For Seamus I probably hear the 'O Fortuna' Movement from 'Carmina Burana' by Carl Orff when I'm off being heroic....
Heh. That's my DMing music when I'm on Abyss! O Fortuna is one of my favorites for marching demons upon the unsuspecting. I also tend to listen to a lot of Mozart's Requiem Mass, a little of Verdi's Dies Irae...

I figured out Y'lissana's song, too.

She's Always A Woman

by Billy Joel

She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes,
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
She only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child, but she's always a woman to me.

She can lead to love, she can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth, but she'll never believe
She'll take what you give her, as long as it's free
Yeah she steals like a thief, but she's always a woman to me.

Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind.

She'll promise you more than the garden of Eden,
Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best and the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself, 'cause she's always a woman to me.

She is frequently kind, and she is suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree
And the most she will do is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me.

After much thought I would have to say it's a toss between Iced Earth's Pure Evil or Travel the Stygian, followed closely by a few select classical peices (Dance Macbre, Ofortuna, various mozart peices), Iron Maiden's Flash of the Blade and The Duelists, and Malmstien's Viking.

Im also replacing my tavern music with the music from the origy scene in Conan.

I know it's alot, but the same song over and over again get's old.

First, a couple theme songs for Soleis because I couldn't resist: "For My Lady" by the Moody Blues, and "All You Need is Love" by the Beatles.

And now for Gildan:

His theme song: "September Song"

When I was a young man courting the girls
I played me a waiting game.
If a maid refused me with tossing curls, oh,
I let that old earth take a couple of whirls
While I plied her with tears in place of pearls
And as time came around she came my way
As time came around she came

But its a long, long while from May to December
And the days grow short when you reach September
And I have lost my teeth
and I'm walkin' a little lame
Hey honey I haven't got the time for any waiting game
And the days turn to gold as they grow few
September, November...

And these few golden days
I'd like to spend 'em with you
These golden days, I'd like to spend 'em with you
And the days dwindle down to a precious few
September, November...
And I'm not quite equipped for the waiting game
I have a little money, and I've had a little pain

And these few golden days, as the days grow so few
These golden days, I'd like to spend 'em with you
These precious golden days, I'd like to spend 'em with you
September song, September song
September song, September song

His battle song: "I Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty
 
Well I won’t back down, no I won’t back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won’t back down

Gonna stand my ground, won’t be turned around
And I’ll keep this world from draggin’ me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won’t back down

Hey baby, there ain’t no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won’t back down.

Well I know what’s right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin’ me around
But I’ll stand my ground and I won’t back down

Hey baby there ain’t no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won’t back down
No, I won’t back down

Sara - Darkness by Disturbed always comes to mind

I shouldn't speak for Psye, but Tris always brings to mind "I'll be" by Edwin McCain. Sappy, I know....

Birt, an alt I haven't played in a looong time, I'm not sure. But it would have to be something from Barney or Sesame Street. He wouldn't understand anything more complicated.

Alexis Dufresne Montjoie:

(1 ridiculous, 1 sublime; both appropriate)

SONG 1:
Dedicated Follower of Fashion:
(The Kinks)

They seek him here, they seek him there,
His clothes are loud, but never square.
It will make or break him so hes got to buy the best,
cause hes a dedicated follower of fashion.

And when he does his little rounds,
round the boutiques of london town,
Eagerly pursuing all the latest fads and trends,
cause hes a dedicated follower of fashion.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
He thinks he is a flower to be looked at,
And when he pulls his frilly nylon panties right up tight,
He feels a dedicated follower of fashion.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
Theres one thing that he loves and that is flattery.
One week hes in polka-dots, the next week he is in stripes.
cause hes a dedicated follower of fashion.

They seek him here, they seek him there,
In regent street and leicester square.
Everywhere the carnabetian army marches on,
Each one a dedicated follower of fashion.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
His world is built round discoteques and parties.
This pleasure-seeking individual always looks his best
cause hes a dedicated follower of fashion.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
He flits from shop to shop just like a butterfly.
In matters of the cloth he is as fickle as can be,
cause hes a dedicated follower of fashion.
Hes a dedicated follower of fashion.
Hes a dedicated follower of fashion.


SONG 2:
Building a Mystery:
(Sarah Mclachlan)

You come out at night
That's when the energy comes
And the dark side's light
And the vampires roam
You strut your rasta wear
And your suicide poem
And a cross from a faith that died
Before Jesus came
You're building a mystery

You live in a church
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
And you won't give up the search
For the ghosts in the halls
You wear sandals in the snow
And a smile that won't wash away
Can you look out the window
Without your shadow getting in the way?

You're so beautiful
With an edge and charm
but so careful
When I'm in your arms

Cause you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully

You woke up screaming aloud
A prayer from your secret god
You feed off our fears
And hold back your tears, oh
Give us a tantrum
And a know it all grin
Just when we need one
When the evening's thin

You're a beautiful
A beautiful f*cked up man
You're setting up your
Razor wire shrine

Cause you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully

Ooh you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully

Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully

You're building a mystery

I havnt picked a song for Jenai but there are songs I like to listen to when I am playing that put me in the mood to rp her: Sweet dreams are made of theese... By the eurythmics. And Hit me with your best shot...Pat Benetar :D . My character Rayne ((blackguard)) has two songs: Pain is so close to pleasure by Queen and Dirty Deeds by AC/DC. :twisted:

Jala's song(s)...

"Bent" by Matchbox 20

"Poison" by Alice Cooper:

Your cruel device,
Your blood like ice.
One look could kill,
My pain, your thrill.

I wanna love you, but I better not touch (don't touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you, but I want it too much (too much)
I wanna taste you, but your lips are venomous poison

You're poison runnin' through my veins
You're poison, I don't wanna break these chains.

Your mouth, so hot
Your web, I'm caught
Your skin, so wet
black lace on sweat

I hear you callin' and it's needles and pins (and pins)
I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name
Don't wanna touch you, but you're under my skin (deep in)
I wanna kiss you, but your lips are venomous poison

You're poison runnin' through my veins
You're poison, I don't wanna break these chains
Poison

One look (one look), could kill (could kill),
My pain, your thrill.

I wanna love you, but I better not touch (don't touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you, but I want it too much (too much)
I wanna taste you, but your lips are venomous poison

You're poison runnin' through my veins
You're poison, I don't wanna break these chains
Poison

I wanna love you, but I better not touch (don't touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you, but I wanna too much (too much)
I wanna taste you, but your lips are venomous poison

Yeah
Well I don't wanna break these chains
Poison

Runnin' deep inside my veins
Burnin' deep inside my veins
Poison

You're poison runnin' through my veins
You're poison, I don't wanna break these chains
It's poison
I don't wanna break these chains


And here's a song just for Gildan: "Centerfold" by J. Geils Band

Does she walk? Does she talk?
Does she come complete?
My homeroom homeroom angel
Always pulled me from my seat

She was pure like snowflakes
No one could ever stain
The memory of my angel
Could never cause me pain

Years go by I'm lookin' through a girly magazine
And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in-between

CHORUS:
My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold
(Repeat)

Slipped me notes under the desk
While I was thinkin' about her dress
I was shy I turned away
Before she caught my eye

I was shakin' in my shoes
Whenever she flashed those baby-blues
Something had a hold on me
When angel passed close by

Those soft and fuzzy sweaters
Too magical to touch
Too see her in that negligee
Is really just too much

CHORUS

It's okay I understand
This ain't no never-never land
I hope that when this issue's gone
I'll see you when your clothes are on

Take you car, Yes we will
We'll take your car and drive it
We'll take it to a motel room
And take 'em off in private

A part of me has just been ripped
The pages from my mind are stripped
Oh no, I can't deny it
Oh yea, I guess I gotta buy it!

Considering the number of debilitating injuries/conditions she has, Jala's theme music should be "Breathe" (It only hurts when I Breathe) by Melissa Etheridge.

For his share of gold?

Yet more Lexy in love.

I'm Your Man, by Leonard Cohen:

If you want a lover
Ill do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
Ill wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
Im your man

If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
Ill examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
Im your man

Ah, the moon's too bright
The chain's too tight
The beast wont go to sleep
Ive been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or Id crawl to you baby
And Id fall at your feet
And Id howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And Id claw at your heart
And Id tear at your sheet
Id say please!
Im your man

And if youve got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
Ill disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
Im your man

Oh dear.. that's a tough one. I don't have one particular type of music that I'll listen to in a particular situation IG, whether it's fighting or rping. I do have the habit of coming up with a song for a bunch of stuff people will say...

But when it comes to a theme song... I remember thinking about it once... and I can't remember what I wrote! :P But I suppose it changes as the PC evolves and grows, right?

As for Jalya...

Well when I think of what she was when I started playing her (a bit over 3 years ago!), the first song that comes to mind is "I Stand Alone", from the movie Quest for Camelot. She was that shy and a bit "wild" Elf, having lost her people and her trust in pretty much anything and everyone. Those who know her story will probably see the link. :)
Like every tree stands on its own
Reaching for the sky I stand alone.
I share my world with no one else.
All by myself I stand alone.

I know the sound of each rock and stone
And I embrace what others feel.
You are not to roam in this forgotten place,
Just the likes of me are welcome here.
Everything breathes and I know each breath
For me it means life for others it's death.
It's perfectly balanced, perfectly planned,
More than enough for this man.

Like every tree stands on its own
Reaching for the sky I stand alone.
I share my world with no one else.
All by myself I stand alone.

I've seen your world with these very eyes
Don't come any closer, don't even try
I've felt all the pain and heard all the lies
But in my world there's no compromise

Like every tree stands on its own
Reaching for the sky I stand alone.
I share my world with no one else.
All by myself I stand alone.
As she grew up to present, there's a song coming to mind that fits her in many ways, past and present. It's "Something Beautiful", by Great Big Sea.
Hey You, you lost your only friend
You can‘t believe your broken heart will ever mend
But every mountain has its faces that‘d make you want to stop
On this so unwelcome journey from the bottom to the top.

Move along
I believe there‘s Something Beautiful to see
Move along
I believe there‘s Something Beautiful
Just waiting for you and me

I know you‘ll never count the tears you‘ve cried
Though you’ve asked a million questions
No one could tell you why
A single soul is chosen to be the one put to the test
But there will be some consolation for a heart that never rests

The years will make us older
The winters make us colder
And there‘s one more thing I‘ve come to know for sure
There‘s no bitterness that smolders, no chip on any shoulder
That a random act of kindness couldn‘t cure

Hey You, you lost your only friend
You can‘t believe your broken heart will ever mend
But every mountain has its faces that‘d make you want to stop
On this so neverending journey from the bottom to the top.
When it comes to music, for her everyday life, so to speak, I have those two instrumental pieces by The Corrs (or at least the versions I know are by them) - "Lough Erin Shore" and "Silver Strand". They both have this happy yet melancholic feel which fits Jalya, I think. They also have a "coming home" feel to them, like someone who was away for far too long and is coming back home and (re)discovering themselves.

That's what comes to mind offhand and without my extensive music collection since I'm at work. :D
Without "me", it's just "aweso".
