Mega's Character Themes

[megacookie]

I figured that I should put my themes in a more organized place, so here it is! I figure I'll put up the themes to any important characters from Villain first. So mainly Akemi, Akane, and Aoi. More may be added, but not likely.

Akemi Hiroyuki's Character Theme:

Skies of Arcadia: Town of Ice

The first of many Skies of Arcadia themes. Akemi's the stoic, icy type, but not unemotional. I feel this song gets across that fairly well.


Akemi Hiroyuki's Battle Theme:

Phantasy Star Online 2: White Field Region -Ryoran-

Nice and energetic without going too wild. Perfect for a calm speedster like Akemi.


Versus Mei Terumi:

Drakengard 3: The Anthem of Camaraderie/Abdiel

Akemi's hatred of Mei was one of the first ideas I ever thought of, because I'm a total mark for the Mist. However, I couldn't ever really find a good theme for their death battle until Pyro showed me this some time ago. Of course Drakengard 3 came out long after Villain was abandoned, and I'm pretty glad I was too lazy didn't find a theme until then. Fast and intense, the vocals only add to such a good song.

Akane Ryokuzo's Character Theme:

Mega Man Network Transmission: Blazing Internet

This has been Akane's theme ever since she was first created. Before I wrote on the Gens board, I was a major lurker during the old days of CYOA with Reiz, 21, etc etc. That inspired me to try my own CYOA, written to a handful of friends until they got bored of it and stopped voting, the assholes. Akane was the MC of that old CYOA, so I just brought her over to Villain. This song is really nice and catchy while being a tad overbearing. Describes Akane's pyromania perfectly to me.

Akane Ryokuzo's Battle Theme:

Mega Man X6: Magma Area

More Mega Man! This song takes up the overbearing-ness from the last song and ramps it up. Really fast, energetic, and rather repetitive, this perfectly describes Akane in battle. BURN TO THE GROU- BURN BURN TO THE GROUND!

---

Aoi Ryokuzo's Character Theme:

Dragon Quest VIII: Town Theme (Night)

Aoi is calm, patient, kind, the opposite of Akane pretty much. So to counter Akane's riffy, overbearing music, Aoi gets some calm, lighthearted orchestra instead. Aoi also likes soothing sounds and music, so I went with a soothing song.

Aoi Ryokuzo's Battle Theme:

Dead or Alive 2: Hitohira (Kasumi's Theme)

To be honest, I never really imagined Aoi in direct combat. However, this theme is fairly nice and calm while still having a fighting drive to it. Not really much else to say about it.

Time for some Misplaced themes!

Juryoku Uragiri's Character Theme:

Mega Man Network Transmission: Zero Gravity Area

Mega Man strikes once more. Juryoku is a really chill and lighthearted dude and this theme reflects that. I've been honestly debating whether to give Jury this theme for a long time, but in the end I went with it. Plus, the name fits!

Juryoku Uragiri's Battle Theme:

S.S.H: Thunder Force IV: Stand Up Against Myself

A lot of Jury's motivation has been based on his love for Fuu or Yukari. He's their pillar, their hero. Whenever he fights, it's mostly for their sake. This song kicks a ton of ass while being heroic, something that perfectly describes Jury while in battle, fighting for the ones he loves. He'll easily stand up against his own personal morals if it was for Fuu or Yukari and that was my general feeling when hearing this.


Versus Kotei Uragiri:

Cattle Decapitation: Your Disposal

This song just screams about the hatred Jury and his other half have for each other. There's no love lost between the two, and the song gives the perfect feel of the fight. A brutal, bloody brawl that can only end when one of them dies.

---

Yukari Uzumaki's Character Theme:

Skies of Arcadia: Valua City

A very somber theme that highlights Yukari's difficult life. However, it is also very uprising towards the end of the song, perhaps showing that not everything is lost for her.

Yukari Uzumaki's Battle Theme:

Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-: Does the Sheep Count the Sheep?

The little musical box in the beginning is such a nice touch. Perfectly shows that Yukari isn't mentally stable. However, in battle, she's all business. This song is kick ass and threatening. The piano part near the middle of the song once again shows a softer side before it goes a bit discordant and then back into awesome.

---

Kotei Uragiri's Character Theme:

Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors: Foreboding

What is there to say? A menacing tune for a menacing guy. Kotei's rather uncomfortable to be around and this gets that across quite well.


Kotei's Uragiri's Battle Theme:

Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-: Black Blank blah blah blah

Holy shit that title is perfect for an uncaring sociopath like Kotei. The song also fits very well, perfect for Kotei being able to cut loose and show how he gets business done.


Versus Yukari Uzumaki:

Symphony X: Seven

Fun fact: This was Kotei's normal theme for a long time until Black Blank blah blah blah came out. However, this song does feel way more fitting if he's fighting Yukari. The lyrics sound like something Kotei would spit at his 'lover' during the fight, trying to get her back on his side, before giving up and just cutting his losses. Fairly intense and fast paced, just like the fight would be.

Time for the MC of Legacy to get her themes!

Aiko Netsu's Character Theme

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance: Memory of Mom

Quite the fitting title, eh? This is a nice little tune that's both rather uplifting and poignant. Perfect for a girl who struggles with the loneliness of having no parents.

Aiko Netsu's Battle Theme

Bravely Default: Conflict's Chime

One of my favorite normal battle themes! But this is a pretty rad song and Aiko has it because she's a pretty rad girl.

Everybody's favorite psychopathic wincest pair is up to bat!

Kaitaikojo Shigisei's Character Theme:

Anata: Children's Laughter

A dark little tune that sounds a bit melancholy in the start. Kai did have a rough childhood, which of course doesn't excuse his current day actions. This is merely a prelude to the insanity that is The Bloody Mist.

Kaitaikojo Shigisei's Battle Theme:

Dismember: Bleed For Me

How fitting is that title? But this is a heavy song about all what Kai will do to the opponent. Not much else to it.

Kaitaikojo Shigisei's Battle Theme (Fused with Sessho-seki):

Appalling Spawn: Sublime Fury

I love the first 20 or so seconds of this song. Sounds all nice and light before smacking into a guttural overdrive. Perfect for the Bloody Mist going all out.

Kaitaikojo Shigisei's Battle Theme (Ishako dead):

Anaal Nathrakh: Pandemonic Hyperblast

Ishako is Kai's everything. You take away Ishako, you take away what little Kai has left in the world. The opening part is great, like its giving Kai some time to register what happened. At points this isn't really a song, just very violent noise, which fits for the situation.

Vs Utakata Kitaki:

Shadow Hearts 2: Glint of Light ~ Mid-Boss in Europe

A battle of two demons, one can say. It's a fairly ominous song, perfect for two people who hate each other.
---

Ishako Shigisei's Character Theme:

Hatsune Miku: Hold, Release, Rakshasa and Carcasses

This is a cheerful sounding song with a few discordant notes placed here and there. The lyrics are pretty clashing with the general tone of the song. Fits Ishako perfectly, as you just saw her without any knowledge, she'd look like a normal, well adjusted girl. Obviously she's not.

Ishako Shigisei's Battle Theme:

Carpenter Brut: Turbo Killer

I love this song. I can easily imagine this playing on Ishako's music player as she fights. It has an awesome drive and beat that gives an overwhelming feeling, but its also slightly uplifting. Which would mainly come from Ishako enjoying the fight.

Ishako Shigisei's Battle Theme (Kaitaikojo dead):

Abnormality: Hatred Relentless

Oh boy. If Ishako is in this state, the world better watch out. Unlike Kai, who'd just become a mindless beast, Ishako will become an intelligent beast. Brutal, heavy, and the lyrics pretty much state how Ishako feels. This is Ishako at her most dangerous and desperate, she has nothing else to lose, this song gets that across extremely well. As a fun fact, that's a woman singing that song.
---

Ishako and Kaitaikojo's Battle Theme (Fighting together)

Perturbator: Humans Are Such Easy Prey

Yep. This song has a Terminator quote in it, which describes Kai quite well. This song is a nice mix of the overwhelming nature of Kai's themes and Ishako's more synth-y songs. These two are a force on the battlefield and no song can fit them better.

Time for my newest MC to get his/her themes! Adachi Satsujin/Maya Kotomine is up!

Adachi Satsujin/Maya Kotomine Character Theme (Foolish)

Bravely Default: Foolish Event

Foolish Mayadachi can be rather silly, so he/she gets the appropriately silly theme! Bravely Default has a pretty nice OST, don't it?


Adachi Satsujin/Maya Kotomine Battle Theme (Foolish)

Persona 4 Ultimax: A Fool or a Clown?

This song is pretty great. Love how its pretty high energy while being rather snazzy. I can listen to this on repeat for hours.


Adachi Satsujin/Maya Kotomine Character Theme (Serious)

Persona 4: A New World Fool

Ladies and gentlemen, allow Mayadachi to be serious for a minute. This is a pretty heavy song, a bit weird sounding, but its perfect for Mayadachi. It might be just me, but is sure does give off the vibe of someone who shouldn't really be there, which fits well with Mayadachi having the Rinnegan while Nagato is still alive.


Adachi Satsujin/Maya Kotomine Battle Theme (Serious)

Symphony X: A Fool's Paradise

Have you noticed a theme to the titles of these songs yet? Anyway this is a pretty rockin' song. It describes Mayadachi's feelings on the war and what exactly he/she will do to prevent it. Otherwise a rad theme for a rad person trying to conquer the world.
