Name: Emmeline Clarke
Title: Lust
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Personality: Armed with sweet, playful smiles and long lashes that bat just the right way, it's hard to see Emmy as anything but a sweetheart. She knows just what to say to brighten up your day, and has an infectious laugh that's sure to put a smile on your face. And what's more, she's just the right blend of innocent and impish, in the seductive-but-still-somehow-coy manner that seems to attract others a fair bit. People have been known to instinctively gravitate toward her, whether it's from an unexplainable desire to protect her and keep her unusually romantic notions of the world intact, or from a more primal desire.
But just as a rose has its thorns, a closer look at Emmy reveals that she's not as harmless and innocent as she appears to be. No, far from it. In reality, Emmy is chiefly ruled by her uncontrollable urges. She prioritizes herself above all else and does what she wants, when she wants, consequences be damned. Others tend to initially misconstrue her self-centered impulses as some endearing quirk, but the longer they know her, the more they realize that it's not the case. Emmy also suffers from a severe case of monophobia. As a result, she has become dangerously dependent, actually unable to survive on her own. She cannot stand being alone, even for a brief moment. She'll go through a full-blown panic attack if she's ever alone. In fact, the main reason behind her saccharine façade is simply to ensure there will always be someone beside her to take care of her and keep her company
Abilities: Having relied on others for anything and everything, Emmy hasn't many abilities to brag about. She didn't possess any valuable life skills and she absolutely won't last a day on her own. To remedy this, her previous gang trained her in the art of Aikido, which she surprisingly picked up fast. So while Emmy likes to make herself scarce during battles, preferring instead to beguile someone into fighting for her, she isn't left completely vulnerable. She also has her charms, if that counts for anything. Emmy has a way of drawing people's attention that's nearly foolproof.
Power: In a way befitting her moniker, Emmy's abilities solely revolve around tactile sensations. It's a strange derivation of psychometry, infused with some matter of telepathy. When in direct contact with other beings, Emmy is able to read their thoughts and emotions. The connection only lasts as long as she is touching them, and she can only read what they are presently thinking and feeling. During prolonged contact and depending on how susceptible to suggestion the person is, Emmy might also be able to cast her influence on the person, in a manner similar to hypnosis. This works best if the person has willingly submitted to Emmy.
Her power works on nonliving entities as well, although with slightly different results. When touching objects, she is able to perceive any of its residual information. In most cases, it serves only for investigative purposes, such as learning who has used the object last and for what reason. But if she were to touch objects with deeper psychic imprints, which are often items that people have strong attachments for, she would be able to channel memories of its use. For instance, if she were to touch someone's favorite guitar, she would be able to channel its memories and be able to play as well as the guitar's owner.
Of course, her abilities are not without its downsides. First and foremost, it's not something she can 'turn off.' Everything she touches gives her a barrage of information and it takes time for her to sort through them. It's also difficult for her to control what to retain, so any information she has one day may be completely gone the next. Because of the nature of her abilities, her dependence for contact is increased tenfold, to the point that it's almost crippling. Touching becomes something of sustenance to Emmy, and if she is deprived of skin-to-skin contact long enough, she would actually physically weaken.
How you joined the sinners: Emmy left her previous gang around the same time Sloth began forming her own. She thought it was destiny. Afraid and unwilling to be by herself, Emmy actively sought out Sloth, and worked hard to win her over. Every day, she would follow her around and keep her company, doing whatever she can to help her (although, often she just gave her more trouble). Emmy will never really know whether Sloth relented because she saw some use for her, or because she just wanted her to stop with her incessant pestering, but she eventually has become a full-fledged member of the Sinners, and she couldn't be happier.
Personal Arc: Emmy was given up for adoption when she was nine, after her deluded mother was certain she was trying to steal her stepfather's attentions. Ever since, she has been hopping from one family to another, unable to stay with one without causing some sort of problem. It was a pattern: for the first few months, her new family would be utterly in love with her, but then slivers of her real self would show, until finally, she would cause strife between members of the family. It wasn't until eight years and eleven families later, when she turned seventeen (practically old enough to be considered a legal adult) that she was finally kicked out of the foster system.
Alone for the first time, a panic-stricken and desperate Emmy turned to the first person willing to take her in. It just so happened that this person was the leader of a gang, and he kindly took her under his wing. She became something of a prized possession to him, and he blatantly favored her over the rest of his members. Just as she thought she'd found a permanent home, she became a source of discord once again, when the members start getting jealous of the attentions given to the newbie. Emmy would end up leaving the gang after a year.
(I was thinking it could be one of the gangs the Sinners will eventually fight? I imagined they would be this sort of Chess-themed gang for some reason.)

I think the character is alright overall, but she could use some more practical skills, like some combat skill, cause she needs a reason to be at the gang fight you know.
As for the relationship.
Sloth to Lust: Irritation. This single word describes Sloth's opinion of Lust instantly. When they first met, Lust was alone and scared, and Sloth took her in to help her, but only temporarily, at least that was her intent. When she proved to be impossible to get rid of, she decided to eventually make Lust an official member. She proved to at least be good at menial tasks, but for the most part, she merely made it tougher for Sloth to work, so she generally leaves the other sins to look after her. However, when she does need help in social events, Lust does prove useful. Overall, Sloth might seem to dislike Lust at first, but it's not as much dislike as just wanting to better Lust.
So with this, all 6 others are turned in. Has pride been posting though?

Alright, so if Pride doesn't post within a day or two, I'm going to open up applications for his role. So for anyone who wants to maybe run a second character, you have the floor to work on a pride sheet :)
Angel might have some fun~ We have a power which drains memories and one which can not only do that but also emotions and thoughts as well as nonliving entities? Hope I got that right.

Well lust doesn't drain them, but instead shapes and changes their emotions to make them do her will.
Ahh, I'm pretty excited for this. I hope Pride comes back since I like his character.

Alright, I'm too excited to get this going so instead of waiting for Pride, I'm gonna say anyone interested in taking his spot can apply for it now, even if you already turned in another character. I want to at least start working out ideas for other Prides in case the original doesn't come back, so instead of waiting for new CS's we already have them at the ready.

I feel a little bad, I just dropped my other RP, the superhero rp you guys might've seen. I just can't put my heart into it. At first I wanted to do a super power based rp, so I just hopped into super hero rp, but after I developed this I realized how I wanted to do a super power RP from a different perspective so now here we are lol.
At least now I can devote 100% to this RP instead.

I love a GM who is 100% committed. You can count on us >;P
No offense Max but I would definitely want to try creating a Pride character. I think yours is already pretty cool, but I am bored.

Ooh, Emmy is interesting. You can count of Angel to be starstricken for both girls here. |D Kind of lol he'd be the oldest one here if Pride is replaced with someone younger. I've dropped Angel's age down to 20 (instead of 21) so he can be closer to everyone else (plus a couple more edits... I'll build on his Personal Arc later, though I have ideas for what I want to keep it relevant to). Hope that's all right!
Sorry to hear you dropped the superhero RP though, Phantom. D: But at least you have this to turn to in its place!
I'm really excited for this to get going as well. Honestly I'm relieved Angel wasn't rejected off the bat hahaha! Just hoping everyone's excitement (including my own) doesn't lead to speed posting in the IC right away... I can't keep up with those ^^;;. But I really like everyone here and can't wait to start writing with you all! :D
Side note, would you guys like to have some banners for the ICs? :) They make posts easier to read and look at, and are really spiffy. I've made a few quickies to see what you think of the idea!
Wrathypoo
These are premature/experimental, so I'll probably redo them and make them nicer if you guys like this idea. Feel free to send me any pics you'd like me to crop into a banner; would be especially useful if they're big! We could also put fancy text (e.g. their names) on it too, whatever looks cool haha.

If Pride is open, I might apply for that: assuming you don't mind.

Haha awesome! =P
I was also doing a CS for Pride. @.@ Decided to put it up anyhow. It is done with input from Rex.
Cant decide if male or female is better...
Both are equally obnoxious individuals in their own right. =D
@AshWisp: I am sooo sorry I missed your post earlier. Yes I can see Ash and Joni relating to each other. They both had miserable childhoods and they are around the same age give or take. Does Ash still attend school or perhaps did...? It would be interesting if they knew each other through school or something.
Or even online gaming etc...?
What if Ash was the one who introduced Joni to Sloth? =P
But this is the most IMPORTANT question: which part of Ash's face is covered exactly? o.O I can't imagine it... sorry.
Name: Dominic Harris
Age: 21 (give or take a few months)
Title: Pride
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Sauvé, confident to the point of being cocky and very eloquent are some of the words that comes to mind when you first meet Dominic. Many of his female classmates often jokingly gave him the pet name Draco Malfoy when they were younger. To them he is much more handsome and closer to their ideal of what that fiction character should look like. The only difference is that his eyes are warm brown (with orange undertones) rather than grey.
Personality
Like the character from Harry Potter Dominic is arrogant. Even though he does not say it you will know that he is snubbing you. He literally ignores those he finds annoying or beneath him (watch out Envy). These traits are reflected in his self-assured smile that either attracts people or puts them off completely. People have blamed his parents for spoiling him, but they are so wrong. He was like always like that even as a baby. Understanding his proud family heritage only helps strengthen his belief in his own superiority. Do not try to out argue him. Only Angel can get him to shut up. Ever. Well once or twice perhaps...
He always wants the last word.
Background
The Harris are one of the oldest families in New York. They are rich and well connected. They may not own billion dollar firms or oil companies, but they run one of the most well established law firms internationally. Their specialty is in criminal law. The police have been studying them for a long time and have yet to be able to link them to many of their supposedly more shady dealings. There is a lot of pressure on the youngest Harris. Dominic has been told since he was five that he is expected to become a lawyer like his older brothers and join the family business.
Dominic and Angel have known each other since childhood because their fathers were friends. Luther Harris, Pride’s father, is the family lawyer for the Cervántes. Naturally there is some rivalry between the two and yet they seem to share some level of sympathy for each (perhaps deep down in Pride’s case).
Abilities: (this is best answered by a quote from Pride)
"You have underestimated me. I can do whatever I want if I put my mind to it. Inferior intellects like yours will never grasp that concept."
(It is a non question because he doesn't believe he has any weaknesses at all)
He isn't really being arrogant. He would apply himself in a logically fashion to master whatever he can't do at the beginning. He does not believe in talents, strengths or weaknesses. As a student he always sneers at the teachers who dare challenge his ideas regarding such matters.
Here are some of the things he is actually bad at: sharing, considering another point of view when the person irritates the hell out of him, praising someone and last but not least loving anyone as they are. He will always come first in his mind.
Powers: Templar’s Wrath (a specialized form of air compression and gravity field manipulation)
Shield Bearer
Dominic is able to compress the air around him to super high densities enabling him to block or deflect attacks. For added protection he is able to tamper with the gravity fields to actually slow incoming projectiles so that they will bounce away harmlessly once they come in contact in with the invisible shield. The stronger the shield the more irritable he becomes because it actually drains his energy and makes him hungry. It is advisable to have a cup of hot tea (Earl Grey or green tea) and some well baked pastries available if you are making him assert himself against his will. He absolutely hates being hungry. The only two people he might protect unconditionally are Sloth and at times Angel.
Aero Pressure
Pride can eliminate all opposition by trapping them in an area of highly dense air. The pressure either crushes them outright or slowly suffocates them. Most of the time he prefers to crush them outright because nothing bores him more than toying with weak opponents. A modified version of this skill allows him to cause air bubbles to be created in the enemies’ bloodstream. It will kill them once the bubbles enter their heart. Swift, silent and deadly. He really detests the splash Wrath makes most of the time. It is unnecessary effort.
Point Zero
Pride is able pull enemies towards him at lightning speed by modifying the gravity fields around them. Once drawn into his aero vortex they are in his complete control. Usually they land up either shredded by his wind blades or simple ripped apart when they smash against the nearest wall. This is perhaps his final attack when he wishes for you to buzz off.
How You Joined the Sinners
The aspiring law student is always up for a challenge, so when their mutual friends pointed out that Angel has been seen hanging around Sloth, Dominic decided that he will win her over just to one up his longtime “best” friend. It annoyed him that she is not interested in him at all. Not even the slightest. So it became his goal to win her over so that he can break her heart. No one has ever dared to reject his advances before especially an ambitious girl with no social standing. Until then he shall proclaim she is his queen and that he is her knight. Only he shall serve her. Envy can piss off...
Personal Arc
Bored that Sloth is still rejecting his advances Pride decided to seduce Lust instead. Not that he likes Lust. He actually finds her super annoying. Deep down he hoped his actions would annoy Sloth. I smell disaster. Poor Cupid.
-------------------------- Female Pride ------------------------------
Name: Katherine "Kitty" Romanov
Age: 19
Title: Pride
Gender: Female
Appearance
Red hair, green eyes and really flawless skin. Kitty is stunningly beautiful and boy does she flaunt it. She is actually reaches up to around Angel's shoulders when she stands next to him, but her love for super high heels (11 inches or more) makes her appear as if she is towering over him. Something she loves rubbing in his face.
Personality
This spunky, bratty playboy bunny is addicted to the fast life. She loves fast cars, alcohol and partying. Literally what you expect in a model. Underneath the social exterior is a very cunning mind. No one ever thought of getting her IQ tested which is a good thing because being certified as a genius will only inflate her ego even more. She is already overbearing enough as it is. Kitty thinks she has every right to boss people around especially men because her mommy told her she is a princess and everyone should serve her!
Background
Katherine's mother is a vain, narcisstic woman who believed that her golden child is the most beautiful girl in the world. As soon as she was old enough, Kitty was pushed to join countless beauty pagents. Winning most of them just only reaffirms her already inflated ego. Not surprisingly once she reached high school Pride decided to try her hand at modelling. It was fun at first but she didn't like the fact that she earns pittance compared to the famous superstars she was supposed to idolize and emulate.
It didn't take her long to realize that many of her colleagues were addicted to something known as "angel dust". She began to actively roaming the streets to find this mysterious Angel. Once she found out where he lived, she invited him to one of her infamous drinking parties. Determined not to be turned down as a prospective partner, she ensured most of her famous friends were present. Most people are only interested in people with connections and she had loads of them thanks to her modelling gigs. She won't take no for an answer.
Two years and many late night adventures under the sheets the two still won't admit that they are in a "relationship". Nothing is more characteristic of their relationship than the fact they love pissing each other off. That was how Kitty landed up becoming a playboy bunny. Angel submitted her risque picture as a joke. An April Fool's joke.
Abilities:
"Kitty does as Kitty pleases."
Kitty is in denial that she is unable to do something. She will always try to rationalize and blame circumstances for her inadequacies.
That said she isn't good at cooking, being empathetic, acting her age or even asking for permission. She will take whatever she wants and do whatever suits her mood at the moment. She acts super bimbotic and spoiled most of the time.
Powers: The World is Mine aka Midas' Touch (involves object creation, size augmentation and puppet manipulation)
Ability 1: Midas' Touch
The ability to change animals and humans into trinkets which she will hook onto her pandora charm bracelet (that is actually made from the same substance that creates Sloth's second body). There is no real limit because the world is hers to collect. Collecting humans is harder because Kitty has to render them unconscious before even attempting to change them. It is a very tiring process hence she is not able to use this ability repeatedly over a short period of time.
Ability 2: The Ring Master
Able to change the trinkets back into living (life sized) puppets which follows her command. These puppets can then be changed back and stored if they are not destroyed at the end of the battle. The puppets can be provoked which makes them highly dangerous. Unlike actual puppet manipulation (aka Sasori from Naruto) these puppets she controls are actual living, breathing things. They can actually die if dealt a fatal blow.
Ability 3: Alchemic Synergy
Being able to fuse one or more trinkets together to form a new hybrid creature according to her desires makes Kitty highly unpredictable. The drawback of this ability is that sometimes the fusions might fail and the original trinkets used will be destroyed. Most of the hybrids are also rather unstable and harder to control. They tend to be highly feral. They might turn on her if she isn't careful. Sadly careful is not in her dictionary.
Rational Behind the Abilities:
Kitty loves controlling people. They are nothing but toys to her. So nothing delights her more than being able to turn them into trinkets to decorate her bracelet before changing them into puppets that will do her bidding.
How You Joined Sinners
Katherine might not admit that she and Angel are an item, but she will join him if he persuades her enough. Being present isn't that important to her because everyone there is boring to some degree. She is often seen sitting there either filing her nails, playing on her iphone or seducing her man. This is the price you have to pay if you have an on-off lover who thinks he is gangster material. (*yawn*)
Personal Arc
Kitty's sister is getting married in New York. Nothing Kat says can deter her older sister otherwise. Things only got more awkward when Vera asked to meet Kitty's friend (hint hint: boyfriend). Nothing pisses her off more than knowing that her sister's friends have been spying on her. Worse still she knows that her family might not approve of Angel at the moment. Maybe she should ask Gluttony to pretend to be her boyfriend instead?

The stronger the shield the more irritable he becomes because it actually drains his energy and makes him hungry. It is advisable to have a cup of hot tea (Earl Grey or green tea) and some well baked pastries available if you are making him assert himself against his will. He absolutely hates being hungry. The only two people he might protect unconditionally are Sloth and at times Angel.
Aero Pressure
Pride can eliminate all opposition by trapping them in an area of highly dense air. The pressure either crushes them outright or slowly suffocates them. Most of the time he prefers to crush them outright because nothing bores him more than toying with weak opponents. A modified version of this skill allows him to cause air bubbles to be created in the enemies’ bloodstream. It will kill them once the bubbles enter their heart. Swift, silent and deadly. He really detests the splash Wrath makes most of the time. It is unnecessary effort.
Point Zero
Pride is able pull enemies towards him at lightning speed by modifying the gravity fields around them. Once drawn into his aero vortex they are in his complete control. Usually they land up either shredded by his wind blades or simple ripped apart when they smash against the nearest wall. This is perhaps his final attack when he wishes for you to buzz off.
How You Joined the Sinners
The aspiring law student is always up for a challenge, so when their mutual friends pointed out that Angel has been seen hanging around Sloth, Dominic decided that he will win her over just to one up his longtime “best” friend. It annoyed him that she is not interested in him at all. Not even the slightest. So it became his goal to win her over so that he can break her heart. No one has ever dared to reject his advances before especially an ambitious girl with no social standing. Until then he shall proclaim she is his queen and that he is her knight. Only he shall serve her. Envy can piss off...
Personal Arc
Bored that Sloth is still rejecting his advances Pride decided to seduce Lust instead. Not that he likes Lust. He actually finds her super annoying. Deep down he hoped his actions would annoy Sloth. I smell disaster. Poor Cupid.
-------------------------- Female Pride ------------------------------
Name: Katherine "Kitty" Romanov
Age: 19
Title: Pride
Gender: Female
Appearance
Red hair, green eyes and really flawless skin. Kitty is stunningly beautiful and boy does she flaunt it. She is actually reaches up to around Angel's shoulders when she stands next to him, but her love for super high heels (11 inches or more) makes her appear as if she is towering over him. Something she loves rubbing in his face.
Personality
This spunky, bratty playboy bunny is addicted to the fast life. She loves fast cars, alcohol and partying. Literally what you expect in a model. Underneath the social exterior is a very cunning mind. No one ever thought of getting her IQ tested which is a good thing because being certified as a genius will only inflate her ego even more. She is already overbearing enough as it is. Kitty thinks she has every right to boss people around especially men because her mommy told her she is a princess and everyone should serve her!
Background
Katherine's mother is a vain, narcisstic woman who believed that her golden child is the most beautiful girl in the world. As soon as she was old enough, Kitty was pushed to join countless beauty pagents. Winning most of them just only reaffirms her already inflated ego. Not surprisingly once she reached high school Pride decided to try her hand at modelling. It was fun at first but she didn't like the fact that she earns pittance compared to the famous superstars she was supposed to idolize and emulate.
It didn't take her long to realize that many of her colleagues were addicted to something known as "angel dust". She began to actively roaming the streets to find this mysterious Angel. Once she found out where he lived, she invited him to one of her infamous drinking parties. Determined not to be turned down as a prospective partner, she ensured most of her famous friends were present. Most people are only interested in people with connections and she had loads of them thanks to her modelling gigs. She won't take no for an answer.
Two years and many late night adventures under the sheets the two still won't admit that they are in a "relationship". Nothing is more characteristic of their relationship than the fact they love pissing each other off. That was how Kitty landed up becoming a playboy bunny. Angel submitted her risque picture as a joke. An April Fool's joke.
Abilities:
"Kitty does as Kitty pleases."
Kitty is in denial that she is unable to do something. She will always try to rationalize and blame circumstances for her inadequacies.
That said she isn't good at cooking, being empathetic, acting her age or even asking for permission. She will take whatever she wants and do whatever suits her mood at the moment. She acts super bimbotic and spoiled most of the time.
Powers: The World is Mine aka Midas' Touch (involves object creation, size augmentation and puppet manipulation)
Ability 1: Midas' Touch
The ability to change animals and humans into trinkets which she will hook onto her pandora charm bracelet (that is actually made from the same substance that creates Sloth's second body). There is no real limit because the world is hers to collect. Collecting humans is harder because Kitty has to render them unconscious before even attempting to change them. It is a very tiring process hence she is not able to use this ability repeatedly over a short period of time.
Ability 2: The Ring Master
Able to change the trinkets back into living (life sized) puppets which follows her command. These puppets can then be changed back and stored if they are not destroyed at the end of the battle. The puppets can be provoked which makes them highly dangerous. Unlike actual puppet manipulation (aka Sasori from Naruto) these puppets she controls are actual living, breathing things. They can actually die if dealt a fatal blow.
Ability 3: Alchemic Synergy
Being able to fuse one or more trinkets together to form a new hybrid creature according to her desires makes Kitty highly unpredictable. The drawback of this ability is that sometimes the fusions might fail and the original trinkets used will be destroyed. Most of the hybrids are also rather unstable and harder to control. They tend to be highly feral. They might turn on her if she isn't careful. Sadly careful is not in her dictionary.
Rational Behind the Abilities:
Kitty loves controlling people. They are nothing but toys to her. So nothing delights her more than being able to turn them into trinkets to decorate her bracelet before changing them into puppets that will do her bidding.
How You Joined Sinners
Katherine might not admit that she and Angel are an item, but she will join him if he persuades her enough. Being present isn't that important to her because everyone there is boring to some degree. She is often seen sitting there either filing her nails, playing on her iphone or seducing her man. This is the price you have to pay if you have an on-off lover who thinks he is gangster material. (*yawn*)
Personal Arc
Kitty's sister is getting married in New York. Nothing Kat says can deter her older sister otherwise. Things only got more awkward when Vera asked to meet Kitty's friend (hint hint: boyfriend). Nothing pisses her off more than knowing that her sister's friends have been spying on her. Worse still she knows that her family might not approve of Angel at the moment. Maybe she should ask Gluttony to pretend to be her boyfriend instead?
Well, good to know that the Female Pride is reserving Gluttony as a potential Plan B. That made me chuckle a bit to be honest xD

;) Glad it did!
Well since we have other people (Panda) also interested... Let's see if Kitty will ever be in the rp. I just love character interactions.

Yes he did attend the school although he was unable to attend most of the time as he had to work. Maybe they become acquainted when Joni starts pursuing Sloth and with the constant visits (and the addition of snacks), seeing as how Joni meant no harm maybe Ash invites Joni to visit Sloth in person and from that she invites you or something?
The part of his face covered? It's a mouth and nose thing, a bit like those flu masks people wore but I like the design of the one I put up. He also sometimes wears a sort of gas mask which specifically only covers his mouth and noise (showing parts of his injuries) unlike the 'flu mask' which it's prime function is to cover his cuts and stitches entirely.
Like this mask but smaller.

That works too. xD I can sooo imagine Ash freaking Joni out the first time they meet. Love the idea of a personal visit. Joni will be so awestruck to be honest. In those moments when he lets his guard down he can be quite innocent. Negative thoughts are really cancerous aren't they? They keep coming back and eat away at all other positive emotions.
Thanks so much for the picture! :) It helps a lot.
I hope you aren't offended that Male Pride appears to be somewhat mean to Ash. He is equally rude and callous to everyone but Sloth, Greed and Gluttony.

It all sounds good to me. Me offended by the male Pride? I love the idea that there could be conflict between Envy and Pride; I can imagine Pride finding ways to put down Envy personally and in Sloth's eyes. In addition, the fact that he's older gives him an even bigger air of arrogance which Envy doesn't exactly detest but he'll gladly not have to communicate or even look at him, however often watching him when he communicates with Sloth as he's somewhat realized Pride's intentions. I can imagine also that Ash's ability to steal and Pride's Point Zero would be good in such actions like blackmailing. I mean, having the heart of someone with tasty information is the best way to gather information safely, capish?
