Everyone has one. Since time immemorial, people have associated a piece of music with their character. So, let's see and hear what everyone has for theirs!

Mine:

Atlas Revaan: Together as one (http://youtu.be/EOvo0t4qUqw)
Shinsou Vaan Osiris: Trivium - Silence in the Snow (http://youtu.be/PcIlZ3luYHc)
Temperance: Slipknot - The Negative One (http://youtu.be/sgA7KIwKlOE)

Madison's theme song basically changes with my mood, but more often than not nowadays it's Carpenter Brut's "Anarchy Road" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk3n-CkQao8)

I can't say I've ever thought of my character having a theme song...

Having said that I do imagine certain music playing when I'm trying to write a certain type of scene. Though I wouldn't count that as a theme song by any means.

Off the top of my head, these would fit the best with my character at present.

Sage: Hills of a radiant wind (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNZmzLzvJo8) or Song of the Ancients Fate (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5xZbJDZZo4)

I've actually toyed with the idea of writing a thread where each post uses an optional link to a song to listen to for the reader as a sort of "soundtrack" to the story. Unfortunately I haven't been able to connect the dots yet, would need to hook up with another writer cool with the concept or write a solo.

I agree with Andy; my character changes quite a bit and moods differ depending on his company. Like many characters, he's too complex for a single song to be that pervasive.

Were I to pick one song to play to any one of a number of songs by Tool, since they have such a great energy and eclectic sound. Forty Six & 2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tja6_h4lT6A) is a favorite, but Lateralus, Eulogy, or Parabola could all help paint a great picture.

That does sound a rather interesting idea, but I suspect it'll be rather tough actually. I have no idea if the music I listen to would be taken the same way I take it, I myself like using a lot of instrumentals, particularly from movies. So I could be kidding myself lol. However done right it certainly helps influence emotion.

Awesome, awesome idea. Might become standard for me now.

Also, I quite like Vicarious.

I have a playlist of themes for Ashla in my signature (via youtube) my top three though are

- "Monster" by Paramore.
- "As Winter Stays" by Ilia.
- "Heavy Prey" by Lacey.


Same story with Felicity, also have a playlist in that character's siggy, including...
- "Through the Oppression of the Wicked" by Don't Wake Aislin.
- "Bulletproof" by 12 Stones.
- "Monster" by Skillet.

As you can tell, I like female fronted rock.groups... ._.

It depends on my character's mood as the good people commented above me; but if I had to pick two:

Bruce Faulconer's The Dragon Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgJ1heSrskY

And Marcin Przybyłowicz & Percival's Ladies of the Woods: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGSTDVz5-oY

All of those. All of them.
