Solomon FST
Putting this up here before handing it over to fst.
Blood+ is the story of the girl-next-door who ends up being among many other things, a mass murderer, a queen and the apple of almost every other male character's eye in the series. This FST, however, is not about her. It's about Solomon, one of the Chevaliers (a knight, in a sense) of her greatest opponent, Diva, her sister.
01. My Heart Draws A Dream {L'Arc~en~Ciel}
"This chest is drawing a dream, towards to anywhere
Fly high towards to the freedom MY HEART DRAWS A DREAM"
As a human, Solomon had only one wish: to be free of man's karma to destroy each other. Diva grants this wish to him by making him her fourth Chevalier.
02. The Queen's Knights {Naoyuki Sato}
In Blood+, Diva and Saya are the two queens of the species that terrorises the human population: the Chiropterans. Both of them have the ability to "convert" humans into Chiropteran bodyguards, or rather known as Chevaliers. Being a Chevalier, Solomon is very much, one of Diva's knights.
03. I'm in the Mood for Dancing {Tommy February6}
Fast forward to the present time line of Blood+, Saya first meets Solomon in a ball hosted by a school in Vietnam. Unaware of each other's identities, they dance together. Solomon, for the first time, is captivated by Saya.
04. We Are One {Lion King 2: Simba's Pride}
Even though Solomon realises that Saya can, and will kill his queen, he refuses to kill her on grounds that she too is a Chiropteran. Instead, he tries to coerce her into joining forces with Diva.
05. Kanau Nara {Miyano Mamoru}
"Harbouring feelings which somehow grew
I'm laughing, because I can't be honest."
Even though Saya's greatest wish is to see Diva dead, Solomon soon falls in love with her. However, the blood-bond that he shares with Diva does not allow him to stay with his beloved.
06. It's My Life {Bon Jovi}
Solomon leaves his duty as Diva's Chevalier, telling her that "This is how I've chosen to live."
07. Black is the Colour {The Corrs}
White was Solomon's trademark colour when he was serving under Diva. After becoming, in Diva's words, "the Chevalier who walked down the wrong path", he shed his white suits and took on a trendy black.
08. Yue Ding {Michael Wong}
"I love you more than before
facing the winds, I smiled too
It certainly will tell you that I love you more"
Despite his best efforts, Saya refuses to accept his help and his feelings, preferring instead to stay with her own Chevalier, Hagi. Solomon refuses to back down and constantly shows up to assist her.
09. Only Human {K}
In his quest to protect Saya and to win her hand, Solomon is forced to kill Carl, another of Diva's Chevaliers and one of his blood brothers. This act causes him much grief, raising the question of how far he has actually escaped Man's curse to kill each other.
10. Tong Hua (Fairytale) {Guang Liang}
"You said to me full of tears
Inside the fairytale are all lies
I can't possibly be your prince"
Growing impatient at Saya's constant decline of his affections, Solomon finally takes matters into his own hands and kidnaps her to try to convince her to run away with him from her quest of killing Diva. However, a timely intervention from Hagi causes his well-laid plans to fail and he is rejected again.
11. La Mia Tristezza {Suikoden II}
"Destiny is whimsical, sometimes malicious"
James, another of Diva's Chevaliers questions Solomon about his reasons for wanting to protect Saya; Solomon's only answer is that his instinct to protect Saya transcends blood- it is, in a word, destiny.
12. Belaian Jiwa {Innuendo}
"Even though my life ends...
Do you know how much I adore you?
Only angels are your substitute
Only fate determines our path"
In his weakened state and unable to transform into his full Chiropteran form, Solomon is nicked by Saya's sword coated with her blood. He swears his loyalty to her- as her Chevalier and also as a suitor- but dies soon once the potent effects of her blood seal his fate.
Extra:
13. Diva {Mark Mancina}
One of the greatest influences in Solomon's life. Despite having sworn his allegiance to Saya (later in the series), Solomon acknowledges that his respect for Diva as his creator would never fade. Also, this song is amazing...and somewhat creepy. For some.

LOOK, NAO, I USED THE SONG.
In other news, I had a yoghurt drink for supper. It tasted like Vitagen.
