Se7en Sins and Virtues

[Ash]

I did a quick search and found nothing relating to this, so I became super curious!!

Obviously we are all a little familiar with the Seven Sins, might even call them deadly.

Gluttony (Habitual Greed)
Sloth (Indolence)
Greed
Wrath
Pride
Lust
Envy

Some might not know there is a list of Seven Virtues as well:

Prudence (Foresight Sagacity)
Justice
Faith
Hope
Charity
Temperance (Self-Restraint)
Courage


A good character has flaws along side of qualities that make them 'awesome'. To make an interesting character, it's required. (Anti-Mary-Sue/Stu) ((Disclaimer: That's my opinion.)) And no one sin/virtue will explain your character perfectly, in fact its most likely that the character has done all or most of the two lists. But there's always one or two that are strongest in our actions!!


So bare the chracter's soul before me, what Sin is most prominent in your character, and what Viture does she/he have to save them. (Limit it to 2 if you feel the need to use more than one)





My Characters:

ASH
If everyone is still guessing what Ash's major sin is then you might seriously be surprised to find that it is Lust. Not just because she is sexy and doesn't shy away from the subject of dirty things, but becasue she has a lust for danger.

Finding a virtue for her is hard, but I will put my money on Courage because while she may not use it as the 'right' thing to do, she has more guts than most men she's met.

DUST
Despite what people slap on Dust, his sin is not Lust. He literally has to kiss people for his power. Enjoying it is just something he wants. In his current state I'd say Pride is his sin, but not in an arrogance kind of way. He wants to be great, he wants to be seen as a good guy.

At the risk of not breaking my own rule I will limit his list of Virtues just to the two he shows the most, but most of these can be used for him. In his current state - it will change - Charity and Justice. He has a strong want to help people, and be a hero.
