Holy Soldier

The Seven Deadly Sins [LF Lust and Sloth]

@NobodiesHeroI haven't said anything pertinent that I haven't already posted in here. I honestly thought you and @Loki Odinson we're going to do your own thing for the time being because you said that you had something planned.

The Seven Deadly Sins [LF Lust and Sloth]

Character: Evelyn Caroline
Location: The Unnamed Swamp
Tagging: The First Sin - Sloth @AllHollowsEve@Majoras End
Summary: Eve is conversing with Sloth. The swamp opens to a river before a small town

Eve watched Eliphas, wishing that there was something that she could do. He laughed, but she could see his pain and even hear it in his voice. She clutched the gauntlet’s finger nervously as she thought, was he really all right? Eve rested her head against the gauntlet as Eliphas began asking her questions. The first one should have been easy, but he could see her brows, masked in the grayish-brown mud twist upward in uncertainty. She thought about her answer, and then decided to be honest.

“I wasn’t going anywhere specific. I was running, and I have been running this entire time. I need the Seven Deadly Sins to help me reclaim my family’s kingdom from the Church of the White,” she explained. He could see her eyes glimmering as they started to tear over. She sniffed and wiped her tears away as she continued on a whimper, “They have my parents. They are trying to pretend that they are keeping them safe, but the stories are a lie. They’re chasing me to lock me up too. Great Knight Mineaus just wants me to marry him, and I refuse. If nothing is done, then who knows how long my parents will remain captured.”

Shaking her head, the stress was overwhelming, Eve apologized, “I am so sorry. I am such a crybaby. I have never been outside the castle before until now and I am terrified and want to go home - but I can't. I was afraid that I would not survive my quest until I ran into you. I am so grateful.”

She wiped her eyes and smiled with hope. “This must be fate. You could have been anywhere and yet I found you. You showed so much strength Mr. Sloth—uhm!” If her cheeks weren’t caked in mud, he would have seen her blush in embarrassment for having called him by his sin. “I’m sorry. I heard the Holy Knight address you, but I cannot remember your name and the poster I had was ruined. You and the other sins are wanted criminals for your past sins, but even so…I don’t know how to explain it. It just feels right. If you had truly been an awful person, you wouldn’t have saved me from them. You even saw them for what they are. Bad men.”

At Eliphas’s request, Eve nodded. “Oh yes, Sir Knight.” She addressed him with an honorary title. It seemed suitable for her savior. She gazed ahead, staring through a path that cut through the boughs as though the water was flowing through a wooden archway. Ahead of the dark canopy, she saw a bright light and informed, “There’s a clearing ahead. The sun is shining brightly there.”

The swamp water became wider and led to a river. The trees were soon left behind, revealing a small village.

Currently trying to decide who the next Sin to be picked up will be. I will say to the players looking to join, when you write a current story, give your character a concrete location. Also, no more mercenary bands please. It is overdone.

The Seven Deadly Sins [Recruiting Storyweavers! LF Lust and Sloth]

@KiltmanBagzDrop a CS and writing sample involving the character you created in the OOC.

The Seven Deadly Sins [LF Lust and Sloth]

@ItalicizedSend a CS and a writing sample involving the character you are creating.

The Seven Deadly Sins [LF Lust and Sloth]

@KawaiiKyoukoI wouldn't have made that sample post quick. Prior to me starting this game, the players in this game had to go through a pretty rigorous review of their CSes and sample posts in order to get selected to be in this game. I don't approve everyone who applies. I only approve those who demonstrate they can post at the required level and demonstrate how well they can write their character or even carry a story. Your sample post does not show me those things, and therefore, I have to reject your CS. It is no offense. But I am running this game more strictly than my others.

The Seven Deadly Sins [LF Lust and Sloth]

@KawaiiKyoukoI recommend you refer to the IC and read about Fairy Island. I also need a writing sample from you involving the character you wish to play.

@AllHollowsEveI'm not keeping tabs on you dude. Post when you are able to. I set up a discord for a reason to keep those waiting entertained.

Character: Evelyn Caroline

Tagging: The First Sin - Sloth @AllHollowsEve
Summary: Eve is shocked to have found one of the Sins, and after his battle, fears for his life.

Her savior came out of nowhere. Just when she felt the mud rising to her head, she felt something lift beneath her, scooping her from the muck and water. Eve gasped and spat away the mud that coated her lips. If she had been a lady, it was near lost beneath all the mud and weed. She was fortunate that her eyes hadn’t been covered for she would have nothing to clean them with. Her eyes opened, gazing at the open palm beneath her hands. She hadn’t realized that a hand was what it actually was until her head snapped up. She saw the large fingers that protectively formed a barrier around her and her skin prickled. Was she in the hand of a giant?

Eve turned around, still on her knees, and saw that there was a second gauntlet with a lone man standing within it. The gauntlets weren’t attached to a giant as she had suspected. They weren’t attached to anything. She watched in awe as the man irritably addressed the soldiers. When the lieutenant identified the man to be a Sin, she felt her heart skip. She had found one. She desperately reached into her slip, removing what was once a poster but what turned out to be a soggy piece of paper that fell apart in her hands. Dropping the useless scraps, she sighed sullenly. She had no way to identify if the lieutenant’s claim was true, but from their further exchange she could only assume so. She gasped in startle when the gauntlet moved beneath her, dropping her off onto a small island of dry overgrown swamp grass.

The girl rose to her feet, her hands clutching each other as she nervously continued to listen to the two’s exchange. She smiled in relief when Eliphas chose not to turn her over to the Holy Knight, and then tensed when the lieutenant ordered his men to capture her any way. She fearfully faced the charging men and jumped in fright when one of the colossal gauntlets slammed down on top of two of the soldiers before sending them flying into the other three. As the soldiers fell into the bog, Eve’s attention was drawn to the Holy Knight as he drew his sword.

“Be careful! That’s no normal weapon, it’s an arc!” she warned Eliphas. She didn’t know if he would know what an arc was, but he seemed to possess some powerful magic. Or maybe…she recalled her father telling her how each of the Sins each possessed a powerful arc of their own. The princess felt only awe, watching the Sin combat the Holy Knight. He actually stood a chance. Normal men couldn’t take on an entire squad of White servants.

“Look out!” Eve exclaimed. She couldn’t have warned him soon enough for the lieutenant had moved in a blink to bury his knee into Eliphas’s stomach. The gauntlets made a scramble to try and nab him, but he was too fast. Eve continued to clutch her hands, praying silently for Eliphas to succeed. Her hands went to her mouth, her eyes going wide when she saw Lucien’s blade plunge through Eliphas’s chest and out the back. When the Sin fell to the ground, Eve lowered her hands and shook her head in disbelief. No; I just found one. This can’t happen. The legend said they were unstoppable!

Eve backed away from the Holy Knight when he demanded she go with him. He glanced again at the bog. Blinking the tears from her eyes, she defiantly growled at the lieutenant, “I would rather drown!”

When the lieutenant was suddenly rammed by the gauntlets, her eyes widened, watching him fly into the shallows. A trap snagged his foot and dragged the angry man off into the swamp. The gauntlets were gentle with Eliphas. When they approached her, she gazed upon the wounded man feeling only sadness. It was a strange feeling. She hadn’t even known him and yet she felt as though something dear to her had been harmed. She gazed over at the left gauntlet that beckoned her with the curl of its finger. The gesture made her skin crawl a little. That would take some getting used to. She walked over and stepped into the hand, lowering to her knees for fear she might fall. She crawled over to one of the fingers and held it as she gazed over at Eliphas.

“You’re one of the Sins. There are seven of you and I have been searching for all of you,” she informed. She then wiped some tears and mud from her cheeks. “So you can’t die because I need your help.”

@AllHollowsEveGo ahead and finish the scene up. You're already controlling them. You might as well finish. A post is only too long if you don't give your partner a chance to respond. The current scene was GM directed for you to either finish it yourself or let the GM do so. If you already start it, then you are going to finish it. You're already playing him different from what I would have. The NPC doesn't need a multiple personality.
