leveestrumpet as Levee Green, a trumpet player and former member of Ma's band.
Levee felt like he had sold his soul to the devil. To him, the devil wasn't some red monster. It was a white man in a suit... The one thing he cared about he had sold to make pennies so he could barely survive. It had been a few months since being cut from the band and all Levee wanted now was to go back and make things different... Scraping his foot on the concrete, he smoked a cigarette and looked up at the busy streets of with disdain. He began to walk aimlessly, throwing the cigarette in the trash. He held his trumpet case firmly, wearing a pinstripe suit and hat along with his yellow shoes...

Selling his own music to Sturdyvant had definitely taken a toll on him. Filled with regret, the young man knew there was probably no way for him to go back. Apologize for what happened... Change things. All he really wanted was to be better. But the world was cruel. God really had struck him down. Nothing had worked out for him since. Cutler's words looped in his head constantly, haunting him in each waking moment and even in his sleep. It was terrible. But he tried to tell himself that there was nothing he could do, so he could just accept this move on.
Plot: Set after Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (The film), trumpet player Levee Green finds himself lost. Lost in life. He turns back to the person who effectively ended his career for guidance. That being Ma Rainey herself. The roleplay would explore their complicated and platonic relationship as she mentors him in a way, hopefully leading him to a much better future. This would be a very dramatic and heavy story rooted purely in human emotion. Other characters could include Sylvester, Dussie Mae and Cutler. I'd be playing Levee and am mainly looking for Ma as their relationship is integral to the plot. I am very passionate about the film and story and I've been wanting to bring it to life for the longest time.
