Humans: Repenting

Hell is full, but never as full as most imagine. A place of peace and divine grace is a human's right in the afterlife by default -- they aren't born damned, such fate is earned throughout their many lives and can often be avoided with genuine remorse, to a spiritual level. This makes corruption a much harder task for demons or other malevolent entities.

That’s not to say wrongdoings go unnoticed, they are weighed by the amount of hurt it’s caused others and/or oneself and such hurt leaves scars in the soul that, when accumulated, cause its essence to act erratic -- at this point, it barely interests those of demonic nature and are often taken by angels of higher order to be tended to. Normally, letting go of a soul to the flames of Hell is seen as great, irreparable loss.

Contracting a demon is still the only guarantee that Hell is a mortal’s final destination.

Demons: On payments

Demons being able to grant any wish a mortal asks of them right away is a myth. Even if each one of them possess different capabilities, they're still limited and better performed within a given demon's area of expertise, which the person inviting the entity should take into consideration when summoning.

However, most demons are known for their dishonesty and frauds. In other words, they're experts at cheating and can often find alternative ways to complete their part of the bargain. 

When these unorthodox alternatives work but have negative consequences, and they usually do, they cease to be the demon’s responsibility. Specially if they come after the contract’s been honored.

Are you guys still open?

Hello, thank you for asking! Yes, we are still accepting new members and ideas. 

[sinsandvirtues]

I am being haunted and I am seeking help and answers

Well, for one, we aren’t.... actually a blog for help and/or advice on that kind of topic, and we apologize for that, but maybe if you explain your situation more closely we can give you a nudge into a direction of rescources for help?

However, please keep in mind that we are no professionals, and this is a blog for applications to a roleplaying timeline, not a help and advice blog. We cannot be responsible to give out any help or advice that we never signed up to make. If you need help with a haunting, please consider looking up help elsewhere, and not at an rp blog.

I’m terribly sorry we cannot be of greater help for you, and I hope the spirit/s that is/are haunting you will soon move on. ;v;

With love and best wishes;

Demons: Hellhounds

Hellhounds are beasts meant to attend their master’s orders and are commonly found participating in activities meant to ensure their assigned Circle’s management (guiding stray souls into the correct layer of Hell, visiting those whose deals are due, guarding the entrance, etc). They’re servants, no different from lesser demons, imps and familiars.

Although they're called hounds, these beasts can take up any animal’s form their master prefers -- their hierarchy, however, is always that of a pack, with at least one alpha that is the only one capable of speaking and thinking rationally.

They’re incorporeal entities and roam in the veil between dimensions, they can’t be seen by mortal eyes. The average pack can be constituted by over twenty hounds.

Angels and Demons: halos and horns

Despite having individual characteristics, angels and demons were created to give continuity to Their work, having equal importance to the balance.

Demons:

Demons, save those created from mortal souls, are angels. Their essence, however, is corrupted beyond repair and banned from entering Heaven altogether. They don't lose their halo or wings upon falling, as nobody within their reach bears any right to take what's been given to them by The Creators.

Instead, their soul shifts to accomodate their new role in the scheme of all things and their physical appearance adopts a new form as to mark their alignment to Hell.

Some demons have horns and halo, others have only horns; mortal souls occupying a position in the lower circle of the demonic hierarchy, neither.

Angels

All angels, regardless of their place in the angelic hierarchy, have a halo. It’s usually not visible for mortals, but can be manifested if so desired.

They are unique and extremely bright. It’s where angels concentrate their grace and is also powerful enough to blind both humans and demons if looked directly. Some describe it as white, but many also confess to have seen them glow in gold.

More

Halo:

demons cannot manifest their halo in the world of the living. When presenting themselves for contracts, it’ll be represented by their horns (if they have them) or not be represented at all. 

angels, as mentioned, have their halo as source of their existence. Should it be taken or broken somehow, they will cease to exist permanently.

Horns: 

regardless of whether a demon has a halo or not, their horn is still more than important. They serve the same purpose as an angel’s halo does, but are visible and easier to reach/touch. Should both (or more) horns be taken or broken somehow 1) they’ll cease to exist permanently 2) in case of demons who possess a halo, their abilities will be nullified until/if they get them back.

Neither:

demons without either horns or halo are usually too low in the hierarchy and will cease to exist permanently if killed.

Michael is here! Welcome to Sins and Virtues.

[sinsandvirtues]

Application: Michael

Welcome to SinsandVirtues. We apologize for the delay and hope you’ll enjoy being a part of our AU, please contact us when your blog is up and ready!

Out of character:

Preferred name/nickname: Poptart Pronouns: she/her Age: 18 Skype/Discord/Kik: private

In character:

Character chosen: Eridan Ampora Nature: Archangel Michael Specialty: Battle Strategy

Headcanons:

Michael where as he’s prideful, he isn’t so much to where it is sinful.

Most often than not he will speak in old language. Michael is a very serious angel. You have to explain to him if you are only playing around with him.

He always has his sword on him. Always. No exepctions.

He’s very protective once he gets to know someone.

Michael, as serious as he is, will have to be forced to take a break and relax.

He would work himself to death if someone let him. All work, no play.

Writing example: 

It’s been forever since the War it feels like. Nothing hardly seems interesting anymore, at least up in heaven. What’s the point of protecting something that doesn’t need protection anymore, or at least for a few millennia. He had heard rumors of a couple of their own getting freindly with enemy lines. Even the pure thought of it sent a wave of disgust through him. Angels and Demons gettibg along? Poppycock!

However, it seems it has been left to him to fix this little issue. The Archangel really hoped he would not have to use extreme measures, but this sort of mockery simply won’t stand! Not while Michael is alive and around that is.

Sheathing his sword he grumbled to himself. It was work, but SOMEONE has to do it.

[sinsandvirtues]

Application: Humility

Welcome to SinsandVirtues. We apologize for the delay and hope you’ll enjoy being a part of our AU, please contact us when your blog is up and ready!

Out of character:

Preferred name/nickname: Ghost Pronouns: He, Him, I’m a Guy Age: 19 Skype/Discord/Kik: private

In character:

Character chosen: Dad Egbert Nature: Virtue, Humility Specialty: Advise, given the fact he knows alot, and I mean alot, he gives really good advise.

Headcanons:

He does have wings, they’re mainly white but do have the slightest aqua marine hint on the tops of his wings span.

He is Japanese, being this his hair is pretty much jet black however his skin could not be any paler than it is.

He does not wear shirts. Why? Well because he’s ripped through so many because of his wings he saw not point to just wasting fabric others worked so hard to make. However when in the human realm he will wear a shirt and hoodie because his wings are not gonna be out in the human world.

Writing example:

Humility dropped the last of the bags onto the mound he had created. Flour, sugar, and other baking necessities. In bags weighing a hundred pounds each. Definitely hard work on his part however much harder for the older woman he had taken over for. He was passing when he saw her trying to unload the large truck herself. He ran over and gladly took over for her. The more he helped the more he learned her story. In short terms her husband had recently passed and she was left to run the bakery alone. Her bakery hand had called in sick today so she had decided to try to unload the truck alone. This older woman did have alot of stories but Humility didn’t mind he listened intently as he moved all of the bags. He had been around other like her for millions of years and he never found it annoying or a hassle any time he helped any of them. He gave a slight smile at the thought and rememberence of them all. He sure did help alot of people. With the last of the bags in the storage room he returned and grabbed his hoodie and began to leave. When he hit the door the older woman yelled for him.

“Wait just a moment” she walked to him and held out money “This is for you thank you for helping young man”

Humility blinked for a second before turning and folding her hand back onto the money.

“No payment is required I did this for you not for myself” The woman looked shocked at his response but she could tell from his face he was being serious. She smiled at him and nodded her head.

“Well if that’s how you want it then all I can say is thank you and may God bless a good man like you on further journeys through your life” Humility smiled at that comment he bowed slightly to her before leaving out the door. He stood on the front stairs for a minute breathing it the air around him. ‘May God bless a good man like you’ he thought to himself.

“Well isn’t that ironic” Hey said to himself with a smile as he then continued on his walk down the street.

The line between holy and wicked is subtle; evil, good and everything in between are, after an eternity, finally realigning themselves, destined to form bonds and understand the true purpose of their very existence.

The Gods chant from above, it’s almost time. After all, the war is not over when all warriors stay on the battlefield.

Angels: on being called

Unlike demons, angels cannot be summoned. All angels, regardless of sphere, are allowed to roam among mortals freely if given a purpose and the decision doesn’t harm the balance of all things.

Though also relying on intention, to call an angel one must either wholeheartedly need their assistance or do so with benevolent motives, often upon praying -- however, angelics are capable of sensing when a mortal being is struggling spiritually or otherwise, and willingly offer help in subtle ways if desired. 

The act of requesting the presence of an angel is known as calling or invocation.

IMPORTANT: angelics cannot be contracted, as they shouldn’t compromise anyone’s free will, nor personally benefit from their assistance.

Application: Patience

Welcome to SinsandVirtues! We hope you’ll enjoy being a part of our AU, please contact us when your blog is up and ready!

Out of character:

Preferred name/nickname: aurum  Pronouns: she/her Age: 18 Skype/Discord/Kik: private

In character:

Character chosen: kanaya maryam Nature: virtue of patience Specialty: astronomy

Headcanons:  

they choose to have sharp fangs in almost every form solely to assert dominance

they have a soft german accent

their true form is not really physical as much as it is a genderless entity

Writing example:

Patience is a virtue, the humans would say. And it was the honest truth. Patience was a virtue, a genderless entity appearing to come straight from the mythos, a glowing green light and nothing else to human eyes.

But Patience was sentient, as unreal as it looked with its glowing lights and never-ending aura of hope and beauty. Patience was not born, but created. Created when the people of this new world needed it most. And now Patience was ready to fulfill its purpose.
