    Your character's theme song would be?

    I was watching the Daredevil DVD, when the bit with Elektra's work out came up. Evanescence's "Bring me back to life" was playing, and I was struck just how appropriate that was to the character. Others may disagree, but my point is that many super heroes seem to get their own song or even theme music in other medium.

    So, if you had to pick a song that best represented your characters, which songs would you pick for each?


    Off the top of my head, I think mine might go something like this:

    Lone Star- The William Tell Overture.

    Slammer- All Star, by Smash Mouth

    Surge- Over my head, by Lit

    Wildcard - Luck be a Lady, by Loesor I believe

    Stalker- Either Another one Bites the Dust or more likely in the air tonight. He wasn't quite sane, but then the Mind Master complex was "experimenting"

    So many songs, so many characters.

    Purple Haze's song, (ironically not the song he took his name from) would probably have to be Get it On by Kingdom Come.

    Blazing Arrow - sometimes just basic stereotypical Native American drum+chant music, other times 'Cherokee People"

    My oldest character, long retired, Urban Druid, actually sort of had theme songs - he sung frequently and on one occassion went so far as to set up a whole PA system (this was when I ran him as an NPC, a hero gone mad and abusing his power, facing the PCs) for a battle blasting things like Fear's "I Love Living in the City". Actually, that might be more his real theme.

    If my characters have theme "songs", they frequently don't have words -- and at least half the time I compose them. -- Pteryx

    I play a mutant named Vector and his theme song would be THROUGH BEING COOL, by Devo. Yes, he's a little strange.

    Bryce, nice choice of Sniper: Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner - Warren Zevon

    Hmm, no one's picked "More Human Than Human" - Rob Zombie

    As for my characters:
    • Spectrum : Headache - Liz Phair or possibly Telepathy by Lene Lovich wierd, headache just came on of the 2000 random song player; Probably not "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" by BoC
      Calico: Not sure, but not Tom Jones' "What's new Pussycat"
      Scales: Genisis 10 - Alan Parson project

    I know there's a perfect song for Mr. Putty. I need to look into that one.

    In college, we had redone the lyrics of ~100 songs for the themes of various heroes/villians. I wish I still had those.

    Good call. Hmm, I have based several characters on songs...

    Big john- a very large man in a fantasy game.
    I know there are more, but right now i'mhaving a brain fart.

    I'm almost tempted to make a character basedon Devo's "peekaboo" probably a villain.
    "peekaboo, I See you, and I know what you do, cause I do it too.

    Haw Haw Haw Haw"

    did I remember the title correctly?

    For Calico, what about that "Everybody Wants to be a Cat" from the Aristocats? But I don't get the sense she's that fun-loving.
