"Sloth is defined as spiritual or emotional apathy, neglecting what God has spoken, and being physically and emotionally inactive. Acedia is a Latin word, from Greek ἁκηδείᾱ, meaning "Carelessness".
Sloth can also indicate a wasting due to lack of use, concerning a person, place, thing, skill, or intangible ideal that would require maintenance, refinement, or support to continue to exist."

Name: Belphegor
Domain: Sloth
Gender: Male
Jewel: Totally up to the artist! Agate maybe?
Appearance: Also up to the artist! Technically I just want the influence. XD;
Some thoughts though: Overall his appearance would be rather unkempt and messy, at times even downright filthy, telltale of obvious self-neglect. After all, why go through the hassle to take a shower, or change your clothes? He might look too skinny, because he has a tendency to forget about food in favor of drugs - they tone out that nagging, annoying hunger just nicely. Or, he might be quite fat, due to the lack of moving about.
He prefers comfortable clothes, which might be anything from pajamas, caftans, or a dressing gown. Or towels or bed sheets. Like he cares. People would probably think him alternatively either a bum, a hippie, or a junkie. If he had wings, they'd probably be stunted from disuse. Also, he asks if he could possibly come with a magic carpet to fly about, or possibly a floating Harkonnen Chair, kthx.
Possible inspirations: Slugs? The Wonderland caterpillar? Cthulhu? Jabba the Hut? =D
Personality: Very ... laid back, mildly put. Lazy, apathetic, listless, passive. Though he is one of Destruction's "Seven", he's neutral most of the times because he dislikes to take sides. It would probably require his 'siblings' - like Greed, Lust, Envy and the like - to actually haul him into action. Before the Fading he likely would have had a host of servants and followers to take care of him - or not, due to his immediate influence. XD; It's easy to see why he would have faded.
He likes to lounge, to sit back and watch events unfold while sharing a joint with you. Or a smoke from a hookah, or a bottle of booze.
Likes: Alcohol and drugs. Sex ... not so much, because, oh god, the exercise! But he likes fast food and pizza delivery. Technology and servants, because they make life so much easier. Tinted glasses, orange is best. Sleeping, dozing, resting. Procrastination is goooood ... Comfortable furniture. Watching - be it TV, the explosion of a nuclear power plant, lava lamps, or spinning laundry. He likes those funky mushrooms too.
Dislikes: Physical exercise, having to pay attention. Energy drinks, WTF are those for? The needs of a human body.
Destruction: The effects of his influence are creeping, stealthy. He's with the lazy, the neglectful, the daydreamers that never bother to make their dreams come true. The drug addicts, the slackers, the easily distracted. He likes to hang out with the maintenance guys specifically, those employed at nuclear power plants or airports. He likes those security guys too. He's fond of collecting all those screws, bolts and nuts that no one's ever missing until it's too late.
