Seraph Darkfire
King of the Underworld
Death. It is horrible, but it happens to everyone. Though this story isn't about death, this is about what happens afterwards. The so called 'Life after Death'
When anyone dies, they are sent to the Underworld. Good, Evil, Neutral, everyone ends up here. Now, I know what you are thinking, but it isn't so bad. Society is the basis of all things, living or dead.
Here in the Underworld, you work off your sins, and everyone has them, whether or not they've lived a chaste life. You are lucky if it is just a simple small thing, you work it off for a few years and boom! you get to go to Paradise, where you can either simply enjoy your eternity, or you can choose to be reborn in your world.
Once you are dead, you are dead, but death isn't the end, nor is it the most horrible thing here. Here you can't die...well, not in the traditional sense. You see, the Soul as you know it is a patchwork of every memory you've ever had, whether or not you yourself are aware of that.
Fighting is extremely dangerous here in the Underworld, specifically because you no longer have a physical body. Here, taking damage means you lose memories. A scratch could cause the loss of the memory of what you had for breakfast when you were nine, but more serious injuries can even make you lose the memories of your family.
But these memories aren't gone. Even if you can't remember them specifically, you'll know something is missing. Normally, these memories will eventually return, over the course of many years. However, sometimes they have to be found, or retrieved from those who find them.
Here lies the jobs of the Seven Deadly Sins. An organization of Seven people that track down the lost memories...for a price.
There is no Monetary value in the Underworld. Material objects are simply there for enjoyment. The real value is in favors. Unlike in your life, here, your word is law. If you promise to do something, you must follow that promise. This supersedes even your sins. If you owe someone a favor, even if you've cleared your slate, you will be unable to travel to Paradise until you pay that favor in full.
In most cases, most people will only owe one or two favors. However, the Seven Deadly Sins covet these favors and bind people with contracts. They are not evil beings, but they aren't good either. These seven are called such for a very good reason.
They can never work off their sins.
Pride, Wrath, Sloth, Lust, Greed, Envy, and Gluttony. These seven do not embody their sin, yet the sin is bound to them, unable to be removed like others. Upon death, they were bound to the Underworld forever.
Only the King of the Underworld can remove these sins from them. However, the King never does anything without a price of his own.
"Collect Favors. Collect as many as you possibly can. Once you've reached the right amount, I will tear your sin away"
This is what he told them.
Now they find lost memories to collect favors. Hopefully, one day, they'll gain enough to be set free.
So recently, I've had an idea to use the Seven Deadly Sins (not the manga) but I haven't been able to come up with a good idea until now. I want to see what people think.
I need Seven people, including myself, to roleplay as the Seven. However, that isn't the maximum number. People can join as other characters in the story as well. Obviously there will be demons and humans. But as the Underworld is not bound to one universe, there will be multiple races as well. If this gets enough interest, I'll put everything in the forum.
I'll let people make reservations for spots, however, I'll need to make sure you'll be able to post often and not just drop the rp. At least once every two days. If you are not able to keep roleplaying, or you can't post in time, please give a warning beforehand. Don't just drop the rp and leave your fellow rpers hanging.
Your character does not have to embody their Sin. Sloth doesn't have to be lazy all the time and Wrath angry all the time.
