Music for your characters

[Aaedimus]

When I come up with my characters, I use music to inspire their development. Each gets a theme song that I feel represents their background and when I role-play, if I can't decide how the character would react i play their theme song in my head (or i even just listen to it) while I think.

My current characters are a cursed self hating Draconic Bloodline Teifling Sorcerer Druid whos song is The Devil and the Huntsman by Daniel Pemberton (heard in King Arthur: Legend of the sword) and an Aasimar Shephard Druid Cleric from the Underdark in a Curse of Strahd campaign whos song is Chaos Theory by ShockOne.

Do any of you do the same thing? If you do, describe your character (setting?) and the song!!!

I managed to find a punk song about a detective, which works perfectly for my magical detective Warlock/Fighter.

From the moment that we met it’s been obvious to me that you’re adept,
At finding answers to hard questions,
I’m far too squeamish, how can someone be this calm?
When confronted with a crime scene that looks like an abattoir?
I do not know,
Searching for evidence,
Hearing footsteps slowly creeping, this is getting much too tense,
Come on gumshoe, be the one to help me out,

I’ve had trouble sleeping,
Since that villain got away,
I keep dreaming that he’ll kill us,
And we’ll share a shallow grave,
There is no one I can trust,
And the cops are so corrupt,
All protected by the politicians,
In these wicked cults,
It’s so unjust,

Searching for evidence, hearing footsteps slowly creeping, this is getting much too tense, come on gumshoe, be the one to help me out,

It’s you (just you) I’d take the case to, no second thought,
It’s you (just you) I’d take the case to, to get them caught,
Frankly you were born to lead your own detective agency,
It’s you (just you) I’d take the case to,
I’d take the case to you.

Slaughtering the dissidents, Now the coroner is waiting, this is getting much too tense, come on gumshoe be the one to help me out.

Sometimes I forget, but when I do, this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=US2nyRgg-SY)song reminds me why I like playing lawful good characters (well, that and nostalgia).
