This is a thread that Keljeck (you don't know him but he's cool) started on the old board. I thought it might be interesting to start a new one. What we're doing is linking to songs that we associate with one of our characters, a canon character from the game or even a member of the board. I'll go first: Bear Immigrant Song by Led Zepplin - It's a song about Vikings. Bear is a Viking. 'nuff said. Continental Gale - Rock's remix theme from the Soul Blade OST - Rock is a big, burly guy with an axe, just like Bear. This theme suits them both. Borga All You Can Eat by the Fat Boys - I actually listened to this song while working on Borga's application. It's the perfect theme for him. His crew and ship was even named after this group. It's Difficult To Stand On Both Feet Isn't It? from the FFVII OST - For some reason I always hear this song playing in the back of my head whenever I envision the things going on aboard the Fat Boy.... Annie Alien Ant Farms cover of Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal - Just because they say the name "Annie" so many times. But I can't imagine my Annie being taken out by a smooth criminal. If anything she'd be the one doing the shooting. Cogwheel That Begins To Move from the Needless OST - I used this one for Annie's opening post in the last Boss Battle. Since then it kinda got associated with her. Now I use it as her theme song. Big Gun by AC/DC - It's a song about all of Arnold Schwartzenegger's action movies. Mostly it makes me think of Annie because of the title. Plus it's a good theme for an action sequence. I Wanna Riot by Rancid - Same reason as the song above, only substitute "comedy" for "action". Kokyrie Naughty Girl by Beyonce - I have no clue why this is Kokyrie's theme. I heard it, started thinking about her and it stuck. Oddly it sounds more like something for a Nasrean character than an Ixa'takan. But whatever. Oddly enough I don't have any themes for Zatoichi. If I come up with any I'll post them too. |

I like this idea and I will edit this post to add some for my characters when I find some that I think work for them all. |

Now for round 2. A few characters who didn't get mentioned last time and a couple more who may or may not ever show up on the site: The Shock Trooper The Batman Theme - Just because..... Various Yafutomans Atomic Bonsai from the Homestuck OST - This song could fit Zatoichi, Ryuzaki or Shingen easily. Sadly I forgot to link to it during the Hyper Fight. Big props to PG for linking me to this epic piece of music. Momentary Life from the Guilty Gear OST - Baiken's theme. See above description. Rico Suave Rico Suave by Gerardo - Yes, he is actually a character. A rework of Captain Maynard. He's a Valuan playboy who loves gambling and women. He was named after the song but his last name his pronounced differently than it is in the song. I'm Too Sexy by Right Said Fred - He sings this while posing in front of the mirror.... Masquerade Mystere's Theme from the Lunar: Eternal Blue OST - Mystere was the inspiration for this character. I still have high hopes for this guy.... Sloth & Chunk from the Goonies OST - It just fits the character's Zorro-esque vibe as well as the piratical background of the game so very well. |

Just put down a theme for your character, could be battle, general, even dramatic. Anything at all. This came about because the theme I had for Alba before was deleted. Fu. Alba: -General: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2eoN8tJVIY&feature=related -Battle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEOLERz7CXA&feature=related Took a while to find good classical battle music. |

Already have a similar thread running dude. Hence they become merged. But I'm glad someone else is finally posting in this. Here's a song that might also work for Alba since it's got a Spanish theme going. It's from the Burst Angel OST. Uh, guess while I'm here I'll toss in a couple more. Here's one for Gord's character, Octavia: Blinded Me With Science by Thomas Dolby And another one for Zatoichi: Returner by Gackt |

A couple more I just thought of: Captain McKrell Son of a Son of a Sailor by Jimmy Buffet - Just a great song that could easily apply to any sailor. Southern Cross by Crosby, Still & Nash - Same as above. Another good song for sailors. Here's one for Raiu's character, Alejandro: Realiza - Alberto Del Rio's theme - Song befitting a Spanish badass. |

I've been tuning up Neo Lord Bane lately and it's only fitting that I add his theme song here too: The Great Khali's theme - Yeah, he's from India, not Arabia, but this song is pretty intimidating and it's still got that Middle Eastern theme going. EDIT: Sultan's theme isn't bad either. I could hear this playing during a fight scene with NLB. |

Here are a few songs for my characters which I feel work well for them. I will update this post as I find more. ^__^ Daiohma BigBoys - From Macross, part when the crew turn against the army and become pirates. I feel this suits Daiohma. Marsa Manches - From Power Stone, Sounds as creepy as the Valuan underground which works for her style. Edited by Daiohma, Jan 4 2012, 06:19 PM.
