So I've been playing my new favorite mud for a while now, and have wondered what theme music people think captures their character's personality and outlook. I'm a musician myself so I'm always so curious what people come up with. So, lay it on me. I'll go first. This is for my character Chicahua the Huecatn. This is from a chikasaw composer!

That's a great track, Ezrynon.

I can't find the old one I used to use for Bryce, so for now this one'll work nicely: https://youtu.be/_G_vo6w6Tvw?list=OLAK5 ... S2EDTVVFIA

This might just be my recent obsession with guilty gear, but this one always makes me think of Crispus. Partly because it’s heavy in the best way. Partly because the lyrics are just a perfect personification of his struggle.

This one makes me think of Indigo.

I don't necessarily have "Theme Songs" so much as songs that I listen to while trying to get into the mindset of characters I play, so I'll just include some of those, maybe...

Zahra (Nuumic Bard) --

• Take Me To Church - Hozier
• Fxck You - Silent Child
• Therefore I Am - Billie Eilish
• Goddess - Xana

Isra al-Rhunskar (Rhuidim Arcanist?) --

• I Am The Fire - Ghost Monroe

Skjalfridr of Clan Rullendbolg (Giganti Marauder) --

• Svanrand - Heilung
• Norupo - Heilung
• Saekonungar - Skald

A Physicker --

• Wolf In Sheep's Clothing - Set It Off
• Angry Too - Lola Blanc

Savlonic - Epoch (The Living Tombstone's Remix)

A song shared with me some time ago. I find the following lyrics particularly insightful:

Can't you see?
We are free
To choose our destiny
And be the way we want to be

This expresses a hope and idea that is meaningful to both myself and my character: That upon introspection we might realize we are not the person we want to be, but that want itself is an opening for us to make changes and to better ourselves. To be the way or the person we want to be, rather than the person we are now. That we have made mistakes, suffered failures, and are not there yet should not deter us.

Dylan's theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=astDDt5OUYM

When I first started playing I was listening to a lot of Lee Scratch Perry. Soul Fire is Tulpa walking around Shadgard unselfconsciously.

Farm and day-to-day life: Kali Uchis - After the Storm

Encountering a mountain summit: Caterina Barbieri - Fantas

Sometimes Tulpa is running around with Vitality and another energy-related druidic ability up. Again channeling the unselfconscious stuff, slightly cheesy but I think perhaps it sounds like this: Cajmere - Brighter Days. It helps when I'm lacking energy myself!

I waited a long, long time to do this, mostly because I wanted a song that seemed to fit Maya really well. I think she's fleshed out enough now that I'm willing to give this out.

Avenged sevenfold - Almost Easy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi_GN1pHCVc

I don't know if I'd necessarily call this 'Theme music,' but it certainly struck a cord in me today and I was just like...this kind of fits Maya's unpredictable, sort of repetitious insanity where she makes the same mistakes and then feels bad about it and mopes. By the way...I don't intend to make her insanity anoying, I'm sure it is to some of her close friends that she dumps her issues onto, and for that I'm sorry.

She has been starting to cool down from her bouts of craziness lately, and to a few close friends of hers I am eternally grateful. Keep on playing your wonderful characters and making my bundle of cliches look prettier than it is for it!

P.S. There is, of course, the obligatory:

Avenged Sevenfold - Girl I know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7mZRhIkpV4, but like I said, cooling down, and all that.
