Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Truly sorry you were hot," Gavril says, but it's unclear whether he's being sarcastic. "Now," he suddenly says, clasping his hands together in a let's-get-busy kind of way. "There are two things we can do. We can fight, and by that I mean I beat you with my scythe and then send you back to Hell, or you can cooperate with my plans," he says, looking at both of them in turn.

Cestmir nods as Alarica talks. She had felt the same herself, and thought she might have gone crazy if she had to spend another day in that place. When Gavril begins talking, she freezes, though her hand tightens on the hilt of her sword. She gives Alarica a questioning glance; she doesn't ever want to be in Hell again, but perhaps Gavril is bluffing. Either way, though Cestmir was more practical, Alarica was definitely the thinker of the two, so she waits for her friend to respond.

Cestmir passes Alarica a surprised glance before once again appearing passive. She didn't think that Alarica could come to a decision this quickly. For some reason, also, that quick decision seemed to take several months, though Cestmir couldn't see how they could possibly be standing here that long. "I guess I will join you too," she growls, removing her hand from her sword as a gesture of her sincerity. She still doesn't like Gavril, but she wouldn't be able to stand being against Alarica. Then she wouldn't have any friends.

Gavril smiles slightly, genuinely pleased that they have accepted the 'easy way'. "It's not anything you won't like," he assures them. "You see, though both of you were willing to come back under my rule, the rest of the sins were not. They are wreaking havoc across the land, and I believe they are also attempting to ban together to destroy me. I am asking you to turn on them, to rove the land and track down your fellow sins. You will capture them and bring them to me. I will give you powers beyond theirs, but this task will still be very difficult."

"Well, for that compliment, you can go first," Gavril says, turning to Alarica with a flourish. "Sin, I release you from your evil. Go now and repent for your soul," Gavril intones, and Alarica is suddenly bathed in a red light, in which she transforms from Sloth to Diligence.

Cestmir watches with wide eyes, even taking a step back nervously, though she would never admit it. The sight of her once fellow-sin turning into a virtue strangely makes Cestmir hungry.

{Le GASP!!! *falls over in shock*}

Cestmir's mouth falls open in amazement. Alarica looks totally different, yet exactly the same. Gavril grins at Cestmir, then turns back to Alarica. "Stand, Diligence. You need not bow. Your only task now is to devote yourself to the paths of goodness." Then Gavril flicks his eyes to the left-over sin, causing Cestmir to jump. She is feeling rather jumpy, wondering what is going to happen to her powers when she is turned into a virtue. "Are you ready, Gluttony?" Gavril asks. "Wait!" Cestmir says, looking past him at Alarica. "How is it? Is it worth it?" Cestmir asks her nervously.

"Okay, I'm ready," Cestmir says, flinching as Gavril raises his scythe, repeating the words so that a red glow now surrounds Cestmir. The light seems to go inside her, so that every part of her feels strange and tingly. Then as soon as it had come, it is gone, and Cestmir is left staring at her hands. "I'm....not hungry..." she says in wonder, then bows in front of Gavril like Alarica had.

"Now, Diligence and Temperance, go track down the other Noble Demons, and your sins will be atoned," Gavril says to them. Cestmir looks blankly around at Alarica before nodding to Gavril subserviently.

{What virtues do each of the sins turn into? I'm trying to decide who I want to be and I'm having issues trying to decide. mad }

Name: Venyrie, or Ven for short

Race: Noble Demon

Age: Looks about 25

Sex: Male

SIN: Envy

Description: Envy is a bit of a whiner and antisocial due to the fact that he think everyone has better "toys" than he does and everytime he mentions it, one of the other Noble Demons would perform some sort of physical abuse to him. He tends to mutter under his breath often and is not very trusting of people, though he does have the ability to get people to trust him if it serves his needs. He is rather angry at the Demon Lord for locking him up, bcause after the first 1000 times or so of coveting all the other demon's powers, there wasn't much left to do. In general, he amuses himself by watching other people, so he stayed (mostly) sane by watching all the other Noble demons interact.

Appearance: Based on this character Basically like this, only the clothes are interchangeable for other nice/gaudy clothes that don't make him look rich, only kinda make him stand out.

Powers: He has the ability to copy his opponents powers for a limited amount of time and has the ability of telekinesis, but instead of focusing his mind to bring it to him, he thinks about how much he wants the item and it will zoom right over to him. His final power is the power of disorientation, in which he begins to complain about everything and all the complaints begin to overlap, resulting in a cacophany of sound that could actually be considered painful.

Weapons: A whip sword and an assortment of small weapons

Monster form: Ven's monster form consists of him growing to about 7-8 feet and sprouting 4 extra arms, resulting in 6 arms total. Normally, he can obtain only one power at a time, but in his monster form, he can take on up to 6 different powers, one for each arm. He also has spikes that erupt down his back from each vertebrae, along with claws on his feet, which, in monster form, look like chameleon's feet and allow him to climb things rather easily.
