If you could sum up your character in one piece of music - (can be anything) - what would it be?
- title
- artist
- linky - (assuming we're allowed to do that)...
- and why

4'33"" by John Cage.

Do you know I've never heard the original?

I guess I could sum up my character with any piece of Jeremy Soule′s music

My current character is female Bosmer adventurer/vampire hunter named Arya. As for describing her with music, here's what I have:

- http://youtu.be/0VF0BlXP-0Y?t=7m12s (specifically, from 7:13 to 7:44)
-Artist: Nightwish
- Why? Because she's Epic.

Ah! Why didn′t I think of Ghost Love Score???

Considering how talkative our avatar's tend to be this is a good choice. One can of course cut down on total playing time by ignoring the exposition repeat.

-Decrepit-

A work that's more demanding for some performers than for others. Not going to mention any names, though. (Checking to see if my wife is looking over my shoulder...)

I gad the remix of this, it was awesome.

This was the inspiration behind Niamh originally...
Made Out Of Babies - "Stranger" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM92ExunpqY

"Gift of Life" by Thomas Bergersen

There is just something about this piece that just fits my old wanderer character. His life experience, the vast landscapes he has journeyed through and his overall peacefulness.

Damn, this is good! Love the thick guitar sound. Reminds me a bit of Doom Metal.

It's awesome isn't it?
Julie Christmas has an amazing voice. Check out the live version of this as well for added Ooooomph...!

Wir Masquerade by Noir Fleurir. I dunno why exactly this would fit Parthenia perfectly, but it was the first song to pop into my mind thinking about this question.

Ahh, http://youtu.be/lBjXXzqXjIQ


Now that is Epic!


Back in my old P&P RPG days, I used to always think of theme music for my characters and npcs. Often one character might have several songs, that reflect different elements of who they are.

Teresa of the Faint Smile for example, has several.
http://youtu.be/cGs8vtjDxxY is about the Emperor, who changed her life forever by teaching her that she could be more than who she was.

http://youtu.be/nie4kmefOlo is all about her relationship with her girlfriend, Tadrose Helas.

Same with http://youtu.be/o7GvY6O9J4w

And finally of course, because she is a wood elf witch, who is only truly at home in the wilderness http://youtu.be/wU9dgNdzkHU

Because you posted this I just lost an hour of my life watching Nightwish on YouTube, I hate you!

My Contribution:

-Because it's a really good song, what more reason do you need?

I'm sort of surprised so many here seem to know of John Cage 4'33". I can close my eyes and envision you all sitting in front of your computer monitor (or TV for console folk) and humming the melody while traipsing about Cyrodiil.

But seriously, I can't associate my avatar with any one piece of music. Maybe it's due to the kind of music I listen too... Mozart, Beethoven, Mahler, Richard Strauss and so on.

That said, there has been a time or two where I associate a particular situation with a specific piece of music. One that comes to mind is when my decrepit avatar and Vilja travel the roads during a frenetic thunder storm. Every now and then when this occurs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-7fHOXPln4 comes to mind and won't go away. (The part that fits best begins at roughly the three minute mark...but it's all good.)

-Decrepit-

And here I am, knowing nothing about what it is. As far as I′m concerned, it could be a Bible verse

Thou shall not stop playing Oblivion

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUJagb7hL0E

Ok, but... what the... Wasn′t this thread about music and not complete silence? I can also stand silent in front of an orchestra for several minutes but I doubt anyone will applaud me!

Gosh, that’s a tough one since Buffy is so musical. Just one, huh? Okay -

- title: I Hope You Dance
- artist: Lee Ann Womack
- linky: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0sKRpejEwQ&feature=related
- and why: Because her mother often sang it when Buffy was just a little elf, and the song has helped her make some of the choices in her life.

It was indeed about what piece of music defines your character.
I love the John Cage piece, it's about the listener in part but I always think of it as a collection of the things in music that AREN'T played, maybe the same as all the things you never say. Whether it was added into the thread as a joke or not it seems totally valid.
I hope it'll be an interesting thread, we shall see...

One song pops instantly to mind for Jerric.

Simple Man
Lynyrd Skynyrd

It's all he wanted.



Something different, this version of the Flower Duet always makes me think of Abiene.

Not so much a theme song, but I think the blend of styles suits her.

Well this will be fun.

When dealing with the enemy:
Title - When you start the war, fight with arrows, spears, & sword!
Artist - Yasushi Ishii
Link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cby15ECQw4w&feature=related
Why - Hell oh' high & mighty when doing my job.

When being.. Casual:
Title - Raid OST
Artist - Yasushi Ishii
Link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOD2DVq1r60&feature=related
Why - Casual is pretty normal.

For my character it would be :
Title-Prayer For The Dying
Artist-Seal
