Star Wars Iconic Characters: Off-stage.

[Vor'en Kurn]

Going back to the Jane Austen thing, Arani's whole speech about her arranged marriage (and the trials that will inevitably result from such a romance) remind me of Kate Chopin's The Awakening, which I'm reading right now for a class. Of course, Chopin is much, much more serious than either Austen or us. And hopefully Arani won't meet the same dire fate as poor Edna.

Any other theme song suggestions? I'm afraid my knowledge of music is extremely, extremely limited....

stupid...*grumble*

 

[Sia-Lan Wezz]

For Vor'en?

I think there are a ton of action movie oriented songs out there, anything you had in mind for you theme? Requests?

As for Valara...given your current state of mind...hmm...Bootylicious by Destiny's Child?

 

[Vor'en Kurn]

I was thinking less of Vor'en than in general. He hasn't been around long enough, I think, to be easily characterized by a theme song.

As for others... something country for Kaz, obviously. The more paradocially hickish, the better.

Certainly around long enough to sock me in the jaw...

EDIT:

hows this?

Kelko's Theme

and

Kaz-Lo's Theme

I haven't read the story in years, but from what I remember I think you're spot on. I'll have to track down a copy and re-read it. One reason why I love playing Arani so much is that she draws from such a different set of influences than any other character I've ever played. Jane Austen, E.M. Forster, Cold Comfort Farm, Evelyn Waugh, first season John Crichton, and now The Awakening. Cool.

As for theme songs - I'm thinking.

I've been talking to the music arrangers, and they're working on a complete sound track. But be patient. It's not always easily to precisely match a song to a personality, or vice versa.

Here's what they dug up for Arani...

"Killer Queen" Freddy Mercury

She keeps Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet,
'Let them eat cake,' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette,
A built-in remedy
For Kruschev and Kennedy.
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline.

Caviar and cigarettes,
Well versed in etiquette,
Extraordinarily nice.

She's a Killer Queen!
Gunpowder, gelatine,
Dynamite with a laser beam!
Guaranteed to blow your mind,
Anytime!

Recommended at the price,
Insatiable an appetite.
Wanna try?

To avoid complications,
She never kept the same address.
In conversation,
She spoke just like a baroness.
Met a man from China.
Went down to Geisha Minah.
Then again incidentally,
If you're that way inclined...

Perfume came naturally from Paris.
For cars she couldn't care less.
Fastidious and precise.

She's a Killer Queen!
Gunpowder, gelatine,
Dynamite with a laser beam!
Guaranteed to blow your mind,
Anytime!

Drop of a hat she's as willing as,
Playful as a pussy cat.
Then momentarily out of action,
Temporarily out of gas.
To absolutely drive you wild, wild!
She's all out to get you.

She's a Killer Queen!
Gunpowder, gelatine,
Dynamite with a laser beam!
Guaranteed to blow your mind,
Anytime!

Recommended at the price,
Insatiable an appetite.
Wanna try?
You wanna try.

It's pretty much inevitable that once we get started on theme songs, talk will inevitably turn to The Star Wars Iconic Love Theme.

Such Unlikely Lovers
On a hot city day
When your white shirt turns to grey
That's when she'll arrive
When you look how you feel
Someone steps upon your heel
That's when she will come
Listen now
I'm not saying that there will be violins
But don't be surprised if they appear
Playing in some doorway
Still I can't believe that this is happening

We're such unlikely lovers
Though no one seems to notice as they hurry by
Ask me what I'm thinking, and I won't deny it
Can you believe it's happening?
Can you believe it's happening?

There were no magic spells
You can keep the flowers and bells
They just don't seem right
Can it actually be?
Me and you and you and me
Though we're like day and night

Listen now
I'm not saying that there will be violins
But don't be surprised if they appear
Playing in some doorway
Still I can't believe that this is happening

We're such unlikely lovers
Though no one seems to notice as they hurry by
Ask me what I'm feeling, and I won't deny it
Can you believe it's happening?
I am bewildered
Can you believe it's happening?
Somebody help me
Can you believe it's happening?

Lyrics by Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach

Cool songs. And a nice avatar- I like it better than the old one.

 

[Dorn Tavers]

That is definitely a great new avatar, Arani. Leave it to the fashionable noblewoman to come up with the best iconic accessories.
