My blood mage

Such a great thread! I had much feelings during my very first playthrough with my female Tabris. She romanced Alistair and got dumped after the Landsmeet, so she took the Final Sacrifice. Her song is:

 

 

Eyes without light can see so clear

what those with sight are blind to...

The final fight is getting near

And they were right, we will lose...

Come this far no turning back

A kiss before it all turns black

My stars have fallen from the sky

My dreams have faded into the Night

No Tomorrow

not for me

Pain and Sorrow

all I see

All I feel

The final night is getting near...

The fading light - well be through

For the first time Im feeling fear

And oh, damn right - we will lose

The shadows growing deep

Well be gone eternally

Our stars have fallen from the sky

Our dreams have faded into the Night

No Tomorrow

not for us

Death and Sorrow

dust to dust

Dust to Dust

Ouch... she didn't do the US because of Alistair did she?   Poor lass. But awesome song.

Took some consideration for my mage Seras Amell. I've settled with Superimposed by Pair of Arrows:

 

 

Without one, without a cage

what breaks another for a fruitless wave

Fall alone, back to the sea

with none but your heart beating

 

Give a sign when you’ve fallen for me

give a smoke signal, we’re cast in deep

We have cast ourselves like coins into the well

 

It is sure to return

I guess I just wondered,

wanted to prove,

how much I loved it

how much I

I knew

 

All has been questioned

and all my faith has faded away

Alone in a crowded room

with nothing to say

 

What do you say we meet on the bridge

with a sword of diamond in our one hand and

a shield of steel in the other, turn to the demons

and laugh

 

What do you say we knock the ice off our wings

and put ourselves between the shadows and

the shafts of light

 

What do you say we seek to fly higher than

the ghosts of the night

of the night

 

It is sure to return

I guess I just wanted

to prove

how much I loved it

how much I

I knew

 

Explanation: Magic was all she knew. It was in her past, her present and future. Her only intent in life was to constantly study and improve her magical ability to rise in the ranks of the Circle, ignoring all attempts at friendship and love aside from Jowan until that fateful moment she became a Grey Warden. From then, she found a purpose that was so profound, and a door opened wide to a vast future she knew nothing about. She found love with Alistair, but always felt a shadow in the back of her mind (further emphasized by Wynne) that it would lead nowhere.

 

Following the events of the Battle of Denerim, Alistair left her side in order to pursue his duty as the king. She accepted this, and found herself in a position she couldn't comprehend--freedom. Her friends were all moving on to pursue their own lives. She found herself craving the adventure that was thrust onto her and the sense of purpose and togetherness it brought her.

 

I love picturing her speaking in abstract metaphors when she's trying to express her feelings.

Thank you! No, she did not take that option. As the game was totally new  at that time and I like to play RP with my characters, I tought this is the fiiting end: ( if we go tragic lets do a total tragic version).

 

You have a nicely built story for your Amell and the song choice is fitting

Warden Jarqen:

 

Gifts and Curses - Yellowcard

 

"Gifts And Curses"
 

Mary belongs to the words of a song. 
I try to be strong for her, try not to be wrong for her. 
But she will not wait for me, anymore, anymore. 
Why did I say all those things before? I was sure. 

(She is the one), but I have a purpose, 
(she is the one), and I have to fight this, 
(she is the one), a villian I can't knock down. 

I see your face with every punch I take, 
and every bone I break, it's all for you. 
And my worst pains are words I cannot say, 
still I will always fight on for you. 

Mary's alive in the bright New York sky, 
the city lights shine for her, above them I cry for her. 
Everything's small on the ground below, down below. 
What if I fall, then where would I go, would she know? 

(She is the one), all that I wanted, 
(she is the one), and I will be haunted, 
(she is the one), this gift is my curse for now. 

I see your face with every punch I take, 
and every bone I break, it's all for you. 
And my worst pains are words I cannot say, 
Still I will always fight on for you. Fight on for you ...

I see your face with every punch I take,
and every bone I break, its all for you
and my worst pains are words I cannot say
still I will always fight on for you. Fight on for you. Fight on for you...

[teh DRUMPf!!]

 Warden Mahariel is a proud, cocky Dalish-nationalist. As a Warden recruit he looked to prove Dalish superiority by out-performing his peers. As the defacto leader of the 'Wardens after Ostagar, he operated with the agenda of making powerful allies where he could find them, growing his own wealth/power, and furthering his people's interests. He is just generally a guy that grabs the bull by the horns and steps up to any challenge like he knows he can conquer it.

 

When it comes to choosing songs for my characters, rhythm and tone are more important than lyrics/message IMO (but I try to find songs that check all four boxes)

 

P.O.D. -- Boom

 

 

^ Lyrics would need to be modified, changing from those of a musician on the rise (as I interpret it) --to-- an elven Dalish rogue taking the world of Thedas beyond his clan by storm. But the undertone of an aggressive, challenging message is spot-on, and the rhythm is just about perfect as well.

My canon Warden, Cara Cousland was dutiful and embarced the fate of the Wardens after everything fell apart around her. This song is hers:

 

 

Lyrics:

Spoiler

I can see
when you stay low nothing happens.
Does it feel right?
Late at night
things I thought I put behind me
haunt my mind.

I just know there's no escape now
once it sets its eyes on you.
But I won't run, have to stare it in the eye.

Stand my ground, I won't give in.
No more denying, I've got to face it.
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside.
If I don't make it,
someone else will stand my ground.

It's all around, getting stronger,
coming closer, into my world.
I can feel that it's time for me to face it,
can I take it?
Though this might just be the ending
of the life I held so dear.
But I won't run,
there's no turning back from here.

All I know for sure is I'm trying.
I will always stand my ground.

Stand my ground, I won't give in.
I won't give up, no more denying.
I've got to face it.
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside.
If I don't make it,
someone else will stand my ground.
I won't give in, no more denying.
I've got to face it.
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside.
If I don't make it,
someone else will stand my ground.

I find this theme as fitting especially at 2:12 when the Lyrics say

Did you find another cure?

Such a good (necroed) thread! Lots of fitting choices...

 

My usual song for all rpg's is the one I quote from in my signature- Jethro Tull's "No Lullaby":

 

 

 

Spoiler

"No Lullaby"

Keep your eyes open and ****** up your ears ---
rehearse your loudest cry.
There's folk out there who would do you harm
so I'll sing you no lullaby.
There's a lock on the window; there's a chain on the door:
a big dog in the hall.
But there's dragons and beasties out there in the night
to snatch you if you fall.

So come out fighting with your rattle in hand.
Thrust and parry. Light
a match to catch the devil's eye. Bring
a cross of fire to the fight.

And let no sleep bring false relief
from the tension of the fray.
Come wake the dead with the scream of life.
Do battle with ghosts at play.

Gather your toys at the call-to-arms
and swing your big bear down.
Upon our necks when we come to set
you sleeping safe and sound.

It's as well we tell no lie
to chase the face that cries.
And little birds can't fly
so keep an open eye.
It's as well we tell no lie
so I'll sing you no lullaby.

 

Lots of Jethro Tull applies to the setting, particularly "Beastie" and "Broadsword."

 

Mostly I just think of the in-game music when I feel the characters, particularly the dwarf commoner origin, but if I were to give my Kruklya Brosca or Aedlyn Tabris a song... maybe Labbe Siffre's "Something Inside So Strong":

 

 

For Jagan Aeducan this might work- The Kinks "Living on a Thin Line":

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSUbn9qE8iY

 

Feylathil Mahariel was a bit of an earthy nature boy- gets Jethro Tull's "Songs from the Wood":

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAkSIwaUaNc

 

If I took the Dalish origin more seriously I might go with Luka Bloom's "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" or XIT's "Silent Warrior."

 

My Sywynlae Surana had power issues (crazedness) with all that magic at her fingertips, ultimately laying waste to anything she could in her path. Maybe Chris Rea's "The Road to Hell":

My "Canon" City Elf Warden: "Blow Me Away" by Breaking Benjamin.

 

(Just change the lines "fire your guns" to "fire your bows" and it's almost a perfect match.)

[Verse 1:]

They fall in line [darkspawn and Loghain's cronies]

One at a time
Ready to play
(I can't see them anyway)
No time to lose
We've got to move
Steady your helm
(I am losing sight again)

[Bridge:]
Fire your [bows]
It's time to [roll]
Blow me away
(I will stay, in the mess I made)
After the fall
We'll shake it off
Show me the way

[Chorus:]
Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven, when we die
I am the shadow on the wall [stealthy rogue]
I'll be the one to save us all

[Verse 2:]
There's nothing left [Howe and Loghain]
So save your breath
Lying in wait
(Caught inside this tidal wave)
Your cover's blown [at the Landsmeet]
Nowhere to go
Holding your fate
(Loaded I will walk alone)

[Bridge:]
Fire your [bows]
It's time to [roll]
Blow me away
(I will stay, in the mess I made)
After the fall
We'll shake it off
Show me the way

[Chorus]

Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven, when we die
I am the shadow on the wall 
I'll be the one to save us all

You wanted it ba[d] [AKA "You REALLY wanted to pick this fight, Howe and Loghain"]
DON'T MAKE ME MAD! [Howe and Loghain]
ENOUGH! [AKA "Stop killing and enslaving my people, and stop trying to stop me from doing my job of stopping the Blight"]
DIE! [Howe and Loghain]

[Chorus]
Only the strongest will survive [against the Blight]

Lead me to heaven, when we die
I am the shadow on the wall 
I'll be the one to save us all

 

...save us all
