This was a fun exercise. Granted first I bawked and guffawed and thought I’d breeze right through this but certain ones caused me to stop and really think about exactly how my character is shaped. ANYWAY, here ya go:
Lafiaht Dwinani
Rating Scale:
1 - 10. 1 as complete Sin. 10 as complete Virtue. 4 near the middle, closer to the Sin. 5 near the middle closer to the Virtue.
Lust vs Chasity
3
Lafiaht is utterly unabashed in her sexuality. Sex—to her—is as much of a biological imperative as eating or sleeping. She’ll bed someone when she feels she needs it but demands respect from her partners. There are clear standards on the Keeper’s part. When it comes to recreational sex partners are in high supply and low demand, and she will happily disengage from one person if it prospects seem better with another.
Non-sexually Lafiaht. . . wants. Contentedness is posed as a good thing to keep people with less from wanting more and Lafiaht wants the most. Will she take everything? Likely not, but that doesn’t stop her desires. Â
Gluttony vs Temperance
2
Lafiaht would like to think she can exercise restraint. She really would. When push comes to shove. . .she might! Still, that doesn’t mean she will in all circumstances. The cat staunchly follows a “do what makes for the better story†mantra. Sure, she could say “I went to a party and it was very nice†and that’s. . . quaint but not very interesting. “I went to a party and it was very nice. I drank till I was piss drunk, threw up on the hosts’ wife, and tried to steal a chocobo.†Now that sounds like a good story. Indulgence is the spice of life. . . For Lafi, anyway.
Greed vs Charity
5
In conjunction with her ratings on lust and gluttony this may seem paradoxical but. . . There’s no use of being the queen of nothing. There’s no value in your assets if they aren’t shared. Lafiaht has a strong desire for material wealth. . . But sees little point in hoarding it all. There’s a good reason the people at the top of the latter are miserable and lonely, she thinks, and she’d rather not ever be there if she can help it. . . But walls lined with gil would be nice, too.
Sloth vs Diligence
7
At first glance Lafiaht seems lazy and utterly shiftless but often times has some sort of goal. . . even if it’s utterly abstract. The Keeper is unable to go through life without some sort of aim. It’s a residual trait from living in a tribe. You can only keep what you can hold and you can only have what you can earn. Duties that Lafiaht takes up will always be completed.
Wrath vs Patience
6
As both an arcanist and someone who wants to be a teacher in the future there is little control in anger. Lafiaht may had had trouble with it when she was younger and may face trouble with it under certain circumstance but when rarely does she succumb to an uncontrolled anger. Experience has taught her that a little patience (and experimentation) can go a long way in getting the outcome that she’s looking for.
Envy vs Kindness
8
Kindess is what forcibly rips Lafiaht out of the “villain†spectrum and lands her with a dull thud into “neutral†territory. Despite any adversity that’s thrown her way Lafiaht has a near compulsion to be nice (or at least civil) with others more often times than not. Even through her aggressive mannerisms she’d much rather outstretch her hand than kick someone while they’re down. The only thing stopping this from being higher is that Lafiaht's kindness comes at arm's length and people coming too close as a result of her actions are prone to making her drop whatever she's been doing and run off.
Pride vs Humility
4
Lafiaht is proud and routinely haughty. Why wouldn’t she be? She’s not one of your giggling Seeker girls or worse some half cocked Nuhn. She’s a woman of the woods. She’s pulled herself out of the mud and away from primitive trappings to become an academic all while staying away from societal trappings as well. She’s amazi—Okay not quite. In fact, while Lafiaht is good at what she does she’s only just started on her road to bettering herself. There’s nothing to show for her perceived strengths and accomplishments. In fact, her pride does little more than hold her back, make her look utterly silly, and keep up tensions between herself and people she might actually get along with were she to tone it down a little.
Does your character lean more towards the Sins or the Virtues?
Sins. Life is short and death takes all. Should there be a place separate for those with a certain propriety about them Lafiaht wants to be far far away from that place.
Which Sin does your character most emulate?
Gluttony. On a more spiritual level Lafiaht is so excessive that it’s incredibly difficult for her to acclimate to more modest living.
Which Virtue does your character most emulate?
Kindness. The world is in bad shape and near everyone has forgotten about the middle men and the little guy. Lafiaht hasn’t.
Which of these Sins or Virtues do you and/or your character believe theyneed to work on the most?
Humility. Apparently when Lafiaht was shoving her fingers into every pie she could get her hands on she skipped humble pie. There will be no progression for her as a person if she can't learn to take herself down a peg.
