st barbara Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 Oops ! Just thought of another appropriate song for "St B". "Playing With Fire" by The Rolling Stones. I cannot come up with a theme song for my angel possessed illusionist "Zianor" however (Except maybe "That Old Master Painter From The Far Away Hills". Nah ! Don't like that ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnotherSkip Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 almost none One character I have Has "Pressure" by Billy Joel. a female bionic brick most of the rest either go with Classsical w/o words, or various theme music depending upon actions taken. A friend of mine was thinking of an english brick for the Chubbawubba song "Tubthumping" (i get knocked down, but I get up again, aint nothin gonna keep me down...)

JmOz Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 Re: Your character's theme song would be? Originally posted by Hermit 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 FYI: Luck be a Lady was originaly in the musical Guys & Dolls, Brando sung it in the MGM...

JmOz Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 I think for CRUNCH it would be something clasical with a lot of crashing sounds (Probably something from Wagner) CRUNCH was a Super Smart OIHID Brick, the HID was a huge Neanderthal looking man...He also had a unique sense of humor, so he usualy ran around acting as dumb as people would expect this neanderthal to be Bowman: William tell Overture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drrushing Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 Same reference, the Daredevil CD - "I won't back down", by Fuel I think, not sure it's packed in a box, just moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnOSpencer Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 Originally posted by lemming Hmm, no one's picked "More Human Than Human" - Rob Zombie That would be great for my character, Perfection.

Tech Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 Aw, dat's easy! This is simplicity itself to answer because I created and burned a 2 CD theme disc for my players, containing themes for heroes and villains alike. Too bad I don't have it in front of me - I even wrote out the themes and who the theme was for in the CD case. I'll try a few that I can remember: * A-team theme for Hero Group * "Why should I worry?" from 'Oliver & Company" for cool hero * I-Spy theme for detective hero * Darth Vader's theme for Dr. Destroyer, though I've got a better one. * "Our Time Has Come" from 'Cats Don't Dance' for toon character. * Luca Blight theme from Suikoden II game for Firewing * Snoopy skating on ice theme (can't remember title) for water heroine * "Trail of blood" music from FF7 for Leech * "Super motorcycle" from OMG soundtrack for college hero um, these are but a few I remember offhand. I think I have in excess of 70 theme songs for various heros and villains. If I remember more, I'll post them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberknight Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 Theme Songs No, this Cyberknight isn't the published one (and no infringement of copyright or trademark is intended). Once the other players heard the song, "Honor to Serve" by Ray Bolz became the theme song-by-acclamation for my resident and long-serving Boy Scout-in-a-Can.

Blue Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 I consider these their themes not necessarily because of lyrical content so much as after I play these songs I'm in the mood to play the character. Uncle Slam... Metallica, "Unforgiven" -or- Sarah McLachlan, "Full of Grace" Anthem... Live, "Lightning Crashes" Audra Blue... Stone Temple Pilots, "Big Empty" -or- Sisters of Mercy, "Lucretia, My Reflection" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted July 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Re: Your character's theme song would be? I got some new characters, so this seemed appropriate Astro-Knight: We Must Believe in Magic, Cyrstal Gayle Defiant: In America, Charlie Daniels Band Gaze: In the Eye, Suzzane Vega Recluse: The Itsy Bitsy Spider Triumph: The Boxer Simon and Garfunkel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Re: Your character's theme song would be? For an NPC of mine Crusader: For Cryin' Out Loud, Meat Loaf While the players tended to think it was just a song about him being lonely, they didn't realize it was a prediction of his wife's death and his change to Monarch as well. I used the Hunted CD (movie with Chrostopher Lambert) for ninja attacks and tended to use the Conan the Barbarian CD, especially Anvil of Krom for major climatic combats or important villain attacks. I can't recall any that my actual PCs would have had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer84 Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Re: Your character's theme song would be? Except she's a she, and there's the whole lady-lusting of that song and I believe she's been known to go with guys - now maybe she's bi, lemming's never really said, so maybe that'd work. quick edit - actually now I recall the song has a number of passages clearly denoting the character to be a guy, so probably wouldn't work Kitten's Got Claws, by Whitesnake?

Enforcer84 Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Re: Your character's theme song would be? mantis would use either Kung Fu Fighting, or You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet from BTO, but only for the chorus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st barbara Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Re: Your character's theme song would be? 'St Barbara's" theme song ! Hmm I can think of several that appeal from Rogers and Hammersteins "I'm Just A Girl Who Can't Say No !", Wagner's "The Ride of the Valkyries", Nancy Sinatra's "Lightning's Girl" , Something by Suzi Quatro "48Crash", "Devil Gate Drive", etc to INXS' "Suicide Blonde" ! If she were in an introspective mood she might even pick Barry McGuire's "The Sins Of A Family". It is however easy to imagine "St B" flying into action with most of these songs playing in the background ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csyphrett Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Re: Your character's theme song would be? Bao Shen would probably have Headstrong by Trapped. Beetle Bot would go with Mr. Roboto by Styx. I'll have to think about Pusher. Nothing comes to mind. CES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assault Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Re: Your character's theme song would be? Sadly, Assault's theme song would involve very loud guitars. I'm not quite sure if it would be 70s Heavy Metal or Punk. Actually, Punk sounds good. Something loud, fast and associated with gratuitous random violence. Like Assault.
