Character Name: Jude Frye<br/>Age: 26<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Race: Human<br/>Occupation: Occult Expert<br/>Hair: Black<br/>Eyes: Black<br/>Height: 5’ 3”<br/>Weight: 105 pounds<br/>Details: It was a terrible tragedy.  Some bunch of fanatics kidnapped one of the rising stars of the occult world and tried to use him in some grisly ritual.  Authorities first on the scene reported a group of people standing around his form, chanting the names of various crimes.  They apparently believed they could place all the world’s evils on him; the reader can doubt guess what they intended next.  His scarred and tattooed body was taken in for treatment at the nearest hospital, courtesy of the state.  The men who almost murdered him refused to acknowledge their guilt—apparently theirs is a system that considers all magic and the users of same to be evil.<br/>So much for the official story.  There’s a lot more to it, obviously.  But the most important point is that the part of the ritual that was completed…  succeeded.<br/><br/>[These are all for Jude.  The Sins…  Between them, they have pretty much every Kink imaginable, and no limits to speak of.  Individual Sins have preferences, though, even Lust.]<br/>Sexual Preference: Heterosexual<br/>Sexual Limits: Depends on how strong a hold Lust has; he was something of a deviant for his hometown, but now he lives in an entirely different world.<br/>Kinks: Multiple partners and bestiality.  But really, in this age of talking dogs and sentient photons, how can you tell the difference between bestiality and normal sex?<br/><br/><br/>Body: 4<br/>Mind: 4<br/>Soul: 4<br/><br/>Heath Points (Body+Soul)(*5): 40<br/>Energy Points (Mind +Soul)(*5): 40<br/>Shock Value (Health Points/5): 8<br/>Combat Value (Body+Mind+Soul)(/3): 4<br/>Attack Combat Value (Body+Mind+Soul)(/3): 1<br/>Defense Combat Value (Body+Mind+Soul)(/3): 4<br/><br/>Unused Advancement Points: 5<br/>Total Advancement Points: 355 (not including Defects)<br/><br/><strong>Attribute/Skill</strong>[Level]    (Point cost)<em>Notes (Consult to me if you want a skill)</em><br/><br/><strong>Cultural Arts: History (Skill)</strong>[2] (2)<em>What, you thought he’d only read books about magic? </em><br/><br/><strong>Teleport</strong>[1] (12)<em>10 meter range, unknown destinations permitted</em><br/><br/><strong>Companion</strong>[7@ level 1] (184)<em>The Seven Deadly Sins are built using the Companion rules with a few unusual adjustments.  Their sheets are not here, partly because it’s more fun that way and partly because I myself don’t know everything that’s on them.</em><br/><strong>Pride</strong><br/><em>Pride is a blond-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian human male with regular features, a flawless body, and a slight frown.  He’s a normal human being, or at least he was.  No superpowers, no secret alien technology, just a mind and body honed with centuries of time.  He’s a flawless tactician, a world-class chef, a private investigator to rival Sherlock Holmes and Mycroft put together…  The list goes on and on.  And he made himself that way.  If he can do it, why can’t you?<br/>Most people would expect Pride to constantly say “I’m the best” or similar.  And it’s true that he considers himself an expert at everything.  But this isn’t arrogance.  Rather, it’s the unflinching belief in perfection.  He doesn’t accept failure.  From anyone, even himself.  For any reason, including divine intervention.  Even if you find yourself in a completely untenable situation, that’s just proof that you should have done something different earlier in your life.</em><br/><strong>Lust</strong><br/><em>Lust has many forms.  In the space of a breath, he/she/it can change to resemble a person’s deepest, darkest desires.  And in Lust’s presence, to gratify those desires people will do anything.  Or anyone.  Even a monster like Lust.<br/>Lust is the physical incarnation of carnal passion.  Not the incarnation of arousal, or romance, or any of the other foolishness people associate with lust, but the incarnation of desire itself, and the primary source of it.  Its form changes like water, appealing to every urge and hunger known to man.  And woman.  He always has admirers nearby, and can generate more if needed.  Lust is far removed from humanity; she’s almost a force of nature.</em><br/><strong>Greed</strong><br/><em>Greed’s overall appearance is actually a pretty close match to Jude’s, or at least what Jude looked like before the ‘incident.’  His hair is black, his features fairly anonymous.  His eyes are green.  His build is that of a nineteen-year-old, but one look into those eyes and you know the truth.<br/>Greed is a grasping being who believes in keeping things to himself.  He collects and saves.  Don’t view him as trying to gather up everything—that’s gluttony.  Greed is actually quite discerning, even picky.  His catchphrase is NOT “hands off”—it’s “touch that and I’ll take your hands off.”  His desire to claim something or someone as his own is a potent physical force that can have dramatic effects on his surroundings—pick his pocket and you might be struck by lightning.  He’s a firm believer in private property, and he considers thieves to be the worst of demons.  But he’s been known to claim squatter’s rights on occasion, especially if the current owner of something he wants isn’t willing to sell.  His net worth is vast, almost immeasurable, but it functions as a much smaller amount of money since he’s unwilling to sell anything and has to pay so much for upkeep.  Still, even the interest on some things is…</em><br/><strong>Envy</strong><br/><em>Envy is a rather mousy-looking young woman with thick glasses, a mild stutter, and a subpar mind.  Often, people don’t even realize she’s there at all.  She just wanders around, trying to emulate the best of everyone in her own special way...  What could be wrong with that?<br/>The specter of Envy has a lot to be envious of—most of the known world, in fact.  It constantly mutters about those that are better than it. – “Two miles northeast there’s a person who plays Shogi better than I do.  On the floor below us there’s a man who knows more ornithology than I do.  There’s someone smarter than I am in this body.  The person next to us is a faster runner than I am.  Right around the corner up ahead are five people who are better at swordfighting than I am…”  Generally Jude will ‘tune in’ on Envy’s mutterings to pick up useful information like the last comment, but no one enjoys listening to her self-centered monologue.  When she’s not muttering about how much better everyone else is, Envy is snatching at the capacities of others, replicating them in her own body.  But such things never last, and no matter who she drains Envy still feels inadequate and wants more.</em><br/><strong>Gluttony</strong><br/><em>A frail, pale figure of a man with sunken eyes.  His head has no hair of any kind—no eyebrows, scalp hair, nothing.  It also has no mouth; below his small nose is an unbroken expanse of skin leading to his chin.  Oddly enough, many people’s first reaction to Gluttony is “He doesn’t eat very well.”<br/>The essence of the Devourer, Gluttony’s incarnation is a kind of void, a barely-sentient being that constantly tries to consume.  The other Sins can keep it in check, but once Gluttony starts munching, only basic self-preservation interferes with its desires.  There’s some concern that it would actually eat the wall of a spaceship in flight; so far it hasn’t gone that far.</em><br/><strong>Acedia</strong><br/><em>Acedia is the personification of the word “languid.”  Her eyes are almost always half-shut, and they seem to shift through shades of blue, black, and green in a relaxing way.   Her hair is reddish-brown.  Among the Sins, she talks the least and listens the most.  In anyone else, that’d make you suspect intelligence…<br/>Acedia, whose name modern writers have misrepresented as “Sloth,” is the incarnation of passivity and tolerance.  Her name comes from the same root as “accede.”  She doesn’t do much; no one’s ever seen what her abilities are.  Some suspect she doesn’t know herself.</em><br/><strong>Wrath</strong><br/><em>Wrath has decidedly red hair.  His eyes are constantly wide and bloodshot; his skin is always laced with lines of tensing muscle, and his hands and arms sport raised razors of bone in even his most relaxed state.  That’s him at his best—almost human.  When he really gets going, though, he’s like something out of a nightmare.<br/>Anger is not a Deadly Sin, not even a normal sin.  Wrath, though, is one of the first sins to ever exist.  While it may be impossible to satisfy Lust, Greed, Pride, or Envy…  Wrath is on an entirely different level.  The more you feed it, the hotter the fire burns.  Acedia doesn’t want much of anything, Gluttony wants to eat everything, Pride and Envy want to surpass everything, Lust wants…  Well, let’s try not to have an X-rated character sheet, shall we?  But Lust’s desire also involves everything.  Wrath, though…  Wrath just destroys.  Even a little provocation turns him into a ravening monster.</em><br/><br/><strong>Occult: Banishing (Skill)</strong>[10] (30)<em>The host knows more about the magical arts than he ever wanted to.  He used to be a decent mage, at the level where people would want to learn from him and perhaps read his books, but not especially well-known.  But his career really took off after the Sins arrived.  Now his real area of expertise is banishing.  He knows nine-tenths of all rituals for this purpose from any earth culture, any time period, and a great many alien ones as well.  He can calculate Pythagorean exorcisms, perform Enemy Ghost Ways, write effective ofuda on the fly, purify ase…  He also knows that none of it has the least impact on the Sins.  Well, one made Lust laugh at him, but that’s about it.</em><br/><br/><strong>Reincarnation</strong>[10] (50)<em>If the host gets himself killed, the Sins will simply force him back into existence with their combined will (over the course of 1 round).  They need a body, after all, and they certainly aren’t going to let one human’s mistake get in their way.  They tend to make the process excruciatingly unpleasant as a warning against similar mistakes in the future.  To stop the reincarnation, just kill off or separate him from the Sins.</em><br/><br/><strong>Defect</strong>(Points Earned)<em>Description</em><br/><strong>Blind Fury</strong>(6)<em>Whenever the host channels Wrath, he automatically enters the Blind Fury state.  In order to leave this state, one of two things must happen.  Either Wrath must be suppressed—no easy task; suppressing him means either incapacitating him (as per the weapon variable) or killing him—or Wrath must be imprisoned in a chamber with NO valid targets that he can perceive.  A valid target is anything Wrath can destroy without killing himself; an opponent he can’t beat is still a valid target.  He’ll attack walls (unless breaking them would send him flying into the vacuum of space), physical objects (unless they’re jars filled with poison gas or something), and other people (friends or foes).</em><br/><br/><strong>Inept Attack</strong>(30)<em>If, for any reason, the host tries to fight in his ‘natural state,’ the Sins will <strong>all</strong>, Gluttony included, immediately attempt to offer mutually contradictory advice.  The only thing they agree on is that any one of them would “do it better” than the host.  All the shouting in his head reduces the host’s ACV by 3.</em><br/><br/><strong>Marked, Unappealing</strong>(6)<em>The host’s entire body (including his face, eyelids, palms, and the soles of his feet) is covered in tattoos, ritual scarification, and other permanent markings.  These markings between them represent pretty much every form of evil human beings ever imagined.  The markings are verbal and in languages that are fairly outdated, but since some ancient languages (notably  Egyptian and Chinese) used pictograms, most people can tell what the markings say if they concentrate hard enough.</em><br/><br/><strong>Unique Defect</strong>(6)<em>While the Sins are always whispering things in the host’s mind, channeling a Sin corrupts the host on a far deeper level.  For every ten minutes (rounded down) that the host channels a Sin (other than Wrath, who has a much more serious problem) in a day, the host receives an associated Lesser Defect (at the -3 level) for that many <strong>days</strong>.  For instance, if the host channeled Greed for eleven minutes, he’d spend the next day Easily Distracted by items of high value and/or liquid wealth.  The host does not receive any character points for these defects.</em><br/>
