When creating a character, do you normally think of a theme song for them? Any particular battle theme music? If so, post them in this thread with your character's summary/alignment.

Example:
Game - Pathfinder
Alignment - Chaotic Evil
Character Schtick - Intimidate based antipaladin; went into the middle of combat and used Dazzling Display + Signature Skill (Intimidate) to CC the enemies around her
Theme song - https://youtu.be/KQraIiI3S-c

It's the middle of the 21st century, after an economic collapse leaves much of the country in lawless state, similar to the wild west. Times are hard and my character's father has to work as a drug courier for a criminal gang in order to put food on the table. Shit goes bad on a deal and gunfire is exchanged after an inside man tries to help the buyer steal the drugs. Father is wounded but escapes and goes to ground, not knowing who to trust. Criminal gang thinks he is a turncoat as well and decides to execute his family in retribution. He's half a step ahead of them and is trying to get his family to safety when the hitmen show up. Everybody dies except my character, who is out scrounging for scrap with her friends.

When she learns what happened she flees town and earns enough money to survive giving tug jobs in the backroom of a bar. She knifes a guy when he isn't satisfied with a tug job and tries to force himself on her. She's beaten for the offense, but the boss is impressed with her ability to handle herself and to take punishment. He ends up using her in various criminal operations. At first it's non-confrontational stuff, but by the time she's twenty, she's a full blown enforcer.

She dedicates as much of her free time as possible to becoming as deadly as possible. Physically speaking, she's nothing special, but her determination is 11 on a 10-scale, and once she puts her mind to something, she will not stop until she's achieved her goal. Her desire for revenge carries her through the hard times, and after a few more years, she decides she's ready to go, but the boss refuses to let her leave, and has her beaten again when she refuses to cooperate. So once she's sufficiently recuperated, she walks into his office and lets him have both barrels of her shotgun. She shoots her way out in the ensuing chaos, and she escapes town, joining travelers going to the city where her family was killed (the party).

Is DM(N)PC close enough?
My players are mech pilots working for a PMC. This guy is their boss. He's an old man in a profession where practitioners rarely live to see 35. Regardless, he's like your crazy uncle with terrible fashion sense who only wants to have a good time.
Schtick - Experimental modification that basically gives him a harpoon cannon that can reel mechs in backed up by strong close-range weapons

Not the exact version I use, but close enough. The DM has 3:31 is cued up for whenever he does something badass.

We're not even playing a western game, but the ridiculousness of it makes it work really well.

Game is Pathfinder
Alignment is Chaotic Good
Character is a Bard in a game where the gm placed us in a far off frontier town filled to the brim with depressed and dying people after the kingdom supporting us suddenly cut off supplies. All the other PCs have really depressing lives so of course I decided to play a plucky bard with who always tries to keep everyone spirits up.
Theme song is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5qV-TVemmI

Not exactly on topic, but this is the theme our GM plays when we're fighting our anti-villain

Nigga it's unranked pub games only right now, care about team composition in ranked mode
>>
>>47661986

That's why I praise the lord that I ended up really liking Lucio, I never have a problem when it comes to team balance vs me picking my favorite character. I just pick based roller skate nigga, zoom around the map at mach 5 and grind on walls, rack up crazy kill streaks, heal all my boys, and generally put the team on my back.
>>
I don't think any of the characters in my group have theme songs right now. My GM has an individual antagonist suited for each of us in addition to the main plot, and all of those have themes, though. I'll link this and ask him to post.

I had theme for my first character, though; a CG Incanter/Stalker (Brutal Slayer archetype)/Bladecaster who had a serious hate-on for a militaristic anti-magic city-state in the setting and nobility in general. He did eventually lighten up and stop being an unreasonable brooding arsehole (first character. Went better than it sounds), but this was his theme until then

I'm like 80% sure they knew what they were doing when they made Pharah and her connection to Farah.

Which means Pharah is probably a size queen that loves large insertions and butt stuff.

>Game - D20 Spies

>Character Schtick - Taking the position of leader of the group Mattew Chappel often mediates between the most extreme options. Coming from a mysterious agency in Britian known only as "the red tie agency", within only a few months he'd set up a safehouse in the vault of an old American bank. Using it as a front they began trading as "South Western Finance". It is unknown why Chappel was lent over to the new agency, however it slowly becomes known that he has PTSD from a botched mission for red tie that saw his entire unit killed save for him (see song). He may appear a doughboy more comfortable sorting confrontations from his smartphone, but he actually has near savant knowledge of weapons and carries, of all things, a knuckle duster, in his right pocket. His weapon of choice is a colt defender .45.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDTQQWSmo8s

Description
This elf has a cocky and smug air about him, he holds himself with the confidence of a health and fit twenty-something. He has a hard-bitten face with a sly smirk often curling his lips. His dark hair is short and cut in a typical military high and tight with a sharp arrow-head chin strip under his bottom lip. He is typically built for his kind, a little lean but with enough muscle to not look lanky or skinny. He has a few tattoos, a line of script on his left arm and a few hidden by common clothing which is often a mix of military surplus and cowboy gear.

Known History
Born and raised in Tir Na Nog, The Youthful Land in the common tongue, with a strong streak of Irish nationalism running through him and his family. Silas has worked almost exclusively for the Tir Na Nog famlies with the most recent job having sent to do a little work in Boston before moving on for a job in escorting some cargo across U.C.A.S in part of a convoy. From there he lingered around and gradually moved towards Athabaskan territory, doing the odd job and easy run for money.

Chaotic Neutral - (spoiler) Formerly Evil
Old drunken beggar that carries a strange cloth roll, suggested to contain a weapon. He can be found in taverns, or outside in the dirt depending on his depressed financial situation. He's beset by bounty hunters and thugs all claiming some vendetta. He was generally humorous and did good for common people and refugees. His money is either given out or used to buy alcohol.

Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Esfw2UQMdks

Later when the DM revealed some of his troubled past and the legacy of crimes during warfare we changed the tone to:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9DDdNisv2U

He ended up getting struck down Obi Wan style by a high level human fighter. It was in this battle that he drew his sword for the first time - which was essentially a vorpal sword shaped like a Dao.

Probably one of the best role plays that I worked out in writing with the DM.
