All right, I've always wondered how this would go on Dumpshock.....let's match character concepts to songs, shall we? Rules are quite simple: each poster who wishes to try this little exercise just answers what concept they think of with the song posted in the immediately previous post, then posts a new youtube link with a song, and the name of the song.
Let's have some fun, shall we?
For (potentially difficult) starters: Queen and David Bowie's Under Pressure

Edit: Fixed the link
Summerstorm
Hm... funny idea. Ok, i will bite. (First, your link is messed up, but no problem).

For "Under Pressure":

Richard Stansfield was a normal corporate guy. Even mid-high management. Family: Wife and two children. But after some corporate struggles and mismanagement his corp got bought and broken up by an AAA. Most of his wealth was invested in the crashed business ventures. That is when the sickness struck. Both of his children manifested, now in their puberty, some rare kind of genetical desease. Blamed by his wife, unable to pay for genetic procedures he asked friends to help. But no one was willing to part with some money to help their "dear friend".

Now he has no other choice than to try get money the quick and dirty way... but he has no implants, skills or talents for the streets. Also he still hold a high moral standard and clings frantically on a positive, optimistic view of "tomorrow it might all be better."

Type: High Edge, high mental, mundane, desperate. Broken... psychological in a time of turmoil, has trouble holding on to family.

Ok... next song:
Crazyman by Lake of Tears:

Sounds fun I'm in.
For : "Crazyman";
Micheal Fraizer "Slowburn", Ex-AresFirewatch team, his unit was trapped was left behind in the fallback from the "ceramic blast" as hunderdeds of insect spirt's swarmed out from the destroyed hive, alone and overwhelemed his team was swarmed, 39 hours later they were recovered coverd in blood half way across town holding out in an apartment building. Tactical assesment showed that over half the team had failed to escape the chaos, from the soliders accounts (Wich varied slightly) Ares was able to piece together that the team had flowed out in the chaos, killing everything that got in their way, many of the people they killed in their mad rush to safty are beleived to have not been infected. Though they remained in radio contact throughout the ordeal in the chaos and screams they were too disoriented to communicait efficiently.
16 years later, Micheal has fallen far from his roots as a Ares Firewatch, diagnosed with PDS he was discharged for metal care after the chicago incident. After several years in and out of failed therpay, both magical and, technological he droped of the grid, addicted to killing he eventualy found himself on the blood stained arena's of the underground Aztalan fight pits. Quickly falling into a augmentation addiction and a near psychopathic "survival of the fitist mentality". Now, unable to sustain himself and his addiction through the controlled pit fights, already outlawed from several because of the near bezerk rampages that he falls into, sometimes injuring spectators, he has taken to the shadows. A battered old vetern on the breank of insanity he know kills for the corperations and anyone who will pay, ripping anything that gets in his path apart, not unlike his mad rush through chicago.
Type: Low essence, heavily cybered a mix of older Ares spec ops ware and the newer corner cutting shadow clenic ware, Flashback's quality, kamikaze addiction.
Allright, next song is
Sabotage by the Beastie Boys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4PN7Xbexq4
Bonus points for "Money" by Pink Floyd
Saint Sithney
Tech wiz prodigy, Jun Ishimoto, had been trained and nurtured by Cross Applied Technologies for the vast majority of his life, and, while he appreciated the resources that CATCo afforded him, his true loyalty was only to his work. That all ended with the crash of '64. During the chaos, the destabilized Cross was pummeled from all sides by various other AAA corps, buying up whatever they could and stealing the rest. It was a feeding frenzy, and Jun's life work was made casualty. Unable to pick up what was left of his research, or to forgive those responsible for its loss, he set out into the shadows in a campaign of revenge and technological terror. Nothing would stand in the way of him recovering his stolen work or destroying those who destroyed it. He would employ every dirty trick and every means of subterfuge at his disposal. He runs the shadows for money and the opportunity to get into secured AAA buildings, where he obsessively follows his own mission objectives over those of his team mates, and always, yes always, leaves behind a tailored ruin package to trash the corp's computer systems.

Type: Mini/microbot focused Hacker/Rigger with supreme logic, moderate social skills, Bad Luck and Signature.

Next song:
1) Easy: Tomahawk - Sir, Yes Sir
2) Moderate: Tomahawk - Sweet Smell of Success
3) Advanced: Tomahawk - Red Fox
