DACS Greatest Hits

If the Assassins were living today and had to perform one song on stage (I don’t necessarily mean stripping), what do you think it would be? Or in case that’s too hard to answer, what kind of music in general would they enjoy and be likely to perform? I know it’s a weird question, sorry… But I’d be happy if you could answer it :)

March 25, 2016

Altaïr: I’m thinking he’d do something similar to that sort of Middle Eastern chant you hear in the morning, like in a mosque or an Eastern Orthodox church, but a little more modern. So maybe something kinda like him doing a cover of Dead Can Dance songs or just Lisa Gerrard.

Connor: Anything by Nickels and Bones, no questions asked. I mean Noah Watts’s singing voice? That’s literally Connor’s right there~

Edward: Sea shanties, of course. Although he’d probably go all Celtic punk with it lol

Arno: He’d do the whole romantic French guy full on aha. He’d do a romantic rock cover of C’est Si Bon~

Jacob: Dangerous Game from Jekyll & Hyde, the musical. He’d do the whole sexual touchy-felly Mr. Hyde act on stage, too, with whomever the poor unfortunate soul is on stage with him. XD

Shao Jun: This song from Mulan sorry I can’t resist. XD

Aveline: Sorry to pick another Disney song, but I have to~ Aveline would sing something from The Princess and the Frog.

Rebecca Crane: Something by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts.

Ezio: Minstrel songs…in the minstrel outfit….

 

~ Ezio Auditore


This may reveal my musical interests (and my old age oh my goodness) more than anything, so I hope you don’t mind, my dearest anon!

Desmond: Take On Me by A-Ha. Idk I just see him as someone who would love to sing 80′s songs. And you know he can totally reach that high note. XD

Altaïr: Killer by Adamski & Seal. That bass and beat is something a Master Assassin would want to accompany him while he’s stalking his target tbh.

Ezio: Just Another Day by Jon Secada. Imagine that husky Italian-accented voice singing an acoustic version of this song, mwahaha.

Connor: Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins. I totally see him loving Top Gun tbh. ~/o/ Alternatively, a male rendition of Hello by Adele. The feels, oh my God. I mean, you don’t even need to have a sad backstory to accompany this; just hearing Connor sing it is heartbreaking. ;A;

Aveline: Dangerous by Roxette. Hey, if she and Connor would share the stage she would totally sing this. 8D

Edward: The Wild Boys by Duran Duran. Chorus might be a little too high for him, but I think he’d totally kill it. 8D

Adéwalé: The Unforgiven by Metallica. The somber tone fits him, personally.

Shay: Another One Bites The Dust by Queen. I can totally see him singing this while slaying those damned Assassins in their weekly Assassin VS Templar karaoke nights. *coughs*

Haytham: You Know My Name by Chris Cornell. Yes, a James Bond theme for our most James Bond-like character in the AC universe. Ehem. And idek I think Haytham would look AWESOME in those opening credits (which is still my favourite to this day goddamn)

Arno: Stay (Faraway, So Close!) by U2. Another somber tone (with a bit of an existentialism) that fits him, IMO. Alternatively, Angels By Robbie Williams.

Shao Jun: Rush, Rush by Paula Abdul. I don’t even have an explanation, I just want her to sing this. XD;

Arbaaz: Gold By Spandau Ballet. I just want him to sing something inspiring tbh. XD;

Evie: Everybody Wants To Rule The World by Lorde. Although I adore the original Tears For Fears version, I can totally hear Evie singing Lorde’s rendition and killing it.

Jacob: Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana. HOW CAN I NOT. THAT SONG IS TOTALLY JACOB. And I’m getting all flustered imagining Jacob screaming the lyrics (rocker!Jacob is totally a personal weakness). Alternatively: Well, Closer by Nine Inch Nails is already taken as his stripper song, but I think he’d still sing it 8D

I’m going with a more modern approach for each assassin, so imagine a Karaoke night with all these songs we have for you here! Also, you will find that I have a very… eclectic taste in music, hope you like it. Alright, here we go:

Desmond: Alphabet Aerobics by Blackalicious. I’m thinking Desmond likes Rap, R&B and related genres. He’s very good at Freestyle too!

Altair: Viva la Vida by ColdPlay. Altair’s sultry voice singing this… oh yes. Plus, it describes him.

Ezio: Rock your Body by Justin Timberlake. I mean doesn’t this scream Ezio all over? Plus I can see him dancing his way too.

Connor: Renegades by X Ambassadors. I’m thinking Connor would be into most types of rock and I feel this song fits him very well.

Aveline: Empire by Shakira. I think Aveline has the vocals to sing this song and it sounds like her too.

Edward: Conquistador by 30 seconds to Mars. I think he would enjoy some rock from time to time and the strength of this songs speaks Edward all over.

Adéwalé: Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. Modern headcanon: Adé really loves MJ’s songs and dances to them freely. Believe me.

Shay: In the Dark by 3 Doors Down. I really like this song and I think Shay would deliver a great performance. Plus is sexy too.

Haytham: The way you look tonight by Frank Sinatra, sung by Tony Bennett. Haytham’s sultry and smooth voice, with a slow song. Sign me up!

Arno: Sugar by Maroon 5. It’s sweet, it’s cute and it’s romantic. It’s just like our French baguette named Arno.

Shao Jun: Titanium by David Guetta ft. Sia. Shao Jun may look like the quiet type, but I bet she can pull out these vocals just fine.

Arbaaz: Rap God by Eminem. Love the song and yes, Arbaaz voice would so ace this. I think he would like it too.

Evie: Castle by Halsey. It’s mysterious, but a strong song and I think it represents Evie as well.

Jacob: Angel of Small Death & The Codeine Scene by Hozier, because I love this song, and imagining Jacob singing it gives me the chills. Good Lord…
