Name: Emmeline Clarke
Title: Lust
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Personality: Armed with sweet, playful smiles and long lashes that bat just the right way, it's hard to see Emmy as anything but a sweetheart. She knows just what to say to brighten up your day, and has an infectious laugh that's sure to put a smile on your face. And what's more, she's just the right blend of innocent and impish, in the seductive-but-still-somehow-coy manner that seems to attract others a fair bit. People have been known to instinctively gravitate toward her, whether it's from an unexplainable desire to protect her and keep her unusually romantic notions of the world intact, or from a more primal desire.

But just as a rose has its thorns, a closer look at Emmy reveals that she's not as harmless and innocent as she appears to be. No, far from it. In reality, Emmy is chiefly ruled by her uncontrollable urges. She prioritizes herself above all else and does what she wants, when she wants, consequences be damned. Others tend to initially misconstrue her self-centered impulses as some endearing quirk, but the longer they know her, the more they realize that it's not the case. Emmy also suffers from a severe case of monophobia. As a result, she has become dangerously dependent, actually unable to survive on her own. She cannot stand being alone, even for a brief moment. She'll go through a full-blown panic attack if she's ever alone. In fact, the main reason behind her saccharine façade is simply to ensure there will always be someone beside her to take care of her and keep her company

Abilities: Having relied on others for anything and everything, Emmy hasn't many abilities to brag about. She didn't possess any valuable life skills and she absolutely won't last a day on her own. To remedy this, her previous gang trained her in the art of Aikido, which she surprisingly picked up fast. So while Emmy likes to make herself scarce during battles, preferring instead to beguile someone into fighting for her, she isn't left completely vulnerable. She also has her charms, if that counts for anything. Emmy has a way of drawing people's attention that's nearly foolproof.

Power: In a way befitting her moniker, Emmy's abilities solely revolve around tactile sensations. It's a strange derivation of psychometry, infused with some matter of telepathy. When in direct contact with other beings, Emmy is able to read their thoughts and emotions. The connection only lasts as long as she is touching them, and she can only read what they are presently thinking and feeling. During prolonged contact and depending on how susceptible to suggestion the person is, Emmy might also be able to cast her influence on the person, in a manner similar to hypnosis. This works best if the person has willingly submitted to Emmy.

Her power works on nonliving entities as well, although with slightly different results. When touching objects, she is able to perceive any of its residual information. In most cases, it serves only for investigative purposes, such as learning who has used the object last and for what reason. But if she were to touch objects with deeper psychic imprints, which are often items that people have strong attachments for, she would be able to channel memories of its use. For instance, if she were to touch someone's favorite guitar, she would be able to channel its memories and be able to play as well as the guitar's owner.

Of course, her abilities are not without its downsides. First and foremost, it's not something she can 'turn off.' Everything she touches gives her a barrage of information and it takes time for her to sort through them. It's also difficult for her to control what to retain, so any information she has one day may be completely gone the next. Because of the nature of her abilities, her dependence for contact is increased tenfold, to the point that it's almost crippling. Touching becomes something of sustenance to Emmy, and if she is deprived of skin-to-skin contact long enough, she would actually physically weaken.

How you joined the sinners: Emmy left her previous gang around the same time Sloth began forming her own. She thought it was destiny. Afraid and unwilling to be by herself, Emmy actively sought out Sloth, and worked hard to win her over. Every day, she would follow her around and keep her company, doing whatever she can to help her (although, often she just gave her more trouble). Emmy will never really know whether Sloth relented because she saw some use for her, or because she just wanted her to stop with her incessant pestering, but she eventually has become a full-fledged member of the Sinners, and she couldn't be happier.

Personal Arc: Emmy was given up for adoption when she was nine, after her deluded mother was certain she was trying to steal her stepfather's attentions. Ever since, she has been hopping from one family to another, unable to stay with one without causing some sort of problem. It was a pattern: for the first few months, her new family would be utterly in love with her, but then slivers of her real self would show, until finally, she would cause strife between members of the family. It wasn't until eight years and eleven families later, when she turned seventeen (practically old enough to be considered a legal adult) that she was finally kicked out of the foster system.

Alone for the first time, a panic-stricken and desperate Emmy turned to the first person willing to take her in. It just so happened that this person was the leader of a gang, and he kindly took her under his wing. She became something of a prized possession to him, and he blatantly favored her over the rest of his members. Just as she thought she'd found a permanent home, she became a source of discord once again, when the members start getting jealous of the attentions given to the newbie. Emmy would end up leaving the gang after a year.

(I was thinking it could be one of the gangs the Sinners will eventually fight? I imagined they would be this sort of Chess-themed gang for some reason.)

I think the character is alright overall, but she could use some more practical skills, like some combat skill, cause she needs a reason to be at the gang fight you know.

As for the relationship.

Sloth to Lust: Irritation. This single word describes Sloth's opinion of Lust instantly. When they first met, Lust was alone and scared, and Sloth took her in to help her, but only temporarily, at least that was her intent. When she proved to be impossible to get rid of, she decided to eventually make Lust an official member. She proved to at least be good at menial tasks, but for the most part, she merely made it tougher for Sloth to work, so she generally leaves the other sins to look after her. However, when she does need help in social events, Lust does prove useful. Overall, Sloth might seem to dislike Lust at first, but it's not as much dislike as just wanting to better Lust.

So with this, all 6 others are turned in. Has pride been posting though?

Alright, so if Pride doesn't post within a day or two, I'm going to open up applications for his role. So for anyone who wants to maybe run a second character, you have the floor to work on a pride sheet :)

Angel might have some fun~ We have a power which drains memories and one which can not only do that but also emotions and thoughts as well as nonliving entities? Hope I got that right.

Well lust doesn't drain them, but instead shapes and changes their emotions to make them do her will.

Alright, I'm too excited to get this going so instead of waiting for Pride, I'm gonna say anyone interested in taking his spot can apply for it now, even if you already turned in another character. I want to at least start working out ideas for other Prides in case the original doesn't come back, so instead of waiting for new CS's we already have them at the ready.

I feel a little bad, I just dropped my other RP, the superhero rp you guys might've seen. I just can't put my heart into it. At first I wanted to do a super power based rp, so I just hopped into super hero rp, but after I developed this I realized how I wanted to do a super power RP from a different perspective so now here we are lol.

At least now I can devote 100% to this RP instead.

No offense Max but I would definitely want to try creating a Pride character. I think yours is already pretty cool, but I am bored.

Ooh, Emmy is interesting. You can count of Angel to be starstricken for both girls here. |D Kind of lol he'd be the oldest one here if Pride is replaced with someone younger. I've dropped Angel's age down to 20 (instead of 21) so he can be closer to everyone else (plus a couple more edits... I'll build on his Personal Arc later, though I have ideas for what I want to keep it relevant to). Hope that's all right!

Sorry to hear you dropped the superhero RP though, Phantom. D: But at least you have this to turn to in its place!

I'm really excited for this to get going as well. Honestly I'm relieved Angel wasn't rejected off the bat hahaha! Just hoping everyone's excitement (including my own) doesn't lead to speed posting in the IC right away... I can't keep up with those ^^;;. But I really like everyone here and can't wait to start writing with you all! :D
Side note, would you guys like to have some banners for the ICs? :) They make posts easier to read and look at, and are really spiffy. I've made a few quickies to see what you think of the idea!

If Pride is open, I might apply for that: assuming you don't mind.

I'll throw a CS together tonight, after work.

Haha awesome! =P

I was also doing a CS for Pride. @.@ Decided to put it up anyhow. It is done with input from Rex.

Cant decide if male or female is better...

Both are equally obnoxious individuals in their own right. =D

@AshWisp: I am sooo sorry I missed your post earlier. Yes I can see Ash and Joni relating to each other. They both had miserable childhoods and they are around the same age give or take. Does Ash still attend school or perhaps did...? It would be interesting if they knew each other through school or something.

Or even online gaming etc...?

What if Ash was the one who introduced Joni to Sloth? =P

But this is the most IMPORTANT question: which part of Ash's face is covered exactly? o.O I can't imagine it... sorry.

Well, good to know that the Female Pride is reserving Gluttony as a potential Plan B. That made me chuckle a bit to be honest xD

Yes he did attend the school although he was unable to attend most of the time as he had to work. Maybe they become acquainted when Joni starts pursuing Sloth and with the constant visits (and the addition of snacks), seeing as how Joni meant no harm maybe Ash invites Joni to visit Sloth in person and from that she invites you or something?

The part of his face covered? It's a mouth and nose thing, a bit like those flu masks people wore but I like the design of the one I put up. He also sometimes wears a sort of gas mask which specifically only covers his mouth and noise (showing parts of his injuries) unlike the 'flu mask' which it's prime function is to cover his cuts and stitches entirely.

Like this mask but smaller.

That works too. xD I can sooo imagine Ash freaking Joni out the first time they meet. Love the idea of a personal visit. Joni will be so awestruck to be honest. In those moments when he lets his guard down he can be quite innocent. Negative thoughts are really cancerous aren't they? They keep coming back and eat away at all other positive emotions.

Thanks so much for the picture! :) It helps a lot.

I hope you aren't offended that Male Pride appears to be somewhat mean to Ash. He is equally rude and callous to everyone but Sloth, Greed and Gluttony.

It all sounds good to me. Me offended by the male Pride? I love the idea that there could be conflict between Envy and Pride; I can imagine Pride finding ways to put down Envy personally and in Sloth's eyes. In addition, the fact that he's older gives him an even bigger air of arrogance which Envy doesn't exactly detest but he'll gladly not have to communicate or even look at him, however often watching him when he communicates with Sloth as he's somewhat realized Pride's intentions. I can imagine also that Ash's ability to steal and Pride's Point Zero would be good in such actions like blackmailing. I mean, having the heart of someone with tasty information is the best way to gather information safely, capish?
