Character Theme Songs

[Nathala Crane]

I've been playing a lot of fighting games recently, and in this genre, most characters have a theme - a song that plays during a battle against said character that in some way describes the character or his/her battle style. For the hell of it, let's use this thread for our Gemstone characters.

For Teveriel, Paladin of Voln:

Or alternatively:

Yes. I realize I'm a huge nerd. Please contribute to the thread anyway.

[Menos]

You can never go wrong with Sonata Arctica. I am going to go with Brothers in Arms for Menos, lots of good returning king with a vengeance stuff for those Vaalorians.

Edit to add, almost anything Hammerfall works. They're all about kings and paladins, but I like this one most just now.

[Menos]

And one for my unnamed rogue.

[Nathala Crane]

There are few things that say "fantasy elf" better than awesomely cheesy power metal.

[Reliel]

Hammerfall and Sonata Arctica. You sons a bitches have some good taste in music. Anyways, this overly epic battle music for the character Randgris whenever I go out hunting.

I have two that I like...one more suitable to the character and the other one that general just gets me amped up to play him.

The second:

[Reliel]

It's hard to pinpoint an appropriate theme for a character who is basically insane. Though I'm sure a metal band can cover a song for someone hearing voices in their head.

[Menos]

I'm more of a counterstrike or Metal Machine guy for Sabaton. Excellent though.

[Reliel]

Slayer, not bad. I was thinking more like this though.

A few come right to mind, depending on the type of crazy.

We have this for the abstract sort.

[Menos]

Or for angry and crazy with the aforementioned metal machine.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opB5anB5RkI

[Menos]

Or maybe they are out to get my crazy?

[Reliel]

Interesting songs. Still think Deathstars - Blitzkrieg suits the character more though.

Edit: If there's one song for "out to get me" crazy it's this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA7ZxTUxKbU

[Ardwen]

Clearly the best choice for a GS warrior

http://youtu.be/MII3ns2KTBc

[Menos]

I considered Ozzy for the crazy guy too, Crazy Train of course.

[Warriorbird]

Rodrigo Y Gabriela - Diablo Rojo

Mystikal - Danger
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHrV51GOPkE

White Zombie - Real Solution #9
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU_PKkza8YE

Lords of Acid - Out Comes The Evil
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pBwcA9YxvY

(Though at this point he has a series of 20+ song playlists)

[Nathala Crane]

If I had to choose one with lyrics, it would probably be this.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er0Czzbn-No

We are falling - falling to rise
Pain is the guide out of the wastelands
We don't need a hero
We are falling - falling to rise
No charlatan to show you the light
We don't need a hero

[Irsila]

I love this thread~ I have always had music playing to help me get into character.

For my dancer, almost anything from Dead Can Dance but this cover is my current song for her: http://youtu.be/Ddw2_3cQ18g

My rogue goes back and forth between these two Sonata Arctica songs: http://youtu.be/XkMhacy5Rwo and http://youtu.be/F7QK2qg8OS4

And this song is what inspired my young monk: http://youtu.be/S6cHKiWPYxI

[Suppressed Poet]

This song is my bard grinding through the levels:

This cover is better than Alice Cooper's original IMO, but the best cover is by my mother and I haven't been able to make her record it for me so, c'est la vie.

Interesting song.

[DaCapn]

Never had one in mind for any of my own characters but this one definitely enters my mind whenever Jeril shows up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbYtqAWDF2U

[GS4-Seomanthe]

Interesting song.

The lyrics are supposed to be from the POV of Dwight Frye, the actor playing Renfield in the 1931 rendition of Dracula.. it's strange but that's Alice Cooper for you I guess. The original has several more verses and some truly cheeseball effects but it is still a great song to cover.

[Fallen]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbYtqAWDF2U

I wonder if that was a stunt ass.

[Jhynnifer]

What I listen to varies a lot when I'm playing but if I had to narrow it down...

For my bard....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkGCBA03eAI


For my empath its a toss-up, she's a bit touched.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00T0t06Ol-I

or...

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


As for my rogue, she's a little more difficult to pinpoint...

lately its been a chorus of "FUUUU" as I get used to hunting the bowels again.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn0_FjJvVHI

[msconstrew]

For Julesia? No question.

[leifastagsweed]

Not that I actually listen to it, but this song pops into my head every time Leifa heads out on an epic hunt or when someone swoops in all chivalrous and hero-like to save the day. What can I say, I'm old school.

What plays in my mind every single time Leifa walks past in game.

When Anothi is on the way to rescue someone!

[Nathala Crane]

Awesome. I miss Lufia.

Useless/random trivia: The very first GemStone III character I ever created was named Artea Elfrea. He was an Elf Wizard.

[Anothi]

Lufia is probably one of the most overlooked games as for popularity. It has an amazing soundtrack, GREAT story, and just good overall game play.

As for Artea, he was pretty damn good. Attacks sucked, but the magic 2 stronk!

Ha! And when Galenok struts in, I'm all...

My resting AFK must have. A deff post-hunt lull

[milesalpha]

Years ago (1996ish) we sat around and picked out theme songs, I can remember only two but I thought they were great choices,

[astari]

This is the song I think of when my empath is hunting. It is an older song but still a good one.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J2QdDbelmY

These last two are older songs that do a good job of getting me hyped up to kill things.
