Sins



The Seven Cardinal Sin and the Seven Heavenly Virtues were once fallen angels and angels, respectively, that were involved in the battle that caused the cataclysm that ripped apart the world. Although the great battle has ended eons ago, their battle still continues. Said to have been lost in the great calamity, their essences or spirits remain and actively seek out suitable hosts – both living and non-living.

The Sins and Virtues are stuck in the past, unable to retain the memories and experiences from the hosts they possess. They have to restart with each new vessel they acquire. This is true for all except for the Sin of Lust who managed to survive the calamity. Yet everyone assumes the Sin of Lust works in the same manners as the others.

Why they still remain is unknown. Perhaps it is their punishment for causing the cataclysm. Perhaps they are destined to repair the world they were responsible in breaking. But whether they help to fix the world or whether they help to destroy it further, only time will tell. People only know that for them the battle has not yet ended.

Seven Cardinal Sins
Pride - Current Host: Jonathan Voldaren

Believing that one is essentially better than others, failing to acknowledge the accomplishments of others, and excessive admiration of the personal self (especially holding self out of proper position toward God)

Envy

Is characterized by an insatiable desire. Envy is similar to jealousy in that they both feel discontent towards someone's traits, status, abilities, or rewards. The difference is the envious also desire the entity and covet it.

Gluttony

Is the overindulgence and over consumption of anything to the point of waste. In Christianity, it is considered a sin if the excessive desire for food causes it to be withheld from the needy.

Lust - Severity B Kenshin

An intense and uncontrolled desire. It is usually thought of as uncontrolled sexual wants. However, the word was originally a general term for desire. Therefore, lust could include the uncontrolled desire for money, food, fame, or power.

Wrath - Current Host: Kyojin

Described as inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger. Wrath, in its purest form, presents with self-destructiveness, violence, and hate that may provoke feuds that can go on for centuries.

Greed

Also known as avarice, cupidity or covetousness, is, like lust and gluttony, a sin of excess. However, greed (as seen by the Church) is applied to a very excessive or rapacious desire and pursuit of material possessions.

Sloth

While sloth is sometimes defined as physical laziness, spiritual laziness is emphasized. Failing to develop spiritually will lead to becoming guilty of sloth. In the Christian faith, sloth rejects grace and God. Sloth has also been defined as a failure to do things that one should do. By this definition, evil exists when good men fail to act.
