I have this terrible habit of putting music to characters and I figured why not make a discussion around character music. So here it is! You can share music here that make you think of your character or inspire ideas about them! I don't know if this has been done before, so link me if it has.

So yeah, that's about it! Go ahead and share down below!

Mz. Hyde has different music for different stages of her life. I want to post all the songs, but I'm afraid it'll give away future events!

I guess I can share mine now since I started this discussion >w>;;

So for Utterson, I always liked Why by Lily Allen and Never Wanted by Metronomy for him. Especially in his early stages, these songs really seemed to resonate with his character. He's always tries his best to be there for others and be happy, but he's got some really sadness in his core. I haven't really gotten to show off that side of him but I hope to in the future. I think I have more songs that resonate with him but I don't remember them off hand. I'll have to find my list again. I'll reply to this comment when I find it.

Malemi is fairly new, so I've been listening to his music more than Utterson's music recently. He's basically the majority of the Watsky- X infinity album, especially Pink Lemonade, Stick to Your Guns, Don't Be Nice, and Lovely Thing Suite: Conversations. Outside of Watsky, a lot of the new Gorillaz, William Ryan Fritch and DM Stith.

All these songs are for his story and potential situations so i just get frustrated like MMMMM I want to rp that but I haven't gotten that deep into his story hhhhnnnngggg...

I'm getting there though! And when we get there, I'll be one happy duck.

Aha! So i found Utterson's list of songs! I won't copy the whole thing here but here are the basics

Why by Lily Allen

Never Wanted by Metronomy

The Shrine/An Arguement by Fleet Foxes

The Plains/ Bitter Dancer by Fleet Foxes...

LOTS OF FLEET FOXES UMMMM

Float On by Modest Mouse

Dear Sister by Team Me

Oh Sister by Andrew Bird

And that's just off the top of the list. Those are all relevant to his personality overall and some of his future plot events. He got a lot of bittersweet songs on his list, so take that for what you will.

AH SHIT OK SO I totally forgot about Talking To Myself by Watsky for Malemi. It's honest to god his anthem. The lyrics especially capture his main motivation and the way he views the world.

(( *Kicks the 900 unfinished piano bits I have for different characters in the Society under the rug*

Funny you should mention that- I actually offered to do little themes for anyone who was interested ages ago. That was before school decided to drop kick me straight into existential dread. I got.. two bits of music done, I think? I did a waltz for Artemis, who's one of Doodle's characters, and I did a little theme for a lodger named Luna that I don't think is around much, if at all anymore.

That's not counting all the stuff I've done for Richard, but that's kind of irrelevant XD

I do have a playlist for Richard, which I'll leave the link to here! Warning: It's a very eclectic collection of music, much like the man himself :P

(( I have too many playlists because of my unpredictable music moods XD I think I have about 12 labelled some variant of "Chill", like 3 or 4 for drawing, and one for every character I'm actively roleplaying/writing/designing. That number's at roughly 45 the last time I checked. And don't even get me started on study music because that's a huge mess of lists XD ))

Gosh, how do you live with that many playlists?! That'd drive me insane @m@;; I just have one giant bookmark list and I just go through and find whatever I'm in the mood for. From there, its a bunch of youtube suggestions and maybe some soundcloud.

((Ok so I've got a few songs that sort of fit my characters (not really fully but mostly)

Gemma: Ruins by Ryder // In relation to her family, if you've read her backstory you'll get it, if not enjoy cool song

One Step Ahead from Aladdin // Umm.. Just gonna... *backs away*

Blue Jay: Blue by Eiffel 65 // I'm pretty sure this is just what plays in the back of his head 24/7

Edit: I'm Still Here (Jim's Theme) from Treasure Planet // HOLY BUCKETS I WAS JUST LETTING YOU TUBE PLAY IN THE BACKGROUND AND I FOUND THE SONG AND I'M FREAKING OUT. Okay I'm done but seriously this is amazing and I'm so happy right now.

I'm sure I'll find more but here's these!))

Mad world? I actually didn't know this version of this song existed! With that said, this version is a little too eighties for me personally. So this is maybe, kinda sorta, might be Griffinesque? Hmmm, I think I can see it!

Well, the Tears for Fears one is actually the original. Can you honestly think of any song that is particularly Griffinesque?

Avatar

The Fox  Dr. H. Griffin • 2 years ago

Honestly no, not really. But then again, he's such a weird character. He's not really a clear cut trope or anything so he's harder to nail down. Maybe Watsky- Hey Asshole? That's one that comes to mind but It doesn't really catch his sass all that well.

Forgive me the long playlist; I've had this character over a decade. Anyway, here goes! (Songs are in roughly chronological order, corresponding to stages/events in Lewis's life.)

I'm Gonna Be by The Proclaimers

Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls

The Kill by Thirty Seconds to Mars

Emperor's New Clothes by Panic! At the Disco

I'll Be Good by James Young

O Fortuna from Carmina Burana

This Is Gospel by Panic! At the Disco

Alibi by Thirty Seconds to Mars

One Foot in Front of the Other by Emilie Autumn

Behind Blue Eyes by Limp Bizkit

Light 'Em Up by Fall Out Boy

And that's the end of the chronological bit.

As a bonus, have these situation-specific songs!

Trying to help/teach/talk to Richard, Helen, Hela, Malemi, or whoever else:

Fairly Local by Twenty One Pilots

Drunken Lewis in a bar brawl:

Tubthumping by Chumbawamba

Oh well, if you insist! Most of these characters are going to be background/secondary characters but maybe they'll end up being full on rp characters, who knows! I'll do two songs per character to best show their current form.

So first up is Kei cause she might be a future character. I just love her so much Aaaaah *w* I cannot put my feelings into words, have some songs instead! owo

https://youtu.be/TqrEQC89Lhk

https://youtu.be/EKhIt7ZLZao

( I love her so much gosh she's such a good CHARACTER AAAAHHHHHH )

Errack, why are you so hard to find songs for? WWHHHHYYYYY Well I tried. Errack is only just settling into a permanent form so he's a bit more elusive with music.

https://youtu.be/E5PRi3oW-8c

https://youtu.be/E5PRi3oW-8c

Orin has a lot of really hard hitting music, like I have had no trouble finding music for this guy, lemme tell you.

SIAMES - The Wolf from Rudo Company on Vimeo.

https://youtu.be/Qi7KDOAj4Xo

( I'm going to be honest, but The Wolf may have really brought his character into his current form. He was good before but now he's EXCELLENT. )

And here's one for a special character. I won't give her away yet, so have one song for now.

https://youtu.be/RheJW2nhkb8

That's it for now! Enfield doesn't really have any music yet. So Yeah, that's just about it. I do have other characters planned but they don't have any songs yet, so I can't really share much for them omo;;

Just...an unfortunate situation, y'know?))
