The Seven Deadly Sins. [b][u]You do not have to have seen this anime to participate in this game for this game is running on its own original setting.[/u][/b] I made this game a year ago, and now I'm bringing it back since the show has resumed with Season 2. But yeah, as it says above, you do not have to have seen the show at all. Just read this OOC and you will know what you're about to get into. I got rid of some old ideas that I felt didn't help the game much. This game will be [b]high fantasy[/b], which means majority of the creatures found in this game will be entirely of our imagination, and if they are creatures we want to keep in this game as common knowledge, then there will be a Beast Log to record them. The technology level of this game is mostly magic and medieval but some kingdoms have access to steam technology as well as magic-operated/magic-producing machinery called [b]Arcana[/b] or [b]Arcs[/b] if it is a weapon. [i]Arcs[/i] are rare weapons that are beyond expensive and are greatly desired by any kingdom, military, crime element, and individual due to their immense power. This was the basic synopsis of the game. If you are interested, then please continue to read and instead of just announcing "interested" in the Interest Check, [color=ed1c24][b]please reserve a role.[/b][/color] This will let me know that you have read this line and are capable of reading comprehension as well as following directions. [center][color=black][h3]...........................................................................................................................[/h3][/color][/center] [center][img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjY2LmE0OTk5OC5RM0psWVhScGIyNCwuMgAA/blacksword.regular.png[/img][/center] There are two gods in this world. [b]The White God[/b] and [color=black][b]The Black God[/b][/color], although, not much is known of the Black God. The most active god has always been the White God. However, the story goes that between the gods Man was created as a balance. Man was neither good or evil and leaned, whichever way Man desired. Some chose the path of the White God and gave up their freewill in service to It. They were called [b]Holy Knights[/b]. These powerful knights were angelic in appearance and with their power granted by the White God, they dedicated their lives to bringing justice to the masses. No kingdom could ignore a Holy Knight's audience. They are the wandering judges in the land, but that didn't make them [i]good.[/i] Self-righteousness could be an evil thing, and many kingdoms and villages were wiped out if ever a Holy Knight deemed them to be wicked. The White God is praised to be an inspiration of hope, salvation, and purity - everything that humans desired in a true god, but perhaps the god's light shined so brightly that they were blinded? The Black God faded from history, and is imagined to be a fairy tale. It has become the shadow of the White God. Some even question if a Black God even exists. There were seven warriors who opposed the Holy Knights. Seven who strangely bore the strength to ward off the power of the White God. This disturbed the god, and while the seven warriors gloated over their powers and victories, their complacency left an opening. The White God personally attacked the seven warriors and branded each warrior with a curse/sin. They were banished across [b]Gaea[/b], and their minds shattered so that they could not remember who they are and what they did. The Holy Knights hunt them, seeking to destroy them while they're vulnerable. Time will only tell when they succeed. [center][color=black][h3]...........................................................................................................................[/h3][/color][/center] [center][img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjY2LmE0OTk5OC5WR2hsSUZObGRtVnVJRVJsWVdSc2VTQlRhVzV6LjIAAAAA/blacksword.regular.png[/img][/center] [B]This game takes place ten years after the White God's banishing.[/b] In this game, the seven deadly sins are: Pride, Greed, Gluttony, Lust, Envy, Wrath and Sloth. They are equal in might; however, some may be physically faster or stronger than the others depending if they specialize specifically in those abilities. The Sins are extremely powerful to demigod level and sometimes tipping into god level. The Holy Knights are similarly powerful, but still only challenge a Sin in numbers. There are only few Holy Knights in existence that can take on a Sin one-on-one and those Holy Knights are not to be taken lightly. The Sins before their curse were good friends and were quite a colorful bunch with all of their interesting personalities making them quite the dysfunctional family. Since they were scattered by the White God's phenomenal curse, the White God has taught Man that the Sins are evil. Any being bearing the Brand of the Seven is an evil person to be turned over to authorities immediately. Because of this social stigma, the Sins with their fragmented memories believe themselves to be evil. Their crime? They cannot remember but figure it was something awful. Wherever you place your Sin in this world, in whatever situation, is how they will be found. Dead? Alive? Imprisoned? Working at a bar? Whatever you choose. Each Sin has a wanted poster posted with their face on it for "x" amount of gold (however much you think your Sin is worth). Each sin has one ability. Not three in one. Just one ability. This ability is not to be confused with their already freely given demigod physical abilities. There is no point in listing what's automatically granted to your character when you do your profile. I should only see one ability listed under ability. If you want super speed to be an ability that makes them the fastest Sin, then you can do that but be warned that that is your ability. Likewise, for strength, durability, etc. We will see who follows these directions. As the game states, there are only seven sins. I will not be accepting more than seven people. I, the GM, have chosen a Sin (Gluttony) so there are six openings for Sins. I do not have a limit on Holy Knights just yet. The Sins can be male or female. They do not have to be all male or all female and there doesn't have to be an equal amount of either. You can use this site to get fancy fonts for decorating your profile: http://www.1001fonts.com/ You just treat the link to each font banner like an image. [hider=Seven Sins CS]Name: This is not the name of your Sin. This is your character's name. I would like for all Sins to have a first and a last name to show that you thought this profile through. Age: The Seven Sins are practically immortal but if your Sin "appears" to be a certain age, then go ahead and write what they "appear to be." Sin: Lust, Greed, Pride, Envy, Wrath, and Sloth (You probably notice Gluttony is missing. Yep, taken by the GM) Height: Weight: Hair Color: Eye Color: Gender: Written Appearance: You can go into full detail about your character's appearance from hair color, highlights, eye variations, scars, tattoos, etc. This is not the section where you describe their brand. That's below. Brand Appearance: What does their brand look like. Describe in detail and also mention where it is positioned. Personality: You do not have to be overly detailed with this. Just a summary. I'm sure your character's personality will blossom in game. Background: This is what the Sins can't remember. Do not worry about this section. We will fill this out later once we know who is accepted in the game. Because then we can collaborate on some plot related information. So yes, you can leave this section blank. Current Story: What has happened to them since? Where are they now? Weapon: Only if your Sin uses a weapon. The weapon that they do use will be an Arc. How did they get it? You can make up the story. Maybe it was a special memento? Maybe they looted it off a defeated opponent? Ability: Notice that this isn't plural. One ability.[/hider] [center][color=black][h3]...........................................................................................................................[/h3][/color][/center] [center][img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjY2LmE0OTk5OC5WR2hsSUVkcGNtdywuMgAAAAA,/blacksword.regular.png[/img][/center] Evelyn, or Eve, [GM-character] is secretly the daughter of King Patreus and Queen Melody Caroline. The Holy Knights have taken her kingdom, claiming that they are protecting it from a resistance that has arisen to chase the Holy Knights out. The Holy Knights, however, twisted the goals of the resistance around, telling the royal family that the resistance was raised to oppose their rule and not the Holy Knights. Eve's family was thus contained, placing the Holy Knights in complete power over her kingdom. Her mother helped her escape before she was taken and she has since traveled the world in search of the Seven Sins, who she feels will end the Holy Knights reign and return the world to peace. Eve is unaccustomed to life outside of her palace where servants waited on her hand and foot, and so she has a lot of character development to go through. There is a secret divine power within her, and it's not of the White God, which can be revealed in certain situations in game. The biggest revealing is how she is able to restore the memories of each of the Sins. Her "kills with kindness" personality makes her a princess that the Sins are eventually all willing to fight for and protect. Eve will learn to be the monarch she is destined to be. [hider=Evelyn Caroline][center][img]http://txt-dynamic.cdn.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjk2LmZmZmZmZi5SWFpsYkhsdUlFTmhjbTlzYVc1bC4w/welga.demo.png[/img][/center] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/J5R5dRi.png[/img][/center] [b]Name:[/b] Princess Evelyn "Eve" Caroline [b]Age:[/b] 20 [b]Height:[/b] 5'3" [b]Weight:[/b] 120 lbs. [b]Hair Color:[/b] Brown [b]Eye Color:[/b] Gray [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Written Appearance:[/b] As a princess, Evelyn always wore dresses. Gowns, corsets, and more gowns. She was never allowed to show any skin below her shoulders. Such a life was normal for her and she didn't think much of it. It wasn't until she was chased from her kingdom that she found herself having to wear other garments. She had to dress herself in whatever she could find, giving up her puffy and decorative dress. She travels in the clothes of a pauper. Itchy sack cloth shirt and pants and deer skin shoes. Her milk-white skin is smudged in dirt and her once wavy and shiny brown hair is tied behind her back with an old shoe lace. She still holds onto her family's signet ring, wearing it on a leather thread about her neck so that it's hidden beneath her shirt. There was a reason why the Carolines hid their daughter behind layers of clothes. She is beautiful and had many suitors wishing to take her hand...not anymore. [b]Personality:[/b] It is Eve's first time outside the castle and she is very naive to being swindled by the clever tricksters of the streets. She speaks very formally, which is usually a sign of a noble upbringing. She is respectful and timid of the strangers who were either formally her subjects or from another kingdom entirely. Eve knows how delicate she is, but she is determined to save her parents from the Church of the White. She doesn't know if she will even succeed in finding the Seven Sins. She doesn't even know if she will survive the journey. All Eve knows is that she has to try! [b]Background:[/b] Princess Evelyn Caroline is the daughter of King Patreus and Queen Melody. She is their only child and has been safely guarded from the world until now. Everything began when a Great Holy Knight by the name of [b]Hector Mineaus[/b] came to her kingdom to assist them in dealing with a barbaric clan of giants. The clan's leader was named [b]Barakas[/b] and he was known to feed the humans to his giant hounds. With the king's permission, Hector was allowed to lead his army against the clan. He succeeded in slaying Barakas, and the Carolines honored him with a celebration. It was at the celebration that Hector approached Evelyn and secretly tried to woo her. Evelyn shyly rejected the knight's attempts to his silent anger. The day after the party was when the Church of the White was suddenly upon the capitol. There was talk of a resistance against the Carolines. The story was that because the Carolines had requested aid from the church to handle the giants rather than send their own army that the people were in outrage. The Carolines weren't even given a chance to have an audience with their kingdom before they were moved into a sanctuary that seemed more like a heavily-guarded prison. Before the Holy Knights could detain Evelyn, the king ordered her protector to take her out of the castle. The protector against the Holy Knights orders did as his king commanded and fled the castle with Evelyn. He rode as far as he could with the knights on his tail. When he feared his horse would tire before they would lose them, Eve's protector stayed behind to fight the Holy Knights so that she could escape. Eve, afraid to be alone in this foreign world, reluctantly rode off leaving her protector behind and the last relation she had to her family. [b]Current Story:[/b] Her horse long gone and her dress long ruined, Eve was forced to travel Gaea alone. She is learning to endure the hardship of survival and no longer having servants to rely on. There have been those kind to her, but there were more who were cruel, forcing her to be wary of strangers. Having discovered the wanted posters for the Seven Deadly Sins, she remembered tales of their power and decided to find them. They just might be strong enough to take her kingdom back from the church and free her parents.[/hider] [center][color=black][h3]...........................................................................................................................[/h3][/color][/center] If more than seven people show interest in this game, then selection for this game will be based on your character's concept. It'll be completely subjective and based on what the GM deems is good for the game. This does not mean if your character isn't selected that you are a bad writer, you can't come up with interesting ideas, or anything negative along those lines. I will merely be making a selection based on what I think is good for the story. So if you're confident, you really like this idea, and you want to give it a shot, then you're good to go. [b][i]Note: That this subjectivity will only be used if the role you chose is being contested by another player. If no one challenges the same slot you wanted, then you are good to go.[/i][/b] [center][h3][i]Rules[/i][/h3][/center] 1. [b]No drama.[/b] You think this rule wouldn't need to be up here, but unfortunately, there are some immature/moody folks who like to air out their dirty laundry. If you think I'm going to put up with it, you're wrong. You will be removed from the game in a heartbeat. "I had a bad day," is not an excuse. If you're having a bad day, then you better go find something to do that makes you happy because if you're letting your bad day create a toxic environment in this game, you will be removed without mercy. 2. [b]Communication.[/b] I understand how college is. Been there. Done that. I know it can be busy and exams take up your time. HOWEVER, you are completely capable of spending not even 1 min, coming online and saying, "Hey, I'm going to be busy with exams for the next "x" amount of days." That's all it takes. Very easy. Or even, "Hey, I'm going to be on vacation from [blank] date to [blank] date. Again, too easy. If you disappear without telling me where you went for 7 days, I will have everyone move on without you. If you're gone for 30 days, then you will be removed from the game. 3. [b]Activity Level[/b]. I want this game to be fun and to move as we make it move. So I don't expect the activity level to be anything extreme unless we're all having a good time. I guess what I'm saying is, this will depend on us. No one will be posting over anyone in this game (unless you're mysteriously absent). If someone hasn't responded, then we will wait for them to respond. If there's a 1 on 1 dialog between characters that has nothing to do with other characters, then those can be collaborated using Pirate Pad or PMs. What most certainly won't happen is people posting 10 times per day. That's not going to happen. 4. [b]Have Fun and Story Weave[/b]. If you haven't noticed, this world isn't in depth because I want us all to move this story and create plots together. I, the GM, will be the overall guide for the plot and I will make some exceptions for side stories, but the amount of imagination you put into each post is all you. Try to make a character that you can feel and love. Do not just try to join this game because it seemed cool and you're jumping on the bandwagon with everyone else. Your character, and the love you have for him or her is going to decide how long you stay in this game. No lie. [center][color=black][h3]...........................................................................................................................[/h3][/color][/center] [center][h3][i]Holy Knights[/i][/h3][/center] I am only allowing at maximum 2 GREAT Holy Knights, and you are free to make a Holy Knight that was formally bad and has become good. Holy Knights will more than likely know each other and serve together. They can even be siblings. Whatever you decide. [hider=Holy Knight CS]Name: I want for Holy Knights to have a first and last name. Age: The Holy Knights are not immortal like the Seven Sins. So an actual age must go here. Allegiance: Church of the White (default allegiance) Position: What rank is your Holy Knight? Holy Knight, Great Holy Knight (if they're a Great Holy Knight they're one of the most powerful HKs and they're more than likely the captain in charge of a unit. So expect to NPC his/her unit.). Height: Weight: Hair Color: Eye Color: Gender: Written Appearance: You can go into full detail about your character's appearance from hair color, highlights, eye variations, scars, tattoos, etc. The Holy Knights are very angelic in appearance due to their affiliation with the White God. They appear how the Humans would expect any servant of a the White God to appear. Personality: You do not have to be overly detailed with this. Just a summary. I'm sure your character's personality will blossom in game. Background: Unlike the Sins, the Holy Knights do have a background to complete. Why did your character become a Holy Knight? What do they hope to achieve by being in service to the White God? Why do they believe in the White God? These are just example questions you can answer in your profile. Current Story: What is their mission now? Weapon: All Holy Knights wield Arcs. This is where you describe your Holy Knight's Arc and its power. Ability: The Holy Knights, similar to the Sins, have an ability theme. Choose one ability for your HK.[/hider] [center][color=black][h3]...........................................................................................................................[/h3][/color][/center] [h3]Current Sins[/h3] [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4562563][b]Gluttony[/b][/url] {GM} [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4568710][b]Wrath[/b][/url] [@Mega Birb] [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4566190][b]Greed[/b][/url] [@Majoras End] [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4563556][b]Envy[/b][/url] [@Yahrlan] Lust (Need) [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4566844][b]Pride[/b][/url] [@Tenma Tendo] [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4563657][b]Sloth[/b][/url] [@AllHollowsEve] [h3]Holy Knights[/h3] [color=red][b]Not taking anymore HKs at this time.[/b][/color] [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4563564][b]Holy Knight[/b][/url] [@NobodiesHero] [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4565563][b]Holy Knight[/b][/url] [@Loki Odinson]
