I don't like people using "theme songs" for their character, but I use music when getting into character as well. I also use it for writing (my friend and I are writing a comic book saga with a lot of medieval elements), reading, and drawing. I have quite a few songs, most from soundtracks, that I use when thinking about my character.
I like to think of different mood music for my character as well. I'm a big fan of multi-dimensional characters. Sometimes you have to get serious and defend the people, sometimes you just want to hang out in the market.
Since I have a lot of mood music, here are quite a few, though not nearly all, of my preferred songs:
Walking around Gridania and interacting with locals, or taking a sunday chocobo ride through the Shroud:

Epic aerial Dragoon combat:

Nighttime after an adventure:

If I had to pick a theme song:

Or this:

I know the last one is a bit cliche, but he's a dragon hunter from the mountains with highlander ancestry... give me a break.
Sorry there's so many. No one song should be able to describe a character, in my opinion.
