The setting is 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 in some way.
The RP will start on the evening that the fight is supposed to take place on, and our characters will be getting prepared for the upcoming war.
Now lets get this out of the way, the list of sins and their corresponding RP'er
Sloth - Myself
Wrath - Filled
Greed - Filled
Gluttony - Filled
Lust - Filled
Pride - Filled
Envy - Filled
This isn't going to be first come first served, I'll leave this open for awhile and after getting CS applications for each role, I'll decide who I believe is the best character fit for that role. Speaking of CS, here's the template
Name: (your characters actual name, if you wish to include it)
Title: (what sin)
Age: (Late teens to early 20s preferably)
Gender:
Appearance: (Any type of pic or description is fine)
Personality: (Make it work with the sin you want to take)
Abilities: (Outside of your power, areyou skilled with weapons, martial arts, other such skills)
Power: (What your power is)
How you joined the sinners:
Personal Arc:
So, for the second to last section, it's going to work like this. My character is going to be the "founder" of the sinners, so for "how you joined the sinners", I want you to create a basic scenario of how your character came to meet mine and then join the newly found gang.
And for the last section, personal arc, I want you guys to write up a short summary of what a possible personal story arc could be for your character. I want each of our characters to have some time in the "spotlight" so to speak, to let them become more fleshed out and feel important to the story.
Name: N/A
Title: Sloth
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Personality: Sloth is, as her name would suggest, lazy. She's lazy to the point that she can sometimes be more of a detriment to the gang than an asset and leader as she is supposed to be. So for the most part, she can be found generally wasting time with pointless gaming, sleeping, and other such lazy habits, but she has a sort of switch in her head. Whether she's lazy cause she's conserving energy or not is a debate amongst all who know her for the simple point that she is somewhat of a genius and great fighter. When she flips her switch, she goes from being a useless person, to a true leader that is at the front of the group and making sure everyone stays focused. Once it's done, she goes back to her lazy attitude, sometimes even having someone else carry her back for putting in so much effort.
Abilities: As stated previously, Sloth is not only strong, but she's smart as well. She can make quick decisions and exploits weaknesses fairly well, whether it be in strategy, or actual fighting. She is good at fighting one on one because she's skilled in several martial art forms, and she's also pretty good with computers. However, she uses her wits, reflexes, and strength, mainly to just play video games and be a general bum.
Power: So, originally I had sloth slated as basically just superman with the drawback of having to sleep for 15 minutes for every minute she uses her super human abilities, but instead I'm opting for this.
Sloth's power is the ability to create a second body. This body is a mass of black energy (similar to the gas that infects everyone) that takes a humanoid shape, but it can shift it's shape to form blade arms and basically can just shift the mass of it's body to create weapons and other effects. The drawback is that Sloth herself falls unconscious, as she's actually taking direct control of this second body. It's basically a shape-shifting monster body she controls, but her real body is left vulnerable, so if she gets attacked when she's using this ability, it will be interrupted and she can't use it until she can stop her new attackers and get back into the second body.
How you joined the sinners: Sloth is the creator of the sinners. She has a multitude of reasons for creating the sinners. She wants money, she wants power, she wants to be a kingpin of sorts in their home city, and she wants to be at the top, but it's obviously not her true reason. Whatever the reason for her starting the sinners is, it's not something that she's just going to divulge to anyone.
Personal Arc: I'm leaving this blank, as this will also tie into to major story arc. I will say this, the reason for Sloth creating the sinners will be revealed during this arc.
So, this CS fill out might seem a little bare bones, but I did this purposely because I want to have character develop and reveal their nature and background throughout the RP. Since this will be character driven, I want the characters to be fleshed out and grow as we RP everything out and become "people" if you get what I mean.
So, with this all done, the OOC is set and I'll be waiting for more character submissions.

I was thinking the base is just an HQ that we meet up at, unles you want to go for a teen titans type of approach and have them live there
EDIT: And alright, pretty sure we aren't that many at this point anyways.

Well I know for sure that poly isn't using the dimensional storage ability since that's greed and he's going for envy, so if you want to stick with that I'm pretty sure that's available.
And if there are no objections, then I think an OOC is in order. I'll have that up probably tomorrow, but maybe tonight, and I'll link it here when I'm finished.

I'm thinking about beginning the RP in the newly built base of the new super hero team. We'll basically begin where everyone will be meeting as the full team at the start of the RP.
Well we all get our powers the same way, we all are in the building when the black gas cloud is released and gives everyone their abilities or just kills them.
The Sinners are a new gang that recently formed with these 7 characters as the first members. we're all gonna be below 25 (Was thinking teen gang violence would be the most fitting for this setting) so all of our characters are part of the gang from the start. Whether they're friends or just people with the same goal of becoming formidable and feared gangsters, it is focused on these 7 new faces getting powers and what they do as this new gang made up of power users.

No CS? I don't think I mentioned there being no CS or anything like that, might've been a miscommunication on my part.
There will be a CS for everyone to fill out, but it's not gonna be an extensively large CS or anything like that. Just a basic sheet so we know what the characters look like, name, age, gender, ability summary, maybe personality summary, and the last one is a big MAYBE, how they joined the sinners.
Also, seeing as we all that's left is greed, I'm gonna ask everyone this to establish the next bit. Do we want to have the RP take place before we get the powers, and have that come as a development? Or do we want to start off with the powers? Or maybe start off the RP at the scene where we'd get the powers?

So basically for this lust, she can manipulate people by manipulating their lust for whatever it is they desire. However, if she uses this too much, she'll end up lusting for the person she controls. Alright, ties into the sine itself pretty well and has a neat and good drawback.
So, to sum up the current situation. Sloth was already off the table, so we had envy, lust, wrath, gluttony, and pride applied for, and we still need a greed if I'm not mistaken, right?

So until tomorrow night for me the character application period is still open for you guys.
Well at this point, I'm just going to let everyone fill in the gaps of each role and move on from there. Seems like everyone has some great ideas for th powers so I"m sure you guys can handle this without my interference at this point lol
