Alexis Dev Parker has had it!

A music enthusiast and bonafide weeb, Alexis just can't seem to hold down a job. Sure, he's memorized a bajillion songs-popular, obscure, or niche. Sure, he's spent countless hours practicing on instruments, from common to exotic. And so what if his tastes lean a little dark and geeky? Can you blame him? Playing the villain is the BEST!

So really, there should be nothing stopping Alexis from becoming the melodious singing sensation everyone knows and loves. The next Lin-Manuel Miranda. The go-to voice for every villain with a catchy tune. But... reality is a cruel mistress. His ambitions might be grand, but his voice? Yikes.

Let's just say it leaves a lot to be desired. Raspy and painful to hear, with an accent that won't fade and a lisp that, according to everyone but him, is impossible to ignore. All of this combines into one giant roadblock, leaving poor Alexis to wither away as a starving artist, forever barred from his dreams.

And then he DIES.

Well... kinda.

A 'god' made a little oopsie and Alexis' life thread got snipped a tad bit too soon. Feeling guilty about the "oops, you're dead" thing, the god offers him a second chance in a new world with a shiny new power to boot.

Alexis, ever the dramatist, figures if he's getting an OP power-up and another shot at life, why not go for it? Why not finally make his dream come true? And hey, why not blow off some steam too? Because let's be honest-playing the villain is so much more fun~

So begins Alexis' journey through the infernal lands of the demonic kingdom. Battling (kinda), surviving (barely), and thriving (hopefully), Alexis belts out songs no one's ever heard before, leaving miraculous effects in his wake.

The stage is set, the spotlight is on, and Alexis Dev Parker is ready to rock the world!

~~~ ON THE OTHER SIDE~~~

Wrap-e-Cat's life is pretty lousy.

He’s just a lost pale cat with no home, no family, and no good magic. Seriously, his magic is awful, like, it makes everything worse. He can’t even remember who his parents are!

And being cursed? So not fun!

People hate him for no reason. His paws are always dirty, and he’s just wandering around, trying to find something that doesn’t suck. But then, he meets someone, and... well, that guy’s weird.

Something’s definitely off.

Maybe it’s not all terrible for him after all?
