And their collective time in costume comprises less than one minute of the whole movie. Not to mention Madame Web was already played to perfection by Stan Lee’s WIFE in the 90’s.

Hosts: The Enemy Within
Have you ever wondered why bad things happen to good people? Why, even when we try our best, things always seem to go wrong? Well that's because there are forces out there beyond our control. Forces that run wild in the human plane and seek to cause only chaos and destruction. We call them Demons. Most of them are harmless enough, but some are the soldiers of the king of Gehenna himself: Lucifer.
Several millennia ago, Lucifer and his army tried to conquer the mortal plane. Lacking the means to permanently kill the Demons, the humans were left with little to do but run and hide. When all seemed lost, a secret society of monks known as the Order of Ascalon discovered a method that - while not able to outright kill a Demon - was able to remove them from the equation. The method in question involved using a ritual that sealed the Demon within a willing human body. With his army being 'captured', Lucifer had little choice but to return to Gehenna and recoup his losses. For the humans who now carried demons within them, they became the Hosts.
While many minor demons were captured and sealed away, there were seven who's capture was essential to the humans surviving the war. The Seven Generals of Hell's army: the Sins of Sloth, Wrath, Pride, Envy, Greed, Lust, and Gluttony. Seven Hosts were chosen as those with strong moral fiber to resist the temptations of the Sins. For the rest of their now immortal lives, these seven Hosts would live in a constant mental war against the seven most powerful demons in history.
The Setup
Fast-Forwarding to modern day, The Seven - as these Hosts have come to be known - are now living among us as regular people. Their lives are no different from yours or mine, save for the fact they are under constant pursuit by Lucifer. The spiteful King of Gehenna wants to invade the mortal plane again, but he needs the Sins to lead his armies.
After millennia of battling Lucifer's forces, The Seven have discovered they can briefly tap into the powers of their respective demons. This provides them an edge to fight back against the hordes Lucifer sends after them, but it comes at the cost of having to give in to the demonic influence (i.e. The Gluttony Host will become a glutton himself for a brief period after using gluttony's powers). In addition, exposure to demonic energy has made the Seven invincible to conventional damage, but spiritual and magical attacks can still harm them just fine.
All the while, the Sins have their own agendas. While they seek freedom, they each have different thoughts and ideas about how to secure it. If the Host were to simply relinquish the demon, the Sin would be set free. Or... if the Host were to die, the Sin could leave the body easily; no longer bound to a soul. How your Demon goes about battling their respective Host is yours to decide as you write.
Curses
Each Sin also has a unique effect on the humans they inhabit. Think of this as part of how they torture their Host to get them to relinquish the Sins. Each Curse involves a form of torture that is specific to the Sin's attributes. For example, Lust's Curse could be making her host constantly look like the most attractive and 'beautiful' person in the room. As a result, all the people want that person, but it's born from lustful desire rather than genuine attraction.
This RP is first come first served for roles. However, if you plan to play a Host, please remember it's important for you to make timely updates to the RP. If you don't get a spot as a Seven Deadly Sins Host, I'm more than happy to make your character a Host for a Minor Demon, or a member of Ascalon. That being said, I'm happy you all showed interest and I'm curious to see if I can re-launch this.
As a side note, I'm still planning for this to be an rp where characters have a chance of dying. If your character dies as a Host, the demon will be freed, and a new Host will be required to seal it again... if you can recapture it.
Character Sheets
So here's a quick breakdown of all the stuff I'm looking for on your character sheets
Faceclaim: [what your character looks like]
Quote: [Let's see some of your character's personality!]
Name: [Pretty self-explanatory]
Age:
Appearance: [Basically put anything here that isn't specifically shown in the faceclaim]
Personality: [What are the strengths and flaws of your character? How do they respond to the world around them? Make sure you keep it balanced]
Biography: [Give us an intro to your character and the events that led up to them becoming a Host? Was there some major event in their past? These are the things I want to know! Two or three short paragraphs will work, but I'm not expecting a whole book]
Sin: [What is your character's Sin/Demon? What is their backstory and personality? What sort of abilities does your character gain by having this Sin as your Host and what is the backlash?]
Curse: [What sort of Curse did your Sin place on your character? How does it affect them in their day to day life?]
Likes: [What are some things your character likes?.]
Dislikes: [What are some things your character dislikes?.]
Quirks: [What makes your character interesting/unique? Give me some of their more 'unique' traits. This can be more realistic things like being night person, or you can get a little ridiculous with some anime-style tropes if you wish]
@PerfectThought@The World@LuckyBlackCat Decided to move this to Advanced Interest Checks due to limited engagement + I'm having ideas for how to flesh out the world further. If you guys are still interested, you can find it there. Also, it's probably going to be first come first served for roles so keep that in mind.

The Sins
Sloth- Pride- Wrath- Envy- Greed- Lust- Gluttony-
Just in case more than seven people want to try this RP, I'm going to make an application process. You can make a claim to a particular Sin for your Host, but it's not a guarantee that you'll be accepted. If you don't get a spot as a Seven Deadly Sins Host, I'm more than happy to make your character a Host for a Minor Demon, or a member of Ascalon. That being said, I'm happy you all showed interest and I'm curious to see if I can re-launch this.

"Uh... Pokémon of Ruin?? W-what are those? I certainly wouldn't know," was all Harry managed to get out before he folded up his map and dashed out of the café. Once he was far enough away and his adrenaline died down, he smacked himself on the forehead. "Real smooth, Kleinberg. It's not like you've been studying this for the last two weeks." As if to emphasize his boneheaded nature, Striker suddenly perched on Harry's head and added a peck of his own.
"Ruff! Ruff!" the little bird chirped between pecks.
"Ouch! I get it, Striker!" Harry reached up a hand in a vain attempt to shoo his partner off his head, but to no avail. "Look, I know I said we'll need extra hands if we want to find these Pokémon, but I'm not ready yet." In response, his partner cooed. Striker remembered 'the incident' all too well to know that Harry had trouble when it came to making friends. For Arceus' sake, he likely wouldn't have approached Ms. Raifort were it not for Lenora's recommendation. With a sigh, Harry turned his attention toward Papas Academy. The morning bell would be ringing any minute and students were required to meet on the battle courts for the announcement of the "Treasure Hunt'. As he began to ascend the steps, Harry slid off his backpack and gently placed the map inside. He could worry about finding his travelling companions later.
"Why does everyone keep calling me Karen?! It's not my name!
Full Name: Katherine 'Karen' Nightstone
Age: 37 (Trying desperately to hide it)
Appearance: Katherine is a very put-together woman. She is almost always seen wearing her black business suit, skirt, and pumps around the Magicorp office. Her hair reaches to her shoulders, but she keeps it in a loose ponytail. She's also quite tall, standing at 5'9 without her heels on. Another item she is never seen without is her personal tablet, in which she keeps a record of her spells and contracts with the various Fey she's tamed.
Worldview: Katherine is the literal definition of a Type A personality. In her mind, every job at Magicorp - be it the business end or hunting monsters - should be planned out in meticulous detail. Katherine has dedicated her life to keeping the magical world secret from the mortals, and has painstakingly climbed each rung of the corporate ladder to get where she is. While she means well, her somewhat abrasive nature more often than not will rub her co-workers the wrong way.
Position: Administration - Hiring Manager
Magic: Katherine is a beast tamer by nature. Over the years she's formed numerous contracts with various Fey in order to perform her duties. Using her tablet as a medium, Katherine can key in one of her beast's information and summon them through the device. At last count, she had around one-hundred and twenty-five different creatures registered. While she uses less than ten for combat, the rest of them act as her 'agents' in the world, often keeping tabs on groups of other Fey to alert her if anything is amiss.
If she can't use her beasts, Katherine has limited access to mind control magics. While she's never fully perfected it, she can briefly take control of others' minds for periods of up to fifteen minutes given proper concentration.
