Fantasy Working Title: Respite Lore/Backstory

[hiding_in_yourcloset]

The setting will be modern day -- Jan. 1st 2019

We'll start the role play with 3 of the 7 seals broken and chaos in the streets. Our 'game play' will determine if the next seal is broken or not. And on, until the seven are broken -IF that's where we head-

The 7 sins are 'running amok' so we have regular folk (humans) acting funny due to their influence. Committing murder, adultery, looting, etc. Certain parts of the world will be worse then others -- depending on the proximity of the 'sin'.

The seven deadly sins have powers that relate to their particular sin. Their sole goal is to break the 7 seals and release the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

(Appearance/personality/Backstory can be decided by the person playing the sin-- if no one is playing a particular sin, I will decide.)

• Envy has the ability to shape-shift into anything or anyone, whether it be real people, animals, or human aspects that they made up. Envy is very fast in all the forms they assume and retains their strength no matter the size they take up.
• Greed has rapid regeneration. Any injuries they suffer immediately heal, even if they are decapitated, disintegrated, blown up or completely incinerated, they will still return to life in perfect condition. They are immune to all poisons, toxins, venom, viruses, bacteria, allergen, diseases, etc.
• Sloth has astonishing physical strength. They are more than capable of crushing and tearing through solid rock and steel with their bare hands, and can easily crush a human body with accidental ease. Sloth's skin is also extremely tough, being capable of resisting bullets and merely being staggered by a rocket launcher - however it has weak points: (Which the person playing Sloth -if anyone- can decide. If no one will play, I will decide. But won't tell since it would be unfair to the game.) Sloth moves VERY slow.
• Lust has the ability to appear as an individual's idea of beauty. This works as camouflage as she may be a tall blonde to one person and a short, red head to the next-- and so on. They also possess a magnetic quality that allows them to easily make loyal allies/friends with anyone. While they cannot directly override others' will and values, their persuasive abilities are so powerful they can convince others of anything remotely believable. They also have the ability to see perfectly even in low light conditions or even total darkness.
• Gluttony can eat anything. Steel, rock, a magical orb of energy ---literally anything. Gluttony's senses of taste allow them to instantly analyze the compositions of what they eat and even detect substances. Their sense of smell is so strong that they can detect specific persons, objects, substances and track targets with nothing but their nose.
• Wrath has an ability unlike any other: They draw power from their opponent. The angrier their opponents get or the harder they fight, the stronger Wrath becomes.
• Pride has the full counter ability. Full Counter enables Pride to reflect attacks aimed at them back at the enemy, but with more than double the power; therefore, the stronger the opponent's powers are, the stronger Pride's power becomes. However, Pride cannot initiate any attack.

• Demons, depending on rank, vary in appearance and strength. Some are humanoids with horns and pointy tails that like to make people suffer but others are grotesque creatures so hideous that your eyes will pop out of your head if you look at them too long-- who want to eat you and have your soul for dessert. Most of Hell's army is bound to hell until the seals are broken but there are few, the more humanoid ones, that are allowed to roam the earth (as part of the deal with Heaven)

• Same goes for Angels, respectively. Depending on rank, they vary in appearance and strength. Some are humanoids with wings but others are shrouded in divine light so bright that your eyes will burn our of your skull if you look at them too long-- most angels don't care for humanity-- they consider them tainted. Most of Heaven's army is bound to heaven until the seals are broken but there are few, the more humanoid ones, that are allowed to roam the earth.

• Humans can have magic! Some are as strong as Angels and Demons. Not many humans will have abilities. But, as history has shown, we humans can be pretty deadly without magic.
