RE: Character music - AetherBaby - 08-10-2013

Ah! what a fun idea for a thread. Music helps really create a sense of who a character is I think. It's also just fun to see what everyone's musical tastes are and to discover new music I might not've known about before Big Grin 

When first browsing, a song immediately sprang to mind for my still unnamed main. I've definitely got her personality worked out, its just the shell she's going to go into that i'm still undecided on.

But anyroad, here's the song I instantly thought of for her.

RE: Character music - T'salmaveth - 08-11-2013

Working on T'sal there are a few very different songs that flitter across my mind as I go... Here are 3 that have been the most prominent today as I finished his wiki(which I'd love some feedback on, but I'll tentatively inquire about that elsewhere I guess.)

(Yes, I know that is a piccolo, but I couldn't find a flute version of it. It's the tone/feel/nature of the music... Tongue)

(This EXACTLY the type of music he would play sitting at his window-seat looking at the stars.)

RE: Character music - Gospel Gestalt - 08-11-2013

I always felt this song fit well for Gospel despite the strange name. It has an odd sense of sadness to it, yet it still manages to be warm and welcoming, much like the character. Hope you all enjoy it. Blush

RE: Character music - Kismet - 08-11-2013

Songs for Astrid were really hard to find. Geez...

As for my Miqo'te that I'm currently still planning...

The lyrics are too cheesy for my tastes (and don't really apply to the character's personality), but the overall melody & instrumental composition? Simply beautiful. The score of this track is definitely something that captures the kind of vibe I want to have while RPing that char. (Fantastic game this is from, too. All my nostalgia feels!)

RE: Character music - Costia - 08-11-2013

I sort of have a partially sappy song to represent my character Costia Demora but the words themselves fit her very well; I imagine this fit her feelings well @ the 'end'. Of course her 'love' would be less of a romantic one and more of a general love as I picture the words depicting her family. I also took the words in a past tense so when I chose this, I decided its something she lingers upon allot in her mind. Its how some of us take memories of those we lost and make them 'present' within our time and space.

RE: Character music - Lren - 08-12-2013

Great vocal theme for Lren, the lyrics really fit him in more recent years of his life!



RE: Character music - Celsius - 08-15-2013

(Sorry to revive the topic...sorta)

Anyway, this would be the theme I would want for Shizu. It's such an awesome, kind of a folky version, with some piano and violin.

RE: Character music - Uther - 08-15-2013

I suppose I'll do this one more time. I'm bored. One song for each of my characters.

RE: Character music - Seamus Faleer - 08-18-2013

This song brings to mind Seamus' feelings about family and camaraderie. His blood family did not care for him one way or another, but those he meets in his story... those are the ones he will always call home.

"We will not fall, because we have each other.
We will not fall, because we are brothers.
We will not fall, because we have love.
We will not fall, because we will rise above."
~Shinedown Pre-concert huddle chant

This next one also reminds me of the conflict within his story (Not posting details 'cuz we all be hatin' dem spoilers, yo!). It carries forward throughout the 'gameplay rp' and story progression I have planned for him, too.

(Also, this is possibly the best music video I've ever seen. xD )

RE: Character music - Dogberry - 08-26-2013

So I've pretty much scrapped the alt I was playing, and came up with another, one that fits with my initiative to write in-game songs that fit in that world. Of course, he had to be a bard, and he just happens to be a Gridanian.

Is this not the perfect song for a Gridanian bard?

I'm not a redeemer, I'm not another saviour
Don't want to save your world, I would rather make it burn in flames
I spit on all the doves, your good intentions are masturbation
To hide a simple fact: you're scarred of your needs of violence

I am the new salvation
I am the voice screaming in your head
I have no compassion
I annihilate the smile on your face

--Eros Skye, The Black Mage--
