Re: Your character's theme song would be?

 

Thread necromancy must be Bubba's primary hobby...

 

Vigilwould either be 'Paint It Black' by the Rolling Stones or 'Du Hast' by Ramstein. Both fit him so well.

 

Siberian Tigerwould appreciate the humor of using 'Stray Cat Strut.':D Or for a serious choice, 'Primal Scream' by Motley Crue.

 

Redline would go with Motorhead's version of 'Cat Scratch Fever', 'cause he's got it pretty bad... :nonp:

 

For Dante it would be one of the the two songs that inspired me to make the character - Queen's 'The Show Must Go On.'

 

For any villian: 'I Want It All' by Queen.

Well, considering Deuce is in fact, the heroic identity of one James Bond, born in 1922 in Glencoe, Scotland...

 

I won't go there. It's too bloody obvious.

 

OK, anything by Dame Shirley Bassey.

 

Casey, my newest character, is a magically-animated 1969 Chevrolet Corvair. (Bad but unfounded Reputation- by 1965, the handling problems Ralph Nader had with Corvairs were in the past)

 

His song? "Born To Be Wild", by Steppenwolf.

Re: Your character's theme song would be?

 

Well, for almost all my characters, I tend to get "Ego is not a Dirty Word" by the Skyhooks at some point, but specifically...

 

Adam 218 - Last of a series of Bio-engineered Weapons. “I stand alone” by Godsmack.

Beastlord - "Trip Like I Do" by Filter and Crystal Method (Spawn OST).

Eagle’s Cry – Gadget using Martial Artist with a Kelvarite enhanced artificial voicebox. “Right Now” by Van Halen (love that guitar solo!).

Facet - "She's Got The Power" by Stan Bush. (So I'm a Sailor Moon fan.)

Gate - "Open Your Heart" by Crush 40 (Sonic Adventure #1).

Gee - "Look Up!" by Yellow Dancer (Robotech: New Generation).

Gigas - "Kick some @$$" by Stroke 9.

Grom - "I was made for loving you" by KISS.:rockon:

Hardcase - "Body Hammer" by Fear Factory ("As of now/I am a tool/Of severe impact/Hammer down/Cause and effect/And create a new world").

Leatherback - "The Thing I Hate” by Stabbing Westward.

Nightwalker - "Breakin' the Law" by Judas Priest

Platinum - "Little Less Conversation" by Elvis Presley & JXL.

Polecat - "One" by Filter (orig. John Farnham).

Professor Grey - "Liberi Fatali" by Nobuo Uematsu. (The Final Fantasy VIII opening theme).

Shiver – Empower by an accident involving cut-price cryogenics, he possesses ice powers and is radioactive, requiring him to wear a special suit of armour, lest he poison those around him. “Pain” by Four Star Mary.

Shadowfire - "Freak on a Leash" by Korn.

The Specter - "Land of Confusion" by Genesis.

Surge – Mutant Energy (Electricity) Projector. “Shock the Monkey” by Coal Chamber feat. Ozzy Osbourne (a cover of a Peter Gabriel track, I prefer this one).

The Swarmling - "The End is the Begining is the End" by the Smashing Pumpkins.

Tempest - Son of Thunder and Lightning, with the powers of both. “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC. (Not a commentary on his mother's parenting methods. :P)

Twilight – Former Ninja and now Martial Artist Extra-ordinaire. “Ultra” by KMFDM.

Whisper - "I Kill Children" by the Dead Kennedies.

Weldun - "Plowed" by Sponge.

 

Obviously, I'm not currently playing all of these at the moment.

Amethyst: "Pax Deorum" by Enya - She's a member of a mystic order that has been protecting the planet for thousands of years. The song has just the right mysterious and monastic feel for her.

 

ColdFire: "Cold as Ice" by Foreigner - Pretty self-explanatory. Rush's "Cold Fire" got some consideration, too.

 

Desperado: "Desperado" by Linda Ronstadt. The song title was pretty obvious; the artist less so. Why not the Eagles' version? Well, if it comes down to a choice between five ugly guys and one pretty girl, that's no choice at all.

 

Fang: "Bad Moon Rising" by Credence Clearwater Revival - He's a reluctant werewolf.

 

Jack Diamond: "Stranger In Town" by Toto - 'How can a man who's a criminal be a hero to the kids?' Diamond has a reputation for the use of excessive force with criminals. It's not entirely accurate, but it's proven too useful for him to bother changing.

 

Magnetite: "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves - She's a happy, upbeat person. She also used to be a gymnast, and this was a song she'd often use for routines.

 

Morningstar: "It's My Life" by No Doubt - After losing her family, spending a year as a guest of the state, and fighting anger and clinical depression, she's decided it's time to take her life back.

 

Onyx: "Stop the Rock" by Apollo 440 - Can't stop the rock!

 

Pariah: "Sole Survivor" by Asia - He was kicked out of a secret mystical society and left for dead. Then he gained superpowers and became a hero.

 

Thunderstrike: "Shock the Monkey" by Peter Gabriel - He acquired this as his theme song after a fight with Professor Muerte several years ago.

 

Wild Card: "Luck Be a Lady Tonight" from Guys and Dolls - What can I say? Things just work out for him.

A long-running Mechwarrior campaign where the three player characters were Inner Sphere mercs with "ties" to the Clans...so we picked out Songs of Remembrance for our characters pretty early on ;-)

Re: Your character's theme song would be?

 

Time for an updated (I posted way back in the beginnings of the thread years ago).

 

Black Cat - Black Cat - Janet Jackson - Mostly title. The character Pre-dates the song.

 

Ballistic - Demolition Man - the Mannfred Mann Version. He tends to cause a fair amount property damage.

 

Sift - I put a spell on You - Screaming Jay Hawkins. She's a supermage. Alternately "My Boyfriend's back - Shirelles". She is dating the Sorcerer Supreme (who is young in this campaign).

Terminal Velocity - Runner - Mannfred Mann again.

 

Smokeater - Two of 'em. Burning for You - Blue Oyster Cult, Fight Fire with Fire - Kansas

 

Meeb - It's not Easy being Green - Kermit the frog.

Angelfire - She's a rock star first, super second. Her theme song would be one she wrote. :)

For Centurion it would be the theme from Superman (surprised no one else has mentioned it).

Nighthawk's would be the theme from Batman: TAS.

Blademaster's would be Queen's Princes of the Universe (what else for an immortal).

Patriot's would be the Raider's March from Raiders of the Lost Ark during his Pulp period and the theme from Where Eagles Dare afterward.

Was asked to post this for someone without a computer (no, she's not a luddite, she just can't afford one right now)

Disarray - a female, very beautiful & powerful mentalist - "Unforgetable" by Nat King Cole. Hard to forget her attractiveness, but also ironic, as her mind control is so strong that often the victim forgets they were controlled. (She's sort of a one trick pony. one command - "be confused." - which does not always end up in desired results.)
