What Sins Have Your Characters Committed?

[Sounsyy]

There's lots of murder in Sounsyy's background. Seems pretty common trend.

 

-Violently bludgeoned a man to death (who deserved it).

-Aided in the Corpse Brigade's kidnappings and ransom of Ul'dahn Elite.

-As a Lieutenant in the Barracuda, she handled interrogations and torture.

-May have done nothing to save her first Captain in the 'Cudas.

-Ordered the execution of Kobold prisoners in the Iron Lake occupation.

-Requested to have her already decimated Levy assigned to Carteneau.

-In short, is responsible for the death of a lot of people.

 

She has a lot of regrets. But she justifies a lot of the awful things she done as things that needed to happen. Needless to say, she doesn't sleep well at night very often.

[Caspar]

Virara has stolen, including from the sickly and young, assaulted others, and killed a man (Unintentionally?).

 

Fear the fake cyclops popoto.

 

Granted, this was years ago and she's reformed quite a bit, even if she's still a bit of a bully inside. Even if she did most of what she did just to not starve, she does harbor regret from that underneath it all.

[Zael Aders]

Pride/Pleasure isn't an option on this poll?

 

I suppose all in all Ludivine is guilty of anything and everything that isn't a sexual/romantic crime.

 

And she loves every minute of it.

[Ruran]

Locke: Murder, which he grieves about almost daily. And very recently, he committed high-profile thievery. Locke doesn't justify any of his crimes, and he tries to keep his slate as clean as possible.

 

Orrian: Performance of various taboo rituals, possession of illegal substances, torture, murder, heretical worship. He doesn't feel any remorse for it, thinking that they're necessities to achieve his personal goals.

[PkThunda]

I play a fancy hooker who's hungry for gil.

 

So...

Pride

Greed

Gluttony

Envy

And technically lust, though for material wealth instead of lecherous intention.

 

She hasn't killed anyone, though. So she's got that going for her.

 

And naw, she doesn't regret a thing.

Gotta do what you gotta do, yanno?

[Tali]

Sins... sins... sins...

 

 

 

Nah, Kilid's already done his fair share of wrong, but always for the right reasons!  Murder?  Check, but only in self-defense (And, at the time, defense of another).  Theft?  Check, but... but... uhh... Oh look, distraction!

 

The need to eat can be a mighty strong motivation, in his defence!

[Desu Nee]

Quki has a serious problem with crossing moral borders if she's pushed enough or for the sake of being stronger.

[DeletedUser]

Inarah has murdered in self defence, although whether the force used was justified is another matter... Thievery and lies galore too but her targets are far from pristine themselves. She views her crimes as means to an end and doesn't particularly feel any guilt over them.

[Knight Kat]

Some of you make these lists with no context, and it makes all your characters look crazy.

 

Kiht has killed, but only in self-defense, or the defense of others who she felt needed and deserved defense. She's never killed an unarmed foe, and never would kill someone just for an insult alone. She does not see these killings as sins. If someone was armed and ready to hurt her or someone else who she saw as undeserving of assault then Kiht thinks she has a right to respond with deadly force, and feels no guilt for doing such.

 

Kiht has aided in the torture of an assassin who attacked her allies. She does consider that a sin, and sees it as a scar on her honor.

 

Kiht had done nothing to prevent smuggling of a (likely illegal) toxin she knew about. But she had little knowledge of what was and wasn't illegal to put on the market at the time. Silly Kiht. She sees that as a sin of ignorance because it later caused major problems.

 

She has aided and harbored fugitives of Ishgard and Ul'dah. But she has also aided fugitives who were after other fugitives. She just doesn't even sometimes.

 

She has lied a few times. Kiht rarely lies because she sees doing so as sinful.

 

Kiht has done accidental poaching. That gave her a WOODsin. According to the Gridanians, she is cleansed of that now. Yay for cleansing rituals.

 

Kiht's sin tally:

 

Lying (maybe three times over the course of a year)

Torture (only once)

Acting on ignorance (a reoccurring problem >_>)

 

The two former she deals with by resolving to never do them again, and find some way to learn from them. The third has actually been the cause of most of her problems.

[Coatleque]

While there are many things she has done to herself that Coatleque would consider unforgivable sins, there is nothing she has ever done to another person that would keep her awake at night.

[Knight Kat]

While there are many things she has done to herself that Coatleque would consider unforgivable sins, there is nothing she has ever done to another person that would keep her awake at night.

 

Crofte is such a shining knight of goodness.

 

But that doesn't mean anyone should mess with her.

 

She will stab them in their maws.

[Roen]

there is nothing she has ever done to another person that would keep her awake at night.

 

Hmmm. Let's see if we can change this... eh? :evil:

 

As for Roen, she is currently protecting a man who has killed innocents. Women and children. This haunts her nightly. She has confessed this guilt to only a few.

 

She has also ran away from battle, leaving quite a few injured behind. She was just a kid then, but she stil harbors guilt over it. This she has not told anyone.

[Jana]

Jana's ready and willing to kill if it advances her goal in some way. While it hasn't come up too often and she hasn't killed any RP characters, her mindset is to bury her bodies with more bodies, and she's okay with the fact that her own is likely to top off the pile if it means achieving those goals. There was also that one time she began a personal genocide against the Amalj'aa in the name of gaining some more magical power... In comparison, things like "lying" or "misrepresenting the truth" to keep others in the dark is really nothing compared to her body count, well over 100 if regular adventurer and soldier fighting is counted.

 

One thing Jana will proudly say she's never done is steal material things from another person, though.

 

Edit: While she's getting over it, her prejudices against tribal Seekers are nothing short of hypocritical, since her willingness to fight, maim, and kill makes her more barbaric than any of those she's encountered!

[Coatleque]

Crofte is such a shining knight of goodness.

 

But that doesn't mean anyone should mess with her.

 

She will stab them in their maws.

 

No fair! It was still a dragon at the time and she didn't know the thing would change back!

[Chillsmack]

Doendraga occasionally punts Lalafells off the pier and distracts Miqo'te with laser pointers...is that wrong?

[Dravus]

Graeham's heritage is a closely guarded secret. He's only informed a handful of close friends and so at times he's deceived others as to his origins. That's as much to protect his allies as it is a matter of self preservation however.

 

He has also slept with people for information and gil, which doesn't seem too bad given the nature of the setting but he feels bad about deceiving people that he was head over heels in love with them at the time.

 

He hasn't killed anyone...yet. He's learning how to defend himself in a fight however so that may change at some point in the future.

 

At his core he's one of the 'good guys' though. After playing a variety of morally grey characters in the past I decided to deliberately embrace a concept that doesn't involve a whole lot of fighting.

[Askier]

Ohhh lets start with Jin'li here.

 

- Murder - Through his various schemes he has killed thousands of people.

- Lying - He tells lies easily to manipulate people.

- Blackmail - He often uses people's loved ones and secrets to force them to do things they normally wouldn't

 

Now on to Askier....oh boy....I'll just use generics of one example of each cause there are a lot for each one.

 

- Murder - Several times, normally though was back when he was working for Adin. Killed a few people in bar fights as well.

 

- Anger - I put this one down because this is out of control a good amount of the time and has led to many explosions and violent actions.

 

- Pride - Yeah he honestly believes he is right about almost anything and hates admiting he is wrong.

 

- Theft - Askier has stolen many things, including a few hearts ;p .

 

- Lying - He has often lied to trick people, like Delial during his first operation in Ul'dah.

 

- Destruction of things - The miqo'te builds bombs for a living and has a temper...seriously this has to go in here, the man is a walking natural disaster waiting to happen.

 

- Betrayal - He is a deserter from the Garlean Army, and has stabbed a few employers in the back, or planned to, like the time he planned on gutting Natalie McBeef but Oscare beat him to it.

[C'kayah Polaali]

Torture (only once)

 

That's not true! She participated in the capture and (brief) torture of C'kayah! So, twice!

[Knight Kat]

Torture (only once)

 

That's not true! She participated in the capture and (brief) torture of C'kayah! So, twice!

 

Oh yes! I nearly forgot about how she "captured" (helped save his arse) and "tortured" (tried to prevent him from more attempts at suicide) him that one night where they put him in a bed, started stripping him and tried to tie him up...

 

Okay, well it wasn't torture though. I know he is use to that treatment!

[Delilah Scythewood]

I laughed way too hard at this.

[BumblingSeaBiscuit]

Playing upon the concept of the "Seven Deadly Sins," I'll sort of list them off in that fashion.

 

Lust

This is going to be her major one. Ezhara spent a handful of years as a courtesan and whereas that does entail a lot of other traits, sexual aspects come with the job.

 

Greed

It depends on the context. Material items are not something required for Ezhara's happiness (she's survived long enough on bare basics). However, she is "greedy" in a different sense. With a high value on the lives she's chosen to entwine with hers, she can be protective, occasionally overly so.

 

Wrath

Exterior and interior. Ezhara has killed people but no one that she wouldn't kill again. All her choices have been made in the defence of her or people she loves. With a preference to heal people over kill them, Ezhara's decision to kill someone comes with a great debate in her mind. Almost always (if not always) the people / things she has killed have been beyond -- what she believes -- savable. 

 

On a similar road, Ezhara suffers from a handful of terrors from her past. Plagued with the inability to sleep well from survivor's guilt, she also has abandonment issues, and an assortment of other anxiety quirks. Wrapping them up in an unpleasant bow is her depression. Having been self-abusive (mentally and physically), she's certainly "sinning" in this sense. Though, as time goes on, she's starting to build herself stronger and push through. It's a slow process.

 

Sloth

This is not a sin Ezhara truly suffers from.

 

Gluttony

This is another sin that Ezhara does not really partake in. 

 

Envy

It's not unusual for Ezhara to be envious of what people may or may not have over her. This is just a trait that comes to people almost naturally. However, the greatest jealousy she once had she's mostly overcome, due to it no longer being a presence within her life.

 

Pride

Again, this is not a trait that Ezhara hosts. She's incredibly humble as a character and strives to be just that. It would also greatly conflict with her self-inflicted "wrath" trait. 

 

 

. . . Yup!

[Naunet]

There is a terrifying number of murderers in Eorzea!

[C'kayah Polaali]

I was actually talking about Miah breaking his fingers, but...

[K'nahli]

There is a terrifying number of murderers in Eorzea!

 

There really is. Brutal ones at that....      *buys a nightlight*

[Dat Oni]

There is a terrifying number of murderers in Eorzea!

 

There really is. Brutal ones at that....      *buys a nightlight*

 

And I am guilty of shining a bright light on all of them and exposing the hidden malice of this Fantasy world to a public that now needs many security blankets.

 

On the plus side, sales for security blankets have skyrocketed...
