Important OOC Stuff

Hello! I'm LadyAnnaLee. Welcome to the official interest check for Lesser Evils! We are live and accepting applications! Isn’t that exciting? I’m excited. I’ll be honest there were times when I thought we would make it this far. I’m looking for seven Lessers, one for each of the Seven Deadly Sins. The ones still available are listed below. I don’t really care what species your character is, but they do have some sort of magic. They are morally flexible. The only real rule they have in common is that the Lessers don’t hurt Innocents. It is possible that your characters have some sort of history with the others, but it’s not like they are a formal group. Have fun with the other players coming up with combined histories or don’t! Whatever you like! This world is meant to be flexible enough to take player input. For example, if your character is a vampire and you want to come up with an entire vampiric hierarchy please do so! If you don’t want to that’s okay too! Just run any idea by me, so that way I can alter things that don’t mesh well and work in all the idea that do work! There is a plot to push us in the right direction, but I am hoping that The City works as a sandbox. Also this is for semiliterate to literate players. Typos are fine. Gibberish is not. As a general rule at least 3 paragraphs or 400 words per posts. Thank you!

Rules
1. Follow all Guild Rules! This should be a no brainer, but just in case.
2. Post at least once every two weeks. If you can’t post in that time frame let Pascal and me know, so we can figure out what your character is doing for that post cycle. Also don’t be a post hog. Feel free to post more than once every two weeks, but don’t take over by posting all the time.
3. If you need to drop out that’s fine. Just please let us know. Please don’t ghost. It’s not fair to the other players.
4. Be nice and polite in the OoC. Everyone should realize that these characters aren’t the nicest, but outside of the game slash story we will treat everybody with respect.
5. This is PG16! This is PG16! Yes! I said that twice! This is a more mature role-play, but please take any sex scenes to the PMs. It makes sense for sex to be happening, but I don’t want to read it. That’s just the way it is.
6. Please only use swearing when it is necessary. No one, player or character, needs to be dropping fbombs every other sentence. That being said I understand why it can be useful and don’t want to ban it completely. Just be smart about it and use discretion
7. Real Life comes first. Everyone needs to understand that. Please refer to Rules 2 and 3
8. Have Fun! I know it’s dumb to say, but that is the reason for this story in the first place. If you aren’t having fun or this is stressing you out I understand. Just let Pascal or me know, so we can adapt it or figure out if you need to leave.
9. If you break the rules once Pascal or I will warn you once! Twice is a banning. That being said I want the two of us to be open GMs. If you have concerns, please come to us. We will listen I promise.

Character Creation Information


The Seven Lesser Evils
Pride – Character Name – Username
Lust – Character Name – Username
Wrath – Character Name – Username
Sloth – Character Name – Username
Envy – Character Name – Username
Greed – Character Name – Username
Gluttony – Character Name – @Pascal
Character Sheet!
[color=xxxxxx][i][center][Insert quote or line here[/center][/i][/color]
[hider=Character’s name]
[color=xxxxxx][b]Name:[/b][/color] Simple. Feel free to include any nicknames. Just don’t forget their Sin

[color=xxxxxx][b]Age:[/b][/color] This does not need to be a number, but it can be. We just need to know where their place in history is.

[color=xxxxxx][b]Race:[/b][/color] Fae, Vampire, Demon, the possibilities are endless!

[color=xxxxxx][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] Pascal and I decided that we don’t need pictures. You can include one if you like, but we aren’t encouraging them. A written description, whether paragraph style or list style, will do just fine.

[color=xxxxxx][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Are they crazy? Psychotic? Suspiciously kind? This is also one of the places to explain why they are the Sin they are. Just keep in mind that we don’t need seven edge lords.

[color=xxxxxx][b]Background:[/b][/color] Trauma! Good! Loved! Also good! Whatever their story is we want to see it here. This is another place to include why they are the Sin they are. Just be sure to include how The Detective got in contact with them and convinced them to come to The City. This could be a phone call and agreement to pay them to they heard the Outcasts were hurting Innocents and were on the next available flight. Whatever it is put it here. If it doesn’t make too much sense with The Detective or the setting, I’ll reach out and we’ll work something out!

[color=xxxxxx][b]Skills and Abilities:[/b][/color] What can they do? Let’s be honest this is the fun part! Please include magical abilities and mundane skill. Maybe this is another reason they are their Sin. Make them super powered or one step above normal humans. Just fill out this section and the next section with the intent to make them balanced. Thank you!

[color=xxxxxx][b]Weakness:[/b][/color] The above section’s sibling! Feel free to be vague, but please don’t say something like they have no weakness. Is it spiders? Iron? It’s something and their weakness should make sense with their power and power level. Thank you!

[color=xxxxxx][b]Equipment:[/b][/color] Do they have a special keychain? A portable supercomputer? A staff of unimaginable power? Let everybody know!

[color=xxxxxx][b]Quips:[/b][/color] I call it quips but it could be trivia too. Or both? This is just a little miscellaneous section. Have fun!
[/hider]

Please note this may not be perfect. My coding skills are minimal. Feel free to jazz it up. Just make sure to hit the important information.

Hiya! I am interested in playing the Pride character. Basic concept is she a lioness/human/goddess-type creature similar to Egyptian mythology. She is a very proud mother/grandmother/great-great-great-great-great... So she's not full of herself or power-hungry like typical expectations of Pride, but she's fiercely devoted to what she thinks is best for her lineage. Sometimes that comes with Karen-like behavior, sometimes vicious violence, while sometimes it actually causes her to engage in good-hero-like behavior, as preserving the world is necessary for her to preserve her family.

I plan to work on a character sheet today and/or tomorrow, but if it takes longer than that, I understand if you give up my spot to somebody else.

Do you wanna see a photo of my wonderful granddaughter’s art project? …You don’t?... I will give you three seconds to change your mind and keep your face.




Edit: I skimmed through the interest check but my brain didn't register Dusk stating interest in Pride. Uhh, I can back off if you all want Pride for the person some of you seem to know already.

Hello Everybody!

To be honest it hadn't occurred to me that more than five people would be interested in this role-play. I know I know. That was a little short sighted. It does mean that I don't know what to do if we get more than the required number of sheets. Right now I'm leaning towards merit rather than first come. Which means eventually, with in a day or two, I'll give a due date for sheets. Then @Pascal and I will take a few days to figure put out which sheets we like for the story. So, for now post the sheet for the character slash sin you want. Then we'll see what happens.

Does that sound good to every body?

I did have interest in Pride but it was basically just a bit of personality and a power set. I've moved my sight to Envy since as far as I know no one has expressed interest in that sin

What’s yours is yours, and what’s mine is mine. Although yours is quite nice…maybe I’ll just borrow it



I hope this is good, I've been sorta working on it all day. @FollowthePath if you want some kind of connection with Cain let me know, I'm sure we could work out something

Just FYI. @Pascal and I have decided that next Monday, the 13th of June, is the due date for character sheets. That way I can get the first post up the next weekend. Does that sound good to everyone?

Okay. This is exciting! We have sheets for 5 of the Seven Sins! Plus we are interacting and quipping about the characters! This is going really well. I'm super excited!

Speaking of 5 of seven I think now is a good time to mention that since I did have someone reach out to me about Greed so I am working on a character sheet for Lust.

Does anyone have any questions at this point?

Consent is paramount. Without consent it shouldn’t happen.

Hello! I thought about putting this in the same post as Aurum, but decided that since it's not really connected to him to do another post. Hence the double post.

One of the things @Pascal and I are trying to do is create a little group that is a safe place for all the members of that group to work on their writing. We want this to be a safe place to give and receive constructive criticism, improve writing, and learn to really create awesome stories. To that end one of the things that we have done is reached out to discuss characters with their writers in order to clarify things and really take the sheets to the next level. That only really works if people are willing to work with us to answer the questions we have. All of the characters so far are really cool and have a lot of potential. We just want to make sure that everything is as on point as we can make it. To that end this street goes both ways. If you have concerns or need clarification on Juniper or Aurum please ask. We won't know if you don't ask.

On another note. The due date for characters is coming up, and we want to make sure that backstories are as fleshed out as possible. What that means in this case is that if you and others want to connect your Lessers with just one event or years of partnership the OoC is a safe place to do so. If you rather take it to the PMs I understand, but I'm not going to judge your work in progress. Actually I wouldn't mind seeing the work in progress for this. But that is all on you. It looks like we have some of it happening, so that is exciting.

I'm super excited and beyond thrilled that everyone else seems thrilled as well! This is going to be amazing!
