Agent theme songs.
Not literally, though I have thought about writing some lyrics concerning the Notary, which would not be repeatable on a family-friendly message board like this'un. However, I think each agent that we write has their own little character music in the background. What are yours? If it doesn't technically speaking exist yet (and you do not have access to a good non-Euclidean music streaming service), just describe it and I'll do m'best to find something. =]

Agent Wobbles (There is perhaps an irony in her theme music being 8-bit, but w/e)
Agent Notary (It was this or Philip Glass)
For Agent Jay I'd suggest something by either Rammstein or Megaherz.
For some reason, I really want to have someone going about their PPC agent business "Red Like Roses Part 2" (from ^RWBY^, anyone know that series?) plays in the background.

Corolla: A silly Vocaloid song, I guess? Never found a song tha exacly fits her
Nikki: God Knows from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiEDIrFj3Cs)
Sergio: Hmmm... tricky question. Kalafina's Manten (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWKa5c_AlV0) or Aozora No Namida (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DtBVRdVbMs)? His life is divided nealty in "phases" so there's basically a sogn for each.
Christianne's has been "Love, Save The Empty" by Erin McCarley since I figured out her backstory.
Eledhwen's is "Stray Italian Greyhound" by Vienna Teng. To be honest I think she's the type of person who would listen to Vienna Teng, and that's not even because I love Vienna Teng. Her lyrics are thought-provoking and her her voice is heavenly.
The Disentangler's is probably "C'mon" by Panic! at the Disco and fun., because it's so upbeat.
The Agent's is likely to be "The Lazy Song" by Bruno Mars because he is a lazy slob who eats a lot (in this regeneration).
Additionally, the Agent and the Disentangler's relationship is summed up in "Do You Want To Build A Snowman" from Frozen. Except it'd be:
Dis: Adil! Do you wanna stalk the Deca? Let's go see what Thete will do! I'm bored here in the Academy, come on and play with me, don't be a fool!
Adil: Lachesis, I'm studying.
And, since we're talking about relationships, Christianne and Eledhwen's is "Dust to Dust" by the Civil Wars.
Because I heard something I was sure was Christianne and Eledhwen's theme a while ago, and it's a bit different to the one you picked. I'm not casting aspersions on your choice, don't get me wrong, I'm just saying that this was a bit odd.
If you're interested, the song is Walk The Road by Kate Rusby. =]
I bet they could have more than one song about their relationship, no?
Speaking of which, "Little Talks" by Of Monsters and Men would also fit the Disentangler and the Agent. It's the voices; I imagine that's what their voices sound like.
For Agent Doc, it would be Barnard Herrmann's "The Reading" from the soundtrack of the awful, awful Fahrenheit 451 movie. It's a nice, fade-into-the-background sound, just as Doc can fade into the background while he's reading.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Drg85X-govMI might have said "I Am a Rock" by Simon & Garfunkel, but Neshomeh already used it for Agent Supernumerary, and I refuse to use a hand-me-down song.
Vania has one, for sure, but I'm not sharing it. It would be a spoiler for her storyline. (As though anyone is paying attention to my spin-off anyway, hurr hurr.)
...because we're on the same wavelength. *Is hit over the head by a rubber chicken*
Bad physics jokes aside, I've actually been thinking of this lately. Allow me to share some of my ideas for my upcoming agents:
Patrol Officer Fire Flash: Earth pony from Equestria, formerly generic castle guard until she described herself to life. She loves a good scrap, and this seemed appropriate.
Patrol Officer Taldaris: Protoss High Templar from the doomed planet Aiur. A slow, haunting theme for a 500-year old agent with limitless patience for his partner's antics.
Special Response Officer Terabyte: (Spoiler text, highlight -->)Reaper-upgraded Geth unit, platform manufactured on Rannoch a few months after the Morning War. A robotic tune for a robotic agent.
Special Response Officer Naya'Keegan vas Iktomi: A young quarian markswoman who lived nearly her entire life on board the Migrant Fleet. A catchy tune for a cheerful and happy-go-lucky personality.
Special Response Officer "The Guardsman" Real name Emiranlanoamar, a Time Lord soldier who survived the Time War. A theme that evokes wonder and adventure for the resident wide-eyed optimist.
Agent Derik
Agents Supernumerary and Ilraen (See if you can guess which tracks apply to which agent!)
See also: Fanmix on PPC Wiki, where you can find a bunch of PPC-inspired mix albums. (I keep meaning to make a track list of all the music mentioned in the Original Series, but I keep putting it off for some reason. Someday, though, someday....)
~Neshomeh
Anebrin probably has Lament of the Highborne as a theme. Suits his sad, broken Elvish state.
Agent!Des...? Hm. HoMM III's Fortress Theme fits. It's quiet and slow at first, explodes into action, then settles down again.
Librarian... I don't know. He's this elitist, snarky, posh guy. He's after knowledge. Any suggestion?
I've never really thought about it, but I guess Agent Miah would be Rob Zombie, possibly branching out to others in the same genre.
Cali...maybe The Dubliners (I know they sang and played stuff ranging from somber to raunchy to "make you want to dance," but that just gives him more moods to choose from.)
Unger--something suitably heroic and epic like "The Ride of the Valkyries"
Kelok is kind of a harder one to think about. He's definitely not human, even though his home!fic made him much more human than he should be. He's kind of a nervous type, so something soothing--definitely none of that nature sounds with ocean waves stuff, though (bad memories for him). Maybe something with strings or maybe chanting. I'm not really sure on him. (of course he could turn out to just love pop.)
Oh brother, now I am going to have to write him having only listened to Classical and chanting and then hearing pop for the first time and loving it. :P (You have no idea how funny the image of Kelok dancing Gangnam Style is in my head right now.)
I don't have theme songs for my agents persay. I do however have a theme tune for each of the fourteen main characters that exist in my original story, which Apollo comes from. Apollo's can be found here -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWgNr7D0Cg0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH8Kb8bRzBI
