Something light-hearted for you all :D .

Whenever I come up with a new character I always label them a song that resonates with them somewhat. For example William's would be Vindicated by Dashboard Confessional. Particularly the chorus: "And I am flawed! But I am cleaning up so well." ;)

Anyone else do this, and what song would used to sum up your character?

I don't actively find songs that work for my characters, but I find that whatever I'm playing influences what I write a lot. XD (Up-tempo songs help my writing speed. A lot.)
I'll go see if I know anything that fits Jolene. *Scurries off to her cd-collection.*

Behold! Song lyrics!

Let's keep hiding, all quiet like.
They'll keep seeking but they won't find us.
Let's keep living a quiet life,
you and I, you and I...

– Rangers, by A Fine Frenzy.

Never really said too much,
afraid it wouldn't be enough
Just try to keep my spirits up
when there's no point in grieving

– Light On, by David Cook.
I think this song suits Joanne's character really well.

Oktober overvalt ons ieder jaar.
October overwhelms us every year.
We kijken naar elkaar na een overvolle zomer.
We look at each other after a crowded summer.
En we zijn alweer veranderd, maar het voelt niet meer vertrouwd
And we've changed again, but it doesn't feel familiar anymore
nu we plotseling beseffen dat wij onszelf niet zijn...
now that we suddenly realise we're not ourselves anymore...

– Oktober, by BLØF.
The nostalgic feeling of the song suits Joanne. The lyrics, that things are changing but some tidbits of the way things were still remain and come back to us every now and then, it's pretty much how Joanne feels every now and then, what with her personal history and the whole innoculation-thing.

Iron Maiden's 'The Trooper' just seems to fit Alix.

Ethan's anthem would be a lesser known one.

If any of you know who Wolf is, you'll probably know the song Wolf's Blood. If not, click the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-__3B9HExU

for those of you who don't feel like checking out the link, here's the first few lines:

"My skin it feels one size too small. My body aches as my senses fade away.
I see it now, it's crystal clear. When night descends the wolf inside me looms."

I find it could work for just about any character here.

I don't know any songs that would really be Kayje's theme, but my Signature quote describes things somewhat well and comes from Such Horrible Things by Creature Feature.

What's freaky about ICP is that their songs contain morals.

Anyways, see if you can find the song Children of the Black Flame or go to my YouTube page (http://www.youtube.com/user/SpiritoftheWolf28232 and for the record is filled with unfinished projects) and see my Naruto AMV of Wolf's cover of (Don't Fear) The Reaper.

@Naranth
No prob

For Damien's current situation, I can think of only one: "Dare" by Stan Bush.

Have a listen; you'll get the idea.

I found it hard to find a song that'd fit Cass' personality, possibly this would be the closest.

I also like this song it reminds me of the general feel of the situation.

In reptrospect i think this suits my character a bit better :D

"You want to see me burn, i am living fire. You want to see me burn, i am living fire. You will know me by the scars i bare. Tou will know me be the hate i swear."

That is if my power isn't considered to OP D:

Or you could go for the gusto with "BURN, baby! BURN! Disco Inferno!"

Random thought:
I vote that this song is the inoculees' themesong.
No regrets 'cause I've got nothing to lose. Ever stray, so I'm gonna live the life that I choose...

I briefly considered the unabridged version for Damien, but ultimately decided that "Dare" sounded more hopeful, and thus closer to his true inner self(though "Stray" could be used to describe/explain the silent tough front that he shows everybody else).

I think alot of song'd suit Katriane. 'All that I'm living for' - by Evanescence is one way at looking at her.
