OV3RL0RD-P4RR0T- ragtag space mercenaries are one of my favourite things. I'm familiar with synth/retrowave music but I'm not sure if any of the songs I know fit Jackie's particular vibe. If nothing else, I found this nifty ambient playlist somebody already put together. Might make good background noise for writing. For something a little different, try On The Run by Wolf and Raven or Stop by Justice.

Emo- I revisited a band (Fireflight) that I hadn't checked on in years because Unbreakable reminded me of Scarlett, and it turns out they did an acoustic cover of their own song and it's lovely. For something with more energy look into Icon For Hire's stuff.

ragemachine- maybe it's too orchestral, but the Dark Balancer reminded me of Pontiff Sulyvahn's theme from the Dark Souls III OST. Honestly, peruse any of the Soulsborne soundtracks and I bet you'll find something. For Katsu, unfortunately, I came up blank (although shoutout to Katsu because I also studied kenpo/kempo for a while).

UpAndDownTheHoedown- I doubt this is what you're looking for, but Lisa reminded me of the score from The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, I think because of the "conniving, angry girl from a crime family" parallel.

Alisa- always nice to see another absolutely shredded dragonoid character lmao (that sounds sarcastic, but I also have an absolutely shredded dragonoid character). Try Suit Up by Blue Stahli, or anything from his Antisleep albums. It's got a touch of that 2012 dubstep vibe, but. What're you gonna do. If you prefer hard rock or metal I probably have some other ideas to throw at you.

jpdelta- for the rowdy space lesbians try Rocket by Fox Stevenson, or maybe The New Kings by Popeska and Can't Control Myself by Krewella.

darkborn202- thank you for your consideration! No worries. I know I've already recommended it to someone else in the thread, but the Vampyr OST is atmospheric and honestly great for provoking ideas for vampiric OCs. I couldn't think of any songs for Auren with lyrics, however. He seems like more of an ominous ambiance sort of character.

very interested! you've chosen some pretty good songs so far. c:
do you think you could do one for my girl iris? i was thinking something foreboding and dark!

I really like on the run, thanks man :3

Oh I love rocket, thanks!!!
EDIT: Never mind, turns out Imagine Dragons have just released his theme song XD
Could you find a theme song for a character that has a dissociative personality disorder? His regular personality is a nerdy student who is a pacifist with a low self-esteem that loves a chemistry and science. who tries to hold back his second personality. His second personality is narcissistic, very confident, that believes he must fight/taser criminals to punish them, and he has a southern accent. He usually comes when harm is about to come to him or when he sees a criminal.

@MaggiefromSpace- glad to hear you found something!

@Inti- if he has a character bio you could direct me towards that would be helpful, but based on what you've told me I'm going to recommend Blood to Spill by Blues Saraceno. I honestly can't think of anything else lmao, sorry. He's a tricky character.
Thats works and I pmed you the character bio.

Hey, this seems pretty interesting! If you have the time, I'd be very happy if you could find a theme song for my OC Phillípe. His entire backstory can be found here. It's a long read, as I really put effort into it, but I'd be really thankful if you would try! :)

As someone who also has Victorian-era characters I appreciate the effort you put into his backstory! Try Apparat's album Krieg Und Frieden (Music For Theater), specifically Austerlitz, K & F Thema (pizzicato), and LightOn. It might be a little eerier than you had in mind, though. I wanted to find some music with German vocals but I only knew rock songs lmao.

((Sorry ignore that, this was an accident))
hi! If you don't mind and have time, could you find a song that fits Jaime over here? Maybe something more lyric-heavy and poetic
Hey, if you're still up for doing these, I'd love to see what you'd pick for Benji here.

I'm baaaack again....

This time, I have another character in mind. Varen Dominal.

I know, I know. I already said I based him off of creepy songs. I want to know your viewpoint on him, though.

So! What theme song would fit Varen the best? I leave it to your capable... ears?
Alex Scott (played by AlexSilverX)

If you're up for it I'd love to see what kind of theme you can come up with for this character in particular.
He's essentially a stereotypical violence prone "bad boy" with an introspective inner layer who writes and acts when he can find the time while working as a mechanic. His whole "shtick" is that his parents' divorce killed his perception of romance and he was raised by his macho mechanic uncle so he acts tough and plays "alpha male" to cope. Best of luck and know that whether I agree with your theme choice or not, I'll appreciate the effort you put into this!

Thanks for your patience, everyone! School is getting hectic. In light of that, this is the last round of requests I'll do before closing the thread. I might open it sometime in the future if I have time, but. Who knows when that will be.

@AnAngrySnowyOwl
Try God I Hope This Year Is Better Than The Last by SYML or My Body Is A Cage (I linked to the original Arcade Fire version, but Peter Gabriel did a more orchestral/vocal cover if you prefer). This one would be more relevant to Jaime if "the one I love" referred to his past interests before his accident.


@Sprokkelhout
I may have leaned too much into his rowdy youth past, but here's Bury Me Face Down by Grandson and Moshpit by Bohnes. I'm sure there's something that better suits him out there, but atm I'm not sure what it is.


@darkborn202
Always a pleasure! Varen being a shadowmancer made me think of the teleportation ability from Dishonored (which incidentally is a game about spies and assassins). Maybe Wrenhaven River? There's also Demise of the Ritual from the Shadow of the Colossus OST (it's a boss theme but it's just kind of sad and hollow because at that point in the game your character's lost everything). Shadow Dancer by Mr.Kitty would work if he was a sci-fi character lmao


@AlexSilverX
Ah, cool, a character from Ontario. Hi, neighbor.
Anyways, I noticed Alex has a preference for metal or cabaret music. There's Death Is A Poor Man's Doctor by The Venetia Fair, but it's got a definite punk-cabaret sound that I wasn't sure you'd be into for this character. Weirdly enough, I found a song with the same name by Wolfhunters that's more rock/hard rock. You could also try No One Loves Me & Neither Do I by Them Crooked Vultures (rock that picks up as the song gets going; Caligulove might also fit) or Lakes of Flame by Blue Stahli (electronic metal; Not Over Til We Say So is also a jam). If you want to listen around for electronic metal songs yourself other artists worth checking out are Celldweller, Zardonic, and The Qemists.
