Strumming For The Dark Throne In Another World
Alexis Dev Parker had had it!
A music enthusiast and bonafide weeb, Alexis just couldn't seem to hold a job. Sure, he'd memorized bajillion songs; popular, obscure, or niche. Sure, he'd spent countless hours practicing on instruments, from common to exotic. And so what if his tastes leaned a little dark and geeky? Could you blame him? Playing the villain was the BEST!
So really, there should’ve been nothing stopping Alexis from becoming the melodious singing sensation everyone knew and loved. The next Lin-Manuel Miranda. The go-to voice for every villain with a catchy tune. But... reality was a cruel mistress. His ambitions might’ve been grand, but his voice? Yikes.
Let's just say it left a lot to be desired. Raspy and painful to hear, with an accent that wouldn't fade and a lisp that, according to everyone but him, was impossible to ignore. All of this combined into one giant roadblock, leaving poor Alexis to wither away as a starving artist, forever barred from his dreams.
And then he DIED.
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 offered him a second chance in a new world with a shiny new power to boot.
Alexis, ever the dramatist, figured if he was 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 here has ever heard before, leaving miraculous effects in his wake.
The stage is set, the spotlight is was on, and Alexis Dev Parker is ready to rock the world!

~~~ ON THE OTHER SIDE~~~
Wrap-e-Cat's life was pretty lousy.
He was just a lost pale cat with no home, no family, and no good magic. Seriously, his magic was awful, like, it made everything worse. He couldn’t even remember who his parents were!
And being cursed? So not fun!
People hated him for no reason. His paws were always dirty, and he was just wandering around, trying to find something that didn’t suck. But then, he met someone, and... well, that guy was weird.
Something was definitely off.
Maybe it was not all terrible for him after all?
