Hey guys, BLSturton here (No way). I've decided to start doing these 'Bonus Chapters' after each arc, just as a little treat in between adventures. These will range from mini stories, fun facts, Q&A's, and more! For our first Bonus Chapter, I've decided to show off character themes! You know, songs that I think would suit each character. So, enough beating around the bush, let's get into it!
Ket: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COZac4G_yK8
The theme I've chosen for Ket is the instrumental to the song 'Dear Maria Count Me In' by All Time Low. I picked this one because I think it embodies Ket near perfectly: Energetic, yet passionate and unafraid to be serious. (Or try to, anyway...) The whole 'passionate and serious' thing mainly comes from the part near the end, where the music loses intensity and takes a slower, stronger form. (Damn, I'm making this wayyyy too philosophical)
Sukato: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fSLWzW9NvY&t=12s
Sukato's theme is Versus from the Doom-Inspired shooter ULTRAKILL. (Yes, in all caps. It's just that cool.) The reason I picked this one is a lot less interesting than Ket's: I just think it fits the 'underground' and 'rough-and-tumble' vibe I want Sukato to have! That and... I didn't think of anything else.
(Note: ULTRAKILL is an amazing game, and I highly recommend it!)
Genu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0IjF8Us8J4
Genu's theme is the instrumental to 'Overdrive' from part 2 of the anime 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'. This was originally going to be Sukato's theme, but I decided to hand it over to Genu due to the techno vibe. I also think it fits his calculated nature when in battle, and how his mind travels a million miles an hour, yet is filled with panic. I could pretend that the "OH NO!" represented his inner fear of failure... But honestly? I couldn't find a version without it.
Buckshot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTTmFk7WKIg
Yeah, I just beat Forgotten Land. I think this suits Buckshot thanks to its 'heavy' feeling. Like you're fighting a ruthless beast! Not much explanation here...
Rebound: https://youtu.be/rSSFtha4zIE
Finally, Rebound's theme is 'The Battle of Award 42' from A Hat In Time. I think this one conveys his tricky fighting style, and how he bounces from attack to attack! (Bu-Dum-Tish)
And there we have it! I was going to do a theme for Captain Hooker, but.
He's Captain Hooker
I couldn't think of anything
(Spoiler Alert!) I'm planning on making him a more prominent character later, so I'll come up with a theme then.
I think I want the next bonus chapter to be a Q&A, but it's unlikely that I'll get enough questions to... You know, answer. I'll make a post about it when the time comes, but if you have any ideas for question, feel free to leave them in the comments!
Welp, thanks all from me. Thanks for reading, and I'll see you all in chapter 19!
