[OOC] Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

[Rtron]

I have an important announcement.

*Clears throat*

FALLOUT 4 AND XCOM 2 ARE BOTH CONFIRMED. GET HYPED. ALL OF YOU.

[Freeshooter92]

Fallout 4 was inevitable you know. All that's changed is we now have a rough idea how much longer it's gonna take.

AAAAAGH, COOKIE CLICKER HAS SUCKED ME IN AGAAAAAIN

[Rtron]

Character Question!

What would you consider to be your character's deadly sin?

Uicle: Gluttony.

Althalus: Greed.

Aramir: Lust.

For reference, the seven deadly sins.

1. Greed - Wanting too much of something.

2. Gluttony - Similar to greed, but gluttony is the action of taking too much of something in.

3. Lust - The need to fulfill unspiritual desires (not just sexual desires, but this is usually what lust is associated with.)

4. Envy - Jealousy; wanting to have what someone has.

5. Sloth - Being too slow or lazy at doing something.

6. Wrath - Vindictive anger; angry revenge.

7. Pride - Being too self-satisfied

[Lucius Cypher]

Karnage - Lust

Lucilia - Pride

Annabeth - Frankly I'm not sure. Envy perhaps? Lust? A sort of understated Pride? I'll let someone else figure this out.

Also if I may elaborate: Sloth isn't just laziness. It's more along the lines of Apathy, Despair; Like the cynic who doesn't lift a finger to help others because he see's it as "Pointless", and let's whatever happens happen. Being lazy is just one way it's shown, but the point is a purposeful inactivity when something could be done. Additionally, I always felt that Greed wasn't so much "Wanting more" but "Not giving", since Gluttony typically fulfills the requirements of wanting in excess. Whereas a Gluttonous person would eat all the food at a banquet even if he ends up vomiting it all out an hour later, a Greedy person wouldn't even let anyone else eat, even if the food goes to waste.

Mar- Lust
Khan- Pride
Lyn- .....ummmm, not sure. Help?

Also I will post Lyn's whereabouts as soon as some replies on the Roc mission.

[Rtron]

Lyn- .....ummmm, not sure. Help?

@Fallenreaper

Lyn- too young will decide when she's older.

[Lucius Cypher]

I could post something for Annabeth.

[Fallenreaper]

I could post something for Annabeth.

@Lucius Cypher

I will appreciate, though so can Rtron and others too. Also, people need to watch Lyn...closer.

<Snipped quote by Fallenreaper>

Lyn- too young will decide when she's older.

@Rtron

Bad part... She still doesn't change much!

[Lucius Cypher]

Lyn- .....ummmm, not sure. Help?

@Fallenreaper

Lyn's still a bit too green to categorize her sins, but I'd say that she would fall under the realms of either Lust (Wonderlust mostly, but her desire to stick close to others tends to put her into danger, not helped by those who oblige her) or Gluttony (Similar to lust in that Lyn is a curious little snake-monkey, but she may be biting off more than she can chew). Of course she hasn't exactly shown any blatantly negative things yet, though there's always time in the future.

Additionally, in counter-comparison to Rtron's survey about sins, what would you think be one of your character's Virtues?

Charity - The willingness to give to others, regardless of your own personal wealth or fortune. Could be anything from giving money to giving company.

Chasity - Like lust, this isn't always a sexual thing. Rather the fulfillment of the virtue is not through lack of being tempted, but rather of making the conscious decision to better yourself rather than do what you know is morally wrong. Or at least pointlessly harmful.

Diligence - Determination despite the odds and issues set before you. Never backing down, never giving in, and always sticking to your beliefs. Faith, in other words.

Humility - Being modest to one's self. This isn't the sort of self-destructive or hypocritical humble-brag of "Oh, what I did wasn't that impressive..." sort of Humility, but the kind that would do good and say nothing about it. There's no need to announce your good deeds, for you know what you did was good, and need no recognition for it.

Kindness - Being good towards all and everyone. From strangers to friends even to enemies. To give and befriend others for the sake of it, rather than as a means to an end. To understand and trust others without prejudice or regret.

Patience - To be merciful and forgiving. Even when the going gets tough, you stay on your path, accept that there are faults in the world, and continue to travel the high road. The "Turn the other cheek" virtue.

Temperance - Close to Chasity in that this is the virtue of controlling yourself in the face of adversity and temptation. But it also means to to be self-disciplined and restraint. You take only what you need or are given, you don't go into extremes, and you are always aware of your actions and what they truly mean.

[Fallenreaper]

Mar- Temperance
Khan- Patience
Lyn- Kindness all the way.

[EliteCommander]

Ssarak's sin is easily wrath.

[Konan375]

Leith- Greed/Kindness

Darius- Wrath/Diligence

[Rtron]

Althalus-Diligence

Aramir-Kindness

Uicle-Uh. I got nothing. Any ideas?

[Rtron]

Fallout 4 was inevitable you know. All that's changed is we now have a rough idea how much longer it's gonna take.

@Freeshooter92

Inevitable yes.

UNREASONABLY DELAYED, ALSO YES.

*Shakes Freeshooter* ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN.

[Frettzo]

No idea

Character Question!

What would you consider to be your character's deadly sin?

@Rtron

Alaira: Gee, I just don't know...
Grey: Sloth

Additionally, in counter-comparison to Rtron's survey about sins, what would you think be one of your character's Virtues?

@Lucius Cypher

Alaira: Diligence.
Grey: Humility.

*Shakes Freeshooter* ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN.

@Rtron

Will freaking out about it making it come out any faster? Also, might I remind you of Destiny, Watch_Dogs, and so on? Hype is a cancer.

[EliteCommander]

So far, no ES or Fallout title has disappointed me in the past 11 years. I am starting to develop trust for Bethesda's track record, but I avoid hype all the same, for my own sanity.

[Freeshooter92]

I trusted Bungie, and look what we got. I will save judgement for when it comes out.
