So as expressed in the previous 3 iterations of this thread, this would be a good place to express what you think your character's appropriate entrance/battle/general theme music is. Like the other threads I'll likely make this into a list, so I'll include a template. Credits to @Hidamari and @Commissar for the first threads!

(P.S. I kinda threw this thread together so I'll develop a format when its not almost 11 at night and i have a bit more free time. (: )


Code:
[font=Oswald][color=#FFFFFF]Name:[/color] [color=#00FFFF]Name[/color]
[color=#FFFFFF]Song:[/color] [color=#00FFFF]Song[/color]
[color=#FFFFFF]Artist:[/color] [color=#00FFFF]Artist[/color]
[color=#FFFFFF]Forum Owner of Character:[/color] [color=#00FFFF]Your name here![/color]
[color=#FFFFFF]Notes:[/color] [color=#00FFFF]Notes[/color][/font]

[+]What it looks like
Name: Name
Song: Song
Artist: Artist
Forum Owner of Character: Your name here!
Notes: Notes
I'll start:
Name: Tantalus
Song: Mountains
Artist: Hans Zimmer
Forum Owner of Character: @Ace Razgriz
Notes: I like to think of this as both an eye-opening and anthemic song, especially from Interstellar. It has dark elements with a sort of "creeping" feeling that fits the style of a sly order spy quite well. But it also has it's powerful parts that would seem like the perfect thing playing during his most important moments. I've always been a fan of Hans Zimmer, from the Dark Knight movies to notably Interstellar, so the amount of emotion, stress, and time he puts into his music gave me cues to use this with Tantalus. His songs aren't monothemic, they have a variety of themes in even one song, like a face aging over time or changing with emotion, and that made me think of Tantalus.




A

Alice Marie
Song: You don't own me
Artist: Grace
Forum Owner of Character: @Wesker
Notes: Alice likes bossing people around, not the other way around.


Alejandro Auditore
Song: Alejandro
Artist: Lady Gaga
Forum Owner of Character: @Wesker
Notes: I had to.


Annabelle Heinrich
Song: In the End
Artist: Linkin Park
Forum Owner of Character: @Wesker
Notes: Anna's Personal Records


Annika J. "Nika" Haupt
Song: Wings of Steel
Artist: Collide
Forum Owner of Character: @Char Aznable
Notes: Referring to her constant drive to chase something that she's never going to get, plus to her augmetic arm and the danger of developing an addiction to augmenting herself, to compensate for her own weakness.


Avery Reeves
Song: Stay
Artist: Kari Sigurðsson
Forum Owner of Character: @Reeves
Notes: Avery is a modernized white knight with a slight martyr complex, putting integrity of his house and allies above his own, which more often than not is the source of his agonies and downfalls. Despite this there's a constant state of conflict, since being a moral example is highly rewarding but also extremely difficult, making the option of a 'short-cut' all the more tempting, I just feel this sums up his struggles and triumphs as a person/character.




B

Ben Warner
Song: Stalingrad
Artist: Sabaton
Forum Owner of Character: @Tabris
Notes: Ben Warner is a battle-hardened veteran of the old guard, he sees his nation pressed on all sides by those seeking to crush the Coalition, the majority of his time as a revolutionary has been under massive pressure from the enemy and much of the time was spent fighting for his very survival and trying to out-last the enemy when they could not be out-maneuvered. While he is the Premier now he still feels the pressure of total warfare at all times and at times it seems to him he is still trying to fight off a foe that is utterly ruthless and he sees the whole of Sirius as the Coalition's own 'Battle of Stalingrad'.




C




D




E




F




G

Sir George Richard Hall
Song: Fandango
Artist: Domenico Scarlatti
Forum Owner of Character: @Thunderer
Notes: Hall is the Bretonian admiral in charge of the southern defenses and his most common enemies are the Corsairs. He is a one of the most usual performers in the vanity fair, a plotter of intrigues, a secret, corrupt schemer from the shade. He is bored in life and his goal is to climb the ladder of power as high as possible, although he lacks some capability needed for the higher positions. He plays war in the meantime to keep himself amused. He used to have feelings, but they were cut down and hidden by his difficult and gloomy early life, and turbulent and dissipated middle life.




H




I




J

John Graham
Song: Gaeta's Lament
Artist: Sung by Alessandro Juliani, Composed by Bear McCreary
Forum Owner of Character: @"John Wildkins"
Notes: I've always really loved this song (and everything in the BSG soundtrack, to be fair), but I will admit I started to pull a few cues from Felix Gaeta (somewhat unintentionally) while thinking of ways to develop Graham during the Gallic conflict, Royal Flush, and all that.

Quote:"[Gaeta] believes what he wants to be true, not what's in front of his eyes... Gaeta thinks he knows what kind of violence is coming, and he thinks it can be contained, controlled. He thinks he can stomach an acceptable level of violence . . . And the dawning realization that, once again, he failed to see the bigger picture is what gives this episode its weight, its pathos. He's a good man who has gotten it wrong. Again." - Maureen Ryan on Gaeta, S4 of BSG

I stumbled into making Graham a similar, fresh-faced idealist, only to have reality be beaten into him, first metaphorically by Hartman and later literally by the failed Operation Royal Flush. Now, he's on the run from the Navy after faking his death, but he now hopes that by cooperating with the LSF during the separatism, he can reintegrate peacefully into Liberty, and help his house once again. And like Gaeta, he's an idealist with no real scope on what will really happen. He's a good man who will get it wrong.


Jonathan Kalh
Song: Heathens
Artist: Twenty One Pilots
Forum Owner of Character: @Kalhmera
Notes: Captain Jonathan Kalh recruited by Ex Order Agent Tantalus, Captains the Order Osiris Amenhotep. Continuing his fathers legacy, Jonathan hunts down Nomads Sirius wide, protects his friends, and neutralizes any enemy that threatens the safety of Humanity and The Order, regardless of the cost.





K

Kessereya Reena
Song: The Illusive Man theme
Artist: Jack Wall
Forum Owner of Character: @Operator
Notes: After almost a half of the year I realized that Reena is quite familiar with the Illusive Man. When the other Nomads wants to destroy the humanity, she sees the possibility to control it. Her goals are simular with her relatives, but the methods are different.




L

Larry Macduff
Song: New York Groove
Artist: Ace Frehley
Forum Owner of Character: @Zyliath
Notes: I see Larry as a open-minded, diplomatic and (mostly) free-spirited person. He likes to wander around to meet and know new people, regardless of what they do or from where they hail.
He is a very jolly and optimistic character, ready to put himself on the line for the right goal, no matter what.
He also has lots of links with his hailing home, Bretonia. As such, he always is well-mannered by nature.
Everything I just wrote is what I always seek by roleplaying its character.


Logan Torrio
Song: Do Ya Thang
Artist: P$C
Forum Owner of Character: @Big_B
Notes: The song perfectly shows the lifestyle Logan is living: Fast, loud and flashy, showing everyone that he got the style and the money which others cannot have.




M

Matt Bishop
Song: Jump around
Artist: House of Pain
Forum Owner of Character: @Wesker
Notes: Matt is basically me oorp, this song is appropriate.




N

Nesrin E.E Khan
Song: Vengeance
Artist: Zack Hemsey
Forum Owner of Character: @"Erinyes"
Notes: Vengeance is Khan's personal motivation in Sirius - of a personal rather than a familial note. Khan's anger lacks direction - she's apathetic with what she sees as the progressive degradation of the human race into anarchy, and the catalysts of the political instabillity that renders nomad infection possible. She despises terrorist and pirate organisations who she sees as promotors of that anarchy. She blames the Nomads for the loss of her body and friends, but finds the Gammuians accountable for transforming her into an automaton.

She will attempt to avenge herself against them, and probably fail to succeed in the process.




O




P

Patricia Lyons
Song: Me too
Artist: Meghan Trainor
Forum Owner of Character: @Skorak
Notes: Her ego used to be able to pull suns out of orbit. I guess since she reached her goals mostly she calmed down a little. So now maybe it is only enough for a moon or something. Still she's the center of the universe even though there's not that much to back it up actually. But apart from other arrogant rude chars, she's at least high ranked within the LPI. She also knows who she should piss off and who she should stay away from. Usually.




Q




R




S

Sanae Miyasu
Song: Suicide
Artist: Cathy Dennis
Forum Owner of Character: @Werdackel|
Notes: This moment when your main char thinks about suiciding because of something for oneself not really senseful and you hear this song and think: "This is her singing just there." ... Lucky girl has a nice big sister. Otherwise.. well guess.



SOA Agent Viking
Song: whatever this song is
Artist: Unkown
Forum Owner of Character: @Wesker
Notes: Viking is an angry massacring person who lives to kill as SOA's field leader.





T

Tal "Underscore" Ravis
Song: Gatorade
Artist: Yung Lean
Forum Owner of Character: @t0l
Notes: Grease gun and Ka-Bar by my side, these are the tools that make men die.



Tantalus
Song: Mountains
Artist: Hans Zimmer
Forum Owner of Character: @Ace Razgriz
Notes: I like to think of this as both an eye-opening and anthemic song, especially from Interstellar. It has dark elements with a sort of "creeping" feeling that fits the style of a sly order spy quite well.
