[ARC-COU] Mariah Ain't Got Nothin' On You

ARCCOUs! To celebrate getting together again, we’re throwing a party. And not just any party, but an ARCCOU party! So we can't just play regular old jizz hit jams. We request your help in throwing together a playlist of music to play at the event!

Objective:

For this competition, create a playlist of at least three (3) songs with a minimum one (1) sentence description that, if they existed in the Star Wars universe, your character would listen to or have playing for a party/reunion! You may also address this from an Out of Character standpoint and make a playlist of songs that would match the character for writing during the party.

The songs you pick should have some kind of meaning to your character, and touch on their Personality, Combat, or General Aspects that would be found on a Character Sheet or Wikipedia article. You can be as detailed or simple as you want. You can simply list the songs your character would have on this playlist with short reasoning, or you can go into more detail and tell me more about why you think the songs are fitting to them.

Use the Template provided below to meet or manually match the following requirements:

  • Link to the Character Sheet/Wiki.
  • Contain a minimum of 3 songs.
  • Explain each song choice in a minimum of one (1) sentence.
  • Submitted as either PDF/Word Document, or using the Text/Markdown field in the competition.

Template: 

**[Character Name]**(Link To Character Sheet/Wiki)

(Optional) [Youtube Playlist](Link-to-youtube-playlist)

1. [*Song*](link to Youtube/Media)* - **Artist** -- Optional Text/Explanation
2. [*Song*](link to Youtube/Media)* - **Artist** -- Optional Text/Explanation
3. [*Song*](link to Youtube/Media)* - **Artist** -- Optional Text/Explanation

Grading:

  • Judges will analyze the relevance of the songs to your Character’s Aspects (Combat, Personality, or even just in General) and how well the playlist paints an overall picture of your character.
  • While a Character Sheet is not required to participate, you will need an approved Character Sheet to place. This is to have some basis for grading, with apologies to all the wonderful characters we know and love from writing/RPs that don't have CSs yet.
  • Grading will be primarily considering creativity, flow of the playlist, and level of detail used to explain song choices that have been selected, with consideration for the spelling/grammar in those explanations.
  • Entries that do not provide a minimum one (1) sentence description for the song choice will not be eligible for placement but will still be accepted for participation.

Scoring

  • 1st place will receive 5 points
  • 2nd place will receive 4 points
  • 3rd place will receive 3 point
  • Participation will earn 1 point.

**[Kobign Settgre]**(https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/character_sheets/17824)

I present to you not only good holiday songs for a party, but what both provokes the fictional writing for Mister Settgre.
All in all, serving a gay life day with romance, glitter, and intrigue.

1. [*All I want for Christmas is you*](https://youtu.be/Qlpnt-6HQZo)* - **Steve Grand** -- There's nothing more for one person to want but their significant other to be there with them for the holidays. While Kobign may have not initially accepted the +1 invite to go with Jax to this reunion between the clans, he quickly regretted that choice as longing for his man who's now across the star systems set in. The only thing stopping him from hopping on a shuttle is himself. So, cue his 'Life Day Letter' being answered by a call about glitter desperation to get his butt in gear. (also ;-; the music video is just so them.)
2. [*Christmas Wrapping*](https://youtu.be/nud2TQNahaU)* - **The Waitresses** -- Okay, okay, so not only I could see this being a bop at a holiday party, but hear me out and my wild interpretation. Song's about stress and hardships with relationships? Got a bit of a downer, not feeling the holiday spirit too much. (aye I know there's a positive end, wait a minute). Last wintery season, Kobign was stuck up in a blizzard murdering a pal of his and officially turning traitor to his unaware as of yet collective buds, cue an investigation and having to fess up to the DIA, striking a deal to help them find the identities of other sleeper agents in Dajorra. The man's super stressed and paranoid, trying to keep the folks he care about safe from both this splintered cell of Collective agents and from the clan themself. He has no energy to go partying. To make matters worse, his collective handler has popped out of the blue after pausing operations("going dark") with the first mission since then, charging him to try and make contact with another sect of agents(context, since the Collective retreated, the deep infiltrated unit hasn't had any contact to the greater collective, so this would be the first outside contact is successful). So, Kob needs a reason to invite himself back along in order to play the part and again Jax's glittergate gives him that in. BUT I'm 100% imagining Jax picking up some shifted vibes, being pretty attuned to the usually carefully manipulated facade of Kobign. The man inquired a 'credit for his thoughts' and attempted to offering him an out of the event, perhaps a suggestive one(owo). Temptation, that Kob would much wish to follow.
3. [*Baby, It's Cold Outside.*](https://youtu.be/X-pLAw_Ayj8)* - **Mister Chase & Chris Salvatore** -- So, above where I mentioned Jax picking up on Kob's vibes, checking in and offering outs/distraction. Well yes, exactly that for this song. :P

1. [*Santa Baby*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk_GmhD053E&ab_channel=EarthaKittVEVO)* - **Eartha Kitt** -- What's a young Twi'lek to do to get ahead in life when all she has to her name is her looks and a slave collar around her neck?

2. [*Varpunen Jouluaamuna*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BmoafN_nGo&ab_channel=FinJohnnyK)* - **Suvi Teräsniska* -- Sparrow on a Winter Morn, tells the story of a young girl feeding a small sparrow on a cold winter morning, the sparrow turning out to be the angel of her deceased little brother. Original poem by Zacharias Topelius circa 1859, written in memory of his 1 year old son who passed away the prior spring.

Now the white snow fell, fell on birches and lindens.
Frozen is the clear lake, waiting for the spring winds.
Little sparrow, poor sparrow, ate up his summer stash.
Frozen is the clear lake, waiting for the spring winds.

At the door of the green cottage stood a little girl:
- Little sparrow, come as before, a grain come to peck!
Now Christmas is in every shed, sparrow purple, gray and ugly.
Little sparrow, come as before, a grain come to peck!

The sparrow flew to the girl's foot, flew on happy wings:
- I will gladly accept the grain, the grain that you bring.
God will reward him who is here the friend of the poor.
I will gladly accept the grain, the grain that you bring.

- I am not who you think, because your eye is watering.
I am your little brother, who died last spring.
When you cheerfully offered your bread to the poor in need,
you invited your little brother, who died last spring.

3. [*Baby It's Cold Outside*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYRd1yJnv3k&ab_channel=MauAcheron)* - **Idina Menzel** -- Now Tali is ready for some toying with Strong at Sithmas time, including playing coy though she'd love to spend the night by a roaring fireplace.
