Just a quick question for everyone~ Music has always been an interest of mine as well as others taste in music. It gives such epic and upbeat moments for some situations the character may face, eerie chills in dark situations, or relaxing and peaceful moments.

Currently, my favorite character theme is Franky's from the Anime series One Piece. Please, take a listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxONYJw9QVw

Oh- That's a hard one. And- shouldn't this be under the Entertainment section though?

But anyway- hmm... I can't pick just one.
So, I'll narrow it down to a few of my favs.

Naturally, I like dark characters, so expect a lot of villains. xD
---(and this is in no particular order)

Teen Titans - Raven & Kyd Wykkyd
Avatar (series) - Zuko-(with his hair grown out and down), Vaatu, Huan, (there might be more- Haven't seen all of Korra yet)
Yu-Gi-Oh - Marik Ishtar, Bakura (dark)
Soul Eater - Asura, Stein, Medusa, Spirit
M.A.R. - Phantom, Rolan
D.Gray-Man Arystar Krory III, Tyki Mikk, Cross Marian
Deadman Wonderland - Senji Kiyomasa, Azuma Genkaku
FMA - Pride-(from Brotherhood), 'Father'/Imp in the flask, Greed(in Ling), Ling, Scar
Mario Series - Bowser
Pokemon - Morty/Matsuba, Koga/Kyo, James/Kojiro
Off - The Batter [true form], Dedan, The Judge, Meat-river Monsters


...That's all I can think of right off the bat... But there's many more. xD
I really can't think of any other characters that stand out in my mind at the moment, but if I do, I'll update. :P

Nagisa's theme from the anime Clannad. Just listening to it is enough to bring on the feels...

I'm not sure on a single track I could call my favourite but the first one that popped into my head, which is arguably one of the most iconic character themes in gaming, is Sephiroth's Theme, One Winged Angel. It's pretty funky. :D

How did I forget this one? this is my actual favorite. A beautiful little adagio march for everyone's favorite amoral psychopath.

I love the Teen Gohan theme from DBZ. It's so epic and uplifting. I even listen it when I'm at the gym lifting weights, lol :P. Gives me energy.

I love Ben's theme from Lost, the creepy one that makes you just feel like something's wrong

Also the Joker's theme from Dark Knight, like those strings that are just so ominous

Also of course Geno's theme, it's so beautiful and cheerful and maybe I'm biased cause I love Geno

Linebeck's theme is pretty cool

But probably my all time favorite, wouldn't really be for a specific character, but for a whole area. The Shire theme, from LotR. That flute... so peaceful... so pretty... I love it

I like Fi's theme. Fi's theme is good.
I also like any of KI:U's character themes (Magnus's, Dark Pit's, Dog's, etc.).
The Xing characters' theme from FMA:B is pretty cool, I guess.
The Storm Eagle theme from Megaman X is awesome as well.
Professor Sycamore's theme kicks ***.

This is really hard, but I'm ultimately gonna have to go with Davy Jones theme from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and At World's End.

Aside from the musicbox part, which is actually more of theme for the Jones/Calypso love story, the entire song is really sinister and epic. It really represents Davy Jones' character very well. I absolutely love the pipe organ intro, and then how it transitions into a full symphonic arrangement complete with intense, banging drums in the background. It's an all around amazing theme, Hans Zimmer really is a genius.

Two variations

Honorable mention goes to the classic Uruk-Hai theme (Isengard Theme) from The Lord of the Rings series, as well as In Dreams (The Shire Theme).
