So, as announced here, Nature in the Storytelling System will be divided into a Virtue and a Vice, "chosen from the traditional list of seven deadly sins and corresponding virtues" rather than from descriptive nouns like "Bravo" and "Competitor". (For those of you who forgot or never knew, the cardinal virtues are Faith, Hope, Charity, Prudence, Justice, Temperance and Fortitude; the deadly sins, in no particular order, are Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Wrath, Pride, Envy and Sloth.)

What do you think your Virtue and Vice are? Feel free to post it in comments here, or in your own journal. To get the ball rolling, I'm pretty sure my Vice is Sloth, and my Virtue is probably Hope (though I can see arguments for many of the others and welcome other people's thoughts).

For that matter, it might be interesting to post Virtues and Vices for your fictional characters, and/or characters you write. (The guy whose name appears on this journal, for instance: Dezz' Vice is probably Gluttony, in that the things he wants out of life are usually things you can't so much buy as rent. His Virtue? Justice, curiously enough. At least, that's the closest I can find to the willingness he demonstrated to fight against greater evils than himself [S'am'jha, for instance, and Kubiczirconite — archangelbeth and penguinzero will recognize those names]. I dunno, though; might be Fortitude.)

I think my Vice would be Wrath, and my Virtue would be Fortitude.

I think my Virtue would be Hope, and my Vice would be Greed (not for money as such, but more for media).

My Vice is probably Pride, my Virtue Hope. Or Fortitude on my good days.

Characters I write that you know of... Staciel's Vice is Envy. Her Virtue might be ... Fortitude, possibly Prudence.

Interesting that it's easier to find Vices.

Man, I have to pick just ONE?

Man, fuck a White Wolf. Although I have to give them credit for milking the fuck out of that whole doofy vampire game.

LET'S PRETEND EVERYTHING IS TRAGIC AND BEAUTIFUL AND YET HORRIBLE AT THE SAME TIME. Man, fuck you. If I were a vampire, I wouldn't be all tragically beautiful and engaging in intrigues and bullshit.

I'd be Batman.

-HX, briefly partook in Vampire LARPing and it was the most amazingly goofy and sad thing ever. Especially considering everyone else were tortured artists or brilliant poets or something equally GOTHYK and I was a professional wrestler. OOOOOH YEAH, BROTHA! WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THE CRUSHA SINKS HIS FANGS INTO YOU?!

(also, there was some really dumb linear storytelling, i.e., "no, you HAVE to fight the gargoyle blocking the door, you can't just use your super strength to go back down beneath the floor (the way we came in!) and go into the next room via... wait a second... What the hell kind of vampire mansion has a sewer DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH IT, anyway? You figure this dude is the rich-ass prince of darkness, he can afford a place with a goddamn basement!)

(note also that Adventure! is fucking brilliant and I wish it got more support. Le sigh.)

Man, I have to pick just ONE?

Not necessarily. I mean, I specified the ones I think suit me best, but maybe I'm more about Faith than Hope. And anyone who's seen me blow my stack would say my Vice is Wrath.

OOOOOH YEAH, BROTHA! WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THE CRUSHA SINKS HIS FANGS INTO YOU?!

Too bad your ST had never heard of El Diablo Verde, that's all I can say.

You figure this dude is the rich-ass prince of darkness, he can afford a place with a goddamn basement!

Yeah, well, that's Vlad Pretentious for you.

(note also that Adventure! is fucking brilliant and I wish it got more support. Le sigh.)

Does the d20 version count? Because the rumor is, enough people buying the d20 versions will lead to more support for the Trinity Universe in general. (And yeah, it is fbrilliant.)

Would you believe I never heard of El Diablo Verde until months or possibly a year or two after I played Crusher Calhoun? Who was more based on the 80's Hulk Hogan/Randy Savage school of 'overly muscled dudes who say weird shit and pound heads' as opposed to the lucha libre style...

And yeah, I'm probably either gluttony or lust paired with probably fortitude....

And is it just me, or is busting out the old seven deadlies a lil' bit.... PRETENTIOUS?!!!!
