Okay A little back-up information on this story first: They might think they live like people in the middle ages and olden times but they really live how we do. But a lot of their stuff is re-made and what not. Like an I-pod would be 'an ancient toy' or a song from our days would be something 'the survivors saved' You know We've only had a few world wars right? Well this is after the 10th world war, when supposedly the world started over, The world just went a few hundred years into the past that's all. When you first join have your character somewhere around 5-10 the beginning is just a flash-back type thing, we will role-play with the kids for about three days rp time to when the first Angel attack on the town is. Then they'll all black out or fall asleep and we'll jump ahead a few years to where they're young adults or teens. Thank-you for your time, and your patients in reading this. 1800 N.E. (New Earth) Calimire Town, Nervana. An old woman sat in front of an orange-red glowing fire, her blue eyes glazed over with a milky film, meaning she was blind. Children who were in tattered clothing sat around her, seven of the little crowd stood out. As the children sat watching the woman bring her shawl close about her and look toward the warmth of the fire she said, "Today my children, I will tell a prophecy meant to save our falling race. After the tenth world war, our world started over... and now, we live as our great great ancestors did... with no technology. We live in what the people of the old world would call 'medieval times..'" she paused and a child spoke up, "Granny how is this a prophecy?"
"Sorry my dear child, I was thinking of something the elders would like to hear... I haven't been around you young people in what seems eternity..." The old woman paused and looked out into the darkness, "I'll tell you a story, that is a prophecy in a way my children..." she murmured softly soaking up the warmth of the fire. "A very old tale..." she said, the children listened intently, this old woman they referred to as 'Granny' was one of the older elders in their town of humans, and occasionally she came down from the Great Hall to tell the children stories, tonight was one of those nights. "I'll tell you a tale of the Angels who have come down from heaven..." she whispered now.
"Go on Granny! this should be good!" one of the boy's called out.
"Envy. Greed. Pride. Lust. Anger. Sloth. Gluttony.
The seven deadly sins, the sins that drive all mortals to their early demise. The sins, which will save our world. God created man who can get hurt and die, he created the heaves, to which their spirits go in the after life... and God himself created the perfect beings we call Angels. Mortals, man, God’s children, have Angels watching after them, making sure they don’t fall to their death’s earlier than the fates allow. Angels the workers of God, the beings which were made to protect that which is held most dear to god, his daughters and sons… His children.
Those seven sins are what brought the downfall of peace in the heaves, Those sins which God thought only mortal man possessed, but he who is thy creator seen as all powerful and mighty made a mistake which cannot be overseen. He made angels part human, part mortal, meaning they could commit sin, they could and they would. Those mortal beings who lived no longer that a century were held more dear to God than the Angels? Who lived past the human race! Who lived longer!
Why should such imperfection be held higher in favor? Why shouldn’t Angel race rule the earth? Rule the world…?
God overlooked his mistake in horrified awe, as the Angels started their rebellion, As they stopped working as God’s toys and took charge of their own lives, overlooking God’s tyranny and practically taking over the throne! Wasn’t heaven supposed to be a democracy? Wasn’t is supposed to be a peaceful place?
Not anymore, not any longer.
Word has it that God in his haste to save the ones he loved, sent the seven sins to posses seven different children whose fate it was to meet. Those sins gave the children seven separate and unusual powers, things that made them distinctive from most of us normal mortal beings…. But the question still stands, will these seven children stay together and choose the path of good and peace, or travel down the path of darkness and destruction?
Angel have many an allies my friends, while humans? We have none."

"Granny what powers do the sins hold? are they all really of the human race?" a girl asked as the woman had just opened her mouth to start talking, a murmur of 'shh!' shot up in the crowd of children as the old woman smiled, "Lacy my dear, I'm getting there." she said,
"I'm sorry for talking out of turn Granny..." the child was shy,
"It's quite fine my dear. Just be careful to whom you talk out of turn with." The woman known as Granny smiled and continued on with her story, "Envy, the child possessed by envy was a fascinating one, the child could watch anyone use a power, do one thing, and copy it perfectly without fail. Then use it whenever he or she liked. For instance if the child watched and Angel use energy to make a weapon, he could copy that and use it his or her whole life. Envy had its own talent’s such as power over nature as well as the four basic elements as you will soon see all have the power to control. An elf, yes, I neglected to mention this, Envy is an elf cross breed, half fairy. Therefore, the child is skilled in the arts of magic.
Greed, ah greed, the female everyone avoids. Greed’s special power is painful to her… in a sense. This child had a hard life before her, but you will learn about her past when she comes into play. My friends I have met Greed, and I have caused her much pain. The Anima girl, her power is just what her sin is, anyone she touches… she feels their pain. Their life long pain! Then she can use that pain against her enemies. She can transfer the pain she experienced to her enemies by a simple touch, or a spell. This girl avoids people, and dose what she wants, when she wants. She dresses how she wants to, and can be seen in the back of class at school farthest away from everyone else. Greed is also able to control nature, but more… the natural forces. Such as weather, and the four basic elements air, earth, fire, and water. But her best powers is weather and her power pain, she is skilled in the basic element of air too. She rarely uses her elemental powers, although she plays with her fire power often… she never uses it in battle. Greed is a mix of things, although she is the one who is nonhuman, but most like a human. Her story will unfold in this adventure, so I will let her show you what her background and races are.
Pride, I bet you can guess what is coming. Which animal has pride, and lives in a pride… A lion. Pride is a shape-shifter of sorts; Pride can turn into a lion in a fight to over-power an enemy. Pride is very smart and sharp, the child possessed by Pride has the power to control all four elements Pride is best at speaking with animals, in their own languages, surprisingly. Pride can intimidate almost anyone by the air of leadership around his or her self. Pride is of the sub-species of humans, a true shape-shifter, the only shape-shifter of the bunch. Pride is an interesting child from what I’ve been told… but sadly I’ve only met Greed, therefore I know a lot about Greed but very little of the other six.
Lust, the seductive one. The child possessed by Lust pulls enemies in with its sexy good looks, and is something like a vampire in its ways. Lust can kill someone with the kiss of death, or lust can have a bitter bite… Lust has an extra power, control over ice. Lust is called the ice princess… Cold hearted in some ways. Only thinking of its self and its pleasure. Lust has power over the four elements and is one of the best at having total control when using the elements from spells to just silent control by mind. I will warn you, watch you back around Lust. Lust is, in reality if you take the time to believe my words, a vampire. The only vampire out of the seven.
Sloth, the slowest on our mortal plains, but the fastest in the plain of dreams. With a wave of Sloth’s hand Sloth can put anyone to sleep and invade the person’s dream. That is where sloth fights, in dreams, destroying from inside out. Destroying the mind. Sloth can control the dream that he or she invades to put things to his or her advantage. I’ve been told Lust is good friends with Sloth, but I’m not sure if this is true. For I’m not sure if all seven have even been born into our world yet. Although I am sure Greed has, as I’ve said once before I’ve met Greed.
Anger is a master sorcerer. Maybe the only one, skilled beyond human bounds in the art of magic, but Anger weakens as they use their magic more freely, Anger cannot rely on magic unless Anger is in a fight for every use Anger weakens and comes closer to death. Anger has two special powers other than the four basic elements. Darkness, and the power to find another human host while keeping the memories from the original child Anger possessed. In other words, we call this ‘soul skipping’ switching souls with a person who was bound to die soon and just bringing death to that person early and painlessly when the souls are switched.
Gluttony has a sibling, a twin, who is possessed by Anger. The only two siblings in this story of mine… Gluttony has all the same powers as Anger, minus soul skipping. A strange child this one is too, for although Gluttony’s sibling is of magical blood… Gluttony its self is not. A mere human being like us, these other creatures who are possessed by sins, they are tainted with human blood somewhere along their bloodline my dears, but they claim to be full blooded this or half blooded that… therefore none are shunned from this city if they so choose to come. As you all very well know, because we here have a diversity of beings… all sub-species of humans my children.
And with this, I am done with the legend, it is up to you to decide if it is real..." The old woman smiled and with a wave of her hand the fire was put out, "Go home and finish your chores, I must return to the Great Hall to speak with the others..." she said rising from the large boulder she had been sitting on, "God speed to you all, quickly go home before the Angels come."
All the children scattered, scrambling to their feet and running home. All but one. A girl, of about a decade. Ten years. Greed.
"Oh Granny..." the girl whispered sadly.

Greed
After a while of sitting and looking at the place where the fire was Bridget stood up and pulled her bag over her head, "Why must Granny insist on trying to make things better? It's not like the end of the world would come if I got hurt." she mumbled while looking into the shadows of the park surrounding her. Bridget walked down the streets, heading for her house, or rather her uncle and aunts house.
Bridget LeAnn Anima, that was her name. Today Bridget didn't have homework to do, but she did have things to catch p on at home. Like training with her secret powers... something she did out in the forest at night. Although she wasn't sure if she would go out to train tonight.
"Alice I'm home. Derek, I'm home..." She said boredly into the hallway
"Bridget could you help me cook dinner?" Her Aunt Alice asked hearing the girl come in the door, "Derek would be happy, he says your great at cooking."
"Well that's your problem not mine. learn how to cook or something. I cook for myself not for you two... You two end up eating what's left over when I cook here anyway so I don't really see the point in cooking when I want to eat my leftovers for lunch at school and you two steal them." she argued rolling her eyes as she entered the kitchen, "Derek can ground me for a month if he wants. You two still aren't my parents." Alice froze, Bridget hit a hard topic.
"I'm going to my room before you explode on me. Good night." Bridget said walking away while tossing her bag onto the couch when she passed the living room. She turned left and the right in a hall to get to her room and slammed the door shut. Bridget took her I-pod out and clicked it onto a random song, which turned out to be a really old one that she liked. One that the survivors of the tenth war saved and copied for others. Bridget softly sang along with the song, "There's got to be more to life than just what I can see, I believe, I believe...." she had the I-pod on full blast so she didn't have to use the headphones and laid down on her bed.
"Really, they believed in higher powers back then too? they don't teach us these things in school... Music can be educational after all!" Bridget said smiling and right then her Uncle came in, "Your talking about your parents again girl? Your grounded for a week."
"Fine but can I go outside at night to explore the forest?" she asked, Derek didn't know the meaning of 'grounded' fully so she could always get away with silly things like this... "I guess. but be back before ten o'clock." Derek said and Bridget nodded, "I'll be back before then." she said getting up and grabbing a coat off of her chair as her Uncle left the room. "Stupid" she muttered closing the door and packing a bag to take with her. She was sick of this house and it's restrains on her powers and everything.
A few minutes later she had her backpack on one shoulder and her messenger bag on the other and was out the back door, unnoticed by her Uncle or Aunt. "I could make those fools think I've gone and died, but I won't be that mean... I'll just go and hide out for a week, they don't pay attention to where I hang out." she said smirking as she walked down the street glaring daggers at the sidewalk. "I have money, music, a lap-top with wireless Internet, and clothes. What more could I ask for? And why should I even go back?" She asked herself as she sat down at a bench, in the park where she had started a whole hour ago.

Envy
After hearing Granny's story, she left as quickly as possible. She knew that her parents would be furious with her if she stayed out to long. She knew they would be extremely angry at her.
She crept inside her home, hoping not to let anyone know she was there, but they were waiting for her in the main room. They saw her walk in, "Where have you been?" Her father marched up at her, and grabbed her arm. He shook her violently, hurting her. She tried to pull away, but couldn't, "Let me go!" She finally managed and fell on the ground. "Never speak to me like that you little worm. Your sister would have never done this. She was always better than you, it would be better if you two would just trade places." He walked in to his room, and slammed the door shut. Her mother just sat on the coach, and kept reading a book. "Dalilah was always better at everything you know, but I guess you can't even do what she does. Go to your room, Dahlia, and wait for your father." Dahlia slowly got up, their bitter words always stung her. Especialy when they compare her.
She layed down on her bed, and waited for her father. He would always have a word with her after she did something wrong. It usually involved a belt, or a cane, depending on what mood he was in, she expected the cane today. It was the anniversary of her sister's death. She was five years old then, and they were a happy family. Although her parents did favor Dalilah, they were still happy. She was better at everything, and sometimes Dahlia hated her for it, at times she wished she could dissapear. Then one day there was an accident, and her sister gave up her life to save Dahlia. Her parents hated her because of it, and they always blamed her for anything she didn't do. Dahlia got up, and looked in the mirror. Her ten year old self became sad and alone. Her black hair was bleak, and her pale blue eyes were always looking sad. Back then she was bright and happy, but now...she felt like what was the point. She had short hair that showed her ears. Ever since she could remember they were slightly pointed, and her parents also hated that about her, they called her a freak at times.
He finally stormed in the room, and she was right about the cane. "why must you always be in the way, why can't you just dissapear!" he swung his cane at her, and she dodged it, tripping, and falling to the floor. He raised it, and swung down at her, she blocked it with her arms, from hitting her head, and she her arm got hurt instead. She heard a slight crack, and tears came to her eyes. He picked her up by the coller of her shirt, and threw her to the wall. She was so tired of it. The abuse came every day, she had a couple of scars, and she didn't know why he did this to her. She was laos his daughter, but why did her resent her so much. Her mother didn't even act like she existed, and she let her father do this to her. She was so tired of them acting this way, of treating her like trash.
Her father swung his cane again, but this time she caught it. He a little surprised. "Why do you hate me so much...I didn't do anything at all...I didn't do anything!" Some kind of force pushed him back far enough to hit his head hard on the mirror. She was still holding his cane, but she dropped it as soon as she say blood drip down from his head. He wasn't dead, but he was hurt. Her mother ran in the room, she probably saw, and gave her a piercing glare. I din't mean to...i...I just didn't want to get hurt... She wanted to say those words, but they wouldn't come out. She ran out of them room, and out of the house.
She was running for a while now, nothing with her, but the clothes on her back. She looked back, and kept on running. Her arm started hurting really badly, and started to swell a little, but she knew one thing. She wasn't going back.
She finally stopped running at a park, and sat heavily down on the ground. She refused to start crying, and layed down on the grass, holding her arm. A soft glow of light came from her other hand, it was healing her arm. She looked up at the sky, watching all of the stars, it always helped her calm down. (tell me if this is ok....)

00c;// That is fine, I like it. It's good. You really didn't have to use that color if you didn't want to, sometimes I put color on my threads to fancy them up.
Bic;//
From the corner of her eye Bridget saw a girl about her age run by, and without thinking Bridget stood up leaving her things on the bench. She looked over her dark attire and bit her bottom lip hoping the girl wouldn't be frightened of her, and after her doubtful thoughts she walked over to the girl, "Hello... I'm Bridget." she said softly keeping her distance but showing concern for the girl. "Why are you out so late?" she asked curiously catching a glance at the girl's arm.
Bridget shivered, if she made one false move she would be in the grass in pain. The last thing she needed was girl her age asking questions about her and her weirdness, "You don't have to answer that if you don't want to..." she added.

Ignoring what Granny told them. Joshua stayed at the park whistling a tune. “Once I meet one of those angels maybe I’ll heed(sp?) her warnings but not tonight anyway.” He told himself. He found a bench and sat on it. He looked around the park looking for one of someone who did not listen to Granny either. No one at all that he noticed.
He put his hands at his sides and felt something and jumped not knowing what it was. Whose is this? He thought while examining one of the items. “There must be someone else here.” He said and began to jog around the park making a much more thorough search this time.
Joshua tired himself out and getting much angrier than he usually dose. He felt like he was being taunted and went back to the bench and laid under it this time. Someone’s stuff was there and he was going to find out who it belonged to. He began to dose off before he grunted in pain. He rolled out from under the bench and onto his stomach. He removed a piece of glass from his side. “This is just great, just great!” The seven year old yelled.
In a calmer voice he whispered to himself, “Look where you’re going next time Josh, look.” The glass had not even gone that deep. There was very little bleeding so he got up and went to the bench on the opposite side and laid down on that one instead.

Hearing a boy Bridget turned slightly and her eyes went wide, he was near her stuff. 'Please don't let him touch any of it..plllleeeeaaassseeeee...' she whined silently in her mind. She bit down harder on her lip but not hard enough to break her skin and glanced between the girl and the boy, and without her noticing a wind was picking up.
"Oh no... calm down..." she whispered almost inaudibly and she finally noticed the wind when it whipped her hair into her face her honey colored eyes closed lightly and she said, "I'll be back I have to check on something." To the girl who she was still waiting on an answer from, and she went over to the boy and almost smacked his head but she pulled her hand back at the last second. "You didn't touch my things did you?" she asked tip-toeing around him to the other side of the bench where she left her things, picking them up and slowly walking back over to the girl.
00c;// you spelt heed right.

Joshua got a smirk on his face and got. He began to walk to the tennis court. He walked by Bridget and said, "I didn't don't worry," clearly not caring what she would do. He started to rub his wound to chekc if it was still bleeding, it wasn't any longer.
He continued to walk to the nets. I wish there was someone other than her to get in a fight with. He repeated in his mind over, and over.

"Running away..." She looked up and saw the girl there. She had stuff with her, and it made her think about herself. She had absolutly nothing with her. At the time it sounded like a good idea, running away felt like a brilliant idea, but now that she thought about it, she had nothing with her, or nowhere else to go. The soft glow from her hand had dissapeared, and she looked at her arm. It was still sore, but now all it had was one big bruise, better than a broken arm. She looked up again, and saw a guy with her. "I'm Dahlia, nice to meet you." She turned around, and sat up, she didn't feel like standing.

"Well, you could come with me if you'd like. I'm vanishing from my house for three days. I have an awesome hide-out in the woods." she offered sitting down, she looked over at the boy who she had come close to smacking, "I just came here to think of where I would go and the forest seems like a good place right now." she said smiling shyly.
