MATCHING CHARACTERS TO SONGS: I DO THAT

[grantuseyes]

Hey kids, let's play a game where you post with your character(s) and you give me some basic ideas of their key attributes, narrative theme, personality/physical traits, species, etc. And I will FOR SURE link you to a song that matches your dude

I am super good at this.

Feel free to throw out song ideas of your own at others!

BONUS ROUND: if you post now you will catch me while i am fucking ripped on kief and my powers are manifested a 1000 fold

I'm sober now.

Also, swapping spotify accounts should happen too

Marcus was a punk in his natural life. He walked a disreputable path full of misdeeds and crime throughout his adolescence and young adult life. Despite this, he had an unusual respect for human life and a strong sense of justice: after the deaths that occurred at his hands, he sincerely believed his sentencing – death by lethal injection – was exactly what he deserved. He had no final words before his sentence was carried out.

Even now, he has a hard time believing he deserves to live again. It is a question that haunts him, and there are times where his hatred for himself and what he has done interfere with the scant relationships he has with humans.

Marcus is headstrong, determined and occasionally hotheaded. He executes his decisions with clear intention, even more so now that he has been integrated with cybernetics. Once he has decided he is going to do something, he will not stop until he succeeds, and it is advised to stay out of his way. He does not take obstacles lightly.

He only allows himself to get close to a select few. Once he does, he becomes fiercely defensive of them… and will do anything to protect them. He is loyal almost to a fault, and as a result is deeply affected by betrayal.

His anger can get the better of him at times. Fights with Marcus can take a grim turn: they are not over until his opponent is dead. This “termination objective” is a trait found in the Terminators, but since Marcus removed his CPU, it isn’t determinable whether this is due to his cybernetic interface or really just part of who he is. The only apparent way to stop him is a friend’s voice of reason.

He can be easily broken down by his own condition. Anything that reminds him of his brother is liable to either anger him or deeply depress him; his guilt over this incident has never fully left him, even after death. This guilt may also influence Marcus’s apparent desire to do good. Everything he does is done with the best of intentions.

Perhaps his criminal past is what influences him, but it is clear that Marcus intends to use the second chance he has been given to do things right.

Come touch me like I’m an ordinary man,
have a look in my eyes,
underneath my skin there is a violence,
it's got a gun in it's hand,

ready to make
ready to make, read-
ready to make sense of anyone, anything
anyone, anything
anyone, anything
anyone, anything
anyone, anything

Confine me let me be the lesser of a beautiful man,
without the blood on his hands,
come and make me a martyr come and break my feeling,
with your violence with the gun on my head,

ready to take,
ready to take,
ready to take,
ready to take out anyone, anywhere.
