ProfessorCogsworth Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Ok I come from an online RP circle where theme songs where actually a big part of the character.You see in City of Heroes/Villains most people would pick a themesong for their character because, as we all know, heroes and villains in the world of comicbook adaptations all have their own themes. From the dark moody tones of Batman: The animated series to the uplifting notes of the Superman theme.A theme that fits the character, that if they got their own series would be apt for a title sequence.For example my villain, the mad scientist Doctor Mechano had this as his theme: While my big (she stood nearly 9 feet tall and had a she-hulk muscle build) invulnerable, super strong Catgirl Amy Zon had this as her theme tune: So I have been thinking what would my OC, Professor Cogsworth, have as his theme. Now weird science I could reuse but it doesn't really suit him, weird science to me conjures up more images of robots, genetic tinkering and other more moderny science pursuits.So, he is upbeat, loud but kind hearted, generally starts the day on an uplifting note and goes from there, never letting his failures set him back. Thus I give to you his theme tunehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAodFpSLYiUNow the question remains, what would your OC pony theme be, lets here them!

flutterscotch Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 There's a thread about this: I do need to go back and assign theme songs to my characters since then though!Also, Cogsworth + the entire Metropolis soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfessorCogsworth Posted December 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Bah curses, that'll teach me to search.Also...which Metropolis soundtrack...there are several...if you're refering to the Black and white Fritz Lang version (it was a silent film, what do you expect?) or is there a more uptodate version?

Especially the Billy Squier song. It would be a HILARIOUS character, but still.I kinda wanna app a Billy Squier pony, again, now. Oh the pride of Wellesley.

ping111 Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 It would probably have to be the Maple Leaf Rag: Even without the title, my OC's namesake, the song's general perkiness and cheery mood describes Maple rather well. Also, some more unskilled pianists may get confused and hold a note for too long, just as Maple is often confused, but hard-trying, in complex social situations.

Oh the pride of Wellesley.See that conjures up images of Cogsworth in his lab, hammering away at metals, tweaking springs and cogs, whirling around like a dervish as he sorts through parts to make HIS GREATEST INVENTION EVER!...which explodes in a shower of sparks, flame and fury.

ProfessorCogsworth Posted December 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Is 'the other kind' that really awful, completely unfitting 80s soundtrack? Annoyingly that, for a short while, was the only way to get the remastered version.Me and a friend tried to actually watch Metropolis with that soundtrack once and we just gave up. The soundtrack just did not fit the mood of Metropolis at all and has in total 1 good song in it anyway (the song by Queen). Whoever decided to use that soundtrack needed a good slap.

Whoever decided to use that soundtrack needed a good slap.You can direct it at this man.But then forgive him because he was just doing his best to try to get people back into the movie. It probably would have been lost if not for him. And also he wrote the music for Highway to the Danger Zone (and a bunch of other stuff).Speaking of weird 80s novelties...I would link to the Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, with Danny Elfman starring as Satan and covering Cab Calloway, but that's not board appropriate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowshoe Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I've got a few.Muggo' Ale: or, alternatively, , given that the entire character is an expy of a Newfoundlander.Timbre Swing: , the song that inspired his entire creation.Bowsprit: James Newton Howard - The Launch, based on his personality and profession.Dapper Dan: , the inspiration behind his creation.Wind Rider: , based on the image I get with this song of just soaring over rolling hills. And Wind is my own personal ponysona, or darn near close, and this is one of my all time favourites.And non-Mane, but my FOE character Snowshoe: , a song I absolutely adore and fits the "period" of Fallout Equestria.

Spaced Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 [colour=#FF8C00]For Citrus Orange - Citrus has always been something of the anti-hero in my view. She's sarcastic, condescending and not above being cruel and petty. But she's also loyal and willing to defend those who are unable to defend themselves.[/colour]Main themehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1QUZzeZoPQBattle theme [colour=#0000FF]For Hoax - Crazy, full of childish glee, hyperactive and adventurous.

WhiteSlash Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Oh! Themes!

TheInvisiblePony Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Call me crazy, but I figure this song fits Fantasy Tropes really well. It matches a certain adventurous wonder lust that I had in mind when making the character. Maybe it doesn't fit perfectly, but its too late for maybes. The deed is done. As for the others, I'll need to put some thought into it, but I can probably s****e up some answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frost137 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I didn't know this thread existed! Lemme get a shot of this!Spin Art is a goofy character with a crazy imagination with a talent of art and stories. She always thinks that her life is a crazy story/adventure and values the power of friendship. So I bring you the MLP:FiM Theme, The Alex S. Glitch Remix!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R677MV--WI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arylett Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I actually had a theme specially made for me by a friend that I call Arylett's Theme. But since my OC is my ponysona and thus exactly like me, this theme would also apply to Artsy Dreamscapes. Here it is:Arylett's Theme.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopeTheWanderer Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 My OC, Hope, is much too different from me to be considered a 'ponysona'.The only theme I can find that seems fits him is 'Far Away' from the Red Dead Redemption soundtrack: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
