I'm a little shocked that Queensryche hasn't had a mention.

Theme tunes for characters in my campaign: Nitro - Human Decker / Samurai. Extremely hyper character with non-stop energy and the patience of a mayfly: A Little Less Conversation (Little More Action Please) by JXL & Elvis. K.G. (Human Frog Shaman). Well padded Fixer with quickened Levitate and a natty line in check waistcoasts. Think Baron Harkonnen meets Terry Thomas. All Stand Together by Paul McCartney and the Frog Chorus (sorry - it's just that Bom-Bom-BOM, ah-a-ah! that fits so well). OMFWOG a.k.a Often Mistaken For Wrath of God, Troll demolitions expert and general show stopper. Bombtrack by Rage Against the Machine or Snap Your Fingers Snap Your Neck by Prong Any given go gang you care to name: Moto Psycho by Megadeth More if I think of them. |

Honestly, the only character of mine who has something akin to a theme song is Franklin Frakes, bastard son of Julius Frakes. His would be 'School of Hard Knocks' by POD, which somewhat inspired me while creating the character.

....you mean Ride of the Valkyries from Die Walkure by Richard Wagner I presume. Actually one of the more appropriate classical themes for Shadowrun. There is also a kick butt version recorded on the massive organ at St John the Divine Cathedral in New York. |

India's theme song is Juliet's Ride the pain. SHe is a an urban mage, voodoo style with a Russian twist. I will list the lyrics and I hope you can gras the character's view on life. It is rather harsh.
Repeat and rewind I'm not going there this time If I could make a plan I wouldn't go there again Hold it up, let it out Life won't ever stop it's time Give it up, fight it out Leave the white flag behind Ride the pain into the pleasure (Pain, pleasure) Don't stop now with the pressure (Pleasure, pain) Can't explain with an answer (Pain, pleasure) Ride the pain into the pleasure (Pleasure, pain) Catch me if you can Chase me if you'd like I don't know about you But I'm a do or die I haven't seen or heard enough 'til I've looked under every rock (x3) Ride the pain into the pleasure (Pain, pleasure) Don't stop now with the pressure (Pleasure, pain) Can't explain with an answer (Ride the pain into the pleasure) Ride the pain into the pleasure (Ride the pain) Into the pleasure You'll find your answer Into the pleasure You'll find your answer Into the pleasure You'll find your answer Into the pleasure I haven't seen or heard enough 'til I've looked under every rock (x3) Ride the pain into the pleasure (Pain, pleasure) Don't stop now with the pressure (Pleasure, pain) Can't explain with an answer (Pain, pleasure) Ride the pain into the pleasure (Ride the pain into the pleasure) Can't explain with an answer (Ride the pain into the pleasure) Can't explain with an answer (Into the pleasure) |

I'm sensing an overall theme here.

Finally! The only reason I haven't is because I imagine everyone's tired of me mentioning them in every other music thread. |

Oh. I meant to the lyrics you posted. Not the thread, although one might sum it up as fairly uninspiring.

Well, if you are going to go that far, why don't you go further? You sum it up as unispiring and I think that is odd, comepared to the pop corn songs some people chose. |

James isn't insulting you specifically, Cynic: he's insulting us all, just the way he always does.
It's all because he's a big old Grumpy Gus! Aw, he needs a nap, doesn't him? :P EDIT: Read James' post again, and you will see that the "it" in "one might sum it up" refers to the thread as a whole. I hope that's clear. |

I encourage you to post it! Or, if you really think people would be annoyed, PM me? >:3 You can get some interesting character concepts from individual songs or the feel of entire albums, so far as I'm concerned. |

For Al in Extradition, the song was actually the inspiration for the character - Tom Waits "Goin' Out West" from Bone Machine.
For Asp from Kingmaker, Billie Holiday and the Ray Ellis Orchestra's Lady in Satin, the whole album. |

I too like napalm in the morning. What about some professional murder music? a little techno metal fits the era nicely. would recommend slow by professional murder music. |
