninja had to be enlarged to xxxxl size for this Roe, but it still fits him quite nicely.

 

Fun fact : When I wrestled, this was also my entrance theme since I had a sumo wrestler gimmick.

 

We Guilty Now

Daisuke Ishiwatari - Riches in Me - No Doman flair this time around friends, but rather a more introspective piece that still rocks fairly damn hard. He's had to deal with his fear of the flame, as well as reinventing himself, so something that has a slow buildup fits that part of his personality well, I believe.

 

No Ryuji Sasai musiboner representative yet.

Please explore my love's endurance

And stay, stay

Please endure my love's exhortations

No way, no fucking way, no

 

 

On this side

You wanna see that

There's no change

And somewhere to stay

You're gonna see that

There's no change

Nowhere to stay

I usually end up with playlists, though so far I only have them for two so far for music for them, and working on a 3rd's

 

Kal's playlist is like a mix of music to pump you up for dancing or fighting (mostly fighting), kind of angsty shit, sea shanties or irish (rock/metal) music, sex related stuff, and badass lady songs (shit from like The Pretty Reckless, Halestorm, The Dirty Youth, In this Moment, Djerv, Pink, etc)

Dheina's is mostly music-box type of music and shit like Owl city. Her playlist is shorter though because it's surprisingly hard to find music for her :I But it's mostly cutesy and calming stuff, and stuff that's kind of woodsy/pagany/farm... though admittedly a lot of it is also stuff from zelda games for places like Faron woods, forest temple, kokiri village, and kakariko village type of music

Sam's is kinda similar to Kal's, minus a lot of the sex and trouble-maker "yeah let's fuck things up!" type of music. Right now a lot of sea-shanty, irish music, shit from Zelda windwaker, and similar stuff that would fit a Lominsan

Honestly only really got into rp stuff for them somewhat recently so trying to figure out the character a bit and playlist is pretty much a work in progress :I

I don't remember if I posted in here :o If I did, it was a while ago! Anyways, I feel like music, to me, really does define a roleplay mood. I can't quite get into the groove if I don't have some ambience. Here's some links for stuff I use when RPing as Lily (I'd use spoiler tags, but for some reason I kinda forgot how to, lel).

 

(Really nice meditation music.)

 

(I use this a lot particularly because I've used Yukari as Lily's faceclaim in the past, good for sad ambiences.)

 

"Good Ending" Music (Definitely good to use when you end a RP arc on a good note!)

 

(Good for "bad endings".)

 

 

This is it for now because I could seriously go on for far too long--I think I might literally have a song for every RP occasion. x.x

Evangeline's theme music would be by the band Streetlight Manifesto. She seemes like a Ska kind of girl.

 

Most of the songs would fit... but this one is my favorite

 

 

"I never wanted this, no one ever wanted this

but they gave it to you so you might as well be proud of it

and I don't know where we went wrong

all I know now is I got to do something right"

Okay ... I'll bite.

 

I generally don't select big arching ''theme songs'' for my characters. Instead I find inspiration in traditional tunes and lyrics that I feel would be familiar to them.

 

For Klynzahr this means lots of sea shanties and maritime tunes, like this one by Great Big C.

I am reminded of this next one every time that Klyn runs into a fresh young adventurer. It may not refer to a sea going vessel, but it sums up her experiences very nicely. I could easily imagine her singing this after a couple of drinks.

The Bluenose is a bit loaded but the imagery is wonderful and ties to Klyn's story on many levels.

I just realized that I have gotten a ton of inspiration from Stan Rodgers. His songs about leaving the sea behind really speak for Klynzahr.

 

However if I had to pick one, I think this sums her character up extraordinarily well.

 

She is The Idiot (just swap East for West and Factory for Ship.)

"So I bid farewell to the Western town

I never more will see.

But work I must, so I eat this dust

and breathe refinery.

 

Oh I miss the green and the woods and streams

And I don't like [ul'dahn] clothes

But I like being free, and that makes me

An Idiot I suppose."
