"The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.”
Side note: This is not meant to be a "religious" sort of roleplay, though one may act it out as being religious.
Frankly, I'm not religious... I like to think of myself as more a spiritual person than religious.
51 AA. For the past fifty years, the world has been in a constant war. Every where one travels, the ground is littered with blood and bodies of the people who have been slain, and the smell of death hangs in the air. They thought they would bring salvation. They thought it would all be for the good of mankind... But they were wrong.
We begin our story here, in present day, before the Awakening. It is modern day, year 2008 BA. Prophecy has foretold of the Awakening in 2008, though the world does not know exactly when. Supposedly, this Awakening is to bring along Fourteen of the strongest, who will purge the world, and ready it for Armegeddon. But they never read the fine print. Our sources have worked hard to gather as much data from 5 Prophetics in the state of New York, hopefully to decipher what will occur.
Entry 1: May 15, 2008
Diary,
The Fourteen have awakened. I fear this might be the last I write in you... This is the end to everything that we live for. My family doesn't believe me when I tell them, but I know. The Fourteen... they are---
[Pages have been torn from the book, as if someone does not want us to learn]...
We will be seeing dark days soon...
Entry 2: May 17, 2008
Diary,
I have seen it. The Awakening of one of the Fourteen. I did not suspect, but they are scattered among the city... I know it. They are all here in New York... They have to be. This one... She was beautiful. She had a glow of golden... No... Light blue, maybe... around her. It was an astounding sight. We will soon be saved...
Entry 3: May 17, 2008
Journal,
They say the Fourteen have awakened, but I have yet to see anything, although I can feel it in my bones, I am skeptical of this. How can one know for sure if it has really happened, when one has not seen it with his own eyes? As much as I believe in what the signs have told me, I would, indeed, like to see one of the Fourteen for myself...
Entry 4: May 17, 2008
Diary,
We will all be saved soon! I knwo it in my old bones that the Fourteen have awakened, and though I have yet to see it for myself, I am excited for what is to come. All these seventy years of my life, ever since I learned of my prophetic gift, I have patiently awaited the coming of this day. Oh, what joy it brings to a widow of my age...
Entry 5: May 18, 2008
We are all doomed.
We are still trying to figure out why it is that some say it is a blessing or a curse, here at HQ, but so far, we haven't gotten very far. Hopefully, time will tell us what the Fourteen truly are...

“We cannot well do without our sins; they are the highway of our virtue.”
The Awakening of the Fourteen.
Seven Deadly Sins. Seven Holy Virtues.
The Fourteen are fourteen eighteen-year-olds, all born on May 15, 1990. Each of them empower one of sins or virtues, and all have a mission. For the sinners... They are trying to tempt those around them to their sin, so as to create chaos on the world. Lucky for them, their job is already halfway through, seeing as the world is mostly corrupted. On the other hand, the virtuous ones are trying to rid people of their sins.
However, they cannot do this to their full extent if they are apart. New York city is a large place. Lucky for them, they all have wings (think stereotypical angel-sized wings); Sins have black wings, Virtues have white; and not only this, but their wings will break through the skin of their back and glow whenever a companion is nearby. Unlucky for them... Frankly, you don't want to have wings popping out of your back in the middle of a crowded side walk... It attracts too much attention... But then again... Que sera sera.
Will the virtues be able to find one another and begin their task before the sins doom the world? And what will happen when the Fourteen finally come face to face?

"I like your game but we have to change the rules."
We always need rules in roleplays. Luckily, mine are very simple. ^^
Of course, we always have to follow both the Standard Gaia and Guild rules, but here are a few of mine, incase people need reminding!
oo1. Please respect your fellow roleplayers. No one likes flamers... It's just not very nice!
oo2. Please don't cyber. It's disgusting. I'm not even going to say take it to the PMs, because that's just... Desperate, frankly. I mean, really people, let's not turn out to be perverts. ^^ Therefore, as we all know, this roleplay must stay at a rating of PG-13, yay!
oo3. Please no godmodding. No one likes auto-hits or undefeatable characters! Be realistic. Take the hit, sometimes ^^ Be a manly man! Hehe... ><
oo4. If you're going to leave this roleplay after you've signed up, please tell me. I hate to be left hanging, wondering where you've gone off to. Oh, and on that note, could you please PM me the character profile that you create, under the title "Sins and Virtues". Thank you!
oo5. Please don't chat speak while roleplaying. I can understand when you'r talking in [[ OOC ]], but not in the roleplay. It's jsut irritating. I mean, come on... Today's society hasn't gotten so far to the point of not being able to spell out words, right? We're all very intelligent folk. Oh, and I understand the occasional grammatical or spelling error (I do it when I'm typing "ing"... like... "walking" usually comes out as "walkign". No idea why... I guess my fingers like the "g" more than the "n"... ><) We all have slip ups ^^ But anyways, be literate! And creative ^^
oo6. I am a very nice person in general, but disobey one of my rules, and I might just go crazy if you catch my on the wrong day. Hence, I will apologize before hand for my mood-swings. No, but honestly... Why would you want to go and disobey the rules anyways? Oh, and on that note, put some sort of emoticon in the PM you send me, so I know you read the rules this far AND have been paying attention! Yay!
oo7. Have fun!

"All puppets have strings attached.".LUST.
I am a [Sinner]
And I empower [Lust]
See this name tag? [Serena Ambrosine]
But sometimes people call me [Sa, Rina]
You might not realize it, but I am a [Female]
I have powers to rule the world. [I can manipulate people into lusting after me or anyone that I choose, however, I have to be touching them in some sort of intimate way, whether it be their hand, or their face... Oh, and it's all in the eyes.
Secondly, I have the power to manipulate raw energy. I like to call it "Reaching". In doing this, I gather raw energy into my body from living things around me, and I create bright golden orbs, which I can fire at people. However, I do not often do this, and when I do, I have to be very careful not to overdraw, or I could kill myself.
I have the power to imitate a person's voice, man, woman, or child; however, I must hear them speak for at least a minute in order to do it well. I don't do this often unless I'm feeling mischievious.]
And I have the items to help me. [I carry a silver pistol with my own custom made ammonition; The bullets have broken hearts on them. Also, I have very sharp, red heart-shaped earrings that I sometimes use as blades in close combat.]
I like to be myself... [Frankly, I'm a very lovable sort a person. People think I'm gorgeous, and I believe them, flaunting it when I can. I also love to flirt with people. A little teasing never hurt anyone. Over the years, I've become an expert at it. I never give it up, however, but rather, tease just for the fun of it all. Sometimes I feel as if I'm very fluttering, and wish that I could actually have a love that I can stick to... But just as soon as that thought comes up, I am off flirting once more. I am a very touchy-feely sort of person, and love to be around people I can fool around with, both emotionally and physically, no matter the gender.]
My story will fascinate you. [I never had a terrible life. My parents were always around, and they loved me very much... Though, I did get that strange feeling that my daddy loved me more than he probably should have. And that feeling was proven a year ago, when I was raped by my father.
Feeling uncomfortable in my house, I moved out and got a job as a waitress at this fancy restraunt in the middle of the city during the day. At night, I sometimes work at this club, helping out the bartender, who happens to be one of my very good friends.
In general, however, up until my recent birthday, a lot of people liked me... Some people called me a slut, but I don't think I was at all... I was just loved... Or rather, lusted for. I had a lot of different boyfriends, and even a few girlfriends here and there. All in all, I've taken a liking to being loved in such a way. When I turned eighteen, however, I became strangely flirtatious. I have perfected the way in which to turn a person on just by looking at them, and I have fun doing it.]
Take a look. There's more to me than you think. [Though I may seem materialistic and fake, I do love art. Photography, music, writing, poetry... All the above, basically. Also, I smoke sometimes... Not a lot though, as it seems to be a turn off for some people.]
I am a mere puppet. Meet my master, [x x _ m o n e t _ x x].Wrath
I am a [Sinner]
And I empower [Wrath]
See this name tag? [Quinton Bassett]
But sometimes people call me [Quinty, Quint, tonton.]
You might not realize it, but I am a [Male]
I have powers to rule the world. [ Quint is able to manipulate people to be angry, but it's limited. He has to look into their eyes for a few seconds, and they would have to look back, or else it wouldn't work. This comes in handy sometimes. He is also able to control the element of water, but doesn't use it all that much. He is also able to change his appearance, but it is also very limited. It would only be changing hair color or eyes, but he rarely ever does this. ]
And I have the items to help me. [Tonton always has a small handgun with him, but he only uses it when he has to. Sometimes he only puts one bullet in, because he knows of his anger. He doesn't want to go around killing people because of his anger, but sometimes he thinks different. He also wears a barbed wire bracelet[as seen in the photo] that he is able to take off and use as some sort of whip. ]
I like to be myself... [Quinty is quite the outgoing person. When you first meet him, he wouldn't seem at all to be wrathful. Once you say the tiniest thing that he doesn't like, he'll for sure let you know. He gets outraged very easily, and shouts a lot of the time as well. When he isn't angry, he can be very nice, but it all depends on who he's talking to. He can also be quite the gentlemen, and is almost always seen dressing very classy, but with his own style added. He is also very manipulative and sadistic when he wants to be. He loves to watch horror movies, but never alone. He just finds it interesting to be with people, and he thinks it's even better if they're horrified. ]
My story will fascinate you. [Quinton grew up with his mother inside of a small appartment. He rarely saw his father because of the divorce between his mother and him, but he didn't really mind. He was a very outgoing kid, and loved to be around people. He would always laugh and never get angry. People around him seemed to be somewhat angry though, and he didn't really put much thought into it. His mother was always impressed with him, but she wasn't the same around him. As he got older, he changed little by little, as everyone does. When he was sixteen, he started to smoke, and still keeps that habit. He was rarely at home now, and stayed over at a friends house every other night. He was still the outgoing and kind child, but he didn't like to be at home because he just thought it was so quiet. On his eighteenth birthday, he changed a lot. Becoming increasingly angry, he left the appartment he lived in, and found a small two room appartment that he could afford with the money he was making off of his work. He hasn't talked to his mother since. ]
Take a look. There's more to me than you think. [As said before, Quinty is a smoker, and he can't go a day without having one. He's addicted, you could say. He also has some piercings. Three on each ear, and one on his eyebrow. He plans not to get anymore, because he doesn't want to completely ruin his image.]
I am a mere puppet. Meet my master, [. .B.l.a.c.k.R.o.s.e. .].Vanity.
I am a Sinner
And I empower Vanity
See this name tag? Aldon Archaeus Connelly
But sometimes people call me Aldy
You might not realize it, but I am a Male
I have powers to rule the world. For the longest time I just thought it was something I was just born with. Apparently I have the ability to make other people humble themselves before me and treat me with better respect. This usually works well when I'm trying to buy something, as the shop owner will give me discounts. This also usually ables me to see very important people because I appear more important than I am. I also have the latent ability to cause any female become infatuated with me. you know, the kind of stuff that makes them want to have a poster of me on their wall.I also have manipulation over fire,strangely enough. I need a live source to use it though.
And I have the items to help me. Ah my trusty weapons. I don't go anywhere without the two daggers I have hidden under each sleeve of my coat. Do I NEED anything else? Who would want to hurt ME?
I like to be myself... I've been told that I don't play well with others. It seems that because I tell people the truth and are honest about everything, that makes me a nasty individual. Well I can't help that you look fat in that dress or that I am more attractive than your boy toy. I just call it as I see it. And please, don't be angry just because I'm far more intelligent than you.
My story will fascinate you. Well I grew up in London. A city where I was far more attractive than any other person in the entire population. I was often picked last in gym class for my attitude, not my abilities. I didn't get along well with my family. Maybe it was my strange addiction to lighters and matches. Perhaps it was the fact that there was a new female that had seen me walking down the halls in school showing up at my doorstop, wanting to see me. I Swear, I didn't know that girl. When I hit 16, I had grades good enough to graduate high school so I did. Then I packed my bags and left. I'd always wanted to go to New York City. Alas, it was the same there as it was back home. Girls hounding me left and right. People far less attractive than yours truly. I decided to work somewhere I knew they wouldn't bother me. The Library. At least then I could get some reading.
This worked for about two years. then I realized my attitude wasn't meeting with such bad results. I could get into any night club I wanted. I was able to get discounts at the local grocery or other shop I frequented. So I decided to practice this. It's become more of an art than anything now. I also learned how to switch off that problematic "aura of schoolgirl luring" I had going. Well, sort of. That's not really something you can control.
The only problem I have now is the fact I had a hard time cooking anything because from time to time, the stove's flame will attack me. Something else I need to practice I suppose....
Take a look. There's more to me than you think.I don't have any vices really. I got my tongue pierced when I was 14 to spite my parents. Then I got a tattoo on my back that was a pair of black feathered wings. I rather like that addition to my body. Other than that, nothing. Unless you count keeping a comb and a small mirror with me at all times a vice?
I am a mere puppet. Meet my master, The Revenant Hero.Patience. I am [Divine]
And I empower [Patience]
See this name tag? [Kiara Longston]
But sometimes people call me [Kiki or Kiwi]
You might not realize it, but I am a [Female]
I have powers to rule the world. [I am able to calm down any situation where things get rough. I can tell when people are ready to snap or hurt someone and I am able to control those feelings of impatience and hatred.]
And I have the items to help me. [Although I am passive and do not like fighting, I carry around a dark blue pistol, something custom made and quite useful]
I like to be myself... [I consider myself a bit to forgiving. I never get mad and I don't have a temper. I'm quite peaceful and calm, and very sweet. You will never find me loitering around doing nothing, considering I'm quite active mentally and physically. I seem to be very patient and I make everyone around me the same. I'm selfless and will jump in front of a bullet if it meant saving the life of a sinner.]
My story will fascinate you. [I grew up as a sweet and quiet girl. Despite this, I grew to become quite popular, and I made a lot of friends. But school is always a hastle. It always seemed that when I was around, people never fought, and the atmosphere was quite peaceful. I can't say I enjoyed that much. My parents only fought when I was asleep, which my friends considered normal. But I didn't. When they divorced, I tried to help. And I did. Somehow, I got them to understand each other and to forget the bad things. When I turned eighteen, I realized it was me giving everybody the passiveness and paitence I had. I began to use this to help the world around me. It's still a struggle, but I've managed.
Take a look. There's more to me than you think. [I am quite the animal lover. I don't own any pets, but cats seem to be attracted to me.]
I am a mere puppet. Meet my master, [acebirchy]

[[ 'ooc First off, although I would love to wait for all the spots to be filled, I've done it before, and the roleplay dies before it can even get off the ground.
Secondly, the setting of the story is in New York city, modern day, mainly sticking to Brooklyn, Queens, and maybe even Manhattan. However, I would like for them all to meet sooner or later. Also, it's the morning of the Fourteen's birthdays, so, yeah ^^
Anything else, PM me and I would love to tell you. Until then, have fun! ]]
Welcome to the gates of Heaven, Hell, and all that lies in between.
Opening Post
Serena pushed her hair behind her ear, sitting up in bed. Today was her 18th birthday, and she definitely wouldn't spend it indoors. Perhaps she would travel over to Manhattan that morning... It was always interesting in that part of the state, and living in Brooklyn always gotto be a bit boring at times... The same streets, the same people moving back and forth. She was just happy that she was finished with school and could just relax for the rest of the summer...
Getting out of bed, her feet hit the cool, hardwood floors of the apartment, and she stretched a moment before grabbing her towel and heading off to the shower. About two hours later, she was ready to leave, and she grabbed her keys, figuring she would take the bus over there... It was always cheap. The good thing about living in the midst of the three districts, Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan... was that they were all very accessibly easy to get to. Glacing at herself in the mirror, she nodded.
She was dawning a pair of tight-legged, antique washed pants, along with a pair of black slip-ons that she had bought from England a year ago. Her top was a white cami, a Susan B wool sweater over it. She didn't feel like going all out. Picking up her cell, she dialed her friend's number. "Hey, wanna meet up? I'm thinking of going into Manhattan today," she said with a nod of her head, pickign up her apartment key and exiting, closing the door behind her.

Long ripples of mocha brown hair fell down in long ripples as Kiwi slipped out of bed. Her silk nightgown fell down over tanned knees, stopping just below them. The carpet beneath her feet was plush and comfortable to walk on. The lights on her dresser light up, illuminating her dark room. It had the feeling of some famous movie star's dressing room, with red carpet and white furniture. Her dresser held a large circular mirror surrounded by lights, and a plush red chair sat in front of it. Varities of make-up, from Cover Girl to Lor'eal (sp?), adorned the dresser.
She stepped across her room and opened the door to her walk-in closet. Although today was her eighteenth birthday and she was now considered an adult, Kiwi loved living her parents and still did. She sifted through the dresses and skirts and jeans that were either gifts or her own purchases. She finally decided on something fairly simple, a light blue dress with green lining. She slipped out of her nightgown and into the dress, the cloth falling gently over her curvy body. It stopped just below her knees, leaving tanned legs revealed.
"Good morning mother." Kiwi's voice was soft and melodic, her bright smile lighting up her mother's face.
"Why hello Kiara," replied her mother, a lady with long, blonde hair.
