Lucie Manette – beautiful, young, loved by Carton, Darnay, etc. The Vengeance – revolutionary, a sinister, shadowy assassin and many more.No purchase necessary. Anyone who sends in a photo and passes the simple rules (mainly to ensure they own the photo and agree to its use) is guaranteed to be part of the game. Some will be major characters, others will be in crowd scenes. The developer's decision is final.
