((A few notes before we begin. This is a roleplaying journal for Erik, the Phantom of the Opera, belonging to the community theatrical_muse, which is lovely. The mun behind the character is katu. That means that I am not really a deformed genius who was born in 1831 and lives underneath an Opera House in France. However, this journal is also used for roleplaying, so if that's your pleasure, please, do comment.

Also, this is NOT based on Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, as much as I love Gerry Butler. This particular Erik is based partly on Gaston Leroux's original novel, and almost entirely on Susan Kay's Phantom. Having read the book will definitely improve your reading experience, though I shall strive to make the journal universally enjoyable.

Thanks for your time.))

I have been known by many names. Some that I am fond of, others that I am not. However, the name I was baptised with is Erik, though to be honest, the first name my mother gave me was "you little beast." For the purpose of this narrative, however, Erik will do.

I was born in 1831, in Boscherville, France. From an early age I was promising in many areas; music, art, architecture...freakishly intelligent and articulate, yet I was not known for my talents. Only for my other remarkable trait: my face. Born without a nose, with eyes so sunken that only my catlike irises are visible, with a lips that barely live up to their name, and bald completely except for my dark bangs and the tufts of hair behind my ears. A wig and a mask can correct nature's mistake...so long as I never take them off.

Now I offer you a look behind the mask.
