Welcome to the world of Fortuna, a land of fantastic proportions. This is an original fantasy roleplay that takes place in a world developed over nearly a decade of work and collaboration. We aim to encourage all participants to have a hand in the stories of the characters here, and the world around them. Your choices are key - so make them with pride. You decide who wins the wars, you decide who becomes King, the world is ours, and together we will bring it to life!
While I do non-RPing work on Fortuna, I like to listen to Spotify, and sometimes I come across songs that make me think of certain characters or scenes... So I started making character playlists! Hopefully those who these are for like the songs I've picked out and don't think I'm straight crazy... I'll post more as I make them -- and you're welcome to post your own favorite songs for characters!
Tehodis and Endless have a relationship where they protect each other a lot. This song captured some of the optimism of their relationship that was captured in the Feywild.
This song is pretty much about a man who can't take no for an answer, which describes Woodrow's interactions with Tehodis pretty well. He's fascinated with her, and she hasn't invited him.
Tehodis is going through a pretty hard time, and as she's at her lowest, Kiku comes and brings an incredibly bright light into her life. It's made her see that maybe it's possible to want to be around someone else a whole lot more.
After Keeks mentioned this in the cbox, I thought it made sense that his mother might have had a music box, or maybe she hummed this tune to him as a child.
We all know Kikuriku is a bit of a shameless flirt, and when I heard this song go from how to starts, to how jammin' it got, it just felt to fit that part of Kiku.
Growing up in Muerte under Harel rule can be pretty rough. I imagine that Kiku's had his fair share of troubles beyond that described in his history, and likely also recognizes the troubles that others face, too.
I like this song for Kiku's action music. Him and Charlotte beating up Xankwiles, that kind of thing... But also when he just can't resist a little thievery.
Kiku's got a bit of a hero's attitude, despite his occasionally "foolish" overconfidence and his thievery. This song spoke to me in particular from the way he reacted to hearing about Woodrow's involvement in Tehodis' missing arm... But it also works with his lost Mouseling friend, and his mother.
This version specifically had a bit of a playful Kiku-ness to it, and I figured if I picked a little romantic tune for Tehodis to Kiku, I'd pick the same on Kiku's end... Hopefully you dig this one, Keeks.
So a. I think this song is beautiful as all get out... But I also found it spoke Endless to me. There's a tie into the Moonborn-ness, the touch of love that came from Khades' love with Temos, and the adventurousness that has lead Endless to traverse a lot of the world in such a short life. There's a need to fulfill an unknown destiny - which feels like the song. Particularly at the end, it's so active, and marching - and busy. Overwhelming... Just as Endless is overwhelmed usually.
This beautiful musical theatre song connects so much a lot of Endless' like nothing is for me but especially not the pretty boy that's flirting with him.
This song captures that overthinking that Endless often finds himself in, but also that romantic innocence that comes across in scenes with Simon, or even Rill in the Feywild scenes. There's this romantic aspect that Endless just is for me, that no one else has on the site. Pure innocence of what it is, should be, and what he wants out of it... And what he thinks he deserves.
This song deals with Endless' destiny. He's going to die if things go the way they go for most Moonborn. He can live his life as much as he wants... But when the moon calls him - can he refuse?
These are VERY cool! I am just listening to the first list right now, but I was wondering if you could make them into actual Spotify playlists I can just jump into, I want to listen to them all but I have to click everything open individually uwu
