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]
