Seeking help in an RP ( )

Postby JadeTrickster on Sun Aug 03, 2008 11:55 am

I am creating my own RP, and it involves eight character flaws. After much deliberation I've come up with seven, the eighth one just won't come to me. So far I have rage, arrogance, hatred, cruelty, impatience, hunger, and indifference. A bit of background info that might help get some creative juices flowing:
It takes place in a Sci-fi Fantasy setting. Eight people are born as an antithesis to eight cursed beings. These cursed beings reincarnate every eighty million years, and eight chosen always manifest to fight them. This time though, the cursed beings have shared their curses with the chosen. Now, each of the eight has a character flaw that represents the curse. The chosen must fight at a great disadvantage, because they are just as cursed as the eight.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, I've thought up a few:

Selfishness
Incompetence
Stupidity? lol
Fearfulness/Timidity/Cowardice
Stubbornness
Pessimism
Slothfulness

That's all I can think of ATM
Hope it helps. :D

It does thank you! :D
Now I can start on the rich meaty body of my roleplay! I decided to go with incompetence, since I'd already eliminated selfishness, fearfulness, stubbornness, and slothfulness before they were suggested. Pessimism just didn't seem like enough of a hindrance for a potential hero, so I didn't go with that. Stupidity seemed like far too sadistic a trick to play on a potential hero, so I decided on incompetence. It sort of won by default if you think about it, so don't.

Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride.

The seven deadly sins. Might have fun playing around with those.
