What music sums up your character?

Azure Phoenix · Mon Jan 19, 2009 2:01 am

this is just something i usually do but what peice of music (doesn't have to be the entire song, can be just a part of it) sums up your TE character?

think about it with care

although not quite apparent as i still have to expand on my character bio.

breaking benjamin - unknown soldier

i might change this

thats a very good question.. im gonna have fun picking the song. im assuming the lyrics have to match? or is it just the style of the song

either, it's entirely down to you

I decided this a while ago actually:

Jason Tandro's official theme song is

Save Yourself
Stabbing Westward

although in his lighter TE appearance as the not-so-serious treasure hunter, I changed it up:

2 Rak 005
Bracket

both are great songs by the way.

I only recently (like just then) looked at the lyrics for this song, and it turns out that it will do fine. awesome song, too

Hand of Sorrow - Within Temptation

im writing it into a nice fic now. i only sent jason an abridged version so he could use it for the game. itll be posted up here soon enough

and hey, thanks for the compliment on the song. i really do like it

it's deep (if you know what i mean) and i can't believ you found a song like that, i could never find one for my character, and i've had my character idea for years (not the backstory, or at least not the newest one) for you to come up with that i have to reconsider my choice, this will take me a while

look forward to reading the fic

Godsmack - Straight out of line ("i don't need a reason

")

Godsmack - I stand alone ("i've told you this once before can't control me, if you try to take me down you're gonna break

")

to begin with should my character start off a bad guy which i sorta hope, i always liked the semi bad guy, starts off bad and becomes sorta neutral because his master was actually weaker than him (hint jason

)

after he becomes neutral (leaning towards being good)

Breaking Benjamin - Until the end ("Why give up? Why give in?", "i will go on until the end")

i also want to use the BB song "evil angel" to symbolise his respective...summon if you will(can't really say god or saint) the Phoenix, evil angel can summarise the phoenix as a summon because depending on the situation it can either help you or hurt you, my character is sometimes blessed by the phoenix and at others cursed (blood rage, if you want details, PM me.)

before the above, i would use Breaking Benjamin - unknown soldier to show his want to die after the millenia he has existed for without any real contact with anyone, all his friends die, all his family wiped out by those who cursed him, he has nothing that he can hold on to and so death is welcomed by him, but he won't go without a fight.

i might change some of this as i hear other music choices and reasons for them, please do say why you chose them, it adds to the depth of your character, or at least the effort you put into it, i hate it when people pick songs just because they "sound good" but if you can't find anything suitable for your character then fine.

nice choice, and very personal!

I'd stick with more classig rpg-like music too:

Zelda MM - Final Hours

and

bLiNd's remix of Chrono Trigger - Manoria Cathedral

and since I'm one of the bad guys now I need some bad-guy-music:

Seiken Densetsu 3 - Three of Darkside

man this song pretty much says it all, even my plans for the character (though not completely noticable)

It's the fear - within temptation

almost perfect, the only thing is that my character ain't a girl

i think i can see what youre getting at with that song

'i fear who i am becoming
i feel that im losing the struggle within
i can no longer restrain it
my strength it is fading,
i have to give in' ...

Shissou - Last Alliance

Yeah, it's in Japanese, but finding a song that fit my character was harder than it seemed, lol.
