Your current/latest character's theme song?

[Pika...]

Just wondering what you would play as your character's theme song if you could have one.


My current PC:
Catfolk Lv.19 Dread Necromancer.
Image of her (no joke...):

Her theme: *Clickie* (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk0C3EfiIMw)

[Morithias]

Dark changling Deathstalker/Legacy Champion

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMX1dG7vDCM&feature=related

Meet the spy soundtrack.

(Hide in plain sight = cloak)
(Feign death = dead ringer)
(Death attack = Backstab)

XD I am zee spy and I am coming for you!

[noparlpf]

It wasn't for any character specifically, but earlier I was looking at some of the sorcerer/wizard spells. I think I was looking at Irresistible Dance and I thought to myself, "Huh, no somatic components. Just verbal. I wonder what you could say to someone to get them to dance?" And then for some reason this popped into my head: link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4d7Wp9kKjA).

The fact that I had Lostprophets playing on my other speakers while I found this on youtube made everything much stranger for several seconds.

[Mr.Smashy]

Strong Heart Halfling Rogue2/Fighter2/Scout2.

"Can't Touch This" -MC Hammer.

AC 32 when fully buffed.


Human Cleric of Ohgma 10
"The Beautiful Ones" - Prince.

Into Art and Knowledge.

[Kavurcen]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdMQEN8v49A
Human rogue with a lot of Soviet Russia flavor and fluff.

[Drelua]

Dancing barbarian with a warhammer. Once, when he won a dance-off, he finished with the words "Stop! Hammertime", got his hammer out of his glove of storing, and made a hell of a mess. When someone missed him, he'd usually say "can't touch this". I made sure to give him a very high AC.

[UnholyPenance]

Cenoxal, ,my sorcerer Alienist, i'd have to say his theme song would be "My Alien" by Simple Plan.

[Stix]

I was informed that we'd be playing a primarily urban political/social game the possibility of going entire sessions without (openly) drawing a weapon. in light of this our party consisted of me. social rogue diplomancer. the rest of the players decided to make...a barbarian a druid and an evoker...

my GM in his mercy scrapped his original plan and gave the party tasks they were built for. clearing out a dungeon in the middle of nowhere. i spent the entire adventure hiding in the back so as not to be bludgeoned or blasted just to diplomance a few goblins into leaving without us having to fight them. 4 hours 3 skill checks. social butterfly in a dungeon.

Theme song: the beautiful letdown (switchfoot)

[myancey]

For my crit fighter I prefer Black Betty by Ram Jam, but only when in combat.

[Scarlet-Devil]

Well, one of my current characters is a NG Elf Swordsage, who disdains violence, refuses to kill a sentient being, and tends to go to great lengths to settle problems peacefully. She also tends to be very calm and is always trying to persuade her companions to avoid senseless combat (one of the other characters is a hot headed and violent cleric of war, so we tend to have moral debates a lot; luckily he's CG though). She's a learned scholar, who's favourite subjects are philosophy and the natural world, and adventures to learn, experience the world, and test herself, rather than for wealth or fame.

Her theme song might be something like this (Earth, by Susumu Hirasawa): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ak_jATqoRc&feature=related

[terminusdrop321]

NE Human Sorceror/Fiend Blooded,
Animal i have become, Three Days Grace.

[jeice]

If I were to play a Barbarian then whenever he raged his theme song would be Need to Be Strong (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pWEtpcFCjo) from Naruto. That song amps me up whenever I hear it and I immediately picture someone getting pissed off and opening up a can of whoop-ass on someone.

[NikitaDarkstar]

Hmm my characters tend to have entire playlists to themselves, especially the long running ones. But lets see what I can do with my two active ones

Out of the stuff I normally play as background music for my gravity defying rogue (lvl 25 sorry put gravity is a suggestion now not a fact.) that's built for absurd speed and agility, Pump it by Black eyed Peas fits her the best, it has the speed and the general attitude she has. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaI2IlHwmgQ&ob=av3e



And my brand new undead streetfighter? I dunno yet but I imagine something along the lines of Dying for an Angel by Avantasia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGvgGDpUAxs both the lyrics and feel fits him rather well I think. It's rather lengthy and dark so I won't go into it here, but the feel does fit his backstory, but not quite his personality, but that might or might not change since my characters have a habit of shifting alignment after a while.

[Greenish]

Out of the stuff I normally play as background music for my gravity defying rogueI thought for sure that his music would be "Defying gravity (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlMBcTGJ4YM)". :smalltongue:


My (mostly) swordsage, ”Sterling" Staph Daergel (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=292160) has this classic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhUkGIsKvn0).

[kharmakazy]

Warforged mineral warrior warblade//arcane swordsage


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LjbMVXj0F8

[Psyren]

Her theme: *Clickie* (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk0C3EfiIMw)

Needs more nyancat.

I'm tempted to just post a martial build and Drowning Pool like millions before me.

[Delcor]

We had a party theme song

Prince of Darkness, I don't know who its by or even if thats the name, but it goes something like this:

"Prince of Darkness, you have no power here BEGONE!"

[NikitaDarkstar]

I thought for sure that his music would be "Defying gravity (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlMBcTGJ4YM)". :smalltongue:


My (mostly) swordsage, ”Sterling" Staph Daergel (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=292160) has this classic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhUkGIsKvn0).

Haha no but it's not a bad song. :p But really anything with loads of attitude and high tempo fits my girl. :p (I could have gone with Ozzy Osbourne I don't wanna stop, Can't save you or Trap Door to. the last one is pretty fitting too "Too late, standing on the trap door!" pretty much sums up her fighting style...XD)

[Greenish]

Next time I'll get to play in an evil campaign I'm making Stagger Lee.

Just not sure about the version, there're so many (http://www.staggerlee.com/pgs/the-list.php). Probably Lloyd Price (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCPutYaGFlE) or Mississippi John Hurt (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8S-Pu6T0Q0).

[DegenPaladin]

Sir Al'drich Knight of the Black Sun (Pathfinder Paladin / Crusader)
Indestructible by Disturbed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWxBrI0g1kE&ob=av2n)

Your basic battlefield controlling tank. Well at least as good as I can using Paladin.

[Yukitsu]

Eliza Watts. A wierd D&D, D20 future mashup technomage that can send you spells/buffs/pretty much anything through a cell phone. A yandere stalker girl.

Theme song, telephone lines by electric light orchestra.

[big teej]

my most recent creation doesn't have a set-in-stone theme song yet...

but I'm thinking of going with Aces High by Iron Maiden...

the character is based entirely around his mount.

a Fighter-Bomber Wyvern.
wands of magic missle/fireball/lightningbolt/etc. for guns.
alchemests fire/acid/orc shotput/etc. for bombs.

also in the running is Bomber by Motorhead

[herrhauptmann]

3rd edition Paladin pulled into AD&D Ravenloft (rebuilt for rules change) Gone Away (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=numCZoBFcv4&ob=av2e). It was a proper Ravenloft campaign, not some excuse to go vampire bashing.
Though something that made mention of the hell called the Vietnam would've worked. Pulled an "They're all around us man!" first time tried detecting evil.

Cleric of Lathander in AD&D Ravenloft: Cleansed by Fire (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mnb3mzP0Z0Y). Mainly due to how his story ended.
Though most of the albums Last temptation and Brutal Planet would've done well for him too.
Yes, I tend to religious characters in settings that don't treat them very kindly.

And then we started a planeswalker campaign in 3E that had us assaulting the 9 hells. Guess who the DM suggested I run. Alice Coopers Dragontown would've fit him at that point, but it wasn't even released until the campaign was over.

[Groverfield]

Evil campaign I was in a while back: Imp Fiend of Blasphemy / Evangelist
Journey - Don't stop Believin'

[Zeikstraal]

My last character was an Fighter Archer. We where doing on Ancient Greek, Egyptian, Norse campaign. My charachter was a Spartan elite, a secret army that invaded the other countrys and did the dirty work. To become one you had to be good in fighting by a very young age, this due brainwashing things. The training was very hard, and due to not listening and fighting with others, he had to kill his best friend in a tournament.
He later killed his squad when he realized murdering an entire innocent village was kinda evil.

He was a cold heart, who actualy was deeply depressed by his traumatic experience, when someone asked him about his past he would be furious and would think they are searching for him, he was a bit paranoia also, and he never showed any facial expression.

I think this song sums it up real good

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM_fUEz3UP8

[ShneekeyTheLost]

My character in the sadly cut-short (due to DM banning) PbP game on these forums was a Dragontouched elf Bardblade build using DFI and IC optimization.

Only one song can appropriately express inspiring allies to burn things with a draconic bent... you already know what this is... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ofgctjaVqI)

[DoughGuy]

I'm currently playing a Gestalt Archivist//Factotum who is strongly religious and planning to go into Church Inquisitor. Some of the lyrics to this song, and just the general fell of it, are how I imagine him.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcqPo_WcYaU

[Sir Homeslice]

Lesser Tiefling Dragonborn Dragonfire Adept named Valen Acerbi, the Dragon's Mind (title required). Considered himself one of the three beings (Fury and Presence were the other two) that merge to become The Dragon, basically the most Perfect Dragon to do... whatever it wants to do, really. He was incredibly greeedy, and was pretty obsessed with the concept of it. The theme I chose was well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGSX03xzJc4

If I could've scrounged up the points for cake baking, I would've done it, too.

[Telonius]

Halfling Cleric of Urogalan. "Don't Fear the Reaper"

[NOhara24]

Currently he's just a level 6 paladin with show-offy tendencies. So "Ladies and Gentlemen" By Saliva works out pretty well.

When he gets his first level in Gray Guard though, it will likely be "For whom the Bell Tolls." (Taking into account how Smite Evil turns into Smite Chaotic...and then just Smite.)

[NOhara24]

Dancing barbarian with a warhammer. Once, when he won a dance-off, he finished with the words "Stop! Hammertime", got his hammer out of his glove of storing, and made a hell of a mess. When someone missed him, he'd usually say "can't touch this". I made sure to give him a very high AC.

Oh god, I lol'd. Tell me he had a high-top fade.

[Serpentine]

Don't have a theme song for any recent characters, but I had one for my short-lived Vampire character, who looked like this:http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-ash1/v361/0/62/1030392692/n1030392692_30182151_4945.jpg

My ex's main D&D character, an elf Rogue, had Been Caught Stealing by Jane's Addiction (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrwjiO1MCVs&ob=av3e) as his theme song.

[Fitz10019]

My Improved Grapple, Improved Trip, low-charisma Dwarf Monk leads a death-defying life (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2l3a7lsEgFM). When he winds up in the hay, it's only hay, hey, hey.

[Ryu_Bonkosi]

I have a few.

In the first game I was in there was a barbarian in the group who's idea of how to solve all problems was to kick down the door, charge into the middle of a mob, and then cleave everything in his path. We gave him this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GFRRUYhEDM&feature=fvst) theme song and we played it every time he did this.

My latest character is a bard who uses the violin to evoke tears and empathy from the audiance with the pain of her past. This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmMWha-sBnc) song is usually what plays while doing so.

And finally, in one of my most recent games the group had just staged a Coup D'état and successfully taken over the country with our own fascist paramilitary organization. After we had the epic show down with the king and made the party face the new leader of the country, we addressed the people of the nation with this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRIAw6LkqlE) playing in the background on a loop.

[navar100]

I talk about this in the gaming group's in jokes thread. I had a cleric whom out of character I gave the theme song "I Need A Hero" that in game became part of campaign lore.

As for my current character, no theme song yet emerges conclusively but for now I go with "Rainbow Connection", as he is a Sorcerer and I choose my spells based on a colors theme.

Previous character is easy: "I'm Too Sexy For My Shirt", as he was a crusader/master of nine who liked to fight shirtless and looked for excuses to become so. He was insulting his enemies because they were defeated by a half-naked human, a male at that when it involved drow.

[Drelua]

Oh god, I lol'd. Tell me he had a high-top fade.

Of course. He also had sparkly golden parachute pants, and a pet monkey assassin named Furious George. He didn't know it was an assassin, but that was a very rude monkey. It once rolled a 20 on a disguise check to dress up as the party rogue, then death attacked the archmage when he got suspicious.

Sorry for going a little off-topic.

[Quietus]

I've got a character on RPOL that was entirely based off of a song found in one of these threads from about a year ago, "Winterborn" by the Cruxshadows. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVNjx4k8mWk

[JaronK]

My Dread Necromancer's theme was absolutely "I Can't Decide" by the Scissor Sisters.

Great song right there.

[marcielle]

Recently made a brand new sandshaping, mask wearin, samurai slingin, knowledge skills up the wazoo(seriously, the guy's a walking encyclopedia) Factotum. Haven't decided yet but here's a strong contender:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHkrAQSxbQc
Even comes with free fantasy style adaption.

[panaikhan]

If I was going to pick a theme song for my characters, it would have to be totally cheezy.

For example:
- "Bad to the Bone" (can't remember artist - an oldie) for my NE Necromancer. Or maybe "Nobodies" (Marilyn Manson)

the two people who perform it best are Molly Hatchet and George Thorogood and the Destroyers...

I don't know who played it first... but I prefer Hatchet's version

[Etrivar]

My character doesn't have one, but our party has a werebunny whose theme song is "Animal I Have Become" by Three Days Grace.

[panaikhan]

I'm thinking of the one they used in the opening credits for the film "Christine"

[DoctorGlock]

Current (though on prolonged hiatus) NE Venerable Necropolitan Wizard 5/Incantatrix 8/Ultimate Magus 10, using every cheese that can be pulled off while still being a legit character. Was attempting to directly integrate himself into the fabric of time. Theme: God Bound by Rules from NieR

Song: Deceiver of Fools by within temptation
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBzvRt15nhk

Latest: LG-CE Lesser Aasimar Cleric 6/Prestige Paladin 1

Song: The Truth Beneath the Rose by Within Temptation
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyuJI73Uxns
yeah... I play evil quite often

[Elvencloud]

There's a shaman in the Norse campaign that I'm running, and they know they're facing Ragnarok- And for a moment, it was a shaman on shaman combat.
Considering the translation, this was her theme. :D (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkYYYew8CUI)

[That_guy_there]

I have a bunch of characters in several campaigns:

A hulking Hurler/ 2hand Sword Hill Giant that is more or less the powerhouse of his group: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EVVKNcI48Y
(Mostly because it fits with his need to charge and toss)

A small Sly Whisper Gnome built for hiding weapons and fast talking people:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4e1vA1w-QA
(He's very crafty and will stab you in the back when your not looking!)

A Chaotic Good elf fighter who's 1/2 of a sheild and sword team (He strikes from the back line while the other guy defends with an untouchable AC): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Kuns0bJtU4
(It has an unstopable army feel to it that kinda meshes with how the 2 characters have sort of steamrolled over the villians fo far)

I also have a Warblade Shifter in a "no-magic" setting who TWFs with a bastard sword and heavy spiked sheild (and also a gore), and he has most of the leaping/ pouncing/ dodging manuevers and stances: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwg033Ze3Lk
(For obvious reasons)

[panaikhan]

I haven't clicked on any of the links so far (low bandwidth), but I wonder if anyone has been RickRoll'd yet? :smallbiggrin:

[Thelion]

Dancing barbarian with a warhammer. Once, when he won a dance-off, he finished with the words "Stop! Hammertime", got his hammer out of his glove of storing, and made a hell of a mess. When someone missed him, he'd usually say "can't touch this". I made sure to give him a very high AC.

That was exactly the same case with my warhammer wielding knight and his 31 AC :smallbiggrin: I guess MC Hammer works with most high AC/hammer wielding characters.

[Niceman]

I'm thinking of the one they used in the opening credits for the film "Christine"

That was the George Thorogood version

[Niceman]

For my Wizard, I hadn't thought of it, but the first thing that comes to mind fits so I'd say the theme to the movie Lifeforce by Henry Mancini:

http://youtu.be/_rwUOut0CqA

My half-orc Bard (Naz'Reth) is a drummer, and I first came across the Japanese taiko group Yakudo in their cameo in the cheesy, but fun monster movie Deep Rising. They were the taiko band on a cruise ship playing one of their songs in the background (sad they all got eaten by monsters). Was very cool and I picture him playing this sort of stuff (his drums are enchanted with Ghost Sound to provide the other parts ;) )

This is the song they played. "Fujin" It's a live performance and at the end of the concert.. so they're getting pretty phrenetic with it, but you can see why he'd dig this stuff ;)

http://youtu.be/Ks3CFlfypQU

[Karoht]

Oracle. Healbot. Channel Energy tends to save the party rather often.
The Touch, by Stan Bush, works rather well.
