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 - youtu.be

I wish
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).
My character was pretty much based off the first verse of this song.
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

so glad they picked up on how stupid it was after two combats
Why is everybody's music terrible?
Never ask for music from Veeky Forums.
>AC/DC
>Terrible
bruh?
AC/DC aren't terrible, but they're way overrated, and that's not even a very good song of theirs.
Whats your idea of "a good song of theirs"?

I don't know... Jailbreak, It's a Long Way to the Top, TNT...
Pure evil
why does every artist forget that Pharah has robot limbs
Because nobody wants a repeat of the XCOM mech units.
I don't believe you.
young paladin reformed from a life of crime
Pharah has robot limbs? I wasn't made aware of this.
I know Symmetra has a robot arm...
look at her knee and elbow joints
I assumed that was just part of the armour.
I guess it answers , they didn't forget, they just flat-out didn't realize.
Happened to have saved this yesterday.
Now I know.
Finally, a game that caters to my quadruple amputee fetish!

Pharah a shit.

Lawful good Gunslinger/Sherif type character

Character theme: youtube.com
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.

Nuff said
Nice
This sounds amazing
Better than I was expecting
Gay as fuck
Ayyyy
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 youtube.com
Not exactly on topic, but this is the theme our GM plays when we're fighting our anti-villain
>tfw I just want to play Pharah for a little while, but keep landing in teams full of codbabbies who think "support characters are for other people", leaving me to play Lucio or Mercy and desperately try to keep two Hanzos, a Widowmaker, a Reaper, and a Tracer alive while they scatter across the map and ignore the objective
Nigga it's unranked pub games only right now, care about team composition in ranked mode
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
Every time I look at Pharah I'm reminded of Farah from that other game and the character suddenly becomes that much lewder.
She even has distinctive eye make up.
Long lost descendant maybe?
Can someone suggest a theme song for my Character?
She's a summoner who summons via painting. Follows East Asian appearance. Pic related
Zenyatta = best yatta
For general exposition or battle?
Both please.
In Battle she does a lot of dodging.
In general I can only describe her as good stupid
>Farah
Which game?
Did this a little while ago for my Only War group. We've got:

If that's too somber, try something like this

Too recognizable? Maybe this then

Not as upbeat, but I don't really know the tone/personality of your game/character so who knows.
Here's some other random suggestions:

and for a less serious game/setting:
Legend of Queen Opala series
Cheers this is useful !
>Long lost descendant maybe?
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.

You couldn't even use one of the like dozen other good covers of that song? Are you some kind of mall goth?
Hah, I'll have to add that song to my Overwatch playlist now.
I recently wrote a Double Cross character that was inspired by what is now his character theme.

>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.

Thinks road safety and speed limits are things that only applies to other people. Has developed a bad habit of chewing a local bark during missions to calm his nerves.

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.
Super Warhawk.
I had to go with a giant revolver.

This was the tune my hard-boiled ex-Arbites sacrificed himself to in the campaign finale.
Pretty sure the devs said she didn't.
God I hope she's not a quad amputee. Then the porn of her is going to be nothing but quad amputee garbage that only sick fucks like like.
>Then the porn of her is going to be nothing but quad amputee garbage
>implying masturbating to fan-drawn porn of video game characters is normal regardless of subject matter
>implying it's abnormal to jack off to anything vaguely resembling a pretty woman.

Monk
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.

Later when the DM revealed some of his troubled past and the legacy of crimes during warfare we changed the tone to:
youtube.com
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.
the devs have outright said she isn't an amputee
