Sins of Brittania: A Seven Deadly Sins based Rp

Helene was still wincing a bit as she walked towards the throne room. The tattooing of her brand at her lower back was a bit painful and she would often laugh out loud embarrassingly whenever the tattooer would hold her waist in place. It took four people just to stop her from moving as she accidentally kicked the tattooer a couple of times due to her extreme ticklishness. Now she's standing along with the other Sinners as well, each holding weapons that were scarier than the last one. One of them, Razol, grew weary of waiting for the King and began to leave. Helene didn't know why but she found herself running towards the man and grabbed his arm. "Don't! If you get out of here without direct orders from the King, he's going to throw you in jail again! We're already given a second chance despite all the horrible things we did. Please don't throw away this chance to do better in life." She pleaded to Razol where she could also sense a very dark aura coming from him.

Kyran mentioned that he'd have to leave due to something he needed to be done first which Sakura understood. After he took his leave, she went back to her table and was unsurprised though sad that her companions weren't there. Of course, they would be on the dance floor, enjoying the symphony and magical ambiance of the Grand Ball by dancing the night away with their partners. It didn't bother the demoness that much. She was always used to being alone whenever she was sent on an expedition by her father to complete a mission. She was always used to being alone in the shadows.

Right now, however, it was the first time Sakura felt alone in a very long time and she gradually hated that feeling. As she pondered and looked at her half-eaten meal, at first she was angry with Cade and Ayita. She believed they made her soft, warmed her cold heart. She would never feel this way if it weren't for all the times they spent together. However, the other part of her believed otherwise. They opened a pathway towards other emotions and memories, experiences that she will never have if she continued to stay under the wing of Aklenroth. In a way, she even felt grateful to those two.

She looked towards their direction. Even with their masks on, Sakura could tell they were smiling and enjoying the night. Just seeing them happy made Sakura happy as well. Just then, she felt something in her heart. She wasn't sure what it was before but now she knew the best word to describe it: doubt.

Why? Where did she feel doubtful for? She was very sure that she enjoyed spending time with Ayita and Cade. No, she felt doubtful towards something else... Or was it someone? Aklenroth? He raised her, treated her on how a father treats his daughter, and taught her everything there was to know about the world. Sakura owed her life to Aklenroth and any doubt towards his will was treacherous and absurd. A being as powerful as he chose to waste his precious time and energy to save a demon baby, the only survivor in a massacre of her own kin.

"But why would he put up a spell that prevents me from going there? Why, Father, why?". Sakura angrily whispered to herself.

A burst of random laughter from the crowd snapped her back to reality. She looked around and saw that everyone was having a great time. She sighed, she should really stop overthinking things. She should just focus on enjoying the night instead despite the circumstances. She decided to cross the bridge when she got there.

Just then, Sakura noticed a peculiar-looking man interrupting Ilan and the fairy princess' dance. She swore she had seen that man before and she couldn't put her finger on when and how she knew her exactly, but what she knew now was that he was rudely interjecting himself in the pair's dancing. Ilan was the sweetest faun Sakura has ever met and he amused her so much that she decided to include him on her 'To Not Kill' List. Anyone who bothered the adorable male faun was an automatic enemy of the wicked demon witch. Besides, this was a good chance to get on her good side too.

She approached the trio and laughed amusingly. "Well well, you look quite dashing, my dear." Sakura said to Ilan with a wink and bowed respectfully to Risa. "It is an honor to meet you, fairy princess. I've heard a lot of good things about you although I can't help but notice this man was rudely interrupting your dance, yes?". She gleefully said, giggling as she put her hand over Terneus'. "I advise you to find someone else to bother, good sir. You don't want to spoil everyone's fun now, do you?". Sakura sweetly said while looking up at Terneus with malice in her eyes.

Helene breathed a sigh of relief when her shackles were removed. She nervously followed along with the others towards the armory while rubbing her wrists. Why was it that she was the only one who's visibly nervous and afraid out of the whole group? Didn't they understand the graveness of the task ahead of them or do they simply not care about anything at all due to the coldness in their hearts? She was one to talk, she was branded as one of the worst of the worst among them. Did that mean she was as cold and uncaring too?

Her thoughts were interrupted when they arrived at the armory. They were to choose among the weapons laid out for them. Despite not knowing anything about combat, Helene was very amazed at the variety of weapons laid out before her. She glanced around and saw her fellow prisoners- well, sinners- were picking out their preferred choice of weapons. Her eyes even widened in surprise when one of them picked a chain whip out of all the possible weapons he could choose.

As for Helene, she just stood dumbfounded as the rest of them got fitted for their armor and got branded with their tattoos. She was getting filled with anxiety because she wasn't really a fighter type of girl but then she realized something. She continued to scan through the weaponry. If the king really did have a variety of weapons... There! She had a smile on her face, the first sincere smile she had in a while, as she found what she was looking for.

She was so glad to have found the king had multiple options for musical instruments, a classic choice for a bard if that's the right term for Helene's class. Guitars, violins, drums, there were so many to choose from. She then laid her eyes a golden handheld harp, adjusted the strings a bit and testing out its melody, and she knew she got herself a weapon.

Next, she got fitted for her armor. They saw her pick a harp as her weapon and they immediately knew they needed to fit her with something light yet could still protect her from a few hits so, in the end, she wore a red dress with a bit of armor plating, perfect for a bard like Helene. As a druid, she wasn't used to wearing something a bit heavy on her but times were different now. This heavy thing on her could end up saving her life one day and she just had to get used to it.

Lastly was her tattoo. She wanted to get it at the center of her lower back. It was a bit painful than she imagined but often times she would burst out laughing because she was ticklish. After a few moments, Helene was finally branded as the Sin of Sloth, something she knew she will never be proud of for the rest of her life.

"Oh dear heavens, what have I gotten myself into?". Helene sadly said aloud.

The Forest of Helsend

~ NEITH ~

---

Neith was bored out of her mind.

She had been traveling for days just trying to go to this god-forsaken village called Helsend. It wasn't exactly god-forsaken actually, there were lots of different folks milling about the streets and as far as she knew, the businesses here have been doing pretty well. She was just being overly dramatic because she gave up a huge opportunity to come here.

A few days before, Neith was offered to join by a group of elite assassins. They were all ruthless, cold, and very good at accomplishing their tasks. They found potential in Neith as they saw how dedicated she was in the mission, never caring about who she was targetting and they also liked how she always goes straight to the point. Neith felt this was her calling, a chance to become one of the greatest, and she also knew that payment here was beyond anything she could even think of. She could be so rich that she could buy a property at a tropical island, one of her biggest dreams.

However, that was before she knew anything. See, there were countless rumors circulating about the infamous forest beside Helsend. Some say it was cursed by the devil, others thought it was haunted by a hundred and thousand ghosts or any other things that were more ridiculous and extravagant than the last. It just so happened that Neith caught wind of one of those numerous rumors: deep within the forest laid the treasure of the old gods and was said to be filled with a bountiful amount of gold and precious jewels.

Neith, being the greedy woman that she was, had her eyes wide open in shock and amazement as she learned of this version of the forest's rumor. She was not naive to believe everything she just heard through word-of-mouth but, and that's a big but, if that rumor turned out to be true then she didn't have to worry about anything else in the whole world. If she got her hands on that precious treasure, she'd be so rich that she could buy the island and more, possibly the whole continent!

Deciding to take the chance, she ditched the group that offered her a place among their ranks and set foot towards Helsend Village. She was humming along happily on the first day of her journey but every subsequent hour after that, she was gradually feeling dread. Each step she made towards the village was making her filled with anxiousness and worrying. She couldn't believe she disregarded an opportunity that could turn her life for the better and decided to believe a stupid rumor. What if she made the wrong choice? What if she just made the dumbest decision of the century?

Too late to turn back now, Neith thought to herself. Despite her being a cold-hearted 'b' word, the dark elf will see anything she does to the end. She's not the type to become a coward and not finish something she started despite all the fear she felt. She thought that if she felt something negative about doing something then she believed she was doing the right thing for herself.

Besides, Neith had nothing to lose. She didn't have a family and she grew up learning how to fend for herself. Not one day passed that she didn't think that her parents abandoned her because they knew she would grow up one day to be an evil person who've done terrible things to survive, and she couldn't blame them. She hated herself so much at first but she learned that she needed to stop being harsh on herself. No one will care for her except her and no one will love her except her. The price of being independent, she guessed.

Upon arriving at the village, Neith was surprised to see it so... different. She expected a dark and abandoned type of village but no. Children ran around while people of all ages, sexes, and races greeted each other with warm smiles on their faces. A little dog demihuman girl waved and smiled at Neith and the dark elf awkwardly smiled back at the child before she ran to greet her friends. Neith hated sweet and sappy places like this but deep in her heart, she knew she fell in love with this village.

Upon entering the tavern called Yellowgrass, it was even warmer and more home-esque than the outside. People casually sharing a drink or two while laughing heartily and enjoying each other's company. Neith immediately felt out of place here as shown when she accidentally bumped against a robed figure.

"Hey watch where yo-". She immediately stopped herself. It was never wise to spread negativity at a place she just arrived upon. Besides, she was on a mission to know more about the rumor she heard about the forest near Helsend and she needed to be nice to their locals to succeed. "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention. She girly and sheepishly said to the robed man who she thought looked kind of cute, putting her hand over his arm in a friendly yet 'friendly' type of way.

TIME: Late Afternoon

INTERACTIONS: Ayita @13org, Cadence @Helo, Zelginn @Dezuel, Kyran @Alivefalling

"Dancing isn't that complex. No matter what form, you should just have to follow your- No, it's not for blowing your nose. Wait, don't put the nap- And there he goes." Sakura was talking to Ayita and Cade about dancing before she was interrupted by Zelginn doing his childish antics again. She didn't know why but there was something about him that intrigued her. He was an innocent little prankster or he was a creature doing a perfectly good imitation at that. He acted like he was just an immature child but Sakura could see the smartness behind Zelginn's eyes like he knew more than what he showed. Maybe it was just her nerves messing with her mind. Either way, she just rolled her eyes as Zelginn followed his own paper crane towards his dance partner.

She also watched as their group was approached by a lady, or rather she approached Cade. Judging from her mannerisms, she acted like a kid who was forced to attend a party by her parents. Sakura also felt the same way about this at first but her whole outlook changed when she remembered she liked attending parties. Pride hosted the most extravagant of parties back at Daka Island and he always had parties right and left, making sure that no one will forget how proud he was of his very luxurious lifestyle.

She just left the pair be and look at her own crane. It seemed like it was trying to fly away to guide her but it couldn't because she didn't want to move yet as she was still enjoying the food. "Oh come on. Can't the dance wait-". Sakura stopped mid-sentence when she was approached by a man, obviously her dance partner. She raised her eyebrow at him, looked back at her unfinished food and shrugged before looking back at him and giving him a kind smirk. "It seems that I am. Ayita, Cade, see you guys later." She said as she took Kyran's hand and stood up, wrapping her arm around his.

"Ayita dear, don't let your nerves get the best of you. Enjoy the night! Cade, take your lazy arse off the chair. Don't you dare make a lady wait!". Sakura called out to her friends as she walked with her partner towards the dance floor.

"A... A new evil?". Helene stammered. Even just at a glance, the druid was the weakest among the group when it came to physical strength. She didn't know how to defeat a great evil just by her alone. Like what Urdina said, it's true that no one was truly alone and it will take the efforts of many to bring great change to the world. Even when her kind threw her out, Helene still greatly loved her kin and she will do what it took to protect them.

She looked on as the others said their name and sin aloud in accordance to the king. Sniffling and wiping away the tears from her eyes, she took a deep breath and calmed herself down. "I, Helene the Sin of Sloth, accept your offer." Helene proclaimed. Though resolute, she feared that the path she decided to take will lead her down to horrors she could never truly fathom.

Helene flinched as the light hit her eyes. She looked around and saw that she was in the king's court along with the other prisoners. She was getting more and more anxious at how much time she spent in her prison cell. Despite all her efforts, she still couldn't erase the sight of Urdina's corpse in her mind along with the furious looks and shouts of the other druids. They were right, she really was the worst of her kind. In those times that she spent in her cell, Helen repeatedly blamed herself for Urdina's death, the only person who truly cared for her and loved her like her own daughter. She would be crying whenever she's awake though she spent more time in sleeping the pain and sadness away.

Now that she's in front of the king, she felt that her time was up and she was about to be executed along with the others. She wondered what they did to end up in such a state. It's probably a lot worse than what she did or just as equally worse. She didn't care anymore. Helene did a terrible crime to her kind and she deserved to be punished.

"Y-Your Highness..." Before she could continue, she broke down in tears and her wailing echoed throughout the court. "Your Highness, I did something terrible! P-Please... Punish me! I deserve it for being a w-w-weakling!". Helene further said, tears streaming down her face as she continued to cry out in sadness.

INTERACTIONS: Ayita @13org, Cadence @Helo, Zelginn @Dezuel

The demoness let out a sigh of relief. It looked like none of her father's lackeys and even himself noticed her presence. Though part of her wanted to get a chance to get to talk to the Lich King, she understood that he had to protect his identity. Of course, he had to wear the most regal and expensive clothes in all of the lands even in his disguise. How typical of Father, she thought to herself. She did receive a piece of paper with numbers on it like Cade, Ayita, and the rest. She wondered who her dance partners will be...

Sakura was also one of the many who stared at the woman who just came in. She couldn't believe that the girl who started it all, the one they call Risa she believed, was right here in the flesh in the same room where Aklenroth was. Her eyes suddenly widened at the realization of what will be happening later tonight. Was this the day he'll finish her and end the rebellion once and for all? What will Sakura do once chaos ensues in the ballroom? A voice in her wanted to walk straight to the regal-looking woman right now and finish her herself but the other voice also wanted to wait and see how the night will turn out instead. She chose to follow the latter.

Besides, she figured it was probably just her getting anxious and jittery and stuff. It's been a long time she had seen Aklenroth. She was kind of enjoying the part of her life where she didn't have to kill anybody, where she could go on without ever worrying about the constant impending doom of disappointing her father.

Nevertheless, the stares eventually lingered down and everyone went back to mingling with their own peers but she could tell some still stole glances at the her. Sakura just raised an eyebrow at her and turned her attention away from her. Only a fool like her would go to a very dangerous place and risk herself getting killed or maybe she was just an attention hog. Either way, Sakura was certainly sure she was way prettier than her.

"Compliment them, the rich and mighty love it when they are praised. Of course, the night will be full of fake smiles so you will feel your jaw ache after a while. Nevertheless, Cade was right for once. Be polite and respectful to them and there would be a good chance they'll do the same to you." Sakura said to Ayita. The demoness had lots of experience mingling with elitist and haughty nobles. She had been a VIP to the Demon Lord of Pride's parties. She then turned to Cade and sighed. "Never change, big guy. Never change."

She continued on with Ayita and Cade to the buffet. Every single food was really beautiful to look at and she bet they even tasted better when they're in her mouth. She got some food for her plate and was feeling bliss in every bite. She was about to advise Cade about using the cutlery when someone talked to her. She was a bit surprised when the 'someone' turned out to be a small someone. She looked at how of a messy eater he was and how he hid a chicken bone in a potted plant. She narrowed her eyes at him. Children.

"Unnecessary input but thank you for watching out for me, little one." Sakura sarcastically-but-still-kindly replied to the boy. She actually wanted to be snarkier but figured she wouldn't want to bring anyone down on such a wonderful night. "I will accept your offer for a drink if you take this table napkin to wipe the smudge off your face. Do we have a deal?". She said while offering him a clean white napkin. She suddenly saw her own paper glow and contort into a small butterfly, fluttering around and magically tugging her towards her partner. "But I'm still eating..."

Sloth

Name: Helene

Age: 18

Race: Druid

Sin: Grizzly's Sin of Sloth

Backstory/how they got their sin: Helene was a Druid that considered herself as a klutz. She always comically tripped over something and made a fool of herself, making the others dislike her because of her incompetence. Only her master Eudina was the only one who trusted the young Druid's capabilities, knowing that Helene was destined for greatness as she will be a part of something that will change the world for the better. Even though Helene was seemingly bad at anything, there is one thing she's extremely good at: playing songs.

Still, the other Druids felt very wary of trusting Helene. By the compassion of Eudine, they gave Helene a chance to redeem herself and to be regarded seriously as a Druid. Her task was to help Eudina keep watch for one whole night over their sacred grove and notify the other druids of any intruders who might violate and steal from it. That night, she and Eudine were keeping watch when they were suddenly ambushed by a group of Demons. Helene collapsed due to peer shock and fright, leaving Eudina to fend the demon group all on her own. The other Druids came just in time to help defeat the powerful Demons. However, Eudina suffered many deep wounds from fending them herself for such a long time and she was extremely poisoned from the wounds brought by the Demons, resulting in her death.

Meanwhile, Helene woke up when everything is done. To add insult to injury, she was very chipper and even claimed she had knowledge about what happened last night. This was the last straw as the Druids finally banished Helene from their grove as they deemed her incompetence to be the downfall of the Druids. They branded her as the Grizzly's Sin of Sloth as they accused her of rather taking a peaceful sleep than to help the people who needed her the most.

Powers:
Druid Exclusive:

• Healing: By channeling their power, druids can use the power of nature to heal grievous wounds that are considered fatal. This power has the opposite effect on demons when not controlled enough, hurting them and repelling their power.
• Purge: A secret druid technique that erases "abominable" souls, such as vampires and demons. It has also shown to be able to return human-turned-into-vampires back into humans, albeit still killing them.
  Innate Power

Innate:

Harmony: Helene conjures her magic through music. She can sing in order to cast spells, though her magic is more focused when she uses musical instruments in casting.

• Song of Courage: A song that constantly improves the strength, speed, and stamina of the user and her allies as long as it's played.
• Song of Slumber: A song that puts all who hears it to sleep, excluding the user's allies if she wishes to.
• Song of Bliss: A song that alleviates the mood of any who hears it, making them feel positive, relaxed, and happy.
• Song of Havoc: A song that sends forth waves of magical energy to attack the user's enemies.

Side effects of powers: Using of her powers will make Helene sleepy as a result. The longer she plays a song, the more she feels sleepy afterward.

Sacred treasure:

Blessed Muse Haravel:

A harp created by the Goddess Clan with materials not found on Earth, embellished by the figures of angelic beings . Each string has a specific magical purpose. Haravel brings out the best in Helene as it greatly improves her magic and spellcasting to the highest power. Her spells are more effective and potent and the harp also increases the range of her Harmony to affect as many targets as she could. When using Haravel, Helene would not feel as sleepy and tired as normal when using her power Harmony.

Extras:

Tattoo

Bright yellow at the center of her lower back

@Sharidi37495 thank you! I originally thought of making a Fairy but I remembered King was one too so I changed it to Druid instead hehe

@Jasper19 Will edit this to her CS but her main power is Harmony which is using music to make spells such as healing, buffs, and other stuff. Basically her Sacred Treasure allows her to amplify her Harmony and make her spells better. In using it, she also doesn't feel drowsy after spell-casting anymore.
