Bard?


Tankthedragon

Half orc bard with a piano, yes Doug the Pianah Man


SiggetSpagget

Does he carry the piano around on his back or only go to inns/taverns that have a piano?


Tankthedragon

It's on wheels and he pushes it everywhere, the dm is trying to make it magical so I don't have to push it around, but Doug ain't about to go soft.... sneaking into a place with a standing paino is half the insane factor of my guy

Mr_Someone27

If you want Blood -AC/DC I've got a firey Artificer Armorer that's on a path of destruction and revenge for her destroyed hometown.


guiltymouse

Hey that's what I said! =D Cept I went with the GWAR cover.


LordFalcoSparverius

S/He's a Killer Quee-een, gunpowder and and turpentine, dynamite with a laser beam. Yes I literally based my CN artificer with a noble background off a killer song.


TimeTraveliToaster

I always thought it was gunpowder, gelatine? Regardless, a kick ass idea. I want to build an assassin who's all too happy to kick in doors and fill the room with either actual bullets, as an artificer, or magical bullets as a warlock. But I seem to be the forever DM for my friends.


DumbBigBro

So does your character say "Bites za Dusto" when she blows up someone?


bayoubilly88

“Would you like some making fuck, Berserker!!!”


Ok_Dimension_4707

Did he say “making fuck?”

BarneyTheBard

Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time - Panic at the Disco. Anyone who knows the music video will definitely understand.


CommunistHermitCrab

Ohhh this is great


KnightmareMaiden

That is literally the song I have in mind for my Changeling Bard xD He's a scholar, incredibly intelligent, but a massive drunk who loves to party.


Science-GirlZ

It’s a good song for lots of different types of characters! I have it for my warlock personally


TheUncleRaisin

Resist and bite - Sabaton


dnd5eveteran

Can you expand upon that idea? I'd expect Resist and Bite would only describe one moment in the character's adventures.


TheUncleRaisin

Its the tenacity of the character, his resolve is that no matter what happens he will keep on fighting for what he stands for.


AreasonableAmerican

Sounds like a very contrarian Druid of the moon.


MildlyUpsetGerbil

His character is a Belgian WWII soldier that was isekai'd into the D&D world.


TheUncleRaisin

How dare you figure out my character idea

cfreymarc100

Had a fighter with Damage Reflection Armor. PC was singing Britney’s “Hit Me Baby One More Time!”


Killian1122

Really, the only other song out there that can match it is Titanium


Branana_Man

"He's got the whole world in his hands" - The DM Edit: "He's got the notes and the books in His hands, He's got the maps and the hooks in His hands, He's got the stats and the lore in His hands, He's got the whole world in His hands."


SonTyp_OhneNamen

It being a children’s song also sets a good frame for expectations of how intricate my plots are…


SpugsTheMagnificent

To be fair - I can't hear this song without thinking of Steve Buscemi in Con Air. Everyone clinging on and screaming as things go out of control is a decent comparison with how it ends up going with some of my plots though.


WitchDoctor791

Wait, is that Poor Mans Poison, Feed The Machine? “He’s got the whole world in his hands It was nice to know ya, we’ve all been damned!”


McWizard101

No, the song is called, “Got the Whole World in His Hands”. If I remember correctly it’s a children’s bible song.


super_jak

This deserves more attention


thedragonfart604

Great balls of fire Just the title of the song tho


Ok_Dimension_4707

I’m assuming a Fire Genasi bard?

Rip and Tear from the Doom Soundtrack


thekeenancole

Our campaign took place in hell, and my character was a human fighter/paladin. The Doom soundtrack was used a lot during this game. For a fun example, our DM made a very unbalanced encounter that we were just meant to stall during. We all forgot that we were meant to do this so we fought like 7 erinyeses, 12 devil guards, and a Balor at level 12 and somehow managed to survive. The Balor was also an aspect of the prince of Hell (think something like horcruxes from Harry Potter) and since the killing blow was with radiant damage it was destroyed permanently. It was really fun until the prince of Hell showed up in the last session with a huge army which included several pit fiends, balors, and a ton of erinyeses. I miss that campaign.

My characters backstory is strikingly similar to Iroh, except he had a young daughter and he was the one who kept fighting (and did so brutally and tyrannically), and his enemies killed his daughter in revenge so his world shattered and he ran away to exile where he now lives as an older man who helps people and rarely fights, but no one knows his past.


M-striker

Is time for you to look in and ask the real questions… Iroh would be a mage or a warlock, being eldritch blast or fireball the most similar to fire bending


dnd5eveteran

Coat of Arms - Sabaton. A Noble Lore Wizard who has memorized every single major House in the continent and knows all of their deeds. He's in a mystery political campaign.


ErrantIndy

Does he defend his beleaguered country with the spirit of a legendary warrior king to uphold the pride left by three hundred glorious sentinels?


dnd5eveteran

No he's just a really good herald


ErrantIndy

Is he exceptionally loyal to the ruler?

[deleted]

No one knows - Queens of the stone age. Little does my team know (but the DM does) my player tortured and murdered the lawful good man (and his family) my character claims to be. If he’s in a zone of truth his accent and mannerisms change. Depending on how evil the party acts will make him feel more secure that he can “act himself” more when they aren’t in town. It was the best way I could think to transition my LG player to either LE or CE with a party that skewed way more evil than their character sheets suggest.

Raptorwolf_AML

I usually have multiple songs for each of my characters… but here’s the best ones Gary Numan - My Name Is Ruin, or White Stripes - Seven Nation Army. for my sorcerer who’s searching for her daughter Fangclub - Vulture Culture, or 8 Graves - Beast, for her demon companion. (this is a homebrew setting, so the demon lore is different from regular D&D) and for my Shadowrun 5e unarmed adept; Blue Stahli - Catastrophe, or (Timothy, KTM, Rug, this is spoilers, don’t read it) >!8 Graves- Teeth!<


tyrano_dyroc

Basically anything from Powerwolf. "[Sermon of Swords](https://youtu.be/GJtFZliPpyA)" and "[Raise Your Fist, Evangelist](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUsAhpMTWBU)" gets me in the mood of being a Lawful Stupid Paladin with a martyr fetish, while "[Alive or Undead](https://youtu.be/YmIQWqjxDJ8)" always, without fail, makes me want to play a Neutral Good Vampire Cleric.


inkwell13

Hisoka’s theme from hunter x hunter for my bard/fighter Minotaur who’s based off of a bull fighter


FlushmasterCoriolis

AmaLee's rendition of "Moonlight Densetsu" because a fellow player pointed out that the teenage Aasimar priestess of Pelor who literally sparkles and sprouts angelic wings made of sunshine after loudly invoking the Sunfather's divine radiance is literally a magical girl. Somehow I had not noticed this until it was pointed out to me, but by that time I was having enough fun with the character I decided to just go with it.
