I was looking at the "Annoying People Is Now Illegal" thread and I noticed the shift in conversation towards music, and I coulden't help but to think of theme music for my characters in the SARP, and some music for other player characters.

So, I ask, does anyone have any specific music that comes to mind as a theme song for their characters? or even some one else's character?

Now for the themes for my characters.

Miles Gunn's Standard Music: "System of a Down - Science" "Korn - Dead"
Miles Gunn's Current Music: "Queen - Bohemian Raspody." "Rolling Stones - Paint It Black"
Miles Gunn's Party Music: "Rocky Horror Picture Show - Time Warp", "Thomas Dobly - She Blinded Me With Science"
Miles Gunn's War Music: The theme from MASH, "Metallica - One"
Miles' Happy Music (Not often used): "The Offspring - One Fine Day"
(Inspired by later posts) Miles' Self-Repair,Sorrow, and Out Of His Mind Music: "Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb" "Pink Floyd - Brain Damage" "Evangelion - Do You Love Me?"
Hanako's Death Music: "Rammstein - Ohne Dich"

Tomoe's Standard Theme: "Black Sabbath - The Wizard"

Amazing how much my distaste for the Star Army just grew. ;)

Nairans theme music would most assuredly be David Bowie - Its No Game (Parts 1 and 2; both work. If you desire to hear them, IM me sometime. Lyrics for Part 2 are below.)

Silhouettes and shadows watch the revolution
No more free steps to heaven
Just walky talky - heathen or hearth
Just big heads and drums, full speed and pagan
And its no game

I am barred from the event
I really dont understand the situation
So wheres the moral when people have their fingers broken?
To be insulted by these fascists, its so degrading...
And its no game

Documentaries on refugees, couples 'gainst their targets
You throw a rock against the road and it breaks into pieces
Draw the blinds on yesterday and its all so much scarier
Put a bullet in my brain
And it makes all the papers

And its no game

Children round the world put camel shit on the walls
Theyre making carpets and treadmills
Or garbage-sorting
And its no game...

What's interesting about music is that it can really stir the soul. I actually use music when I need to get creative, and both my characters have music that inspired their personalities.


Tom Freeman - ABBA: Dancing Queen (Like nobody saw that one)

Master Admiral Robert Davis - Quite a few songs, mainly focusing on dramatic or patriotic tunes.

Some notables:

Rule Britannia & National Anthem of the Soviet Union (Used when writing a propaganda speech. I really like the latter as a model for the Nepleslian National Anthem.)

Battle Cry of Freedom (U.S. Civil War tune, very moving)

That really dramatic song in Xenogears (Promises or broken mirror or whatever its called. Used when thinking about dead wife.)

Oh god, don't even joke about that. I've seen that on youtube. Not pretty.

Anyway, this shouldn't be terribly hard: I already tried to make fake OSTs from my playlist. Here is the shamless self-promoting theme music for The Utterly Fabulous Elisa Metea (her words, not mine), with highly recommended tracks in bold:

Yet Another Combat theme and Far Too Many For Someone Who Hasn't Actually Seen Combat Yet, or "Oh Shit, I'm Losing": I'm Not Driving Anymore (Rob Dougan)

Drinking theme, or "I'm Not Drunk Enough Yet, Come Back Later": The Slow Descent Into Alcoholism (The New Pornographers)
