The Sins of Man (Casting Call)

THE SINS OF MAN

Lucifer, king of hell has grown tired of waiting, tired of the strengthening of man's will and the desire to create a better world. So he has sent his influence to us all, his seven immortal children of sin choosen to spread his will throughout the Earth. These children envoke the powers of their sin, as well as the gifts of demons and warriors. With them corrupting man all the quicker, their souls shall be of ripe harvest to descent to hell in tormented agony. Armaggedon is coming....and man dosen't even know it yet.

Or so we thought...

What do you do when you mix mankind's worst enemy with a television crew? A horribly hilarious and probably goofy reality show following the lives of these interesting people. They look no more than human but their lives are on a completely different level then our own. So lets get a closer look into the The Sins of Man, and see what makes these evil entities tick.

Haha... this was a last minute idea but I figured it be interesting. To mix drama with comedy. So I give to you our cast of characters "The Seven Deadly Sins". Each one of these sinfully interesting characters have been premade for your enjoyable pleasures. The only thing you get to make your own is their personalities. So without further ado, below are a list of the sins of which you can choose from. However, simply picking a sin will not get you in the door... I want to see how you flow. So I'll ask a few questions (as your Hostess) and see which reply is most enjoyable for this silly little thread.

YOUR CAST said:

Name: Cross Pente
Age: 40
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bi
Sin: Pride
Powers: The ability to turn any form of object into metal and bending or shaping that metal to his own will. He is also able to regenerate himself using a form of healing factor to return stronger than before.
Info: Pride is the excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity. Pride is linked with the horse and the color violet.
Weakness: Being broken in, dominated. Much like a horse he is wild and does not take kindly to someone with greater pride then him. In the end he'll kill himself before allowing another to make a mockery of him.
Bio: Cross Mente, grew up with his father abusing his mother, and his mother sleeping around, sound some what familiar? His first experince with torture was his pet mice, he would let them suffer with out food for a few days, so they would revert to eating them selves or each other. He would also place them in the rolling balls to roll for ages into exhaustion. When they died Cross would show them off proudly to his friends. By the age of ten he also realized that image, was important, so as he went through puberty, he dressed well and took care of himself, even eating right. He continues with the process today. Though it wasn't until he was older in which a voice started to speak to him, revealing who his true father was, Lucifer. A certain ritual would have to be practiced in order to awaken Cross' true powers. To which it was a success slowly his powers came to life, growing stronger and faster as his manipulation over metal also awakened. He currently runs his hotel and casino business while searching for the other children of sin like himself. (Note: Lust is his demon mother and he has a secret affair with Greed.)

Name: Usha
Age: 18
Gender: Hermaphrodite (Hir, neither male nor female)

Sin: Envy

Claiming to be 18 and yet not entirely sure, Usha is definately a force. Taking on many different identies over the years, having so many different memories to muddle one's mind and grow uncertain of their true identity, Usha has cast away the obvious gender differences and sexual orientations. Being able to take on any gender or sexual preference has given Usha the freedoms that many could only dream. With it, Usha has claimed many an empire taking over companies and franchises, stealing their monies, families and friends then disappearing without a trace.At current, Usha has taken on a simple college student slacker who has taken for granted his family's hard work to get him there. Too bad, he was such a nice kid too...

Eventually, Pandora's wants and needs became too demanding on her cosy lifestyle, driving her mother into a fit of rage. Where she was 'daddy's little girl', her mother was quite envious of her young daughter. Taking up most of her father's time and money, spending his charge cards on every little detail. From the most lavished of interior comforts to, sports cars and even went all out on her prom. Eventually, Pandora's spending habits bankrupt her family driving her mother to the looney bin and ultimately leading to her little brother's sucide for neglect. Her father lost everything and ended his life from a car accident brought on by the drinking. This did not phase Pandora as she delighted in the distruction around her.

Soon after, her true nature was awakened. Her love for the occult and darkness, once a fleeting interest, pulled her towards the darkness, here she discovered her true nature. She was the sin Lust, bride of Satan and leader of the sins. Through a vision she discovered her true abilities and the power her own body could wield. The innocent was no longer pure, and the girl plotted to test her skills on the man that had first shown her ugliness. Seducing her would-be step father; she spent a night with him, and then killed him, along with her mother. An investigation was held, but Lilith was never charged, and she went about her life, inheriting the multi-million dollar empire that was her father's legacy.

(Note: Older demon brother to Greed.)

Name: Jezebel Stone
Age: 25

Info: Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work. Sloth is linked with the goat and the color light blue.
Weakness: Poison. Say ahh bitch!
Bio: Jezebel has done little to nothing her whole life. Mostly fighting her way in and out of school, she eventually became a deliquent. Mostly a slacker her whole life, she amounted to a little more than nothing to her peers and family. That didn't bother her, as she spent most of her time just chillin hanging out with the few friends she did make. Eventually, she had a fall out with them and left them cold in the dust finding their antics and zeal for life annoying and mostly boring. She didn't have all the time in the world to go running around their small little town looking for fun... no she found fun right on the front porch of her home. After one day realizing she had the ability to toy with time, life couldn't have gotten much better. Instead of going to school or even working she spent the day slacking. It was what she was good at after all. Eventually she did return to school getting grades up through the use of her powers, landing herself a fine ass job and doing the same there. Now she doesn't even have to work as the money she's raised being a slacker does the work for her... who else would make up such an idea as the Pyramid Schemes you see on late night tv... a slacker such as herself. Let the dumb asses pay for something that didn't work while they practically handed her their money over the phone, internet and mail. Perfect.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v42/Kuuroinochou/Lit/Vanessa.gif
Name: Vanessa Curtis
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Info: Assitant Producer of the network and head publicist for 'The Sins of Man' reality series. She's been following the lives of these essentric people for some time now and has finally worked up enough political and public credit to warrant rights to a television series. Thus the show... There is speculation among the house members that her agenda is not what it appears.
Weakness: Lust and Greed; or more importantly she's very lustful of men and can't get enough of them. And she's a greedy girl when it comes to getting what she wants. Gluttony would be the another weakness of hers but she's not over obsessive in quantity as most would assume.
Bio: Vanessa grew up a girl wanting, living in not so great a background, she used her brians to get her far. Smarter then most but constantly falling because of her typical weakness. After graduating highschool she attentend college for Commincations and Broadcasting, landing a internship with a local news network, moving on from there she helped out behind the scenes in many television network projects and various programs. Soon and idea came to her, jumping on the reality bandwagon she presented her concept. It was in fact farfetched but managing to show proof that these sins infact existed in human form, she brought the full cast of sins to her producers. Finding that this might be an interesting concept they jumped on, and soon The Sins of Man was underway, ranking among the top reality shows since Flava of Love and the Sereal Life.

THE SETTING​

coming soon...


AUDITIONING FOR THE PART​

Yes yes folks, you must audition for the part of the Sins. What this entails is that I would ask you to pick a character you think you can play. I'll post a little scenario, perhaps a question or too and see how I think you'd play this Sin. If it fits with what I have in mind, you're in... if not hell who knows I might be inclined ot let you play anyway.

Yes you have a hermaphrodite in the crew, get over it this is a fun little thread to wind down and let off some steam.

At any rate, I will be your Hostess and camera crew.... Though I don't mind others jumping in for the part of camera crew as well. Yes you can corrupt the camera crew its your job, you can TRY to corrup the hostess but you'll find out later on in the story why she's not so easily swayed... teehee!


Below are some questions I'd like for you to answer IN CHARACTER so I can get an idea of how you plan to play this sin. Remember their personality is left up to you on how you plan to play them. There may be some slight character issues in their profiles but that is only minor. They can be as goofy or serious as you want them to be. I'm simply looking for someone that brings to the cast a point of interest. So without further ado... you questions:

PRIDE taken (Sean)

ENVY taken (Tenko)

LUST taken (Lily)

GLUTTONY How does it feel being compared to a similar more well known sin like Greed? What is a typical day in the life of Gluttony like?

WRATH taken (Dissy/Gag)

GREED How do you feel about taking Gluttony's lime light considering the two of you have a lot in common? Also it has been rumored that you and Pride are secret lovers, is this true and to what extent, and why is it a secret?

SLOTH Uh... you seem like a fierce chick. What's the club for? And what plans do you have for the rest of the household outside of anything dealing with a couch or a potato?

*Pounce*
Ya can't talk to me about it and expect me NOT to want in.

May I audition for Lilith/Lust?
 
Alrighty...

Lily, as Lust how would you portray yourself, among the other house members?

Dissy, as Wrath you do realize you have a pretty boy persona, how would you react to being called a pretty boy?
 
Pride and Greed are lovers...hehe... but Pride is not faithful obviously to Greed. Keep these fun little facts in mind... weee :D
 
(Answering as the char if that's alright)

"This is my house. They don't want to listen, I'm totally fine with giving them a nice lil wake up call. Whose in charge?"
*Grins, shoving a thumb at her own chest*
"Me, baby! I don't think I'm that overbearing. I just ask 'em to listen to my rules, and not do anything too stupid. Of course, if they want to have some dirty fun, I'm not saying no to that... Hell, I encourage it. Just keep in mind who rules the roost around here. Queen mother hen!"
 
Very well LUST... say you are dating someone for a time anyway. You come home from a long day of work (stripping is always tiring), and find that one of the other house members have been caught in bed with your lover. What do you do?

Last question and I'll be sure to make my decision...hehe.
 
"Whose bed are they in? If its mine, I'll be pissed. I'm gonna need at least a little nap before I join 'em." *Laughs* "Share and share alike, right? What's a mortal or two between friends? Other than... fun?"
 
weee.... i go to bed but you are all more than welcome to answer the questions for the part. this promises to be a silly thread to vent and have fun as well as set up a general story on your not so typical people...weee.
 
Envy

Kuuroinochou said:
ENVY- Being that you want what other people have, how do you use your powers on a daily basis? What do you hope to teach people as an envious character?

We want that.

We are never satisfied, it is a simple thing, no matter what we have we want more. Wether this be adoration or wealth or lovers or time, or beauty.

It could be as simple as someone having a nicer business card. This makes us the ultimate salesperson and bargainer. Only Lucifer can make a better deal from someone. We always get what we want.

We use our powers to murder and think nothing of it using what we need to gain what we want. It consumes our being and we must have more. If we need money for example then we take life insurance out on a young man and accidentally murder him at work only to take the spirit of his beneficiary and send the money to any other account. And of course empty both of theirs.

If we want anything that we cannot have we will rip Earth asunder to get it and use or bargain anyone in anyway to get it.

We are not greedy however and our interest tires quickly. Baubles are gotten and lost in matters of moments. Lovers can be passed to whomever and how, It is always the chase we are after.

We teach that it is always wise to be wary what you wish for, because we will always get it.
 
Interesting, so tell me Envy what do you speak of yourself as another person and not just yourself alone?

(IC: )
We speak of ourselves. Not another, but us. And we are us because we want us. We want you not just I, and since we always get what we want we are always us. Envy is never sated and never alone.

(OOC: ) Envy shows complexes and parts of all the other sins, Greed in wanting more than what it has though it will give it back or share, Lust because it holds the same unholy desires for any and all. Wrath because it can be quite spiteful in not getting what it wants.

If Pride is the first Sin, Envy is the last. And the second deadliest.

Envy speaks with the Royal (Imperial) we. Forever referring to itself in the third person cause it has an envy of itself. It want to make itself Envious, and does so. Also Envy is the NEVER alone there is always more than one to be involved in Envy. So even when the character Envy is alone there is someone else Envy wants.

I like this Envy we will now focus on more cast members... anyone else up for the job.

Envy and Lust down... five more sins to go.
 
Pride or Wrath I'm really not very picky. I promise not to post like a million posts everyday :D .
 
wrath

i see you are still searching for someone for the part of wrath. what makes you think you have the insight to decern who is best for this character? a mere woman? don't make me laugh.

if my head were not hurting so badly right now, i'd slap you for making me wait. luckily for you, i need to rest right now.

i'll take your test, if i must. make it soon, though. i have no patience for silly details. remember, i do not take no for an answer and my vengence is swift.
 
OK I know I'm not Kuu. But Wrath is simple. Answer the question. If you want the character Answer in character the Question given.

It's an easy question too. I'm tempted to answer it my way just to deprive people the simple route.

Sloth would take some creativity, But I pased on Wrath becuase while he looked cool, he seemed way too easy. And I passed on Pride because he seemed too powerful, and written in. Envy can have any person s/he wants, and be anything. Not even Lust can say that.

WRATH Well it seems you suffer from high blood pressure and stress, what steps are you taking to minimize your chances for a heart attack; given your history of anger?
 
As stated and what Tenko said... answer the questions given to those parts you wish to play. Remember answer them IN CHARACTER and I'll make my decision from there.

Also there is another person wanting Wrath, so I'd make a good first impression if I were you. Teehee.
 
Pride:

"How could I be the biggest let down since my father when my father is a grand triumph. Have you ever really read about his fall from heaven? I'll shorten the story so that you can understand it human. My father took a third of the angels and attacked heaven to defend you ungrateful monkeys from a creator that wanted your utter destruction." A patronizing grin flashed over Cross's lips as he shook his head. "It really is too bad that your to ignorant to understand that. What would I change about myself?" Chuckles. "You imply that I'm less than perfect with that statement but I'll humor you. I wish I was my had my father's opportunity to make an impact which is of course why I'm here now."

Wrath:
"A history of anger?! You think that I have a history of anger you don't even understand what anger is." Takes a deep breath a red glow gathering around his pupils as his entire frame trembles with barely concealed rage. "I break stuff and occasionally kill annoying fucking interviewers."

I think I'm better at Pride, I'm having a hard time differentiating the personas.
 
To be honest you are a heck of a lot better at Pride. If you want the part then answer this final question...


"So tell me Cross, what plans do you have for us, humans in regards to your father's wishes? World domination, utter annihilation, damnation...etc."
 
(Being prideful and cocky myself I'm good at that type of villian/charachter :D )

"So tell me Cross, what plans do you have for us, humans in regards to your father's wishes? World domination, utter annihilation, damnation...etc."

"World Domination, eternal damnation, utter destruction? What would you do if I told you that my goal is the same as my father's to leave this world to you. It was created by you, against God's wishes my father gave you the inteligence that you needed to run this world." Cross made a sweeping gesture to the world around him. "Think about it, once you had to pray to God to save you from the flu, now you vaccinate. You used beg on bent knee for rain, now you irrigate, now you make rain. I could go on an on but I don't feel the need. Every single advance you have here from your medicine to your cameras, to the clothing wrapped around your beautiful body you owe to an apple my father gave you." He paused slightly glancing upward. "So before I start talking about myself and get you off subject I'll tell you I'm here to complete my father's work and prepare you to inherit the earth."
