The Setup

Have you ever wondered why bad things happen? Well... that's because there are monsters that make it so. We call them demons. What people don't know however is these creatures walk among us. They speak to us daily. Why do we not see them? Because they are within humans. In order to contain the demons long ago, an ancient order of monks blocked their power by sealing them away in the human world. Their Prisons? Human bodies.

We call them Hosts. Hosts are people who have sacrificed their lives in order to keep the demons sealed away and protect humanity. While having an eternal monster living inside of you is probably a net negative, there are some perks as well. Immortality, some inhuman abilities, and you're never lonely because there's a monster whispering into your ear constantly to 'free it'. Among the known demons, there are seven that are more powerful than all the rest: The Seven Deadly Sins of Wrath, Greed, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth, Envy, and Pride. These seven were the top soldiers of Lucifer himself and were entrusted to a group of seven Hosts who keep their powers in check for all eternity.

How it Works

So the story here is strightforward. This is an rp with seven humans all of whom have been made immortal thanks to the demon placed inside them. Set in a modern age, the Hosts are in a constant mental war with their respective demons and are forced to live with them on a daily basis. To make things worse, the demon king Lucifer wants his soldiers back and sends his minions into the the human world to track down the Hosts of the Sins and kill them in order to free the demons inside.

To counter this, Hosts have discovered over the years they can tap into the powers of the demons and use them for themselves. However, every time they use this power, they give into the demon and it slowly becomes harder to control the demonic impulses flowing through their bodies.

Ideally this RP would have seven members, each corresponding to one of the sins. I'll just see if anyone has interest now, and if enough people jump on, I'll post a dedicated IC later.

Several interesting concepts at play. You have my interest. There are so many interesting possibilities with each and every sin. Should be cool!

Definitely interested! Leaning towards Envy or Sloth right now, but all options have a lot of applications.

Cool to see you’re both interested. I’d rather not double up roles just yet so let’s see if we can get the number up to seven.

This sounds fun. Would be interesting to see this play out with 14 players - 2 players "teaming up" as one takes on the human and one the demon. Not sure that would be sustainable as a RP but a fun writing idea nonetheless.

Well, here's another body. Gluttony is my favorite sin to write for, but I've never done Pride- that could be interesting, too.

@BenzaitenAs cool as that would be, I’ve yet to actually get more than 10 people interested in any idea I’ve posted on the site (on my main account or otherwise) so I’ll probably just go with the seven for now. Maybe if I moved this over to advanced? *shrugs*

Tentatively interested. Wrath of course is my favorite, but my deadliest is pride.

@Leophael Yo. Idk why, but I got drunk one night and made a second account. I've really only been using it for non-fandom stuff.

Ok. We're at 5 out of 7! Two more and we have ourselves some demons! Nine, and we'll have hosts and demons!

I feel like that one meme with the lady crying as she's getting offered five different plates of pancakes, but I felt I might as well voice interest in this setting as well.

@EchoicChamber If it helps, I’ll probably take an overseeing role rather than a Host if you really want to join in. Or you could play as one of Lucifer’s minions trying to recover the sins? I am planning for characters to die in this storyline so new Hosts can appear as well.
