Alright, so I'm looking for a theme song for a character I've got, and thought somebody could offer a suggestion.

Queen's "Princes of the Universe" is about perfect in terms of lyrics, but the music is all off for the character. The Carmina Burana is much closer.

The character is the descendent of the kings of an ancient empire, the rulers of the world ... those that shaped the world. so really is born to be king, and does have in him the blood of kings.

So i know that might not be much to go on, but anybody have any ideas? Epic feel, with lyrics implying ownership of all the lands and all that ...

describe the character a bit more in depth. what his personality is, how he acts to other people, etc. I might have something for you
 

well I personally have two different theme songs, the first, is my strut song, or my 70's cop song, that of course is the theme to the Rockford Files. As for my other song, its my warm fuzzy song and thats the theme from Growing Pains, and god bless you Mr. Alan Thicke.
 


other stuff ... (done partially for balance reasons...)

The City of Atayla was his families. It was recently overrun by an enemy army. The character, name of Lucius Aurillius, (bright gold), is a necromancer fighter. He posesses some fairly odd religious beliefs that are frowned upon in the region.

In his eyes, while everyone should be free to do what they can to improve themsleves, he and his brethren do know best ... Which means that people can be told what to do -- Lucius has the right to rule, the land itself claims this.

Anyway, will that help?
 


Personally, I like to find a character's theme song by picking out the single most defining, intense moment in the character's life, and finding a song that suits that moment in time. For my character, Angcuru Melaroira, I chose Lamento Eroico by Rhapsody, as the music and lyrics fit the moment perfectly. So much so that it actually brings a tear to my eye when I hear it. In other words: it works.

From your description so far, I have these suggestions:

By Manowar:
Master of Revenge
Hand of Doom
Fight Until We Die

By Rhapsody:
Knightrider of Doom
Echoes of Tragedy
Agony is My Name

I think one of these might work for you.
 


I like sturm und drang as much as the next guy, but you can't go wrong with the Benny Hill theme song.

Kickass.

I've always been partial to porn soundtracks for my characters:

"bowmp chick a bowmp chick a bowmp oo-wa oo-wa a wawa"

Never an occasion it won't fit for your character; sweaty leather-filled bar scenes, exploring deep dark holes, answering the door when the "Mead Hut" delivery person knocks...
