Sins And Virtues
Nephilim, like other species in Purgatory, are created or born with a natural affinity towards a sin or a virtue. Though in hosts this is a very very important factor and will dictate much of their social standing and rank, for Nephilim this is merely something to think about. It will be important going forward but for the time being think of it rather like a star sign, simply a choice to make on some factor of their personality which might best fit one of the below listed sins or virtues.
SINS
- Lust - Desiring, Wanting. Whether for sex, life, or power, there is no greater pursuit. The heart is deceitful above all things, and wants what it wants.
- Gluttony - Consuming, Indulging. An absence of self-control. The height of excess and waste with no concept of restraint, there is no such word as STOP, only MORE.
- Greed - Having, Hoarding. Exploitation and acquisition by any means necessary. Rationing and controlling resources with merciless foresight: All for me, None for you.
- Sloth- Doing nothing, delaying. Taking the path of least resistance. Whether out of cowardice, despair, or inertia, why bother?
- Wrath - Rage, uncontrolled feelings of anger and hatred, self destructiveness, vengeance
- Envy - Mimicking, Taking. Wants what others have. Wants to be what others are. Why should THEY? Why can't I?
- Pride - Self-loving, Other-denying. There is only One who is divine, and it's Me. Follow or get out of the way.
