Re: What's your theme song?

by Rory Thu Oct 03, 2013 4:16 pm

Current theme for Ekai is "Pub" from FFT.
Here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VI4U7u_cSs
It's got a quirky melody, plus that quirky instrument, I wanna say...bassoon? And it alternates between perky and aloof, an odd combination, which is what you recognize when see someone behaving friendly, though remaining obvious in his or her attempt to remain anonymous, not bothering to hide the fact that he or she is not showing his or her face, creating a certain social dissonance--not an intimidating vibe(something to be afraid of) or a creepy/strange one(somewhere in the uncanny valley), but an odd vibe, at least as far as someone would understand given what they know and don't know about the person's preference for anonymity, especially because they have no hints to go on other than the anonymous person's cheerful behavior and harmless nature.

Upsetting new development: links cannot be color-coded. Shame on you, forumotion, shame on you.

This for the current char methinks.

For my "Superhero" character...

This is the current Javan's theme plus his possible early dragoon levels (that's the only link I found of it)

This would be Galanis' theme

@Gwydo
Well no, Zeiss' theme is from Berserk Golden Arc III, which is the third movie in a movie series adaptation of the anime series.

Of the MANGA! It is an adaptation of the MANGA! *entering nerd rage*

I know! Golden Arc is a movie series adaptation of the anime series adaptation of the manga.

After considerable thought, and now that I have a character to add to this list, I think this is the theme that I feel would best suit Sorangath. Yes, the whole thing, a person isn't just one part after all. And please ignore the name of the theme, the Lich King connotations aren't related here.

Sorangath's Theme

God sometime I would love to make a Lawful Good Maglancer user with a focus on Intimidation, Diplomacy, Deception, Appraise, Acrobatics, Athletics, and some Stealth, just so I could use this as his theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXVCd3BD-nM
Actually, I'd want to play whatever L.A. Noire theme is most appropriate to the situation when he happens to be there.
To a Gnoll: "You're a former Stonehold citizen, you had opportunity, and a motive! You sure there's nothing else marinating in that thick skull of yours, Mister 'Wild Paw'? My partner would love to make you for this." Holtburg Noire. I can see it clearly.

More on the serious side(hard to follow that), DEKE'S THEME is Null Sheen from Shadowrun Returns. And yes, the whole track, just like Arch said about his character's theme.
Check. It. Out.

Cool themes all around - me like. I see we're going pretty serious so far.

Lie

You're lying, Third. You hate these themes. In fact, I think you took a trip to New York last night, broke into Arch's home, took his original music, wiped his copies and then, you butchered them. You cut a verse here, pasted it there, cut the tail end of an outro and tacked it on at the beginning of different track! Then, you burned them and uploaded their mutated remains online after nobody could recognize them! You're very proud of your "work" aren't you, Third?

by Kolson Fri Oct 11, 2013 2:38 am

Calm down chummer, don't want to piss your gm off before the party starts. He may decide to geek you with a wizworm right off and then where will you be? Making a new rook that's where. Nothing worse than a trip to the jabroni factory in the first session, yeah?

Don't say old GeronimoJoe never warned you, Rory.

by Rory Fri Oct 11, 2013 2:56 am

I'm just going hardcore on the reference, Kolson. Speaking of making new rooks, what new character are you working on?

And I just love the process of making a new character, I really do. It's very exciting for me.

by Kolson Fri Oct 11, 2013 3:53 am

Yeah, I like making new characters too. I'm still going back and forth on buying a mic/headphone & mic so I can play in the game. I really am torn about it.

If I do, I'm thinking of a human or half-elf bard.

The Bard:

Doubt
Are you going to tell me what you liked about them, or am I gonna have to knock it and the air out of you?

Truth
Do you know anyone who might hate these themes?

by Zeiss Tue Dec 03, 2013 10:22 am

So, after Kolson gave me a little summary of what happened in Marblebush, I tried to find a song that could represent Zeiss' mind at this moment, after discovering everything that happened (the discovery of that goblin woman being the worse).

There, that's Zeiss' mind. Especially the first two minutes. Now, I need to see some cute cats or something. I wasn't even there for the end of the session, but I don't think I'll be able to sleep if I don't clear my mind first.

by K Tue Dec 03, 2013 12:54 pm

I'll see your mental state, and raise you mine.

Stop playing Griffith to my Guts, dammit.

by Rory Tue Dec 03, 2013 3:59 pm

Well, since I really like Alan Wake...and I was drunk...and I really like Alan Wake, this is what I think would be appropriate for Rory!

Imagine this: he's getting back with his alcohol, and cut to the rest of the group, who's just seen what's out there. Rory walks in, and the music is now at 26 seconds in, when they're reacting(verbally or silently) to his ignorance/confusion. Then, imagine at 50 seconds in, he's opening the door, and the cinematic view of the outside is cut off by his silhouette in the doorway. Then, at 56 seconds, the view cuts to his face, which is emotionless shock. 1 minute and 3 seconds in, cuts a little closer to his eyes. Then, at 1 minute and 7 seconds, cut back to the previous view of his face, then zoom out a little in a rotation to over-the-shoulder, and a view of the crater can be seen, and the view fully reaches and stops directly over his shoulder with a perfect view of the crater at 1 minute and 18 seconds.

Cinematics are over now, and Rory's just standing there, steadying himself(cuz he's still kinda drunk) until the music ends, then he runs back inside.
And if we're talking mental states, Rory's won't have music until the party is off to fight something he can blame for this, and it's within visual range and we're about to roll Initiative.

by Archengeia Tue Dec 03, 2013 4:02 pm

I'd have to upload the song I had in mind, for it's one of my own Variances.

Also ARGH. I was almost done writing up the summary when I lost the post.

by Zeiss Tue Dec 03, 2013 7:07 pm

I like your songs guys. They fit the event.

Though the reason why I chose this song instead is simple. Arch talked once about a piece of music in Earthbound (I think) which played in a strange village. The music wasn't good at all, but it fitted the ambience perfectly for it was really chaotic.

What I chose isn't the best track in the Berserk soundtrack. But it fits Zeiss' mental state.

by Snarg of Wildpaw Wed Dec 04, 2013 1:15 am

Hmmmm, maybe this at the moment and for an upcoming event.

by Gwydo Wed Dec 18, 2013 9:18 pm

I couldn't think of a better place to put this, so here it shall be...
I realized something this morning and wanted to share.
What does it say about me when my playlist (unconsciously placed in this order mind you) has the following songs:
Europe - The Final Countdown
Ozzy Osbourne - Bark at the Moon
Andre Fratto & Leah Siegel - Theme from "Haven"
Animotion - Obsession
Sinnerman by Felix da Housecat feat. Nina Simone
Metisse - Boom Boom Ba
Molly Hatchet - Flirtin' With Disaster
Spiderbait - Ghost Riders in the Sky
The Heavy - Short Change Hero
The White Buffalo - Oh Darling, What Have I Done
Golden Earring - Twilight Zone
Blue Oyster Cult - (Don't Fear) The Reaper

by Archengeia Wed Dec 18, 2013 10:26 pm

I know I'm weird for liking video game music but what gets to me sometimes is when a particular song is just flat stuck in my head (good example: The Dark World Forest/Mountain theme from Link to the Past). So uh THIS has been in my head for the past 2 weeks solid. Keeps making me want to replay the game.

by Rory Wed Dec 18, 2013 11:23 pm

I still like listening to "Glitz Pit".
