Ella "The Voice"

The Siren of Hell’s Harmony

"Drinks? A song? Or maybe… a bullet? I serve them all with a smile."

Overview

Ella, known as “The Voice,” is the enigmatic lounge singer and bartender of Hell's Harmony, but she is far more than just a performer. Her voice hypnotizes, entrances, and unnerves, drawing people into the atmosphere of the lounge. SoftBoyJ "The Dealer" may run the establishment, but Ella commands the room. She can read people with eerie precision, knowing exactly who is drowning in sorrow, who is here to make a deal, and who is walking into a trap.

While she plays the role of the charming hostess, there’s a darker side to her. Ella has a love for chaos, and when necessary, she is Hell’s Harmony’s deadliest enforcer. Unlike SoftBoyJ’s subtle, reality-bending tricks, Ella’s power is blunt and brutal—she can manifest and control firearms with unnatural precision, conjuring an arsenal of weapons with just a snap of her fingers. When she fights, she is like a madwoman in motion, laughing as bullets fly and neon lights shatter around her.

No one knows whether Ella is a Program or a User, and she refuses to answer. But one thing is clear—cross her, and you won’t hear the shot that takes you down.

• Ella can summon and manipulate firearms, pulling weapons out of thin air like a magician.
• Her guns range from sleek cyberpunk pistols to massive digital cannons, and she wields them with inhuman accuracy.

Rumors & Theories

1. A User Who Lost Herself in The Zone

• Some believe Ella was once a human who spent too long in The Zone, becoming something… different.
• If this is true, it would explain why she has both User and Program-like qualities.
• But if she isn’t a Program, why hasn’t The Zone Authority erased her yet?

2. A Forgotten Weapon from a Lost Era

• Others whisper that Ella is an abandoned combat Program, originally built for corporate security or assassination missions before The Zone was fully formed.
• If true, then Hell’s Harmony is the only place keeping her from being hunted down and reprogrammed.
• Her gun-summoning ability is far beyond standard AI capabilities, making even rogue AI uneasy around her.

3. A Voice from The Bloom?

• The most outlandish theory suggests that Ella is not just a glitch—but a remnant of The Bloom itself.
• Some claim she remembers things no one should, humming songs from an era before The Zone was created.
• If true, then her existence alone could be a threat to the entire system.
