Okay, I hope I have everything covered but if not please send me a PM and I will get back to you.
This will be a dark Victorian setting with an element of the supernatural. However please note that the supernatural is still very rare and generally dismissed as superstition by the majority of people.
Character creation is going to be very simple and hopefully easy to follow.
Each character is either a Detective in Scotland Yard or a Consultant. You are all on DI Filps' team though the length of time that this has been the case is entirely up to you.

It is January 3rd 1890 and in the city of London the streets are white with snow. It has been a particularly harsh winter with temperatures well below freezing and snow showers that have lasted days.
Of course the weather doesn't stop crime and for the Detectives of Scotland Yard business is as hectic as ever. Murders, high value thefts and even the odd gang war have all came in as a steady flow. More than ever the Detectives have been relying on their 'consultants' to pick up the slack. Detective Inspector Joshua Filps is no exception and with a high profile case landing on his desk that very morning he is eager to bring his team into action before it becomes public news.
The time is 09:30 and in a small briefing room in the bowels of Scotland Yard DI Filps is pacing anxiously while he waits for his team to arrive.
He is a portly man in his 40's with balding ginger hair, healthy sideburns and a thick moustache. He was rarely a patient man but this morning he looked more flustered than usual. He had even forgot to wear his suit jacket and had no idea where his tie had vanished to.
His pocket watch ticked around to 09:31 and he huffed to himself. Sure he had said ten to the message runners but didn't people realise that this was serious?
