* TheCowl: The Society treats Hyde like this:
-->'''Miss Lavender''': He's the ''phantom of the Society''! Our very own ''caped vigilante''!

* InventedIndividual: Jekyll pretends that Hyde is a separate person working as his lab assistant and siply curiously absent whenever Jekyll's around. It came to a point that his fellow lodgers believe that the two are having a romance.



* MistakenForRomance: The Society lodgers are confident that Jekyll and Hyde are not only two people, but also lovers. No word on Jekyll's opinion on the subject, but apparently Hyde gleefully supports the misconception.



** Part of the the problem with Jasper's werewolf form is what Jekyll calls the worst case of wolfsbane poisoning he's ever seen, which is part of what makes Jasper different, the transformation now occurring on any night where the moon is visible and causing rapid shifts between various levels of human and wolf forms.

The city of London is not the best place to be a [[MadScientist mad scientist]]. Thirty years after the death of the infamous Dr. Franchise/Frankenstein, its citizens have [[TorchesAndPitchforks gotten awfully good]] at [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman killing creatures]], [[ScienceIsBad destroying laboratories]], and [[BurnTheWitch generally wrecking anything new or strange-looking]]. Soon, every scientist within city limits will find themselves behind bars, unless someone can turn their luck around, and fast.

This someone, it turns out, is a respected gentleman, an illustrious socialite– who also happens to be a scientist himself. He believes that rogue science can survive -- and thrive! -- as he has, if only they could improve their reputation in the public eye – and he plans to give them one hell of an image makeover. Together with his Society for Arcane Science, he can end the reign of fear and superstition that has held London captive for decades so long as no one discovers his one little secret, a secret that could ruin him and unravel the lives of everyone he knows.
