1	->''Where the music is in your soul.''
2
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.
