The Sinners (Looking for 6 others besides myself)

So for pride you say being to able to shift the user's appearance to appear as what someone else idolizes, so basically being able to turn into their idol/role model, like a specific famous person, family member, or other specific people. I like it, maybe for a draw-back the longer the user uses the ability, the more they lose the memory of what they originally looked like, and if they use it for say, over a day, they completely lose memory of what their real self looked like.

For gluttony, yeah this sin is pretty straight forward. I mean the only drawback I can think of is that if he consumes too much at once, he just vomits up everything he eats and can't eat anything else for a while, and that draw-back has some advantages too, being able to basically puke up a mass of objects at people attacking you. Still, for a straight forward sin, the draw-back shouldn't be to big either, in my opinion at least.

Anyways, so we have one entry for pride and one for gluttony, so need at least 4 more submissions (1 for each of the other sins)

The Sinners (Looking for 6 others besides myself)

It's not first come first serve, I'm gonna be picking people based on who I believe has the best idea for each character role. So please post your idea, if no one else applies then it'd be safe to assume you're accepted.

The Sinners (Looking for 6 others besides myself)

So, I have one group oriented RP that focuses on super heroes in the works at the moment. Check that out here. Seeing as I want to have a few RP's going on at the moment, I decided to start another RP up at the other end of the spectrum of Super heroes, super villains.

The setting itself will be in modern day NYC (or another large bustling city with a lot of bad neighborhoods and gang violence). The RP will follow "The Sinners" a gang made up of seven individuals that each take on a nickname of one of the seven deadly sins. At first, everything is normal, but then a huge gang war breaks out (think "Warriors" movie but instead of one gang being the target, everyone is out for everyone else) and during a large fight in an abandoned building, there's an explosion. Black gas is released throughout the building and everyone inside is knocked out. After awakening, our characters, and the other gangs there, wake up feeling sick. Some of them die, others go crazy, but for a select few (probably 50 or so others besides our characters) they come to realize they have abilities. So what happens?

Well, everything goes back to how it was before, but with powers now. The gang members with powers use them to commit crime, fight other gangs, and other such things. Our characters will, unlike the other gangs, where only a few people got powers, all have received a power that corresponds with the sin they're named after.

At first, I thought I'd just create the powers for each sin and then let you guys put your own spin and style on it, but I decided now that each player can come up with their own power, as long as they can justify it fitting with their sin.

For example I'll be taking one sin off the table (as this will be the sin I will be RP'ing as), sloth. Sloth is basically the sin of being lazy, so how would this translate into a power? Well, I think that having sloth basically be a power house would make the most sense. Strongest, fastest, smartest, etc. Basically a super human. The drawback of course, that also relates this back to the sin of sloth, is that for every minute they use their true power, they have to sleep for 15 minutes afterward a certain amount of time passes without using that power. Basically, sloth could destroy a building within a minute's time by focusing the support structure and breaking them with bare fists, but after that, sloth would be unconscious for 15 minutes.

As long as the power ties in somehow (in sloth's case, the drawback is what makes the power work with the sin) then it'll probably be fine. Like wrath could be able to make weapons out thin air or blood (both their own blood and blood of the enemies they beat) or lust could produce pheromones that put men and/or women under their control.

So, I need at least 6 other people, each person willing to fill up a position of the 6 remaining sins. Let me put a list of them up right now.

-Wrath
-Greed
-Gluttony
-Pride
-Envy
-Lust

I know that there's also a lot of other stories and media that use the idea of the seven sins as antagonists (FMA for example comes to mind) but I just want to do something fun/evil since I'm gonna also be running a Super hero RP. :)

If you're interested, post what role you'd like to fill, and also a small description of what you think would be a good power for that role.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, but this will be a character driven RP with an arc like story that will come into play after we establish the characters and such. I'd actually like to devote the first segment of the RP to arcs that focus on each of the 7 main characters one at a time, helping to establish them and also define their relationships with the other members. I like deep well written characters to be developed throughout the RP, so we can see growth and changes, not just have a CS that's boring and lists everything.

Super Hero RP

I'm glad that everyone is being so civil about all of this, makes my life easier, as well as everyone's life too. So, we have good cases for both sides, and if doesn't trouble either party involved, I would like to see concepts for second characters. They don't have to be fully fleshed out, just a bare bones idea of what the character is and does as a hero. Enough to give us an idea of how they'd work in this RP.

However if you don't want to shard, that's fine. I want to try and keep a calm environment without forcing anyone to do anything as long as it doesn't conflict with the rules previously established.

Super Hero RP

You make a good point, I never even considered that. I was only thinking small picture, while you were working with like, the sistine chapel size painting...You get my point. So unless anyone wants to provide a counter point, I actually pull back my previous statement and think this character should stay.

Super Hero RP

I find that this is an interesting character, but having one non-human/ancient mysterious race kind of situation might be a little repetitive. Like, a lot of the interactions will be coming into cultural barriers and dealing with the fact that they aren't humans in a human dominated society, meaning that they might start to seem like the same type of character at certain points. I like the character overall, but I'm just worried that this character and the other non-human will fall into the same scenarios, making it a little bland.

However, I did say I would bring other's people consideration into this, so for everyone else interested in the RP, what are your opinions on this character? Should we keep it, or have him submit his other character?

Super Hero RP

That's cool too, and it's not a definite no either so if I was you, I'd just post both characters. That's something I should mention, if you guys want to submit multiple ideas that's fine as well. I'll pick whichever one fits best, based on my own opinion and I'll ask everyone else involved as well

Super Hero RP

Well since we already have one non-human, it's safe to say that the existence of non-humans are common knowledge at this point. As for another non-human character, it depends. Is it a humanoid with non-human features (like wings etc, like the one already submitted) or is it something completely non-human like/alien? Cause having another humanoid would be kind of meh, but an alien being (and I mean alien as in different too humans, not an actually alien, though that would be cool too) would be interesting to include.

Super Hero RP

Alright, another interesting character. To my understanding, she's kind of like Danny Phantom, except she has to leave her body to use her ghost powers instead of just changing to a ghost form. I also like the personal arc concept as well.

Now, seeing as we finally have some characters, I figure we move on to the next aspect of this RP. Now, since it is a character driven story, we need to establish something pretty important in my opinion. Relationships. How will everyone act around and toward one another is probably one of the most important aspects of a character driven RP, if not the most important aspect.

Once we have a finalized roster, I want to start working on this, but as of now, I want you guys to start considering how you'll interact with one another.

PS, I made an edit to my character normal personality. I figured having someone that can't talk to us easily and having a normally shy girl means that mine should probably be a little more open XD.

Super Hero RP

Alright apparently there's no way to delete these posts...
