I'll be going on a two week vacation starting tomorrow and don't know how often I'll have Internet access. Thank you for your patience. I'll try to be more regular when I get back.

No worries, I've been kind of busy myself, and have been lagging with RP replies.

I think those are good emotions to associate with wrath. What sorts of elements were you thinking of ascribing to each?
Seeing Ryul, Gil approached, "These are my two triplet brothers, Balio, and Sunder," he said, pointing to a stern-looking dwarf with his hair dyed blonde, and a calm-looking dwarf with his hair dyed black. "While I follow in our father's footsteps as a carpenter and lumberjack, they're miners."

"A pleasure to meet you," Sunder, the one with black hair, said. Balio nodded.

Meanwhile, the triplets' father, Harin approached Illithor, a glow in his eyes, "Since you're a fisherman, I was thinking of building your house near the river. How big do you want the house? How big a family are you planning on raising?" he asked, giving Illithor a nudge and a wink, looking over at Talila. "Are you up for anything unique? Like maybe a house that crosses over the river like a bridge or something like that?"

Benna, Harin's wife, and Jeel, Grom's wife, went to chat with Talila and welcome her to the town. "Do you need anything, like clothes and sheets?" Jeel asked, being the town tailor. While they probably didn't have need for sheets considering they were staying at the inn, clothes were a lot more difficult to just borrow from others.

Zaria and Lannis, Grom's daughters, were chatting with Teann, while the smaller children were running around, goofing off, while Emtardas kept an eye on them. Bormash was taking care of the spit. Malkas and Anya enjoyed their dinner, letting the other townsfolk meet the new arrivals, since they had had Illithor and Talila to themselves all day and will see them everyday for a while and will have plenty of time to get to know them in the future.
I'm thinking of doing a time skip here unless your characters want to do something.
Yeah, i don't have the brainpower to come up with a full skill list, I mention build in the CS intending something along the lines of a short descriptor of your character's playstyle, maybe preferred (most leveled) element if a spell caster, or a specific weapon combination, basically a focus/specialty.

I wouldn't want you to feel forced to change your character and I think a Bulwark, Strategist and Artificer can still work, they'd focus mostly on locking down their opponents (with the dual-CC roles), and being really hard to take down (with the dual-support roles). I think an Artificer can provide the necessary offensive, especially against medium-to-large groups. Or I could change my characters' classes since i'm still not dead set on them yet.
Still here
At around sunset, tables were laid out in the village's main square with a table reserved for pots and dishes of food prepared by the various families, while a spit was set up, roasting a cow from Grom's farm in traditional orcish fashion. While for the most part the families together, there were enough people who didn't sit with their families to allow mingling. For the msot part, Illithor, Talila, and Ryul were the guests of honor, and while some people came to introduce themselves, others didn't want to be pushy and wanted to let them approach when they felt comfortable.
"Oh, right, I think you already told me," Israfil remembered from a previous conversation. "It seems ludicrous to think that Orpheus could perform a jump successfully by itself. Well, I'm getting pretty tired." Israfil stopped cycling. "I'm gonna go shower and get some rest."
I think the 'progression of sin' makes sense.

if we limit it to just wrath, what are your thoughts on how we differentiate the characters? I suppose rather than the elemental differences being tied to the sins, they would be tied to the individual Rias themselves? The Rias themselves would have a wide array of differences with respect to the powers they impart on their hosts. If we go with that, would we want to theme the Rias in a certain way as an added layer in addition to them being fueled by wrath?
Right now, I'm trying to think of a balance of roles, basically, how many of each role we can get in a three-man team? Which role do we need less of, which role do we need more of, for RPG balance?

For example, if we have a Bulwark, an Artificer (you) and a Strategist, we would have Tank-Support, DPS-CC, Support-CC, giving us 1 Tank, 1 DPS, 2 Support, and 2 CC. Is that too much support and CC, not enough tank and DPS? On the other hand, there is no reason the team has to be optimized either, making them more of a 'motley crew', since how many RPG players make their builds based on their teammates? Most people tend towards solo builds anyways, or are at least flexible enough to manage when their teammates are not available. So yeah, right now, I might make a Bulwark and a Strategist character, but if you think there is a role imbalance, I can always change it up.

As for a CS, here's a template:

let me know if I left out any other details about the character you think are important to include in a CS.
Felix could feel Gideon working on his back, and while the heat and the reshaping was slightly uncomfortable, Felix trusted that Gideon knew what he was doing, and Gideon's delicacy and mastery of the craft prevented it the discomfort from becoming unbearable.

Felix appreciated Gideon's response, not only the response itself, but the way in which he delivered it. By framing it as a question of profit, Gideon argued for good business practice, keeping his moral stance on the matter hidden. It was admirable, one never knows when one's convictions might be taken as offensive. As for himself, Felix took a more populist stance on the proliferation of technomancy. His father was of the nouveau riche, and met with a lot of difficulty for it, especially for the fact that he married Felix's mother, who was among the nobility. Unlike Gideon, Felix was fairly open about where he stood, which may be considered naive as, some radical royalists might consider such a stance as treason. "I'm glad you think that way," Felix replied, "It would be bad business sense to turn the company upside down in a vain attempt to attract customers we've never had. Thank yo Mr. Lockheed, I am more reassured now with the company's direction."
