Character music if your character was just slightly different - AquiziTC - 11-05-2016
Ok so I'm a huge fan of music in terms of ambience, tone, and mood setting, and I use it a lot in my writing when it can be more of a multimedia sort of project.
I also love character themes, whether for certain events or just leitmotifs or the like.
A lot of us probably do have at least one, if not multiple musical themes for our characters that fit their personalities or histories.
The challenge I propose is -- what if something happened just a little bit differently to your character? What if instead of a specific life event occurring, the coin flipped and Fate decided on a different outcome? How would it effect the feel and emotion of their themes today?
Example for Tenrilaux here. He's pretty jaded and cynical and has a more serious and darker look upon things. I reflect that in his general theme with the song I have in his wiki (which I recently remade which is why the song is so darn new). However as I was going through Civ 6 music, I stumbled upon Greece's industrial era theme, and that was when this thought occurred to me. It would fit Ten greatly -- IF he were just a bit more heroic. If some of the stuff that happened to him in Ishgard played out just a tiny bit differently.
So as I said the normal theme is in the wiki so I won't like it here again, but if he were just that little bit more ... pleasant, he could have easily sounded like this. https://youtu.be/-T3t2LdCEBw?t=2m34s
Anyway I thought this could be a fun little character expression challenge.
