Dragonsona for Neopets OC - Nera / KingOfTheMusicScene

Nera was the lead singer of a band, but got kicked out due to his control freak tendencies, disrespect for his bandmates and their fans, and heavily disruptive behavior including actively insulting fans, starting fights, and not turning in work on time. Despite being kicked out for perfectly good reasons, Nera was deeply enraged by this, and responded in his standard reasonable fashion by making a contract with the Demon Lord of Revenge for the power to crush his former band. The demon responded by giving him the power of an unlimitedly enthralling voice, capable of convincing anyone of anything and superhuman musical skills. With this power, Nera quickly rose to the top of the Neopian post-hardcore scene.

But there's a catch. The more he uses his power and the more he focuses on his feelings of revenge and hatred (which he does a lot of seeing as it's the main focus of most of his band's songs), the more corrupted his body becomes. If he becomes completely consumed by corruption, his body and soul will tear themselves apart and he'll be sent not to the demon realm, but to oblivion itself, completely ceasing to exist. There is a way out, though. If Nera sincerely realizes his wrongdoing and apologizes to his former bandmates, he'll lose the mind controlling voice powers, but will keep any success he got because of them and the superhuman musical abilities, plus he...won't be slowly corrupted until he ceases to exist. The Demon Lord of Revenge, seeing as it's just a side gig for the spirit of reconciliation, really hopes Nera goes through with this, but can't directly intervene and it knows that being the edgelord he is, Nera wouldn't have bothered listening to a good entity.

Other than the other King Of The Music Scene and the work thereof, Nera's aesthetic is somewhat inspired by Shadow Lugia, which is thematically related for complicated reasons (it's Arlo. the reasons is Arlo.)
