Character theme songs

[Candel_and_Goji]

What songs do you flock to on Youtube or otherwise that make you go "shit that's my character, shit, shit it's them"

I know there was a thread or two like this back in 2015 but I want to revive this whoooole conversation

I'm partial to this MIDI version of 'We Are Number One' for Puck in this comic I just started posting (like, yesterday) with my best friend about two morons who accidentally start a mob war.

Hmm, closest I have come to a character theme song is "I'm in Control" from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 2.
Though the song only really sticks when my character is blasting beams of light energy. So it's more of a "when someone does something" type of song.

I have playlists for each character but there are a few songs for each that I gravitate to for really getting into their headspace for writing:

Lee - Missed Me by The Dresden Dolls / Too Far For Horses by Aeon Fux (aka Guayaba)
Teo - Tiger Veil by Agent Fresco / Worker Bee by Motion City Soundtrack
Rosier - Filth and Squalor by The Dear Hunter / Emperor's New Clothes by Panic! at the Disco

this kids not alright always reminds me of Balor (from There was a War)

Cath is harder... theres lots of songs that suit her, but they dont spring out at me. vagabond by the misterwives is a good one

Well now this looks like fun
For my main protagonist Amy Druvmenski and her punch first, ask questions later style:

For my main antagonist Nicholas Serveign and his eccentric, almost flamboyant style:

Dude, that's NUTS! We have a character in parlor tricks named Balor, too!!
same name

[punkarsenic]

no fucking waaay - whered you get the name from? my balors named after the mythology character

Jon's song from BioHazard is definitely Surf Song by Fenix TX

Michael's song is Moonbase Blues by Crunk Witch

And that's all I have so far haha, I think you can feel their personalities really show through those two songs

My comic for context.

Hmmm for Markesha I'd say Woodkid's Run,boy,run! The only issues would be Markesha's a girl, but I don't really think she'd care xD It fits her struggle and her story really well.

Runner up (lolz) would be one a reader sent to us Run Run Run by Jill Scott

In my comic Soul Ascendance Eyes on Fire by Blue Foundation is really fitting for my series main antagonist Umbra, like, every word of it.

For my comic Crow's Worth.

I say this song fits Miss

For Crow...I dunno, maybe this song

[Candel_and_Goji]

So is ours! Actually, we have a lot of characters with names based in Irish mythology (I'm writing my thesis on it). We just started posting but if you like that kind of thing you should check it out!
