Figured I might as well bring this little gem of a post-procrastenation thread back. Mostly because I need to do soemthing before going to work in the Bazaar. The basic premise is simple for the thread. I'll start it off with what I think it is for Leon. You don't have to use your own, but would be nice to.

What song would fit your character best?

Leon Timyon - Stray Cat Strut, by The Stray Cats.

Waaa!! I've thought of this many times, suprisingly enough, yet never come up with anything definent...I actually tried writing some form of a song with Daimonic words...but I can't sing to save my life.

EDIT: I've come up with some for other charcters, as well...but my memory stinks....*sniff*....

There are a few bands I'll listen to when I'm getting into the mood to write Caduceus, but none of the songs really fit him.

I suppose that, push comes to shove, Invasion From Within by Tsunami Bomb almost, barely fits.:p

EDIT: I am an idiot. I was sitting here listening to Evanescence and didn't think of Bring Me To Life. >.>

That fits much better, for reasons you'll see eventually.

I remember this thread from before. Can't remember my choices exactly though, so I'll just try to write those that come to mind.

Letho - Explosive by Bond, Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down, Forever In Love by Sylver
Rheawien - Beautiful by Creed, Whatever by Godsmack
Malagen - Bad to the Bone by whoever the hell sings it
The Cinderella Man - Loser by 3 Doors Down, Broken by Seether feat. Amy Lee
Jared - No Frontiers by The Corrs

Passive by A Perfect Circle
Creep by Radiohead

They seem pretty good for him.

Of Free Will
02-28-07, 07:52 PM
Alive with the Glory of Love by: Say Anything

if u listen to the lyrics, they fit Elijah's history perfectly

Hmm... I'll have to dig through my playlist to answer this...

And ask the Girls, too.

But for the ones I already know...

Mine: Stray - ((From Wolf's Rain))

Murakama Asuka: Why, or Why Not - ((Hiroyuki Oshima feat))

I'll see what other ones come to mind. :D

I love this old gem. It's easy too, considering I have a whole playlist of songs for when I write Althanas stuff.

Sanoe
"Warning" - Angela Aki
"Witchy Woman" - The Eagles
"Sympathy" - The Goo Goo Dolls
"My Medea" - Vienna Teng
"Everything" - Alanis Morisette

Hana
"Gotta Knock A Little Harder" - Yoko Kanno
"No Rain" - Blind Melon
"Suddenly I See" - KT Tunstall

Rabhya

"Maneater" - Nelly Furtado
"On A Plain" - Nirvana
"Karma Slave" - Splashdown
"Everybody's Fool" - Evanescence

I think I've thought about this a tad too much.

I don't listen or attribute anything particular to any specific characters... it's more a specific style of music that puts me in the right mood for each.

For all of them I can listen to something like My Chemical Romance. More specifically...

Ranger
Indy music, not independant label, but the genre. Franz Ferdinand, for example. Or softer rock, like Muse or something.

Osato
Hardcore, Underoath/Dead Poetic/Opeth/Flyleaf for example.

The Others
Regular rock/screamo. I like to listen to Unseen's myspace playlist, which has anything from Underoath to Tool (on of my favorites) to Rob Zombie and Marylin Manson.

Cielalune
03-01-07, 01:06 AM
Cielalune - Southern Cross by 403
Yowake Umare Shoujo by Takahashi Yoko
Fiction by Yuki Kajiura
Colors by FLOW

Ai Ren Xian - Shanghai Honey by Orange Range

Devin Argente

Devin
Virus ~ Iron Maiden
Eye of the Beholder ~ Metallica

Thoth
Blinded By Fear ~ At the Gates (easy one)

Shadrian
Sweating Bullets ~ Megadeth

But it's not like I listen exclusively to those songs while writing. Fortunately not.

Karuka
03-01-07, 12:56 PM
For Karuka, she has two theme BANDS: Evanescence and Within Temptation.
Tack on "Scars" by Papa Roach, and you have a Karuka.

I haven't decided for Anila or Sara, though.

Corvus MacCallum

Corvus

The Cage - by Sonata Artica
Hunting High and Low - by Stratovarious
Signs 2 - From the PS2 Berserk game
Forever - by Stratovarious

The Mime

Boulvevard of Broken Dreams - by Greenday
Greensleeves - Can't recall but there is a nice stratovarious version

I'll fill in the rest later.

The theme songs for this character shall be

Indigo Girls - Closer to Fine
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Rise Against - Behind Closed Doors
Social Distortion - Reach for the Sky
Zombina and the Skeletones - I Love Rock and Roll (More than I love you)
Emery - Holding Out for a Hero
Metallica - Wherever I May Roam


For her and Rumplegrumblepuss
Trivium - This World Can't Tear Us Apart


Yes, toss these songs together on a playlist, and you, my lovelies, have me.

Rajani Aishwara

Rajani Aishwara's personal themes are Crystal Ball by Keane, Helicopter by The Feeling, and Glory Bound by Martin Sexton.

The Peregrine's (ship) theme is Are You In? by Incubus. It's principle Cast & Crew (Mohana, Tiberia, Aton, & Gaius), their theme is Like That by the Black Eyed Peas, Talib Kweili, Q-Tip, Gnarls Barkley, & John Legend. I thought that would be nice since there's no Hip Hop around here. I like to play that song when I'm brainstorming scenes with them because it seems like the energy of the song is transfered into their dynamic.

Solomon

This is a really neat idea for a thread!

Solomon -- Crystal Ball, by Styx

Fenris
03-01-07, 10:04 PM
Fihrinn: "Sound the Bugle," by Bryan Adams, featured on the Spirit soundtrack.

Zerith
03-03-07, 12:15 PM
Zerith - Calvary, by Hello Kelly

...though Lisean thinks it should be the classic "I need a hero"

Lisean
03-03-07, 12:20 PM
Lisean's Themes:

- Vicarious by Tool
- Kodou by Dir En Grey
- So Cold by Breaking Benjamin
- Lithium by Evanescence

Anila
03-03-07, 12:40 PM
Anila's theme (at least one of them) has to be "Bring It" by Cobra Starship.

Now for a more complete list of Leon's songs in a general dissaray sort of presentation!

Stray Cats - Stray Cat Strut
Credence Clearwater Revivel - Bad Moon rising
Queen - 39'
The Dropkick Murphey's - The Green Fields of France
The Cars - Shake it Up
Queen - Don't Stop Me Now
Company of Wolves - Call of the Wild

Massacre
03-03-07, 03:04 PM
For A'rei I'd say that Terminal Spirit Disease by At the Gates would fit well. Swedish metal. :)

orphans
03-30-07, 12:21 AM
Current Theme for Azza... I'd probably have to say at this point is~

Wood Stick - Tenpai Seto

Ithermoss
03-31-07, 09:22 AM
I suppose that, push comes to shove, Invasion From Within by Tsunami Bomb almost, barely fits.:p

Awesome song!! Exactly the one I used back when Ithermoss was a rotting half-drake... that, and "I am a Revenant" by the Distillers.

As cheesy as it is, Rakh's best fitting song would be "Dig Up Her Bones" by the Misfits.

I've used a microphone to splice together a bit of music on VGmusic, and it makes a pretty good theme song. Unfortunately, no clue how I would upload it, and since I've spliced it myself, there is no link that I can direct you to. Still... Sounds pretty good.

The Time To Kill Is Now - Cannibal Corpse

Antigonus the One-Eyed

Zero
04-06-07, 12:24 PM
I'd have to say Velius' theme song is obviously The Safety Dance by Men Without Hats... either that or something like Where Eagles Dare by The Misfits.



Ooo, or maybe Salty Dog by Flogging Molly.

Atzar
04-06-07, 12:39 PM
Atzar - Burn by Sevendust
Khariss - Believe by Breaking Benjamin
