The old thread hasn't been updated in a while, so, without further ado, I present the new characterthemes thread. Pick a song for your characters and post up! To add a character, please use the format below - characters posted without the format won't be added.
Theme:Half Man's Song Artist:Gavin Dunne Notes:It might have been written for Game of Thrones, but the general manipulative tone fitted Akira too perfectly to pass up.
Theme: Dragon's Dogma OST - Character Edit Artist: Tadayoshi Makino Notes:Short: Born Kusari, raised on Pittsburgh, exploring the universe, positive, propulsive.
Alyosha Garza (Alejandro Garcia) (Former Colonial pilot, now President of the Free Terran Republic)
Theme: Ace Combat Zero - Beyond the Borders (Credits) Artist:Various artists Notes:Alex has always been one to look out for the lives and well-being of others, often proclaimed as an idealistic man who values freedom and human rights above all else. Despite this, his morals and beliefs were twisted and slowly began to be crushed during his time as a Colonial pilot, having to fight enemies he did not consider to personally be fighting against. After faking his death and changing his name to Alyosha, he has formed the Free Terran Republic as a way to preserve one of the last bastions of true respect for human life in Sirius.
Charles Richard Hall (The leader of BRF| and BAF|A, vice-admiral)
Theme: Always Look on a Bright Side of Life Artist:Whoever made the music for "Monty Python"? Notes:The character is as blithe as the song itself. It might even be his motto, along with some weird stuff only him and God can understand put in.
Christina Ross ('former' racer)
Theme: Redline OST - Redline Artist:James Shimoji / Rob Laufer Notes:Rhythm of heartbeat and ship becoming one.
Compte Pierre Vincent du Petit Thouars (Indie Valor captain)
Theme:Le Retour des Princes Francais a Paris Artist:I don't know, it's made after one of the previous French anthems, "Vive Henry IV!". Notes:Doesn't it sound so majestic and powerful, and yet so gentle, rich and puffy?
D David.Attenborough (Xenobiologist)
Theme:The Time Has Come Artist:Gabriel Shadid Notes:Acquiring funds to launch an expedition for knowledge about the wonders of the natural universe.
Dominik Mertins
Theme: Ace Combat Zero: Zero Artist: composed by Keiki Kobayashi, Hiroshi Okubo, Tetsukazu Nakanishi, Junichi Nakatsuru Notes: Fighting against friends, Family. Fighting for the peace in Rheinland.
E Eamonn O'Doherty (Pirate)
Theme: Irish tavern music medley Artist:Multiple composers, played by the Gaelic Storm Notes:He was a Molly once, but he didn't care about a free Dublin. He only wanted money, women and booze, so he turned pirate.
Theme: The Gunner's Dream Artist:Pink Floyd (Let's not lie to ourselves, pretty much just Roger Waters) Notes:A song cautioning against repeating history, with a distinctly anti-dystopian flair. Political undertones and slightly unsure and pessimistic, just as a Bundschuh surrounded by threats and pressures might be.
Erik Meier (Coalition Premier)
Theme:Death before Dishonor Artist:Five Finger Death Punch Notes:May seem a bit harsh to some, but he would die before betraying the Coalition.
Theme: Eirik Jarl Artist:Composer unknown, played by Harald Foss. Notes:It's a song about a Norwegian hero who's helped defeat the Swedish.
H Hannibal Bishop (Junker captain of industry and commerce. Former Congress Arbiter, mostly keeps to himself now)
Theme: Head Like A Hole Artist:Nine Inch Nails Notes:His body is mostly cybernetic replacements. A bad deal involving a double agent, some very skilled and motivated ex-Liberty military turned homegrown idealistic guerillas bent on stamping out Junker influence, and a firefight at a biowaste processing plant turned into a nearly successful assasination attempt.
I
J Jack "Snake Eyes" McMaverick
Theme: Snake Eyes (feat. CoMa) Artist:Feint Notes:I was looking for a really cool name for my Merc that I was making, I was so stumped on names. I needed a name that could basically sum up the dangerous, twisted life of an assassin. I listen to this song and was like, OMG, this "Snake Eyes" is the perfect name.
Jane Eliza Hartman (Liberty Navy Commander)
Theme:End of my Journey Artist:John Dreamer Notes:The gradual progression there from the slow, soft introduction to the stronger drumbeats serves as nice mirror for the military life Hartman’s lived and her, at best, apathetic attitude to her own life’s value.
Johan Lennox (A mystery to himself)
Theme: Encounter Artist:"MafiaFLairBeatz" Notes:Painful to find answers on which none really exist.
K Kate "Valkyrie" Fenrir (RoS second in command)
Theme: Truth ambience Artist:"Belisarius" Notes: Discovering true purpose and accepting it.
L Legion "Bob" (Artificial Intelligence)
Theme:Are you alive? Artist:Richard Gibbs Notes:Toaster incomming!
Theme: Journey Home (Ace Combat 5) Artist: Sung by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn Notes:Flying around Sirius and tries to change everything.
Lux Ryder
Theme: Walk On By Artist:Logic Notes:Sounds like a typical life story song, but I just found it so fitting for a Bounty Hunter.
M Melanie Tyler (OS&C Security Division)
Theme:Stand in the Rain Artist:Superchick Notes:Despite the confident façade she puts up, underneath it all, Tyler’s just as lost and confused as everyone else.
Theme:Half Man's Song Artist:Gavin Dunne Notes:It might have been written for Game of Thrones, but the general manipulative tone fitted Akira too perfectly to pass up.
N
O Olaf Fromm (Red Hessian Jorm captain)
Theme: Havfred Artist:Composer unknown, played by Harald Foss. Notes:I suppose it is clear - a Viking song about a sea journey.
P
Q
R
S Sarah McFarlen (Freelance Smuggler)
Theme:Last of the American Girls Artist:Green Day Notes:Cheerful, bouncy, impulsive and, on closer inspection, just a little bit out of touch with reality.
Saronsen (Ex-Lane Hacker. Seeking a quiet life now, but without much success.)
Theme:Devil's Dance Artist:Metallica Notes:Your favorite neighborhood death dealer.
T Two-John Redding (Freight captain under contract with Gateway)
Theme: Wasted Years Artist:Iron Maiden Notes:Captain and owner of the Hammersmith, now under Gateway colors and contract. Former Bretonian Armed Forces infantryman, decorated veteran and survivor of the disastrous planetside Harris Campaign. Reluctant Bretonian patriot who holds deep resentment toward the bureaucratic infighting that crippled the effort to hold the Taus, resulting in the arguably pointless deaths of many of his comrades. Nicknamed 'Two-John' due to being named after his father, and given his grandfather's name as a middle name. Both men were named John.
U
V Violet Stryker (Gun for hire)
Theme: Here comes Vi Artist: Nicki Taylor Notes:I Thought it was a neat idea to let her sing her theme herself (inRP). So it's pretty self-glorifying and it mostly isn't true at all, but the lyrics are what she genuinely thinks about herself. Yes, she is that undeservingly cocky and self-absorbed... Annoying little brat!
W William Richard Hall (Bowex employee)
Theme: Rule, Britannia! Artist:James Thomas and Thomas Arne. Played by the London Symphony Orchestra? Notes:Badgex, rule the lanes!
Theme: Snake Eyes (feat. CoMa) Artist:Feint Notes:I was looking for a really cool name for my Merc that I was making, I was so stumped on names. I needed a name that could basically sum up the dangerous, twisted life of an assassin. I listen to this song and was like, OMG, this "Snake Eyes" is the perfect name.
