I think this may be one of my first posts in this section.

In my Star Wars: Saga Edition game, I'm trying to go for a more cinematic feel. This includes personal theme music for each character. One of my players has an Umbaran scoundrel who focuses on stealth and melee, with a personality comprised of a combination of Jack and Kasume from Mass Effect 2. Basically, a scary, scary woman with a vibroblade who slaughters stormtroopers in the dark. In the search for her theme music, I've been looking for appropriate music to suggest. Normally, I'd just ask her, but she's nervous around groups and I'd like to help her along.

Here's the request: She's a big Nine Inch Nails fan, playing someone who is essentially a hyper-violent stealth-kill type assassin/rogue character. I don't know Mr. Reznor's work very well, and would really appreciate any suggestions for appropriate theme music, preferably something I can get on YouTube.

Thanks.

You came to the right person. First, is this restricted to only NIN or NIN-like bands (mostly groups who've mixed the industrial sound with mainstream rock like Ministry? Second, any restrictions on harsh language?

Anyway, NIN tends to be highly personalized and agnsty--talking about personal emotions so it's hard to fit songs to characters without insight into the character itself. For general atmospheric stuff I'd recommend the Ghosts I-IV album as it's mostly minimalistic compositions.

So yeah:

More Chaotic (for crazy fights and such):

Big Man With Gun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lh3cJC6xdN4)
Gave Up (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVpw1SwJRBI)
1,000,000 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PDZC38doDM)
Burn (From the Natural Born Killers Soundtrack--to give you some idea. Good soundtrack by the way.) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PDZC38doDM)

More Agnsty:

Hurt (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvJKVKglIRs)


I'm sick of categorizing here's some badass songs:
Sin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEWdjtMmqGo&feature=related)
Discipline (Newer song) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OF3YePYPDBY&feature=related)
Dead Souls (A Joy Division cover, I'm also a resident Joy Division fan) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PDZC38doDM)

I dunno, I have their complete discography plus some bootlegs and remixes, but I doubt the several different versions of "Get Down Make Love" would really fit. Feel free to ask or request something different. I get an excuse to hit my NIN collection.
