For Citizen Dawn, I believe Children of the Sun by Billy Thorpe would be quite fitting.
Baron Blade: “Behind Blue Eyes.”
We've thought about this, too, except we called it "entrance music" ala boxing/mma and generally assumed you'd only get a little blip (generally, but not always, the beginning) at the beginning of a turn. Whether it's the whole song or just a snippet would influence the decisions. But some agreed upon ones, in our circle:
Absolute Zero- "Ice Ice Baby" (natch)
Legacy- "America: F*** Yeah" (presumably with big band and dubstep arrangements for Grandpa and Baby Legacy, respectively)
Bunker- "Iron Man"
Wraith- "Creeping Jenny" (The Pack A.D.- not well known but worth listening to)
Tempest- "Thunderstruck" (THUNDAH... awwahhh - wah awah wahhhh- THUNDAH)
Ra- "Clint Eastwood" (maybe more logical for Chronoranger, but we like our arrangement)
Fanatic- "Holy Diver" (the Dio original)
Omnitron X: "Mr. Roboto"
Unity: "U.N.I.T.Y." ("Queen Latifah, give me strength!" - Gene Belcher)
Expatriette: "Bang Bang" (My Baby Shot Me Down) (Obviously also considered "Bad Reputation" for several reasons)
Mr. Fixer: "Bring the Ruckus" ("En Garde! I'll let you try my Wu Tang style!")
Nightmist: "Black Magic Woman"
Chrono-Ranger: "Cowboy" (Jon Bon Jovi, natch. He's from the nineteenth century, he doesn't get how cheesy it is)
Setback: "Loser" ("In the time of chimpanzees/I was a monkey")
The Naturalist: "The Bad Touch" ("Alligators are not mammals," he severely informs the other heroes, who still persist in singing about how both he and them are nothing but)
The Sentinels: "Everything Is Awesome"
The Scholar: "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" (because he's The Dude, natch)
Argent Adept: "I Hear Colors" (The Black Angels)
As for villains, we don't have many for them... except the Apostate would HAVE to be something involving Glenn Danzig.
I could see the Idealist loving this song and the rest of the group at first just begrudgingly indulge her and then end up loving the song themselves. Then when the Idealist grows up, she hates that song, but the rest of the team still sing it to annoy her and out of a sense of nostalgia.
For Kismet, definitely Roll the Bones by Rush.
For Miss Information, Head Games by Foreigner.
Resurrecting this thread because I found a few fitting songs.
Tachyon - Caffeine.
Idealist - Revolting Children
Sky Scraper - My I'm Large
Kaargra Warfang - The Final Countdown (or Mortal Kombat)
Citizen Dawn - I Burn
The Naturalist - The Stampede
A RWBY fan. I repect you. I am glad you brought it back, i enjoy reading this list.
Side note as much as i love the Sentinels vedio game song, I do grow weary of it after so long. I want a version 2.
I'll admit that I rarely listen to the in-game music. I usually have it muted and listen to Pandora instead. Although when facing the Ennead, I'll ususually play Playing with the Big Boys Now because it's thematically appropriate.
I think For Profit's theme would be Moneytalks by AC/DC.
Come on, come on, love me for the money.
I’m a big fan of Angel With a Shotgun for expat.
I'm surprised no one else has suggested Surfin Bird for the Matriach.
There's a Legacy theme song in the Shattered Timelines soundtrack =)
I do love the game soundtrack for the environments. Especially Time Cataclysm and Silver Gulch. The yee haw makes me smile every time.
My personal faves from the video game are Time Cataclysm and Tomb of Anubis, in that order. The Grasshopper (age 10) likes La Capitan
From the video game I like the main menu theme.
Well, I like all the music I've heard but the main menu theme is just about perfect.
I tend to think more of the environments/villains having soundtracks than the heroes - each hero turn wouldn't last long enough!
For Gloomweaver, I'd suggest The Autumn Project - This We Take With Us (album). It all has a fairly dark and crawling tone, but Song 4 is a 14 minute soundtrack to a zombie apocalypse
For Wagner Mars base, I'd use 65daysofstatic - Wild Light (though that might well be replaced by the No Man's Sky soundtrack they're doing)
For Silver Gulch I'd use either Bear McCreary's Defiance video game score (particularly Ninety-Niners), or maybe Souvenir's Young America
What song is this?
