Silsasym, Very Competent Investigator
Basics
pathfinder 1E, redwater campaign, portal seeker investigator, level 6
Playlist
Modelled after the checklist in this blog post!
Song 1: Theme Song | The Fall - halfalive
It's pretty excrucriating to share your ideas with the world, huh? Silsasym is pretty familiar with the
creative process and with trying to get people to LISTEN to their (brilliant-to-them) ideas. I think it also
hints nicely at how there's more to them than JUST being annoying and talking too much.
Also, it's a pretty suiting song for beginnings, like the beginning of this playlist ;)
Song 2: How they view themself | TAPED - Naaz
They are aware that they're a bit much and a bit offputting and come across as silly. They notice that others
often don't take them as serious as they might like them to. But that's fine, THEY like who they are! They
wouldn't want to switch their brain for anyone elses! (... most of the time)
Song 3: How they view the rest of the world | ... I don't have one for that
Why have a view on the rest of the world when you could also be self-obsessed?
... no, I just didn't find anything yet.
Song 4: Relationship with another character | Monster - dodie AND would you be so kind - dodie
"Monster" is about Myr and Sil. They get on each others nerves and disagree a lot. Most of the time, they only
bicker back and forth for a bit. But there's the potential for their conflicts to get a bit more serious.
And they're both easy to provoke and don't always know when to stop.
"Would you be so kind" is about Sil and Lotta. It's about Sil courting Lotta, flirting a little and trying to
find out if she's into it. (They're together now, so I'd say yes)
Song 5: What they want | Hallelujah - Oh Wonder
They just wanna Be Someone. A real special cookie. Become Something, yknow? Want to have Made It.
Myr's player actually recommended this one to me as a Sil song and it sticked.
Song 6: What's important to them | Someday - Naaz
... yeah. They wanna Be Someone. A real special cookie. A lot of their songs are kinda like that, huh? They
have this ambition, but can't really seem to actually GET somewhere. But one day, surely, they shall succeed.
They're just an underdog!
Song 7: What they hate | The entertainment's here - AJR
Others see them as goofy, they wouldn't change their brain for anything in the world - but also, could people
maybe STOP and really look closely for a second??
They're not just the court jester, they're not just there to lighten the mood. They ARE genuinely quite
skilled in a lot of things and can have profound insights into situations.
Song 8: Ass-Kicking Song | Pirate Manners - Bossfight
Now, Sil didn't take that 1 level swashbuckler dip that's so popular for investigators. But I think a bit of
bravado still suits them. Also it's a fun tune. Bleep bloop bleep.
Song 9: An event in their life | Detective Detective - Static-P
All of this happened. Exactly. Don't ask me where the cars are hidden in this medieval-ish fantasy setting.
... No. They're just a detective and have probably witnessed SOME detectiving. Or heard grand stories from
their teachers.
In any case, Sil WISHES they were as cool as this.
Song 10: "Origin" Song | Smother - Daughter
Another entry to the "a lot" characterization streak. They don't WANT to be overbearing and chase people away
by being too self-centered. They aren't even thinking that fondly of themself! The facade sure is there, but
that's mostly them craving validation because of lacking self-esteem.
Song 11: End Credit Song | The Good Part - AJR
They will keep striving. Fall down, get back up. At some point, they WILL get to the good part. It has to
exist somewhere, their life WILL be grander than right now. Only, they are so very impatient, could it please
be NOW already??
Song 12: BONUS SONG | BLENDER - 5 Seconds of Summer
When this song comes on in my roommate's car, I always go "HAH that's SO Sil". Just exactly their flavor of
emotional mess, hah.
