ChoShadow
That One Fear In My Enemy's Eyes
Hey guys, ChoShadow here!
I am a composer of music (mainly orchestra though I dabble in electronic as well), and I put an offer out a good while ago for anyone wanting a theme composed for either an RP or a character. I'm now reviving that offer.
This offer is free, and I extend it to you because I love composing music. My reward for this is that the music I compose for your RP or your Original Character will become part of my music portfolio, and that's enough for me.
So if you'd like a free RP Main Theme or an Original Character Theme constructed for your RP or Character, this is the thread to be on!
To give an example of an RP Theme, this is the Main Theme for an RP which I've created called Dragon Ball: Kyūkyoku
If you'd like more examples of the music I compose, please feel free to visit my SoundCloud page to listen to other pieces I've written.
And please be aware that I have multiple types of software which I use to compose, some of which sound MUCH BETTER than others. You'll hear the difference if you listen to the "Dragon's Revenge" Playlist, 90% of which was composed in notation software instead of dedicated music composition/editing software.
___________________________________________________________
So here are my offers for both an RP Main Theme and a Character Theme, and the caveats which go with them:
RP Main Theme Request
* If you request a Main Theme for your RP, you must provide me with the following details:
Once you are happy with one of the melodies I provide you, I will get to work proper. When and if we get that far, please be prepared to wait patiently until the theme is complete. And when I say "wait patiently," I mean it. If you hound me every couple days asking "Where is the theme?" "Where is the theme?" I will stop working on it entirely and inform you of my displeasure with your impatience and lack of courtesy before dropping your theme from my list of projects. So don't be that guy/girl who is so eager to hear the theme that you're constantly bugging me. My process requires solitude and space, so if you're not prepared to give me that then don't bother asking for a theme.
I will be providing your theme for you in stages and asking along the way if what you think I'm doing is working. If it is, I'll keep pushing forward. If not, I'll continue to rework it until you are satisfied.
Thank you!
Character Theme Request
* Character themes are even harder than RP Main Themes because the character has much more going on within themselves than an entire global RP idea. Some of you may be wondering what the flying fig newton I'm talking about. Allow me to explain.
A global RP Main Theme is a theme for the entire RP. I find a central concept related to the RP, create a melody, and build a theme from that melody. The melody in question encompasses the entirety of the RP. A romantic RP will have a romantic, slow, tranquil theme. An action RP will have a fast paced and more dramatic and empowering feel. And a tragic RP will have a slower, agonizing, mournful quality. But it's a single idea which encompasses the whole.
A character, because the human mind and heart are so complex, is much harder to do.
I will require the following information from you regarding your character:
I need to know everything about the character in question, and that means everything. I need to know the following (as well as anything else you can provide for me) as a start:
The above is just a SMALL list of things I'll need to know about this character. I don't want you holding anything back. The less information you provide for me, the less likely the theme will be to truly capture who this character is and tell their story.
Because that's what a Character Theme Request is: You're asking me to musically tell your character's story from start to finish. The more I have to work with, the more I can make the music match the tale of your character and truly show to the world through the power of sound what your character is like inside. Even if they live with a facade, the music will tell the world the truth.
As with the RP Main Theme Requests, if you contact me about this please be prepared to wait several days before I send your a First Glance of the theme. And once the theme has been decided upon, please wait until I am finished with your theme. As with the RP Main Theme pieces, I will be delivering your theme to you in stages asking about whether or not you think what I'm doing is working with respect to musically telling your character's story.
This will be a very long process, and it could take up to a month or more for me to complete it depending on just how detailed you were in giving me information about your character.

RP Main Theme Request
* If you request a Main Theme for your RP, you must provide me with the following details:
- A link to the RP's main page where I can read the synopsis/story to get an idea of what the RP is about.
- A link to the RP's Character Page where I can read up on all the characters currently involved (Please tell me if any players have dropped from the RP so I know not to bother reading their character profiles).
- A written description via a private message (NOT a reply on this thread) of what your vision as the GM of the RP is and where the RP is going.
Once you are happy with one of the melodies I provide you, I will get to work proper. When and if we get that far, please be prepared to wait patiently until the theme is complete.

- who their parents are
- where their parents met
- how their parents fell in love or didn't and had a kid anyway
- when your character was born
- do they have siblings
- if so, who are those siblings
- if not, why not
- where they grew up
- who they grew up around
- their first friend
- their first rival/enemy
- their educational background
- their social environment while growing up
- the political climate while growing up
- who was/is in charge politically
- what nations/peoples does your character hold any social/political animosity for
- what nations/peoples does your character like and support
- who was your character's first crush
- who is their current love/significant other/spouse
- if they're an adult, do they have kids
- if so, who are their children
