The Power of Virtue (OOC/Sign-Up)

The power of Virtue

Brief plot:

Pride - Envy - Gluttony - Lust - Anger - Greed - Sloth. Seven deadly sins.
Courage - Justice - Mercy - Generosity - Faith - Nobility - Hope. Seven knightly virtues.

Seven sins. Seven virtues. These are only a few of all the vices and virtues out in the world. A world where everything is what man call normal. But, is it really? One could wish, one could wish.

A long time ago, an army was forged. It was not a large army, but the most powerful army the world could ever face. The project was a failure and was shut down. The geneticaly manipulated babies were brought to real life with a sleeping additional gene in their body that was promised to never become active. Until some time ago, these people were all normal children, studying at a normal school. The thing that differed these children from everyone else, is that each individual personality had one out of their vices or virtues strengthened above natural.

About one or two years ago, a man of unknown identity activated these genes. The gene that gave the wielder of the gene special powers, specified for that specific vice or virtue. Some were not strong enough to resist the will of this man, and joined an evil cause. Some were consumed by the powers and went their own path.

Some decided to use their vice or virtue to do good. One out of these, is you!

**In case you are not sure what Vice or Virtue is, I'll give you a brief description**

Virtue is moral excellence of a person. A virtue is a character trait valued as being good. The conceptual opposite of virtue is vice.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtue

Vice is the opposite of virtue. The word vice comes from the Latin word vitium, meaning "failing or defect".

[Sorry if it is short. I am a little bit busy, but wanted my character on the road 😄]

Name: Aslin Brooks
Age: 18
Occupation: Massage therapist
Vice/Virtue: Sensuality
Power:
- Drain energy: She can drain one's willpower and physical energy if she can keep her lips on theirs for more than 1 second.
- Vitality: she can heal herself and others, by donating her own energy.
Personality: Aslin has a dominant, strong personality. She does not back off easily, and usually gets her way. She is not conceited, but she uses what she's got. She is immensly in tuned ot peoples feelings, and while she is in fact carrying a sinful gene, she is serene and virtually kind to every one. It is her innerself that makes her such an omen.
Appearance:

History:

Aslin does not remember her childhood well, and keeps what she does very quiet. From a young age she was forced into maturity, causing her to lose most childhood memories. Aslin was born unwanted, and had strived ot be wanted, in some way...any way...all her life. She had no idea who her mother was, and her father left when she was 14, claiming it was all 'too much' for him. At that age and now she has been taking care of her younger sister Kayce.
~
Kayce never did let it show through how upset she was with life, unlike her sister Aslin. It always seemed Aslin could make the best of any situation. Kayce, a few years younger than Aslin, wanted only to follow in her sister's footsteps. She was so smart, pretty, and brave. Kayce oculd never match it. Finally she met someone who could turn her world around. Someone who showed her the meaning of what she came to know as 'love'. Thats not all she was shown either.

After Aslin found out what her sister had been doing , she attempted to sheild her through it, and has only been able to accomplish that because she was so exposed. Kayce now tries to fight her needs, and follows closely again behind her sister.

The discovering of their powers has brought them closer than ever.
History ^

Appearance:

Personality: Kayce, unlike her sister, is quiet and withheald. She has no care for other's opinions, and does not often speaks her mind. She keeps to herself, but is still not rude. Her sister is really the only one within her almost impenetrable shell. While this is true, however, she is captivating in her ways. To many, irresistable.

Power:
- Hallucination: Kayce can make any person see whatever scene she wants for 1 whole minute. The very strong of mind can resist this.
-Expulsion: She can dismiss someones soul, and posses them while they are in any unconcious state. ( ie, sleeping, unconsious ( duh ), VERY abscent of mind, drunk, high....etc. )

Occupation: Carpenter
Vice/Virtue: Creativity

- Capable of summoning any object (Like characters in Cartoons who can take out a flower from nowhere)
- Anything he draws can be used in real life (If he draws a door on a wall, you will be able to walk trough the door even though it was not there at first)
Personality: Kind, Helpful, VERY Calm, Humoristic (In his opinion)
Appearance:

History: Trough his upgrowth, not until recently have he been aknowledged a lot. Since his powers became activated, his art have gone into history. Some say he is a better painter than many of the greatest, and a whole lot quicker. Some claim he is fake, but he does not care much of what other thinks. He likes his work and is the best carpenter in town.

Compared to some, Duke was not even one bit suprised about obtaining special powers. He did not consider it something special, and just because he is such a calm person, he did not ask himself a lot of questions about it. He simply accepted it as the gift it was and carried on with his life like nothing had happened.

is it possible for me to join DE.

He left for a while, but he said any one is welcome, just pic a vice/virtue that hasn't been taken yet.

If courage is a virtue can I have dibs on it

Very interesting... even though DE stole its idea!!!!

Nah, I'm just screwing with you. But not really. So we can be one of the seven knightly virtues?

Yes you can, trademark...
Yes you can, Jack of Light... Only the seven sins are not allowed, as well as those listed in the first post..

Name: Ishachus(Issac) Lucius

Age: 17

Occupation: N/A

Virtue: Benevolance

Power: Aide- Aide a downed friend. Revive if fainted. Heal if wounded.
Charity- Sacrifice X amount of life force to either save, or strengthen a friend.

Personality: Kind, sweet, caring, generous

History: Not much to tell.
That is, anything anyone cares worth hearing.
Orphaned. Abandoned. Any word you use for it, it's still the same. But still, with all he's been through, Issac has managed to stay good. True. Well, slightly. That is another story... For another entity.
He has been to a Catholic school in Rome for orphaned boys since he was left on it's doorstep years ago. But, the teachings of 'God' seemed contradicting, and he hadn't really started to believe just yet.
A year ago, he started to feel... Different. Now, the flashes had been going on throughout his life. The falling in and out of conciousness that left him somewhere he didn't remember going, or doing something that he wouldn't normally have done. But, they were occuring more often now, and it felt like he was keeping something... Locked deep inside of him, and when these flashes occured... It came out. Now he is waking up in pools of blood. Bodies are all around him. Issac doesn't know what to do, so he set off on the run. From Rome, he found his way all the way up to Northern Germany, and plans on going to Ireland, and then America. But the flashes... Everywhere he goes he becomes a criminal. Doctors refuse to help him. He is alone.

But at the same time.

He isn't.

Appearence:
(Both pictured. Good half left, bad half right.)

Name: Samael(Literally: Angel of Death)

Age: 17

Occupation: N/A

Vice: Malevolence(Changing from Sacrifice)

Power: Hellflame- Contradicting it's title, Hellflame sends a chill up the target's spine. Literally. It freezes their insides. If not killing them, it'll hurt. Excuse the pun, but it'll hurt like Hell.

And Serpents Are the Form of the Devil Himself- Serpents Manifest out of selected objects(Sticks, books, tables, trees, etc.), but a limited number are availabe. Size is restricted only to the size of the object. But, larger the size, the more energy consumed(I.E. If he changes the Empire State Building into a snake, chances are he'll be knocked out, if not dead.)

Personality: Considering he is the closest thing to the AntiChrist to Manifest and walk the Earth, he's close to Pure Evil. And yet, he's far from it. Maliceing, Hateful, Spiteful, and all the other traits that could be labled here, but won't. He is the exact opposite of his counterpart.

History: He's been kept supressed to long. He wants a life. A body. A soul. Lucius wants to keep him bottled up, but no! You can only keep the monster contained before it decides to bite. He's coming.
And He ISN'T happy.

Name: Diana Maximum
Age: 27
Occupation: Nurse
Vice/Virtue: Wisdom and Truthfulness (If we can have two, that is. I was aiming to have them relate to each other.)
Power: Omniscience. Able to know every single thing in the universe. (Hope this isn't god-moding) Truthfulness. Able to get anyone to tell the truth.

Personality: Diana is a know-it all, literally. She has the power of omniscience, meaning that she knows everything there is to know about everything. She is also a very truthful person, seeing that that's her second power, making anyone she wishes tell the truth.

Appearance: Pic
History: Miss Maximum was an average woman. A nurse who was in the process of buying her own home. That is until she realized that she was explaining her financier's job to him. She had never went to school for financing and thought it weird that kind of information just popped up in her mind.

A few months later, while she was with a patient who wouldn't tell her family why she was in the hospital. Diana thought that the woman should just tell her family and the woman did.

It is unclear whether or not Diana knows about the events that are about to take place but she does know about the prophecy of the virtues.
