3 | May be found [[http://community.livejournal.com/elegycity here.]] Characters arrive in the titular city via a mysterious train, which disappears once they have stepped off it. In Elegy, the music known as the Harmony is in your head - and it never stops. To make matters worse, the city is ruled by two gangs, House Madrigal and House Ostinato, both of which can use the Harmony as a weapon. |

8 | !! Tropes related to the setting: |
9 | %% * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Siciliana]] |
10 | %% * DatingCatwoman: Maestros Loure and Siciliana |
11 | * FantasticRacism: Not quite as noticeable as some examples, but the city natives are generally wary of player-characters. They've even given the player-characters a name - Libretto. |
12 | * KissingUnderTheInfluence: A variant. While not drunk and/or drugged, this was the only way for characters to escape the mistletoe during December '09. |
13 | %% * MagicMusic: The Harmony |
14 | %% * MasqueradeBall: The Summer Capella |
15 | %% * MirrorUniverse: The "Mirror, Mirror" event in February 2010 |
16 | %% * MusicalAssassin: The Houses |
17 | * SchizoTech: Cars are uncommon in Elegy, yet characters are given super-advanced PDA-like devices. On a more noticeable scale, the contrast between characters from vastly different time periods. |
18 | * SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness: Tends to be on the serious side of the scale, with some lighthearted events to break up the drama. |
19 | * SorryILeftTheBGMOn: Played for drama. If something sounds wrong with the Harmony, something has probably gone wrong within the city. |
20 | %% * TheStarscream: Caesura. A rare case where TheStarscream succeeded. [[spoiler:Temporarily.]] |
21 | * ThemeNaming: [[NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]] and non-Libretto buildings are given music-related names. |
22 | %% * TranslatorMicrobes: The Tones |
23 | * UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Native Elegians usually don't pay much mind to either the Harmony or the Libretto. Some will express concern whenever a Libretto with dangerous tendencies shows up, but unusual [[TechnicolorEyes eyes]], hair [[AnimeHair styles]] and colours, [[ImpossiblyCoolClothes wardrobe choices]], and [[TheUndead lack of vital signs]] go unnoticed. |
24 | %% * ViceCity: Ballad Town |
25 | %% * ZombieApocalypse: Halloween 2010. |
26 | |
27 | !! Tropes related to characters: |
28 | * AlmightyJanitor: A subversion: [[VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss Jade]] owns and operates his own small business, which he does earn a little respect for. Only a handful of people know about his [[ColonelBadass usual]] [[MagicKnight day]] [[ScienceHero job]], however. |
29 | * DrunkenSong: [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Sniper]]'s rendition of Auld Lang Syne during New Year's 2011. |
30 | %% * OddFriendship: Many, including: |
31 | %% ** [[VideGame/{{Okami}} Amaterasu]] and [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Sniper]] |
32 | %% ** [[Series/{{House}} Gregory House]] and [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]] |
33 | %% ** [[Literature/TrinityBlood Seth Nightlord]] and [[VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss Jade Curtiss]] |
34 | * OriginalCharacter: Original characters are allowed in this game. |
35 | * SeenItAll: Most Libretto who have been in the city for a while will usually regard Harmony weirdness with apathy, or occasionally mild annoyance. |
36 | * {{Troll}}: There is a high concentration of Libretto who will post to the Chorus network just to provoke a reaction. |
37 | %% * TheWoobie: [[Literature/TrinityBlood Pre-Crusnik Cain.]] In spades. |
38 | %% ** Applies to most. This game's [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Hope Estheim]] has a lot of tear-inducing moments in various threads. |
