Your character's theme song?

Is it a ruckus of heavy guitars and double kick bass? Or is it a little gentlers along Stairway to Heaven lines.

My guys is Tiny Teddy by The Headstones, just a blast of adrenaline.

Writhe in Pain. Metal and harpsichord from Guilty Gear X2. For all the Wild Mage, Haer, Keld and Edwin parties.

 

When playing an evil PC -- such as my neutral evil male half-elven bard Voltaire -- my theme song is "Being Evil" (or is it "When You're Evil") by, who else, Voltaire?! An excerpt:

"I pledge my allegiance
To all things dark and dire
Promise on my cursed soul
To do as I am told
Lord Demogorgon's never seen
A soldier quite like me
Who not only does his job
But does it happily."

Okay, so I'm paraphrasing a bit to adapt it to the Bhaalspawn saga, etc. Some day, maybe I'll finish carrying out my idea of turning him into a romanceable NPC, someone who accompanies the Bhaalspawn because he desires the knowledge and the experience such an opportunity offers -- dark knowledge, dark opportunities.

 

I've picked out tunes that remind me of certain characters I've played from the IE games - PS:T the BGs(Baldurs' Gates, not literally the BeeGees) and the IWDs

I have them on a songlist that I play through sometimes when I'm bored and have nothing else to listen to.

 

Hmm, interesting topic.

I've never really though about it before, but the first one that came to mind is Ride of the Valkyries.

 

Probably som choir or the like for my Paladin, reaching its crescendo when i kick Demogorgon alone...

 

"Warrior" by Wishbone Ash

I had to be a warrior
A slave I could not be
A soldier and a conqueror
Fighting to be free

or "Pilgrim" by Uriah Heep

Just a man in my prime
Love was there
But i had no time
I was cheered and adored
And i thought fame
Was all the world

Battles won and victory cheers
Were the sounds
I'd heard for years
But the woman i really loved
Was losing me
To all this blood

I only knew i had to win
And build a world
Where i was king
But leaders come and leaders go
And that's the truth
I came to know

Love or war i couldn't choose
And so both
I had to lose

 

Ride of the Valkyries would be good but I think I would go with Mars, The Bringer of War by Gustav Holst.

 

My true neutral male elven fighter's theme song is "Dragons and Fables" by Hawkwind.

"I am the child of wars never won
Take heed prisoner I am the one
Your battle's over before it's begun
For a child on the run I am free

Many tournaments fought in this land
Flying banners now dashed in the sand
The colors you wear will not keep me
For a child on the run I am free

The courts and knights of the table
Bold stories of dragons and fables
Your sword is redstained, I can see
For a child on the run I am free

Silks, satins, riches in plenty
Acres of land, four and twenty
I AM NOT YOU, I AM ME
For a child on the run I am free."

 

Basil Poledouris - Orgy (from Conan the Barbarian movie)
Guano Apes - Scratch the Pitch
I was listening to the latter for whole four hours, when I was trying to kill Demogorgon...
