The Sins of The Elements

Ok People, let’s try this again! :D Make sure you all read everything again, because I have made a few changes that will apply to some of you in one way, and to others in another.

The Setting and Plot:
Spoiler: click to toggle


The Seven (And those who control them):
Spoiler: click to toggle


(Note: The Seven are all Immortal - Stuck at the age in which they underwent their change)

Now, for the Rules:

1. I am the Creator of this RP. My Word is Law. My judgement is final.

2. No God-Modding. No exceptions.

3. This is my main point; I’m a grammar Nazi, so I need *literate* people in this RP only. This of course isn’t meant to offend those who aren’t up to speed. It’s just a matter of “If I can’t understand your writing style, or if I constantly have to re-read posts to get to their point, I unfortunately can’t bring you into this RP. If you are unsure whether your writing is up to speed, send me a PM with an extract from one of your posts and I will let you know.

4. The second most important rule here; I expect *at the very, very least*, one post per week. And in saying that, I’d like *at the very, very least*, two paragraphs per post. I apologise if I seem like I’m asking a little too much, but I’ve seen many awesome RPs go down due to inactivity and I really wish for mine to be different. So if you can’t keep up, please don’t join. In addition, if you are going to be away, that’s fine. Just PM me and let me know. I won’t bite your head off. :P

5. This list can be altered at any time.


And Finally, the CSS (NOTE: If you already have a character from our first RP, just repost their Profiles again here in the New OOC. In addition, even though I have placed all of our names with our characters, I still ask that you guys make Profiles for your characters. Much Appreciated! :D ):
Code:
 
Name: – This will be the name your character used during their human life, a name that is no longer used:

Age: - The age at which your character became immortal and unable to continue aging.

Sex: - I would hope this is obvious. XD

Callsign and Title: - The Callsign by which everyone refers to your character, corresponds with your sin. The Title is the one that I’ve placed next to the characters’ names above. (i.e. Pride: The Sinful Leader)

Sin & Element: The Deadly Sin your character has been embodied with, and the Element they preside over. (i.e. Pride – Decay)

Weapon of Choice: - Each Sinner has a weapon of choice that corresponds with their Sin in some way or another.

Appearance: - Self explanatory; Images and descriptions are both fine.

Personality: - Also self explanatory, though when you are constructing this section, keep in mind their nature and the sin they most committed.

History: - Once again, self explanatory.



Ok, to the people playing Lust, Envy and Gluttony: You are all still Human right now. Pride, Greed, Wrath and Sloth will all be looking for you, so that your characters can make the change and become a part of the Brotherhood. Keep this in mind for your History section in the CS and your Intro post. Thanks Guys!

I think that’s all.. If not, I can add to this again later. For now, let’s get this thing started! :D

I'll whisper in your ear,
You are mine, and you will never have to be alone.
And when I pull you near,
You'll know I love you like I never loved anyone.
So let me be the one to lift you up,
I'll carry you home.
'Cause now I'm here to keep you safe,
And to catch you when you fall.

Very good Juicesir, I really like that concept. :) Just remember that after Ben is changed into one of the Seven, he'll be referred to as Gluttony from then on.

Also, on a minor note, Gluttony's title is "The Untamed Trash-Can". Sorry for my picky-ness, but could you please put that in his profile?

I liked the new title... Whats the point of asking people to put a title in their profile, if you've already pre-decided them? Besides the title you picked doesn't match the personality Juicesir has created. By giving us titles, you're kind of giving us an outline of who we have to reflect.

Sorry for also being 'picky' but that just doesn't make sense, to me anyway :P

That is a good point.. Though I did always have the assumption that Gluttony is more centered around over-consumption of food/alcohol/goods and not knowing when to say "no", which does link rather closely to Greed. Which is why I originally wanted Gluttony to be focused around food.

However, this character profile is just as good. You guys can all make your own titles for your characters if you so wish it. Sorry for being such a pain.

Name: – Doyle Santoro

Age: - 23

Sex: - Male

Callsign and Title: - Wrath: The Tenacious Thorn

Sin & Element: Wrath- Darkness

Weapon of Choice: - Baseball bat (metal or wood depending on his mood)

Appearance: - Doyle can pass for an average looking man in most situations. His personality is what will put them off. His icy blue eyes have a tendency of scaring people sometimes, saying they're too sharp and piercing. Most would swear, though, that his eyes would flash red in certain situations even if his face won't show emotion. He has short reddish brown hair that stops just above his ears. He has two piercings in each earlobe. Doyle's only 5'11" but his presence can make him feel taller. He lacks tattoos and his skin is pale, not ghostly pale, just lacking color.

Personality: - Sometimes he can come off as too cool, calm and collected. It's an attitude that can make people afraid of him. He hasn't always been that way. He used to be a calm to the point of invisible. Now he gives off a vibe that would force people away from him. When he steps into a room, it almost feels like the lights dim. People wouldn't call him pure evil but they can feel just by standing nearby that something is wrong. And if any were to cross him, they fear for their lives. He's quick with a biting retort if someone says the wrong thing to him. His anger is quick to rise but he has gained some control over it; it's one of his charms, or so he thinks. He also has a tendency of losing himself. He has yet to snap and level an entire city but he has been known to remember his past and fall just a little deeper into the darkness within himself.

History:



This is mostly similar to my other profile; a few things were changed here and there. Hope that's all cool.

You don't only belong to yourself, you know. I doubt there is a single person in this world that belongs only to himself. When someone makes a connection there is always something shared. And so people will never be completely free. It's that which brings out fun, and sadness and love.

Yep, all of that is fine Raven :) Welcome back :D

The only thing I can see that needs to be changed is the very last part of his history to fit the new plot. Instead of a Spirit coming to him in his dreams, Pride, Greed and Sloth find him and take him in instead. :)

*Custom User Title*
Name: Previously Cassia Rose Wilson, now known as "Sloth"
Age: Frozen eternally at the age of 18
Sex: Female

Callsign and Title: Sloth & The Speedster

Sin & Element: Sloth and Water

Spoiler: click to toggle


Personality: Cassia has always been a girl that will take the easy way out, no matter what the situation. She chose to attend college online, had a job that involved her being a telemarketer from home, and orders most of her things online. Shopping and going out are just...too much work for her. If she could, she'd stay in bed all day. This lazy demeanor is also conveyed in her social interactions, coming across as her being bored or disinterested. Sometimes she is, but mainly she's just tired or wanting to do something else with her time. It's a frequent occurrence to have her complain when told to do something, and express protest in doing it, but she's always cooperative in the end.

History: Ever since she was little, Cassia's mother complained about her laziness. She was never involved in any school sports, didn't hang out with friends that much, and just preferred to spend time in bed or on the couch watching television. Despite this rather...slovenly childhood, she's managed to maintain a fair and attractive figure with features that have allured many the man. Unfortunately, that lazy streak of hers has ended all past relationships, about four of them, since she couldn't be bothered making an effort to lengthen the relationship or take it to the next level. All she wanted to do was stay home, curl up on the couch, and eat chinese food out of carton, but they wanted to see movies, go to concerts....blech. She was happy snuggled under a blanket watching movies for hours.

Profile still in Progress :D

Name: Tiffanie Marquisa (French names. ‘Tiffanie’ meaning Divine One, and ‘Marquisa’ meaning French Royalty)
Age: 27
Sex: Female
Sin: Lust - Not only is Tiffanie the attractive, sexually driven and enticing woman the errotic nature of her sin suggests, but she embodies another aspect of the Sin: pollution. Having been stripped of a family by disease, and favouring the polluted city, she is also almost always seen with a cigarette in hand.
Title: The Femme Fatale
Element: Fire - Lust has the ability to create Fire, and manipulate it. She also has the ability to make the fire seem enticing to her victims, thrilling in making the flames dance a certain way that makes them appear inviting, and in some cases romantic. Another subtle ability of Lust's is her ability to rapidly increase the body heat of an individual, making the water in their body boil.
Weapon of Choice: A long, leather whip. Leather is greatly resistant to fire, able to catch fire without retaining damage. Lacquered in a sturdy, flexible wax-like substance Tiffanie once used in her line of work, Lust is not only able to masterfully control the whip, but alight it on fire for extra damage.
Appearance:
Posted Image

Personality: Aware of her power, Tiffanie is not often bothered by the traumas of others. At least not openly. She tends to keep quiet tabs on everything concerning those around her, herself, and her world, as a means of protection and gaining a cultural capital that allows her privilege and further power over others. Not that she requires inside knowledge, secrets and gossip to maintain the upper hand. In a world ruled by men, Tiffanie has little trouble weaving her own way in life. She is acutely aware of just how desirable she is, and the strength she is capable of holding over most people. Like a true Queen of the Nightlife, she is not beneath blackmail, deceit and outright seduction to get what she wants, and to protect what she holds dearest.

However Tiffanie does not earn the title of Lust simply by being desirable. She herself holds a deep hunger, forever present, that seems to never be satisfied. She has learnt to live with this desire, but it is not entirely easy to live with. Part of the reason she is so highly priced, is because she really does commit her whole self to the experience; the sex is as much to satisfy her, as it is to satisfy her clients. Though she reserves herself only for the highest paying customers on most occasions, a truly attractive or intriguing man can sometimes prove too much for her business principles. Her greatest weapon, is also her greatest weakness.

This constant sexual frustration often causes bad moods within the luscious woman. Though she appears apathetic and even seductive with her husky voice and slanted glances, she is often irritable, and has little patience for the ridiculous. This does not mean she raises her voice, is easily toyed with or oft explodes. She prefers the dirtier fight, and not surprisingly many people who oppose her wind up missing or dead. She is far more easily displeased than she is impressed, and this can sometimes be taken as cockiness or a superiority complex. More likely, it is that she truly, honestly and sincerely does not care about you or your problems, and would rather you leave her be until she asks for you.

History: Tiffanie has lived in Paris, France, for the entirety of her life, and remains there even now. Despite the implications of such a magical city, her life was far from enchanted. At the age of four, her father was tragically taken from her and her mother in a bout of unprecedented illness. She can remember very little about her father, and much of her childhood consistent largely of only her and her mother, Margo, living in a small cottage on the outskirts of the city. Unfortunately however, the illness that had taken her father had survived within her mother, and Margo spent much of her daughter’s life sick in bed. Tiffanie worked hard to care for her mother, and worked as an assistant at a local butcher’s to bring some money into the household. The pair were drastically underfed, and desperately poor. But they had each other.

When Tiffanie was thirteen, a seemingly concerned and caring man – Christophe – took the pair under his wing. He was a wealthy business man who owned a series of hotels and a high-end burlesque club across the city, and he not only brought them his wealth, but Tiffanie a job as an assistant in his office. For two years the almost-family managed to scramble out of the poverty that had cursed them for so long. But Margo’s health declined. To ensure the security of Tiffanie, who was now only fifteen, Christophe married her mother. Three months later, she passed away, leaving Tiffanie in the charge of her new step-father. The cottage was sold for a feeble price, and the business man pulled his daughter into the city, closer to his business. They lived together in the penthouse of his most prestigious hotel, and Tiffanie was well fed, pampered and loved dearly. But not all was as it seemed.

At the hands of Christophe, the sixteen-year-old who was now coming into herself, was abused. She had developed into an amazingly attractive young girl, with sleek, curly black hair, pale skin, poisonous eyes and a curvaceous figure. She was a rose, eyed by many of the young (and old) men that passed through the hotel. What they didn’t know was that her step father saw the saw beauty, and – tempted by the same desires – helped himself to her nightly. Too strong to scream, Tiffanie never spoke a word, and suffered in silence for months. As she approached her eighteenth birthday, she decided enough was enough. In a daring move, she bought an agent from the apothecary downstairs, and mixed a humble poison which was used to kill him. Tiffanie was never blamed, and instead – being his only family member when it was found Christophe had no will prepared – inherited his wealth, his hotel chain, and his prized burlesque club.

Within the following months, and after at last reaching legal age, Tiffanie became one of the wealthiest and most powerful women in all of Paris. The after-dark social scene was her kingdom, and she expanded her burlesque house into a series of bars, brothels and nightclubs across the city. She had become a business woman; strong, independent, and no longer willing to allow others to dominate or rule her. She extended this sense of strength and independence to her girls – the women who by night pleasured the men of France for a high price. Tiffanie’s businesses served only the most upper-class clientele, including wealthy business men, politicians, and prestigious foreign guests. Her girls were the most sought after and desirable women in Paris, but of course, no man wanted any other woman than Tiffanie.

Though strictly a business woman, Tiffanie did not send her girls out alone. She did not believe in asking of her girls what she would not do herself, and for the highest price of all, offered herself and her body to those willing to pay. Her long, luxurious and pampered body was like a prize for any willing man, and she carried herself thusly. Today, Tiffanie is a very busy woman, rarely seen or heard. But her presence is undeniable, and her girls know she is there for them as much as the men of Paris know that she is there for those willing to pay.

Excellent, we're all here! :D Which means we can start this thing off! I'll ask Butler to remove the old OOC and IC now, and I'll start up the new IC sometime tonight.

To all of you, remember where you are for your intro posts and who you are with. Four in a group, three yet to be found and changed. This should be a whole lot of fun! :D

@Juicesir: I don't really have any limits in terms of what characters can say or do. They are the embodiment of the Sins after all. Swearing is just fine, as long as it's not in excess. :)

@Dream: You were okay to post from the beginning, I just wanted to see a full profile from everyone before I started up the IC. :) Go right ahead.
