No one is perfect. All of us are subject to temptation. In the grand scheme of things, one might say we are puppets on a string, dancing for cruel gods that like to watch us suffer, and the suffering we bring to others. For all the good we do, in the grand book of life each of us carry, at least one page carries a blot, a stain upon its paper, and we can never cleanse it.Â
So tell me, fellow roleplayers, what are the inkblots in your character's book of life? What terrible (or not so terrible) thing pervades their existence?
What unforgettable, unforgivable sin bastardizes their soul?
Okay, enough waxing poetic. Basically, does your character have something in their past that they did that was totally or even partly wrong, and how do they deal with it? What terrible acts have they committed that they wish to forget?
Let me be frank in the commencement; rape, murder, torture, and other unpleasantness are not to be censored. I'm asking you to be blunt, so if someone comes in here and is appalled that yes, someone would put that in their roleplay arc, I ask that that person vacate the thread as opposed to sitting here and ranting about it.
So, let us begin! And administration, please keep an eye on this thread, as you have my other ones. I appreciate it.
Murder.
Also arson. Vandalism, threatening the peace, assault, bribery, extortion, theft, and jaywalking.
And drinking.
Almost defecting to Garlemald when he was their prisoner and being tortured. He was not able to last much longer, luckily he was rescued.
No one knows how close he came.
NO ONE
Erik has been a the game for a long time, and has done many bad things. So much that he, very privately, that when he dies, no matter how much good he does, he is damned for the life he has lead.
If you want a list,....
He's tortured.... alot. Lied, killed (justifiably) and murdered. He is not above trickery where needed, and will use whatever advantage available to complete his mission. But that is all something he keeps to himself. There is only one person that knows how deep the hole is, and its not Clio.
Casually requesting a "attempted repression" option.
But yeah. Murder and drinking. And though it's not really a sin, she feels guilty about having falling in love and gotten intimate a couple times much too quickly earlier in her life.
Manslaughter (Accidental murder)
Attempted murder
Kicking a Lady journalist in the chest.
Attacking an innocent man with a roasted whole dodo while drunk.
Torture
Kidnapping
Acting beyond the scope of my oaths
Disregarding direct orders
Entrapment
Illegal Parking of a Horsebird

You monster.
A couple for Shas that one or two might know about IC. Assassination (murder of specific Garleans), torture of the same Garleans. Leaving the Sultanswarn and leaving her daughter with her father after the Calamity, and being somewhat of womanizer...
Sins against Garlemald aren't really sins, per se...
Murder seems to be the new black.
I had a character bake a positvely sinful triple chocolate raspberry cake once.
Val has killed people. He doesn't feel the slightest bothered by it. In fact, it's how he feels one should deal with problems. If they're a big enough issue, get rid of them. He won't kill a person that bumps into him, but he doesn't rule it out as an option if someone is attempting to harm him or someone he holds dear. He's also pretty promiscuous and has had a lot of unwed intercourse and all that, convinced wives/girlfriends to cheat on their spouses/significant others, etc.Â
Melfice, on the other hand, has also murdered. He isn't bothered by it, but he feels differently than Val. Val feels as if their deaths are justified because they tried to slight him. Melfice feels their deaths are justified because they are lesser beings than him, and most of the time their deaths were for some purpose beyond their otherwise mundane existence (For science!). He's experimented on people, left them disfigured and deformed, and toyed with others simply to gauge what reaction it may have on their lives--including those he supposedly loves. He has also raped someone before, and while he likes to pretend to be apologetic about it, he's really not. It was a means to an end, and a way to teach someone a lesson the only way he knew how they'd listen.
Cyrus.. his ideal of a sin is looking at a woman's cleavage. He's far too nice. He doesn't steal, doesn't say "bad" words, and tries to keep himself sin-free.
Vallois has also murdered, but unlike Val or Melfice, he does so because he was paid for it. He's a mercenary, and if someone requires being killed, he'll do it so long as the pay is decent enough.
Jajara is guilty of adultery and... tax evasion? OOPS.
Delial... has a long list! Murder, thievery, kidnapping, torture, assault, bribery, a brief stint with slavers, and a small helping of arson. No smuggling, though! Smuggling's for weenies.
Denial and repression.
If I don't acknowledge my sins, they can't be that bad right?
