Anyone else who can't stop thinking about the Fullmetal Alchemist take on the 7 deadly sins? I know this isn't the same, but man, I keep thinking about it.
@Dealdric Awesome, sounds good and I can fit to that.
Can I finish the main thread now?
I hope that wasn't as sassy as it sounded in my head! xD Since we aren't in your head and this is original content, its hard for us to know what you're thinking and what would fit in the world or not. Me asking about more was not a critique or criticism. Excited for the main thread and to read what you've got.
Okay, happy to modify it however. I tried to write vaguely on purpose and I think it'll help when we have the OOC thread for you to put your ideas on paper. It's a little unclear what the significance of Sin-hood is and what leads to that and why these characters have been cast out-- so we can solidify that in the main thread.
In the mean time though, it sounds like as Sins, they are too powerful for the idea of just being overrun by other demons. So maybe there is some meta reason why all of these Sins are being cast out of Hell at the same time? (Like a change of Archfiends or something) That would give all of our characters reason for being on the surface and give us a mutual enemy as we strive to regain our power and return (if that's what we want). What'chu think?
Mag'mora The Collector Mag'mora The Insatiable Valgrath Reg'anvrel Soot-spawn She goes by many names...
Gender
Typically female, though known to manifest as however she pleases.
Appearances
"What is it your heart desires? No, not heart, perhaps a little lower..."
Lust most often favors the form of a pale and slender blonde woman with a penchant for taut dresses and high heels. She is the inciter, the tease the instigator. Every look is practiced, not a hair out of place. She strides with a purposeful, self-assured demeanor.
Lust's human disguise extends beyond those craving the female form. With perfect hair, a piercing gaze and a knowing smile, he seems endlessly amused by some naughty joke. His suave demeanor is effortless and confident.
Mag'mora's true form is effervescent and ever shifting, but unyielding when she chooses. 'She' has many mouths full of teeth, wispy appendages with claws and pincers, and elongated black wings stitched together from various leathers.
Pre-Sin-hood Biography
Personality & Age
Mag'mora wasn't always so sensational. She crawled from the shadows, the nooks and crannies of the Underworld where collected the soot and grime of lives past. Incrementally, she formed, rolling from den to den, collecting their shorn off pieces and emotions. She liked those. Growing, meandering and assembling the body parts and feelings from other demons, Mag'mora eventually grew into her own power. She could produce any appearance from her little collection. She could cause any emotion to brew and bubble over in those around her. Though destined for greatness, she was accosted by her lessers as they desired their sentimentality back. Ripped to shreds, Mag'mora reassembled herself piece by piece, finding only one passion left: Lust. She grew into this niche just as she had before, engorged with the desires of others given willingly, wantonly, but forsaken by her peers and banished to live among the mortals.
Lust is, as most or all demons, evil. She craves power. However, unlike other demons, she can pry it from mortals and demons alike in the form of their passion, their love, their desires, their desperation. She is cool, manipulative, arrogant, vain and merciless. Mag'mora is one of the oldest of demons, fallen though she has. As soon as there was touch, there was Lust.
Likes and Dislikes
Special Sin Ability
In the absence of direct acquisition power, Lust desires beautiful people and things. She likes precious metals, gems, anything that others seem to put a value in. She enjoys putting on the façade of a delicate creature, woe-beholden to being carried around by her lessers. She dislikes weakness and fools. She has a sharp tongue, a quick wit, and will not abide authority over her.
"Mortals are so easy to play with." Mag'mora possesses a slew of forms, from traditionally attractive and luxuriously sexy to horror-bound and sanity-testing. While she cannot use her power to manipulate the emotions of others as she once could, she certainly has an edge when it comes seducing a mortal to do what she wants.
OOC Notes Pronouns: While normally I would totally stick to one gender for a character, this creature is something different. She is an abomination of pieces from countless demons and mortals and can manifest however she pleases. I'm using the 'she/her/hers' pronouns predominately, but there might be times when she appears male! Then we can use 'he/him/his' pronouns, or not. It doesn't matter and just to be completely clear: this isn't a commentary about transgender characters and pronoun usage. This is literally a demon.<3 Mature Content: Even though I'm playing literally Lust, don't worry about reading smut! Yes, she'll flirt with everything and make some naughty comments, but that's it. Any sex this character is involved with will only be implied.
Hi guys-- Did anyone have dibs on Lust or Envy? I am inspired by this idea and would gladly write for either of them, or potentially Gluttony, depending on what other people want/where I fit best. I'll work on and post a CS for Lust once we get an OOC thread. I think I can do her justice. I'm rusty on forum roleplaying, but if you'll have me, I'd love to join.
I'm Lily. I have been scouring the internet (casually checking out sites on the weekend) and I think this might be the one.
I've been writing since I was itty bitty and roleplaying for probably like 15 years. Now I'm a big kid and I want STORIES. I've done a lot of tabletop gaming, but that's not really what I'm here for-- I want to engage in some collaborative storytelling.
Mostly, I enjoy fantasy settings and am interested in finding some short and long term writing partners to develop characters, write overarching plots and generally just scheme with.
Also tomorrow is my birthday. :D
Thanks for having me! <3 Excited to join the community!
