Okay, we have to have one of these threads. I might as well make it myself.
What is your character's themesong? As in, which song do you know of that covers part or all of your character? Which one gives the feeling your character would? Which song makes you immediately think of your character whether the character would like it or not?
Would definitely be played in Horned Masquerade (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmS96D7wiQo)
That song really gives me a 'Mizhara' feeling, even though it only covers part of her character. What's yours?
-
This has been Ko's for years. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTL8NtqGdw4&feature=related)
It's still very appropriate, since she watches almost everyone around her moving out of balance and feels compelled to reach out to them. It doesn't matter if you're her overworked CEO or a demented enemy; everyone has their place, after all. But, if you're the latter, don't expect to be invited over for dinner and tea. ;)
And Ko's view on Pilots as a whole. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2q6gQkYkaQ)
-
That second one... may I use that in the Masquerade? Well, more to the point, in the VIP Lounge?
(Just asking in case you use it in-game somehow)
-
Of course, you may use it.
-
Myyona has had Gallente004 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQRu6m_mHzE)as theme song for a long time now. Imagine industrials and freighters moving about, lots of them.
I think Natelia might enjoy this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtgjQ5Aj5Yc) when on some bad medication.
Like my mother, I think Kretin enjoys a bit of Rammstein (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AlaJWliO7o).
To be continued...

I always considered Sofia to be more of a synthcore addict, frequenting Brutor and Civire clubs down in the depths of stations.
I've since tamed her somewhat, and come up with this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spF8yc-S070&feature=fvw).
-
The Great Devourer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZEz9FlFr6Q)
Ancient Rites was appropriate for him during his quieter years, but that was a long time ago.
-
For Vikarion, I like this one, I guess. Not permanent, I think - just haven't found the perfect one for him.

Havo's theme - used to have the lyrics in his bio:
Pet - A Perfect Circle (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrEP3RPgEao)
Don't fret precious I'm here,
Step away from the window
And go back to sleep
Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rabble!
Pay no mind to the rabble!
Head down, go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind what other voices say
They don't care about you, like I do, (like I do)
Safe from pain, and truth, and choice, and other poison devils,
See, they don't give a fuck about you like I do.
Just stay with me,
Safe and ignorant, go
Back to sleep, go
Back to sleep
Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble
Head down, go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums
I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and all your demons.
I'll be the one to protect you from
A will to survive and a voice of reason.
I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and your choices son.
They're one and the same,
I must isolate you;
Isolate and save you from yourself
Swayin' to the rhythm of the new world order and
Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums
The boogeymen are coming!
The boogeymen are coming!
Keep your head down, go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Just stay with me
I'll hold you and protect you from the other ones.
The evil ones
Don't love you son.
Go back to sleep.
-
Oh, I suppose I should list Adam's since his still has the complete lyrics in his bio
Through the Fire and the Flames (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jgrCKhxE1s) (That is not the entire song)
-
I always considered Sofia to be more of a synthcore addict, frequenting Brutor and Civire clubs down in the depths of stations.
I've since tamed her somewhat, and come up with this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spF8yc-S070&feature=fvw).
Love this btw. Been listening to this most of the evening. :)
-
This would be it if anything.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ludKJ4rRnBs&feature=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ludKJ4rRnBs&feature=related)
...Kidding calm down. If there's a song that applies to Goshien, I haven't heard it.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5nzKw-XIxw
as the universe seems to shaft Kaldor constantly.....
-
Not sure if its Gottiis theme song, but this song struck me as very Matari...45 secs into the song it gets fairly futuristic/tribal..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65siSjjAZYo
-
I think this song describes not only Aki's but most capsuleers state of mind at some point. Sorry, couldn't find text so you'll have to endure +1 minute intro before singing begins :P: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kkh4A4-6hL8
-
This little gem is utterly perfect for Katla: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGYKHBfIWPc :D
There are too many songs I want to post for Ruby. I could easily find twenty songs or more which would fit her like a glove. I think this one captures her best of all, though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PzL8aL6jtI&feature=related
-
Slit wrist theory stains us all? xD
-
Given the current spotlight on Seriphyn right now, and with the supposed "betrayal" of his close lieutenant Jia-Lei Lian to Nation, the player of Jia suggested Fear by mind.in.a.box is the most fitting. She did not explain why, content to just smile instead. The lyrics I think relate both to Seriphyn and JiaLei (if one assumes JiaLei has been infected)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sss3fakvLyc
As for overall right now? Probably the interlude of To Live is To Die from 4:24 by Metallica...very tragic I feel.

Fits the bill pretty well at the moment, note the obligatory ominous-latin-chanting.

Oddly catchy. I shall be sure to play this next time Reppy and Laer get into a catfight. Mood music go! :P
For my folks... I'll have to think a bit for most of them. However...
Mortis is a combination of Nick Cave - Red Right Hand (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqFPqEwY6to&feature=related) and Alice Cooper - I Know Where You Live (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMpmuXrraaI). Both wonderfully grand and slightly creepy - perfect for a spymaster.
-
Shae's best characterised by 'Sredni Vashtar' from Faith and the Muse (http://www.rhapsody.com/player?type=undefined&id=tra.3808642&remote=undefined&page=undefined&pageregion=undefined&guid=undefined&from=undefined&__pcode=), but if you piss her off, you'll be getting 'Spit' by Killing Miranda (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6clpJMZKnAI) >_>
-
Poe: Hey Pretty (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hvkc2yd1YSU)
This fits pretty well for Ember at the moment.
-
Trying to Find you (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpcbaYXvJpM)
I've always seen that one as a pretty decent song for Nikita.
-
It's difficult for me to select any given piece for Aria, since different aspects of her character often conflict harshly with one another.
In the end, though, I think I have to go with "Dream Island Obsessional Park," (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8HChqhHVuU&feature=related) the theme to the anime, "Paranoia Agent."
At heart, Aria genuinely believes neither in her own existence nor in anybody else's.
I'd post the full version, only you really also need both the visuals and the subtitles for this one.
-
It's still KMFDM - Megalomaniac (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwhOTNQcQq4), no doubt about that. Not what the character would listen to or anything like that, but a meta/ooc level theme song certainly. Oh, crank it up, it won't do if it isn't LOUD.

I loved that anime. That song still gets stuck in my head from time to time.

Laibach - Sympathy for the Devil (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E-OsFSr5h8)
-
I fight the minnies, sure, but my true enemy is the Blooders.
As such, I would play this going into battle.
Nowadays, I think it still very much sounds like an Amarr Fleet descending upon you.
It's a classic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gk7sjUfwGd8).

I'll always stick by Mebs dual songs:

If you wanted an awesome generic Blood Raider Eve song though, by Covenant of course!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZORv63gHNQ&feature=related
(great video too ^_^)
I'm just a great big goth tbh ¬_¬
-
Honestly, I'm amazed how small the growth of any open blood raider activity was in the wake of these awfull movies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg3fACgr3Wk
Usually a lot of the "oh so different" fairy crowd hop on whatever drama comes across their path :?:

I think I can speak for everyone when I say that if someone made a blood raider character and went on about how "I only drank animal blood and I'm really just misunderstood..." the entire RP community would keel haul them.

New one. Well-- old one, actually. I'd actually forgotten about this song, along with how much it has to do with the part of my head where Aria lives. Then heard it earlier tonight at a brewpub....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJSYzBqA9RA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJSYzBqA9RA)
The Sneaker Pimps, "Six Underground."
It is, alas, really the only one of their songs that's worth the oddly polluted feeling their music gives my brain. The lyrics, though:
Don't think 'cause I understand, I care
Don't think 'cause I'm talking, we're friends....
Cold-blooded, self-absorbed little Aria all over.
-
If anything, this would be Ben's theme song: Metro 2033 - Ending Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ysk_0_H6l5o)
A nice little melancholy guitar piece that fits the feeling of Ben's character in my head.
-
This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbEKFVcGhjc) is Simon's theme song. This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzrFHwUHMic) is my Hyperion's theme song.
-
In contrast to some of your more upbeat tunes, I'm going with a more grimdark choice for Seriphyn...the lyrics are particularly associative...that a word?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh97KL21WAw&feature=fvst
(also, with the protagonist of the song being the devil, disconnected from God, and having his world built on the deaths of countless souls...fitting to capsuleer maybe?)
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJSYzBqA9RA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJSYzBqA9RA)
The Sneaker Pimps, "Six Underground."
Love that song, but there's a different cut of it with a ever-so-slightly faster tempo that I find superior in every way, and I can never find it anywhere (except when my Pandora channel plays it).

I was going to post the Sopranos theme song for a cheap cop-out, but no.
If anything is my character's theme song, it's this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dscfeQOMuGw&ob=av2e).
-
@Graelyn.
here is another one that fits the bill of the Amarrian Fleet decending on its pitiful foes.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0bcRCCg01I
Also known as Gustav Holts - Mars, the Bringer of War from The Planets

In all honesty, I'm surprised no one has claimed this one, yet.
Shin's theme song, #1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04854XqcfCY&ob=av3nm)
But I'll take this as #2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=racuwBZyUHM), as well. :D
-
Too obvious? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSLVMhA1mBE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSLVMhA1mBE)

Hate to say it...but this really does fit him well....
I picture him staring through a window, with flashes of planet-side riots going on.....Camera pulls back to orbit slowly, as you see fires burning across the planet....in that last second, it pulls back into him, smiling.

For Kaleigh,
Garbage - Cherry lips (go baby go!) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXQoVErK6n0)

Had a look around for what what be Kshatriya's themesong, especially after the 45 second mark.

No idea... although there are some awesome suggestions here for people that fit really well :D
-
Salome's Black Tides (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zb0uzILAYC0) (there's also a free mp3 (http://www.last.fm/music/Salome/_/Black+Tides) via last.fm)
Listen to a minute or so if you just want to get the idea. For the full effect, drop acid and then listen to the entire album on repeat for 8 hours.
-
As a themesong, I'd trust someone with a better knowledge of music than my vague and eclectic collection, heh. VNV Nation's Chrome (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTL8NtqGdw4) is appropriate on several different levels, though. Foreword (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKvxGZXd_YE) by the same folks is also loosely fitting, I suppose, looked at as a whole, but there's a reason I normally leave judgement on this kind of thing to others -- namely, I've a godawful ability to recall lyrics offhand unless I happen to have been listening to the group in question a fair amount recently.
Hence that both of these happen to be VNV Nation, not someone else. >_>
-
I like Kaleighs. Ignoring the song being about transgendering, the whole buying of the perfect body and making people look suits nicely.

Ok. The real ->Kyber's song. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUdYhkgPfcc)<- "There is no conflict in Nation." (Don't blame me; you mentioned VNV Nation.)
And for ->Verone. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlpWjl1peII)<- I think it's something he has no problem saying.
Yes, no, maybe?

For Jan it will definitely be Maurice Ravel's Boléro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Urfjyj4FnUc).
In the beginning it represents his composed calmness as he appears to the outside, with a slight flavour of mystery. In the end it show's his fierce and bold sides, that ascend from within as time passes.
Also: Music when he's engaging an enemy, who is taken by surprise. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yctfXIqugXc)
Also also: Going against a challenge, that seems unbeatable. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5q6skxRLnsI)

This one had me stumped for a while, until I accidentally sat on my iPod and this started blaring in my headphones. The shortened (and faster) version of Origa's Rise (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2InrTb5rYoQ) from Ghost in the Shell 2nd GiG is a good fit for Commander Baxter especially given his military background.
And his combat music, of course, rocks out to Run Rabbit Junk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l13RCQNUyI4&feature=related).

Metric - Front Row(KRUSHA Remix) (http://youtu.be/Zd81Uho-dK4)
That seems to be Simca's current theme for the moment.
-
I saw Metric open for Billy Talent with Death From Above 1979, that was like six or seven years ago now. It was a good show except for Billy Talent (Hard Core Logo kick their ass so hard even though they're not a real band).
Anyway, this is Cruci's theme these past couple weeks: Graf Orlock - Game Time (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avnP8F5Dv8U)
-
At the moment, Iurnan feels they're Invincible (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcS6zbCghZ4).
-
This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3f7pQ6eB2A&feature=related)would be Cia's, I think (starts about 35secs in)
-
Laria's current themesong - Thea Gilmore (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfTFiuJO0sM)

Music, video, toon and Lou Reed.

Internal consensus is this would probably be Integrator Yeliana's theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8V_btnGyFM)

After a little consideration, I'm leaning more towards This (http://youtu.be/RrxePKps87k) for Sinjin.
And then this one (http://youtu.be/pK1DWo5t5gk) for Sinti.

Rammstein - Engel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2JtKLz_4Ws&feature=related)
Translated lyrics (http://herzeleid.com/en/lyrics/sehnsucht#engel). Shockingly accurate to her thought processes these days.
...in fact, going through all the lyrics on the album, the whole thing seems to be about her. Should start listening to Sehnsucht when I'm playing her...

My characters are reflections of myself. Currently that would make 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' (aka 'I Walk Alone') the theme for Alain, possibly also Sognec. Does not make him a loner per se, but he can be introverted and over-focused at times.
I've always wanted to use that for an Uru video, due to my deep association with the Honor Guard and my decision within their RPG story to declare myself 'true neutral' (did not side with Yeesha or DRC - I sided with 'Uru,' literally meaning Community).
Older possibilities for a theme:
-> Metallica's 'Frayed Ends of Sanity'
-> 'November Rain' (I believe is Guns 'n Roses)
-
For the longest time I had no idea what song I could select as BB's theme-song; it needed to be something that illustrated his cynical views on the Federation and the world, but still one that reflected his ideas about it - namely, that it may be the best option for complete world-wide peace, order and justice, but being flawed and in constant need of improvement and protection.
So here we are; Seventeen. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4mnYm4VnYE)
Lyrics:
We come to help, we deliver a savior
This is your chance at salvation
We can not abide by the savage behavior
Of those in command of your nation.
We turn over the stone as we poke
And harvest the world in democracy's name.
And even though our own is a joke
We need yours to be all the same.
We are the ones who are setting you free
Now you can share our beliefs and be just like we.
We bring you out from under tyranny
And into our economy.
When it's all too late you will discover
That wanting to help is a lie
This is what we do, we exploit under cover
Swift like a thief in the night.
We turn over the stone as we poke
And harvest the world in democracy's name.
And even though our own is a joke
We need yours to be all the same.
We are the ones who are setting you free
Now you can share our beliefs and be just like we.
We bring you out from under tyranny
And into our economy.
Live free or
We turn over the stone as we poke
And harvest the world in democracy's name.
And even though our own is a joke
We need yours to be all the same.
For free trade.
We are the ones who are setting you free
Now you can share our beliefs and be just like we.
We bring you out from under tyranny
And into our economy.
And when you're free to consume and to use
We will service you with everything we produce.
Take it or leave it but know this one truth.
We market this freedom for you.
Live free or die.

Laria's current themesong - Thea Gilmore
Oooh! <3 Thea Gilmore. This Girl Is Taking Bets http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjX0JpZ3Pas&feature=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjX0JpZ3Pas&feature=related) would also be a good themesong for someone. (though tbh I always think of Starbuck from BSG when I hear it :S) "this girl is the stencil of a brush stroke in the rain, she's a ghost of the city, she's a body through the windscreen". LOVE.
I picked a characters name entirely from a song once :oops: Mackenzie Macabre from The Mouse and the Model http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXLmsjJUQ9U (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXLmsjJUQ9U) so I think I can justifiably say that's her theme song :P (or would be if I played her >.>) "the vote by a landslide for Jekyll and Hyde, Mackenzie Macabre, she's Bonnie and Clyde."

Seeing that I not so much play a character as discover one, I didn't think that there could be a theme song.
But while writing this (http://hazardousgoods.blogspot.com/2012/08/back-to-work.html) today (*cough*plug*cough*), I realized that Apocalyptica - Worlds Collide (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cHspNmKDIQ) pretty much describes the overall arc so far.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHYOoiAQSeU
Jotunheim, by Moonsorrow, 19 minutes and 30 seconds of unbelievable awesome.
From the lonely cry of the loon at the beginning, to the scream of primal rage at 2:50, to the explosive, angry, yet sorrow-filled rock that follows, this song was like written just for Ava. Brings to mind a vast, cold wilderness... and the utter frustration and rage that someone who's world has forever lost its innocence might feel.

Honestly, I'm amazed how small the growth of any open blood raider activity was in the wake of these awfull movies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg3fACgr3Wk
Usually a lot of the "oh so different" fairy crowd hop on whatever drama comes across their path :?:
I think I can speak for everyone when I say that if someone made a blood raider character and went on about how "I only drank animal blood and I'm really just misunderstood..." the entire RP community would keel haul them.
this :bash:
Well, yes.
But I was under the impression that at least one previous Sani Sabik group made a big deal out of not being Blooders and not carving up people in order to get blood for ritual purposes (just when they got annoyed at them)? Come to that weren't they explicitly based on the European baddies from the Twilight series?
I'm entirely prepared to accept that I might be mistaken though.

A Million Exploding Suns - Horse The Band (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPLtSN00LPg)
It's a pretty good at describing his past, present, and possible futures.
The first part is about his late teens/early twenties, drifting from job to job while he starts forming/learning about the sometimes conflicting philosophies that would become the base of his actions in the coming years:
I've forgotten my name
I'm sick and weak and fresh from sleep
I crawl from a crooked bed
With dirty feet and shaky hands
The numbers on the clock read
One-one-four-oh A.M.
I've got time to clean myself
Then sell my soul again
When I sleep I dream
I dream I'm awake
Or was it when I'm awake
I dream I'm asleep?
I work, I shit, I eat, I sleep
I'm inspected by the number seven
This can't be my life
No this isn't me
I don't know what's beset this change
I barely recognize my own face
In my mind I know that something's not right
But in my heart I'm bathed in the golden light!
I'm bathed in the golden light!!
I'm bathed in the golden light!!!
The second part is about him becoming a capsuleer and realizing the potential of being one, and finding a purpose:
My eyelids still heavy, my pulse still faint
I'm puzzle pieces, my memorys stained
I feel strength swell - a day dream
I'm shaking under this duality
My pulse is still faint
I hear a strange voice but don't know what it's saying
And in this moment
Seconds stop and I burst with clarity
A wealth of love and hate gone blank
For I finally remember my fucking name!
I eat rocks
And I breathe wind
I've been around the world and back again
I've lost the static
The gray is gone
I have the power of a million exploding suns
The third part is about his present state, having so much power, but in fear of using it, afraid that he might fall victim to "capsuleer dementia". His conflicting philosophies render him unable to take action one way or the other:
I am consumed by my might
Blinded in light as I would be in night
The void is holding me tight
It doesn't feel right
When will I ever break free
Within or without, I'm chained by the dream
The void is holding me tight
It doesn't feel right
When will I ever break free
Within or without, I'm chained by the dream
The void and the light are both me
It doesn't feel right
Finally, the last part is about his possible futures, breaking the internal impasse, or schizophrenicly pleasing his conflicting philosophies, one at a time, repeat. And his death(s) or possible suicide:
Bright lights flood my eyes
It's true
Now I realise
The perilous truth
Of a perilous life
By my own device
The strength of my high
Is the strength of my low
Unless there's no me
They both..
They both explode!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7T-nvKWsiQ
I've modified the lyrics slightly to suit Stimulus' RP a bit more closely, but only slightly
(I'm assuming I've matched the right song to the lyrics--I don't speak Russian so I'm not 100% sure there aren't two different "Partisan's Song" versions. The comments on one of them indicated very different lyrics than the ones I found, so I'm unsure.)
My friend, do you hear the dark flight of the crows over our plains?
My friend, do you hear the dulled cries of comrades in chains?
Oh, friends, do you hear, pilots, industrialists, in your ears alarm bells ringing?
Tonight all our tears will be turned to tongues of flame in our blood singing!
Warp on out of the asteroid belt, out from hiding in the stations, all you comrades,
Take out from your hangars all your guns, your munitions and your grenades;
Hey you, assassins, with your bullets and your knives, kill tonight!
Hey you, saboteurs, be careful with your burden, dynamite!
We are the ones who break the jail bars in two for our brothers,
hunger drives, hate pursues, misery binds us to one another.
There are empires where podders sleep without a care and lie dreaming.
But here, do you see, we fly on, we kill on, we're reborn screaming.
But here, each one knows what he wants, what he does with his choice;
My friend, if you fall, from the shadows on the wall, another you steps into your place.
Tomorrow, clones shall freeze out in the vacuum of space.
But sing, companions, freedom hears us in the night still so sweet.
My friend, do you hear the dark flight of the crows over our plains?
My friend, do you hear the dulled cries of our comrades in chains?
The original:
My friend, do you hear the dark flight of the crows over our plains?
My friend, do you hear the dulled cries of our countries in chains?
Oh, friends, do you hear, workers, farmers, in your ears alarm bells ringing?
Tonight all our tears will be turned to tongues of flame in our blood singing!
Climb up from the mine, out from hiding in the pines, all you comrades,
Take out from the hay all your guns, your munitions and your grenades;
Hey you, assassins, with your bullets and your knives, kill tonight!
Hey you, saboteurs, be careful with your burden, dynamite!
We are the ones who break the jail bars in two for our brothers,
hunger drives, hate pursues, misery binds us to one another.
There are countries where people sleep without a care and lie dreaming.
But here, do you see, we march on, we kill on, we die screaming.
But here, each one knows what he wants, what he does with his choice;
My friend, if you fall, from the shadows on the wall, another steps into your place.
Tomorrow, black blood shall dry out in the sunlight on the streets.
But sing, companions, freedom hears us in the night still so sweet.
My friend, do you hear the dark flight of the crows over our plains?
My friend, do you hear the dulled cries of our countries in chains?

And you thought the lions were bad
Well they tried to kill my brothers
And for every king that died
Oh they would crown another
But it's harder than you think
Telling dreams from one another
But you thought the lions were bad
Well they tried to kill my brother
And felled in the night
By the ones you think you love
They will come for you
And felled in the night
By the ones you think you love
They will come for you

That's weird, given it's about how the people of god were not saved by their own military might (probably from the attack of the Assyrians), but only by God who judges all and lets (all) earth tremble and fall silent - including the people of Israel (and Judah, probably). Not really the Reclaiming tune to my ears.

This one had me stumped for a while, until I accidentally sat on my iPod and this started blaring in my headphones. The shortened (and faster) version of Origa's Rise (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2InrTb5rYoQ) from Ghost in the Shell 2nd GiG is a good fit for Commander Baxter especially given his military background.
And his combat music, of course, rocks out to Run Rabbit Junk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l13RCQNUyI4&feature=related).
This was my original response, but over the course of two years my vision of Baxter as a character has changed. I really need to get back into writing RP, because my concept of him now is less "Hoo-RAH" and more "experienced/seasoned/veteran." Because of the character's complexity - which I really haven't done a great job of defining thus far to date (sorry everyone) - I think I'll have to change my original responses to "Landing Peleliu" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ee77mYsDQ6M) from "The Pacific."

Naira Shandr is not a solidly defined character yet. But what I know is that she is slightly selfish, purposefully blunt and honest to get away with the lies that are truly important. Has a habit that would be frowned upon by her peers, and while she respects her family, is forced into a dutiful attitude that doesn't suit her. So it will end up being a balancing act of personal gain, personal entertainment, self preservation, and duty to an overbearing family and Empire.. So perhaps this

This song makes total sense Ghost...except...Im not a Doctor?

Samira's themesong would probably be VNV Nation - Gratitude (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jqVo88Gv_M).
[spoiler]It is not love, if love is cold to touch.
It is not belief, when there's nothing there to trust.
Could not submit, would never bring myself to heel.
Determination grows, as each truth is revealed.
Torn and repaired, just to endure it all again.
Without a reason, for my place in all this pain.
Though well concealed, the scars they just compound.
Until there´s nothing left of what was my former self.
My god, look at what we are now -
without regret for all the things that we have done.
Thank you for all the doubts, and for all the questioning,
for all the loneliness and for all the suffering.
For all the emptiness, and the scars it left inside.
it inspired in me, an impetus to fight.
For the conviction, for the purpose found along.
For the strength and courage, that in me I've never known.
And if it seems to you, that my words are undeserved,
I write this in gratitude for whatever good it serves.
Sometimes I wish, that you could see me now.
In the rightful place, where I knew that I belonged.
Sometimes I wish, that you might someday understand.
to close the chapter, and lay to rest the past.
But nothing would change, we make the best of what we have.
for we are measured by the actions of our lives.
we bide our time, let the future unfold.
Like immortals, in great legends to be told.
My god, look at what we are now -
without regret for all the things that we have done.
Thank you for all the doubts, and for all the questioning,
for all the loneliness and for all the suffering.
For all the emptiness, and the scars it left inside.
it inspired in me, an impetus to fight.
To all who stood with me, when we stood as one.
Thank you for guiding me, for bringing me home.
And if it seems that I'm obliged to say these words,
I write this in gratitude, the least that you deserve.

Steffanie's theme songs are Rush's "Dreamline (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xtt0MUB93Ms)" and "Headlong Flight (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcFGrWjOX0E)"

Z-ARK's theme song is pretty self-evident.
Human After All (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIOCc0tfoqA)
Felix Kor-Azor's took a little more thought, but I think this is close.

I don't always fully immerse myself in the character Veikitamo Gesakaarin but when I do I listen to, Vicarious (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hii17sjSwfA), by Tool. Mostly because it's the only song/lyrics that I feel fit her:
Eye on the TV
'cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavour
It happens to be like;
Killed by the husband
Drowned by the ocean
Shot by his own son
She used the poison in his tea
And kissed him goodbye
That's my kind of story
It's no fun 'til someone dies
Don't look at me like
I am a monster
Frown out your one face
But with the other
Stare like a junkie
Into the TV
Stare like a zombie
While the mother
Holds her child
Watches him die
Hands to the sky crying
Why, oh why?
'cause I need to watch things die
From a distance
Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies
You all need it too, don't lie
Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
Neither the brave nor bold
The writers of stories sold
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
I need to watch things die
From a good safe distance
Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same so
Why can't we just admit it?
Blood like rain come down
Drawn on grave and ground
Part vampire
Part warrior
Carnivore and voyeur
Stare at the transmittal
Sing to the death rattle
La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie
Credulous at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men.
Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen.
Shouldn't have to say it all again.
The universe is hostile. So impersonal. Devour to survive.
So it is. So it's always been.
We all feed on tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire
Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I
In a lot of ways, it also expresses how I feel about capsuleers and Eve in general. I don't try to play Veik as anything particularly unique or special in my own mind, she's just a natural consequence and product of the violence inherent in her occupation to me.

Heh. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCbtXC0u-Jo) This is sort of fitting I guess.

Well.. not Luna's but Maria Daphiti's. I can't quite believe this planned research character alt who I made to be anti-grim dark sugary and sweet got a reason to RP but I enjoyed the RP with Steff the other night. I wonder if she got all the movie references....

Coro: Lodi Al Gran Dio (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=sBHvp8wN8R0#t=4954) from Mozart (not the best version here). And what mixture this might be?! :twisted:
Edit: L'amour à trois (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yq36khPmYU) also applies!

Themesong:
Cosmic Gate & Emma Hewitt - Be Your Sound (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxMtO7HvXzA)
I tried not to pick a popular song, but I couldn't help it. It fits well, and also features the person I loosely modeled Cuci's appearance after.

My supersekrit space trucker and smuggler alt. She's always trying to stay a step ahead of Customs agents - the cargo is always ethical if sometimes not very legal - and six ex-husbands. (Gottii or Jack gets to be lucky ex number seven if she has anything to say about it; the other will just have to be Mister Eight.)
[spoiler](https://image.eveonline.com/Character/812430175_512.jpg)[/spoiler] George Thorogood - Ride on Josephine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj1Aa0EdvVw)
Spiderbait - Black Betty (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckPfk3Lu8PU)
My superdupersekrit trader alt who is the brains that keeps the other one and her crew paid more often than Firefly or Han Solo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQJDrohLoOw). Shy to the point of terror, the most she's said to anyone in a conversation was a squeak and three sentences - except for negotiating trade deals. She's used to - and takes a tragic comfort in - always being overlooked, even while wishing - and being terrified - that she wasn't.

Ai yaa, this makes me want to write full character pages for them instead of a couple of sentences and *gasp* start playing again. >.<
And, I'm sorry, but I linked a Maynard song, and he's like cookies: you can't have just one. So... For those dark moments of self-doubt and regret about things done for 'the greater good':

... I'm surprised I never posted in this thread for myself. I thought I had; Ihad a list at one point but must have misplaced it or not posted or something. Oh well.
In any case, Arista found this one for Morwen yesterday. It's pretty accurate at the moment.

@Dessau, Morwen: Really good choices. Fits exactly what I had in mind for them.
Charles' theme would most likely be Mystery Skulls - Unstoppable (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6znq6NJdps) simply because of the audaciousness, the fact he's trying to live up to the song's name, and dat synth. Either that, or Trentemoller - Miss You (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DUCKGyojpE) for a more truthful fanfare, I suppose.

If Miz resurfacing works as I hope... well, I give you Amon Amarth - For Victory or Death (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvLztHir4aw) which is viking metal as fuck, and the lyrics couldn't be better if I wrote them myself.
Time has come to wash our shame away
To erase the image of defeat
We have licked our wounds, restored our strength
And our vengeance will be, oh, so sweet
They thought they had us down
That we'd never rise again
They will learn that they were deadly wrong
What's owed will be repaid
Again we'll feed the wolves
And then vengeance will be ours
We'll split their skulls and spill their guts
Upon the frozen ground
Yeah, we'll never kneel again
Not to deity, nor men
Now they'll taste our bitter hate
What's owed will be repaid
So raise the flag once more
And the eagle will be fed
Once again we march to war
For victory or death
They arrived with talk of Hvitekrist
By force they wanted us to kneel
With their swords held to our throats they preached
But we will make them pay, we'll take their lives away
So raise, raise the flag once more
In the east the eagle will be fed
March again, we march to war
We will march for victory or death
Pain, the pain and suffering
Is but a bleak and distant fading dream
Shame, our disgrace, a withering thought
Now finally our names will be redeemed

This is Anyanka's theme!
This was too easy. This was the old Anyanka, when she was just a seed in the mud, all she wanted was blood. She has sprouted now and needs a new theme that conveys her growth so far.
Twiztid - The Deep End (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB-vIF1ZYgA)
This is Anyanka's new theme!
Trigger warning: It's a song about suicide.
[spoiler]
It sits and corrodes in the bottomless pit of my soul
Becoming half of the better damaged portion of what's whole
Some call it sick, deranged, insane and sometimes
I prefer it rather that to be just labeled this plain
Or played like some disfigured chess piece
In life's corrupted game
Feel the sorrow
Life reaps and sows, accepting it
But still wanting to grow
Or just let go but the grips from the fingertips
Of insanity's overbearing hold
Feels airtight
As if I need the jaws of life to come and cut me
Out the darkness in an effort to shed light on the subject
To the public, the world can live without me
Still feel blessed inside to speak my mind
And hoping they never doubt me
And through death hoping they remember
And never ever will they ever forget about me
And if I'm resurrected
Second coming of second life
Second chance to know about me to have sight
Beyond sight, close your eyes and still see
If I were just the same
As the rest of you little robots
Then I prefer to be shot
Induce me with the pain
Shoot venom in my veins
Cause you don't know my story
No, you don't know my story
There's really nothing for me
So leave me in this worry
(In the end is glory)
Feel like an 8 by 10 in a 5 by 7
I'm in the wrong frame of mind
And I wish my indiscretions had a warning sign
But I get by
And that's a lie
But I gotta refuse to let em' know
That on the line in which I ride
I choose to break away
Wanna bring it back
That which you take from me
Even if it means I gotta go to war with everyone
Who wanted to end my little bit of everything
Guess I'm too mad or too sad to sing
I was born in a city
But now I'm living in a confused state
That's full of decay like a toothache
They tried to pull me out but it was too late
Now I'm a product of a brand new hate
I'd rather die than be what you say
Living a lie to let the truth hang
Individualize me like a new gang
While the rest of y'all just sit there and get played
I'm drowning in a pool of my surroundings
I put this knife to my Adam's apple
Let's start the backwards countdown from ten
I'm a tatted rascal
Fleeting from the lines
An acid jackal
Shackles all on my palms
Because psychedelic trips gone bad
Recollections of my pissed off dad
Sitting in the pathfinder
And I still ain't found shit but
Old silhouetted pictures of me with my wrist cut
And I wish you well
Hell, I was bullied by the Minotaur
School with a crew
With a toolie
Inside a rental car
You don't learn from god inside a seminar
But you hear about the devil every which way you turn
Perhaps we were made to burn in hell-fire
And I desire to be stronger
But the songs I sing
Go ever somber in this life of mine
Memoirs of the suicidal
I guess my father is my truest idol
Gone

For Ji'Kahr, it's this.
SKY PILOT by the Animals.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69zvFnVa03g
"He blesses the boys as they stand in line
The smell of gun grease and the bayonets they shine
He's there to help them all that he can
To make them feel wanted he's a good holy man
Sky pilot.....sky pilot
How high can you fly
You'll never, never, never reach the sky ."
The Amarrian priest blesses the devout DUSTie troops, and the Squadrons of faithful capsuleers as they head into battle.
Despite the fact that they/ we live and travel between the stars, the faithful Amarrian clone soldier or capsuleer that are servants of God can never truly 'reach the sky', or Heaven. Cloned flesh is, after all, an unholy thing.
Just for fun, this song makes me think of Blood Raiders.
Sanik, Bloody Sanik.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReuBms-qZQk
Also, Sansha's Nation makes me think of this song.
(Perhaps the lyrics aren't appropriate, but I just imagine a lot of half dead zombified cyborgs in swarms of combat ships as 'Children of the Grave'.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rihpED_obk
I'm not sure how widely known LEXX is outside of Canada. However, it was my favorite Science Fiction show in the 1990s. The Divine shadow makes me think of the Amarrian Emperor, and the cluster makes me think of the Amarr Empire. I suppose you could say the LEXX itself was a Titan ship.
The moth breeders make me think of Sansha's slaves, zombified humans that have been transformed into drone like slaves.

This one had me stumped for a while, until I accidentally sat on my iPod and this started blaring in my headphones. The shortened (and faster) version of Origa's Rise (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2InrTb5rYoQ) from Ghost in the Shell 2nd GiG is a good fit for Commander Baxter especially given his military background.
And his combat music, of course, rocks out to Run Rabbit Junk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l13RCQNUyI4&feature=related).
It's interesting to see what I picked three years ago, but after two years of character development I don't think it fits anymore. His theme is probably Better Tomorrow (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxCYcFLlodk) from Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty, although by this point he's probably cynical enough to be closer to Jim Raynor than Matt Horner. (Maybe three years ago he would've been Horner ... but not now.)

Time to resurrect this topic.
Aria could probably sing about 90% of this song verbatim right now, and mean it.

This song is good for Thal as a character.

While this one still applies to him, it is more of his family's theme.

Anyanka's Kinda Party! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H8xDMe6vJ0)
[spoiler]
Party til I black out, that's how I do
So when I wake up in the morning bloody, that's my excuse
It's like a scavenger hunt, finding all the body parts
Piece 'em all back together neatly, that's when the fun starts
I'm a motherfucking Juggalo, deep in my DNA
Raising fools from the dead P.A.R.K
With a handful of who know what straight to the dome
Fuck pennies doin' brain race from home to home
You bitches!
Anybody wanna get another way to make em want his head
Make em really wanna die today and find a way
To take another bite but I gotta start grinds away
Have 'em all over the house, and they never gonna figure it out
And if some-body, ever go like we, really nobody underground
I just wanna go town to town
I ain’t got nothing but murder on the mind
And a face with a frown, now everybody in this bitch get down
I ain't never, have never, will ever, not sever
My endeavors of murdering all of my party guests
Murder! Death! My kind of party
Fuck! You! That's how I roll
Living! Dead! My kind of army
Dark! Lotus! Out of control
Get it started with an axe to the forehead
Blood flowin' everywhere another motherfucker dead
Take his brains out, get to munchin'
Like a luncheon, fuck assumptions
I am the cannibal on the hunt
And the party ain't startin' til I'm gettin' some
Blood on my tongue, flesh in my teeth
I cut the fat off, get the beat
Another sacrifice gotta feed this appetite
Lotus party and I'mma do it right
Get your hands up for the brethren
Party startin', where you headin'?
To the plot like panties spreadin'
Rise the deady, come on buddy
I'm killin' like Jason, my machetes swinging fast now
Hacked so many bodies, I'm tired I'm finna pass out
Gotta shake it off with a jumping jack
Gotta limber up quick, fast cat like reflex
Swift like a ninja disappear then I’ll reappear
Only for a second, long enough to chop necks
Dark Lotus and we're back in this bitch
Like a size 12 belt on a 50 inch waist
So tired in this motherfucker deep like uppers
With enough room just to paint our face
Five petals with the thirst for blood
And we straight from swamp and we're looking to rock shit
My kinda party with an axe in one hand
Machete in the other, box cutter in my pocket
Dragonfly wings on my back Lotus sign in the sky
I sit up on a mountain sippin' rock and rye
I got sap in my blood goo and a swamp under water
Minutes after my seed hatched, learned how to slaughter
Crystal ball shatters if you seek out the (Lotus)
Tarot cards catch fire, we know your desire
Stare at us in disgust, your skull will combust
Ka-boom! Forever Dark Lotus!

I don't know about my other characters, but it occurred to me the theme song for Malaneth Serir (who is the Chaplain for Hilion Narath. Yes, some of my alts have underling alts :yar:) is 'Take Me To Church', but only for a pretty strictly literal interpretation of the lyrics.

Not and EVE player but boy do I like trying to choose individual things to attempt to represent a character...it's rather challenging.
This song was inspired by a swagalascious mentor of mine, the mercenary known as the Disciple of Ke$ha.
I think this is the spiritual anthem of all the Amarr.
[spoiler] [Verse 1: Iggy Aridia]
First thing's first, I'm the holiest (holiest)
Drop this and let the whole universe feel it (let them feel it)
And I'm still in the Slava’ Bizness
I could hold you down, like I'm givin' lessons in theology (right, right)
You should want a bad bitch like this (huh?)
Drop it low and pick it up just like this (yeah)
Cup of Ace, cup of Goose, cup of Cris
Combat boots, putting handcuffs on your wrist (on your wrist)
Takin' all the liquor straight, never chase that (never)
In the MCC like we bringin' YC88 back (what?)
Bring the slaves in, where the bass at?
Spiced wine spillin', you should taste that
Amarr so fancy
You already know
I'm in the fast lane
From Athra to 5IO8-U
I'm so fancy
Can't you taste this gold?
Remember my name
'Bout to blow
[Verse 2: Classiarii]
I said, "Empress, I do this, I thought that you knew this."
Can't stand non-believers and honest, the truth is
And my flow devoted, they speak it depart it
Swagger on super, I can't shop at no Jita department
better get my gold on time, if they don’t glitter, decline
And swear I meant that there so much that they give that scripture a rewind
So get my gold on time, if they don’t glitter, decline
I just can't worry 'bout no heathen, gotta stay on my grind
Now tell me, who that, who that? That do that, do that?
Put that paper over all, I thought you knew that, knew that
I be the Templar, put my name in gold
I been crusadin, I'm up in here with some faith to throw
Amarr so fancy
You already know
I'm in the fast lane
From Athra to 5IO8-U
I'm so fancy
Can't you taste this gold?
Remember my name
'Bout to blow
Enslave the Minmatar
Let's get drunk on on the mini-bar
Make the phone call
Feels so good getting what we want
Yeah, keep on burning them up
Crushing your culture, we don't give a fuck
Holo star, yeah I'm deluxe
Classic, expensive, you don't get to touch
Ow...
[Verse 3:Sung by Iggy Aridia on behalf of Jamyl Sarum]
Still breathin', Heirs do you love that?
Got the Cluster asking how I does that
Hot Empress, hands off, don't touch that
Head to the floor I bet you wishing you could clutch that
It's just the way you like it, huh?
You're so good, he's just wishing he could worship it, huh?
Never turn down slaving,
Slaying these Matari, gold trigger on the gun like
Amarr so fancy
You already know
I'm in the fast lane
From Athra to 5IO8-U
I'm so fancy
Can't you taste this gold?
Remember my name
'Bout to blow

So many thanks to Astera for suggesting this one, as I was stuck for a very long time on what to go for with Arkon.
But here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQTCS6aWRSc) we go, and perhaps in a similar vein this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9IfHDi-2EA) may also suit.

I think Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd2B6SjMh_w) fits Tein pretty well. Introspection is one of her hobbies at least.
-
So, over time, I've named a lot of themes for Aria. Usually I don't get anything near a perfect fit; usually, it's just something that was inspirational with respect to some part of her character.
This one, though, is damn near to perfection-- which is especially impressive considering how few lyrics it has.

yes, but Thal isn't an egger. He uses a giant slab of steel with plasma edges.

Introducing you to Berserk was arguably the worst thing I've ever done. Still I'm not surprised you liked it as much as you did since it seems to hit all of the 'Thal characteristics' in a single series.
Off the top of my head I don't really have a song for True Adamance (Kador Ouryon). I'm slowly leaning in favour of cyberpunky tunes at the moment.
But for cloned soldiers and capsuleers alike S.C.A.V.A - Hollywood Undead initially struck a chord. The music is the best bit but I can't find it without the vocals with the exception of the piano version.

I do not have a definite theme for Elmund Egivand but I usually undock while listening to any of the Armored Core OSTs or Caravan Palace.
However, I did mix a couple of Luftrausers theme for my frigates/tactical destroyers/assault frigates.
Yes, each individual ships that Elmund flies have their own battle theme. After all, in-character-wise Elmund considers himself the vehicle for his own ships to achieve greatness.

Hmm, I do have a theme song actually:
Cocteau Twins - Persephone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr8u0VeHWVw

This one was hard. Utari is a mishmash of emotions, motivations, background and all sorts. But I think part of his psyche, the inner tormoil, in portrayed very well in:
VNV Nation - Joy (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nomNwSWIhlw)
It's a little corny/cheesy when you look up the lyrics, but there's a few choice ones about Capsuleers in general too

It's been a tiddle and I have a current theme and a half.
First, current theme. An ongoing character trait of Ibrahim is that even in a given moment he can be loftily dismissive, mean spirited, sarcastic, cruel, and even downright not an all around good guy (and he's not) but he is, at his core (for now, at any rate) fully enthused by his immortality, freedom, and wealth. Basically, he has the carefree nature of someone, well, free of care. Further, he is confused (but not surprised) that so many of his fellow Empyreans do not share this constant feeling of ultimate fortune (and this might be [probably is] a symptom of his lack of global (but not situational) empathy, sympathy, or guilt (arguably in the manner that Westerners ignore the plight of the countless millions and billions that make our comparatively serene lifestyle possible and affordable [I am not making this political; I just got to this point in the paragraph and realized it's a good analogy plus I am paid by the comma, parenthesis, and bracket] hundreds and thousands and millions of deaths stack up for the typical Capsuleer and most of us treat it on a scale between Inconsequential and Necessary; very few wrestle with it, nobody I can think of is actually paralyzed with horror at what we all do almost daily [a standard mission is a Holocaust; a capital fight an extinction event, a nullwar is Exterminatus).
Back to the song and Ibrahim just chilling through it all like an iced Irish Coffee! This song actually mirrors more or less the previous song (also Panic! At the Disco, sue me, I know what I like) except now he's of the opinion that he's not looking for a change ("New Perspective") but thinks he's settling into the Gold Standard of what he wants his Now to be. (Semi) Big Guy to quiet employee free of responsibility (unless Makoto cracks a whip and changes the WiFi password). He feels like he's starting to really, really understand what having it all means.
Holy Maker, did that get away from me.
"(Fuck A)Silver Lining" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZUopuhqwCM)
P.S.
This following song isn't a theme but has struck me for two reasons. Reason one, clearly some Ibrahim trademarks are being infringed upon. Bald villain with a gold nose covering? Just put the monocle on and be done with it. Reason the second, among many themes that the song explores one seems to be the potential incompatibility with love and and absolutists political opinion/ambition of domination/ability to press death rays when push comes to shove, what have you.
Ibrahim is a real multi-culturalist/multi-nationalist. This probably comes from a lack of conviction and a flexible morality plus I like to think he can set aside nation, faith (insofar as he has it), rank, culture, even the need to be shown respect if it means getting along with someone and having a drink or a nice chat. I think that's evident in the interactions of the character across traditional no-go lines. I suppose peace isn't made with friends and arms deals are made with anybody.

I have a strong suspicion that my character's theme songs are actually just tracking with my own life-state assessments. That make sense, really, considering my age and stage in life. Ibrahim has always been very shallow in the sense that he's been built around many aspects of my RL personality (particularly when it comes to interests, knowledge, background, current angst, and the day to day fill-in of activity). But that has only ever been superficial; fluff added on top.
Lately the melding is much more complicated. It felt odd that this particular piece is resonating not just with me but with the character. When I stole from my RL to fill Ibrahim out it wasn't to make him a surrogate. He is still just a character. That said, my attitude in life meshes so well in particular instances (not that circumstances are even remotely comparable). I guess if you're not a particularly creative RPer this is bound to happen. The accidental mixing of yourself and your character. But as an RPer (or a pseudo-RPer) I think the character got away from me and now has unintended motivations for which I must account and with which I must deal.
Anywho, this. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExVtrghW5Y4)
