I'm also not a fan of paring down a character to simple whole numbers, so I reserve the right to bookend this post by saying these values are subject to flux and change depending on how character progression and roleplay moves.
That all said...this is a very fun thought exercise and good to mull over and outline my character's "roundness". Which sounds a bit like I'm checking out her butt, now that I'm reading that... <.<;
Ahem. Here we go.
Lust vs Chasity: 2
Steel has been widowed for about six years now, and the wants of a woman are very prevalent in her right now. That said, it's not the singular driving force of her character or by any means all that she devotes her thoughts to. She misses her husband dearly, and many nights alone have reminded her the value of physical contact.
Gluttony vs Temperance: 3
Steel doesn't live her life in long spans of indulgence at all times, but when one works hard one also plays hard, and she will enjoy herself to the fullest...or at least whatever her coinpurse will allow. To that point, she's hardly drowning in gil and so knows when to be a spendthrift.
Greed vs Charity: 7
While Steel is very much about self-preservation and personal subsistence, she will be one of the first to aid someone where and how she can, generally using strength-at-arms or her loud mouth to divert attention to herself. Hardly selfless, but she also recognizes her personal strength and knows how to brandish it to help people.
Sloth vs Diligence: 8
Steel has been a hard worker her entire life, and though she has been prone to despair or malaise on occasion, she still puts her entire effort into nearly every endeavor. She doesn't often know when she's in over her head or if something is outside of her skillset...but that won't be for lack of attempting.
Wrath vs Patience: 1
Steel has been in a state of inner seething after an incident at the Lichyard that has ignited her drive. The pain of loss and the disgust and rage at those who perpetuate the ills of the realm have pushed her onward, seeing her lash out against the Castrums still in the land or lending extra brutality to the leves she undertakes. Training with the Marauder's Guild and use of a greataxe have only fueled this fire.
Envy vs Kindness: 8
Steel is prone to snap judgments, and if she sees one raising a weapon she will intercede and match force with force before asking questions...but she still offers a ready smile to anyone who approaches, and even a smirk at those who would approach her with a level of braggadocio or sourness, tending to be unimpressed with such attitudes. She's a Lominsan. She's used to people trying to act tough to all within earshot. She's heard it aaaaaall before.
Pride vs Humility: 4
Steel always tends to speak about her virtues, be they physical or otherwise, but she often does this with a playful smile and not a great level of seriousness. She's not lacking in self-confidence. She will, however, bow her head in acknowledgement of strength that meets or exceeds her own, taking the knowledge that people that exceed her own power exist as a challenge to be met. Incidentally, she holds a particular sense of awe for those gifted in the use of magic and the healing arts--skills that generally defy her ability.
Does your character lean more towards the Sins or the Virtues?
On a score of 4-3, sins. Just barely so.
Which Sin does your character most emulate?
In general? Pride. She approaches and carries herself with the typical swagger that's inherent of all Roegadyn...or all Lominsans. That said, she doesn't burst through a wall like the Kool-Aid Man and hopes to be approachable with her demeanor.
Which Virtue does your character most emulate?
Diligence. Some would call it "stubborn", but Steel is a very hard worker and tosses herself in to the fire of every task set before her...often without really thinking it through or reading the manual.
Which of these Sins or Virtues do you and/or your character believe they need to work on the most?
Wrath. Steel carries the weight of her husband's death in her heart constantly, and has been using it as a reason to unfurl her rage. She's not on a path of self-destruction, but the darkness in her heart could possibly consume her and make her lose sight of what's important.
