Xenoears

Everyone you've ever known has been cursed overnight. The cause? Unknown. The affliction? Strange ears. It's distracting. It's ineffectual. It's sweeping the earth. Some ears are so large they touch the ground. Some stand tall and shake the heavens. Some are sharp enough to cut steel. People are dying by the dozens. It's up to you, the last man with normal, fully-functioning ears, to restore order in a world gone mad. But when you're the last of a bygone countenance, bitterness and envy may be your undoing.

Chaka: The Forever Man

Famous American female singer Chaka Khan boasts that her ability to sing soulful funk is so unmatched that even Death himself couldn't best her in a singing competition. Death appears to her and offers a proposition: If Chaka could defeat him in a voice battle, he would grant her eternal life. She accepts.

The competition rages for days, the smooth voices of the two singers rocking the world with funkified melodies. Eventually, Chaka Khan is victorious, and Death grants her reward, but with a price:

"You are a tactful singer, so I will not renege on our wager. I grant you the kiss of eternal life, but, for your arrogance and pride I will temper my gift with this curse. You will be a male version of yourself as I strip you of your womanly characteristics. Each nightfall, horrible singers will be shown to you, and the pain of their victims will be your pain. You will never know rest as you wander this world searching to defeat the horrors that haunt your sleeping world. You will suffer grievous singing defeats, but you will not die, and as eternity rolls on, you will crave my touch. Your face will bear my manly visage, and your voice will ring with infernal resonance. But...let it not be said that I am without mercy. There shall be an end to your curse. If all the singers of horrid talent are defeated, then you may find rest."
