🕯️ The Devil’s Songbird 🕯️
A modern supernatural music mystery RP
(Accepting – Semi-literate+ – 17+ in-character)

Six years ago, Victoria “Tori” O’Connor had it all — the voice of a generation, a budding music empire, and blood ties to one of New York’s most infamous families. But the night before her 18th birthday, she vanished.

No farewell tour. No press release. Just silence.

The world moved on. Sort of.

Now, a single video surfaces on StreamVerse. One voice, one song. Stripped down. Raw. Unmistakable.

She goes by Echo V. now — and the world starts whispering again:
“She’s back.”
But she isn’t the same. And neither is the world she left behind.

---

🌒 Setting
Modern-day New York City, where music is magic — literally.
Underground shows. Shifter-run record labels. Vampiric talent scouts. Fae soul contracts.
Every voice hides a story. Every lyric might be a spell.

---

🎤 Roles Open:
You could be...
• A producer from her past
• A fan chasing the mystery
• A rival with your own demons
• A vampire manager chasing a contract
• A bodyguard sworn to her family
• A friend... or someone who made her run

The spotlight’s on. The secrets are humming.

🎶 Will you help her finish the song?

It was just after midnight when the video dropped.

No announcement. No teasers. Just a single upload to a half-dead StreamVerse channel called @EchoV_music — no profile pic, no banner, barely five followers.

But within minutes… the right people noticed.

The video was raw — dimly lit, one take, no filters. A woman sat on the edge of a hotel bed, cradling a weathered acoustic guitar. Her hair was pulled into a loose braid, and a hoodie hung off her shoulder like she’d forgotten she was being filmed. She didn’t introduce herself. Didn’t smile. Just let the music pour out.

The song was a stripped-down, soul-drenched version of an old track that had once climbed charts when the world still remembered the name Victoria O’Connor. The voice was older now, huskier — but achingly familiar.

A voice the industry lost.
A voice some said had died.
A voice others swore they could still hear in dreams.

By morning, the comment section was chaos.

“IS THIS WHO I THINK IT IS??”
“Tori?? No way. She’s dead.”
“That voice… I’d know it anywhere.”
“This gave me chills. Straight up chills.”
“She’s back.”

No press release. No label push.
Just a girl, a song, and the ghosts she’d tried to bury.

And across New York — in smoky lounges, shifter-run studios, fae-drenched nightclubs, and vampire-owned record offices — people stirred.

Some wanted her found.
Some wanted her silenced.
And others… just wanted one more chance to hear her sing.

---

Your character could be…

• Watching the video at home, shocked

• In a club where the song is already being whispered about

• A producer who recognizes that voice

• A supernatural with a connection to the name O’Connor

• Someone from her past — or someone ready to shape her future

Wherever they are, the music has begun again.
The Devil’s Songbird has returned.

Who will answer the call?

📜 Rules

🌙 1. Follow Eve’s Rules
This RP takes place on WolfPlay, so all official forum rules set by Eve must be followed. That includes respecting content limits, keeping things appropriate, and treating everyone with kindness and respect.

🎭 2. Semi-Literate to Literate
Please write at least 3–5 full sentences per post. Give others something to work with. Quality over quantity is welcome — just make sure your posts move the scene forward and give others room to reply.

🗣️ 3. Dialogue & Formatting
Use quotation marks for speech and italics for internal thoughts or lyrics. Keep it clear and easy to follow.
Example:
“I told you I wasn’t coming back.” But her heart ached at the lie.

🔮 4. Supernaturals Allowed
Shifters, vampires, fae, witches, and other supernatural beings are welcome. However, no overpowered characters. All supernatural abilities must have weaknesses or clear limits. Magic should add tension and flavor, not make characters invincible.

💔 5. Give Your Characters Flaws
Perfect characters are boring. Tori isn’t perfect, and no one else should be either. Everyone has regrets, fears, blind spots, or emotional baggage — embrace the messy parts.

🔥 6. Romance and Drama
Romance is allowed and encouraged, but this is a PG-13 setting. Use fade-to-black when necessary.
Character drama is great. Player drama is not. Keep conflict in-character and resolve OOC issues calmly.

🎶 7. Multiple Characters Allowed
You may play more than one character if you can keep up with them. Each character should serve a purpose in the story and feel distinct from your others.

🧠 8. IC Actions = IC Consequences
If your character does something risky, hurtful, or reckless, expect others to respond appropriately. No one is immune from the consequences of their actions — even Tori.

✍️ 9. Stay Active
Try to post at least once every 4–5 days. If something comes up or you need to step away, just let us know. Communication helps keep the story moving smoothly.

🕊️ 10. Be Kind OOC
This is a collaborative story. Respect everyone’s creativity, boundaries, and time. No godmodding, meta-gaming, or controlling others’ characters. Let’s keep the environment supportive and welcoming.

Have fun, lean into the emotion, and help shape a story worth singing about.
