College of Song and Story

Echo House, corner room. Best acoustics on campus. Worst bat problem on campus.

// THE LOOK

Messy black hair streaked ember-orange, always shoved back. Long glossy black horns that hook at the tips and have scraped every doorframe in Echo House. Half-lidded molten amber eyes that glow like coals when he plays. A permanent smirk with a flash of fang. Tattoo sleeves of flames, bats and roses. Small leathery wings that flare when he's annoyed, and a long spade-tipped tail that keeps time to whatever song is in his head.

Wears: side-cut black tanks, shorts over leggings, barefoot indoors. Goes out in ripped jeans, platform boots, a studded jacket covered in band patches, and a spiked choker. Picks in every pocket.

// VIBE CHECK

Too-cool punk. Deadpan. Allergic to taking anything seriously, except music, which he takes extremely seriously. Practices for hours and forgets to eat. Complains constantly about the bats, classes and mornings, and changes absolutely nothing. Criticize his guitar and he'll listen. Criticize his lyrics at your own risk.

// TRACKLIST

01. Prodigy Guitarist (faculty call him the best string player in years)

02. Arcane Strings (his playing can lift a mood, calm a panic or set a crowd on fire)

03. Ember-Sound (riffs that throw real, harmless sparks)

04. Runs Hot (fire-resistant, never cold, sees in the dark)

05. Bat Whisperer (unwilling)

06. Lyrics (skip this one)
