Venture into a world of musical obscurity...
...shadows decorate every corner, and line the faces of passer-bys. There have recently been a large handful of missing persons reports, leading the authorities to be especially watchful of criminal activity. The citizens of Paris brush this matter under their hats however. There are far more important things to think about. Such as the upcoming Masquerade ball at the Opéra Garnier...
Who will you be? The timid chorus girl, who enjoys tea and cakes on Sundays...The gloomy politician, who watches Paris go by from his penthouse window...The pragmatic barkeep who sees his patrons drink their cares away through hazy green bottles...Or another mysterious face who appears in the crowd among hundreds, with secret desires and talents yet to be extricated?

This is a cross-over of Les Misérables, Sweeney Todd, and Phantom of the Opera. All three musicals are, for the sake of this particular RPG, set in an AU Victorian Paris, where many other European nationalities reside. This way, the names and accents of Sweeney Todd characters, as well as any other British characters that may be created, can legitimately exist among the Parisians. The time period is approximately mid-Victorian. Knowledge of the musicals is not mandatory however, as one might find the general theme (Gothic Victorian France) enough of a reason to join.
