HOW SINS & VIRTUES WORK

[carmuhh!]

SEVEN DEADLY SINS !
lust . wrath . envy . pride . gluttony . sloth . greed

- One of the parents of the current carrier possessed the sin previously
- All sins attach themselves to their host's body, making it impossible to be removed by any physical force excluding death
- At the birth of any of their children, the sin wrenches itself from the parent's body and attaches to the baby, this process is often painful for the parent, the baby feels nothing
- Many children are given an amulet of some sort to ward off the effects of the sin until they reach the age of 10; if not, the child will take on a violent temper and sometimes die due to the exertion and energy the sin uses
- If the current host fails to have children by the age of 40, the sin will make the host so sick that he/she will die and then the sin will attach to the closest qualified person within a one-mile radius
- If / once suppressed, the sin's powers (such as elevated strength, etc) are suppressed as well
- If killed, the sin goes to whomever did the killing if that person is of the same race (and pure-blooded); if not, the sin remains dormant until a pure-blooded member of the same race comes within a one-mile radius of the corpse

Please keep in mind that the following are all generalizations, they are NOT requirements, just how the hosts generally act or behave.

Lust - the host has an insatiable sex drive; often appears alluring to the opposite sex
Wrath - the host often goes through random violent stages; has a short-temper, should not be tested
Envy - the host cannot help but want what others possess, regardless of relationship with said person; sometimes goes to great measures to possess this thing
Pride - the host often patronizes others; looks are an important part of this person's life; arrogance is a prominent personality trait
Gluttony - the host enjoys indulging in various things; eating out and spending money are two things that he/she thinks very little about and does regularly
Sloth - the host would be likely to skip out on group activities if he/she thought that they involved too much work; enjoys sitting at home watching movies or playing video games as opposed to outdoor activities
Greed - the host often wants the best and the most of everything; likely to try and steal others' girl/boyfriends away from them

SEVEN HOLY VIRTUES !
chastity . temperance . charity . diligence . patience . kindness . humility

- One of the parents of the current carrier possessed the virtue previously
- All virtues attach themselves to their host's body, making it impossible to be removed by any physical force excluding death
- At the birth of any of their children, the virtue detaches itself from the parent's body and attaches to the baby, this painless and the adult often feels as though a huge burden has been lifted from their shoulders
- Most babies possessing virtues are calm and collected as children, are far from your 'cry all night long' babies
- If the current host fails to have children by the age of 40, the virtue dettach itself from its current host and attach itself to the person closest (emotionally) to the host
- If / once suppressed, the virtue's powers (such as elevated strength, etc) are suppressed as well
- If the host dies, the virtue remains in the corpse until a funeral is held and then it attaches to the first qualified family member to attend the wake

Please keep in mind that the following are all generalizations, they are NOT requirements, just how the hosts generally act or behave.

Chastity - sexual behaviour acceptable to ethical norms; the host can be described as a 'prude'; believes in abstinence
Temperance - the practice of moderation; the host knows when enough is enough; doesn't overindulge
Charity - unlimited loving toward all others; the host could often be seen volunteering; has the nagging need to help others before thinking of his or herself
Diligence - careful nature in one's work ethic; the host can almost always be found working on something, never is he/she wasting time doing senseless things; can be a bit of a workaholic
Patience - state of endurance under difficult circumstances; the host can calm those who are antsy around him/her; often is a great person to tell your stories he/she will always listen
Kindness - being nice to others; the host is often very likable; he/she generally has a lot of friends and not so many enemies
Humility - defining characteristic of an unpretentious and modest person; the host generally doesn't appreciate being catered to and always does things for his or herself; could often be seen tutoring those who are struggling
