Nexus: Virtues and Sins

How about Volgograd, Russia? Maybe even have the gang's main bases/territories on opposite sides of the Volgo river, and since it's more in the future we can make the city larger and have it have expanded to the other side of the river as well, but maybe make it more "rural" than the main part of the city.
 
Hm, have the Sins on the Euro side, and the Virtues on the Russo side for a bit of a WWII reference?
 
(Well this is horribly late, I have been so buisy the last week or so I have been unable to really do much with my forms, I am almost done, just need to do their histories)


~General~
Here
Name: Sara Teltan
Alias: Humility
Age: 19
Gender: female
Heritage: Irish
~Appearance~
Skin tone: Her skin in the Nexus is actually closer to her natural tone, light olive tone, because in Decay she has spent so much time outside that she is now pretty tan.
Hair Color: Dark brown with a single lock dyed green.
Eye Color: Also dark brown but, with little flecks of gold around the edge.
Body type: She is pretty thin like many of the people living in Decay, but she has worked hard enough to be pretty muscular.
Accessories: To small silver hoops and a dog tag necklace with Humility written on the front and a celtic circle design on the back.
Clothing Style Preference: She tends to dress and darker or nuetral earth tones, but her most common outfit is a forest green tank top, a pair of black sports pants, and a pair of sneakers.
General description: Over all Sara stands at about 5'7 with a fairly muscled build, weighing her in around 135 lbs.
Other:
~Alliance~
Gang(?): Virtues
Represented Virtue/Sin: Humility
Rank: One of the main seven
Opposing/Enemy: Pride
Reason for Joining their Gang: When she was young she and her brother Devin struggled to survive in Decay. Since her brother was several years older than she and he always felt like he had to protect her he was always off stealing and seducing to get them what they needed. He learned all he could from the streets and in turn Sara learned what she could from him. However at some point Devin started drifting away from Sara spending less and less time with her, so she started to wander off during the days, till one day she found the virtues headquarters. So not long after that she found herself patrolling the Nexus as one of the virtues. It wasn’t too long after that that during a confrontation with the Sins she saw why her brother had been spending less and less time with her.
~Relations~
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Romantic Interest(s): Daijoudan (Temperance)
Lover/spouse(?): ---
Kin/Siblings/Parents/Children(?): She only has her brother Devin left, but he is actually Lust in the Sins gang. So the closet thing she has to family fight now is the rest of the Virtues gang.
Friends: The Virtues gang
~Skills and Combat~
Hacking Level/Abilities(?): As people go Sara is a very good hacker, she specializes in creating programs that alter the weather and other non-fixed components of the Nexus.
Specialty: She is best at long range weapons, like guns and bows and arrows (although her favorite is the crossbow), she is also pretty good at hand-to-hand combat although she isn't very good at striking, just blocking and reacting to her opponents moves.
*Nexus* Talents/Skills: Much the same as in Decay, she is fast making her good at hand-to-hand combat but, she doesn't put a lot of power behind her strikes. She is also very good at using long range weapons so she usually is providing back-up from a distance or a convenient roof top for the rest of the gang. With hacking she actually pre-makes her programs and either stores them in the arrows she uses or as little capsule around the size of a ping pong ball, since she is pretty athletic and usually has to find a way to get on top on roofs and such as quickly as possible Sara has taught herself a little parkour, she is not a total master at it but, she enjoys it and knows enough to make due.
*Decay* Talents/Skills: About the same as in the Nexus just that her arrows don't cause spurts of rain or the tide level to rise. One thing that is different is that in Decay she serves as a passible medic, with enough knowledge and experience to deal with a variety of injuries and illness but, since she is not formally trained or anything there is a good amount of things she just doesn’t have the know-how or tools to deal with.
*Nexus* Weapons/abilities of choice: Her cross bow with its specially programmed arrows, her hacking in general, and her ability to move quickly from roof top to roof top.
*Decay* Weapons of Choice: Since a cross bow is not the most practical thing to have in Decay she instead has an old compound bow that she uses which gets just about the same distance as a cross bow would.
Fighting Styles: In general she likes to avoid close combat and is most often seen moving from high ground to high ground providing support for the rest of the gang. Although when it does come down to close up fighting she uses Aikido which basically uses the attacker’s movements and momentum against them and uses little to no strikes.
Downfalls/Weaknesses: When using long range weapons both in the Nexus and in Decay there is not a lot of room for error, because once she gives away her position people can easily get out of her line of sight or even return fire. She is not overly strong and even with her fighting style if someone is also good at martial arts or is disproportionally faster or stronger she will not be able to block or keep up with the strikes. In general she is pretty quiet and sometimes doesn't voice things she should probably should, or she will sit back and let others take the lead.
~Bio~
Personality: For the most part Sara is a very quiet girl, she mostly avoids conflict with others. This is not to say that she won’t stand up for herself or voice her opinions if necessary but, for the most part she is just happy taking a back seat. In conversations she will listen carefully and only interject quiet well thought out points when needed. She does have some confidence issues when it comes to holding her own among a large group and she sometimes will wander off on her own for a while maybe to patrol with her dog Delta, or practice parkour among the shattered buildings, or maybe just find a high place to be alone with her thoughts. Even so she never wanders far, never more than a yell away, and can get anxious if she gets to be too far from the group. As a friend she is very loyal and is always that person that someone can go to and just talk to if needed. She sometimes wishes that she could be more confident or proud, but, she is just not that kind of person and she always checks herself before she goes too far. At times she can be a little spacey and get totally lost and though before either a book, a hand, or some other object is used to bring her back to the present.
Likes:
Friends

Sometimes just letting go

Hates:
Being picked on
Betrayal
Sadness
Cruelty
Hobbies: Besides training with the bow and practicing parkour, she has a book of pressed flowers going and she enjoys
History: In the beggining Sara and Devin lived together with their parents, life was tough as it is for most in Decay but, it was managable as they all worked together. However one day their parents never came back, they had been exploring one of the many crumbling buildings before the whole thing collapsed on top of them. Sara never really learned what happened. After three days Devin had told her to stay where she was while he went to look for them, coming back with only a grim look on his face. Ever since then they were constantly on the move Devin doing most of the work as he was so afraid of losing Sara that there was not much he would let her do. But even so Sara learned how to do many things from watching her brother and getting him to teach her. When she was about 14 Devin started to leave for longer and longer periods of time so Sara sought out her own line of work. For a while she became a medics assistant just following them around, handing them stuff when they asked for it, and generally just picking up things here and there. Eventually she found herself joining up with the Virtues gang although she would still go back to the home she shared with Devin just incase he came back for the night. One day while patroling aorund with the rest of the Virtues in the Nexus they had a run in with the Sins and she was shocked to see her brother fighting as one of the Sins. Since then she has cut all ties with him and has even refused to go back to the place she once called home not wanting to confront him.

body-fit-guy-handsome-man-Favim.com-271848_large.jpg

Name: Devin Teltan
Alias: Lust
Age: 24
Gender: male
Heritage: Irish
~Appearance~
Skin tone: Naturally on the darker side he has a nice glow going in both the Nexus and the decay.
Hair Color:A medium tone brown
Eye Color:Same as his sister's, dark brown with small flecks of gold around the edges.
Body type: Overall Devin is very fit, he works hard to keep himself looking good and so at this point he is very toned.
Accessories: Only a small key chain that his sister gave him, that when asked about he says he just needs somewhere to keep his keys, which he doesn’t ever use, but if anyone ever touches the keychain or moves it he goes absolutely postal.
Clothing Style Preference: He likes to wear slim, form fitting clothes. Although while he is fighting or training he will go for things that are form fitting but have a good deal of stretch to them so that he is not restricted. He is known to often dress up when he is in the Nexus, targeting the rich with he good looks and charm.
General description: Standing at around 6'1 and with the toned build of an avid athelete Devin strikes an impressive figure. He goes to great lengths to maintain his figure and his good looks and is often seen working out or in front of a mirror fixing himself up. Some how he has gotten ahold of a great deal of hair gel so his hair is often teased up. He is also most often seen with his trade mark "I know I'm amazing" grin that while is useful in seducing those he is after, it can also really piss some people off.
Other: Has this tattoo on his back and arm.
~Alliance~
Gang(?): Sins
Represented Virtue/Sin: Lust
Rank: One of the main seven
Opposing/Enemy: Chastity
Reason for Joining their Gang: A vie for power, at first he convinced himself that he was doing it for him and his little sister but after the day he saw her as part of the Virtues things change and he has grown colder and more conniving.
~Relations~
Sexual Orientation: Basically pansexual, although he would pretty much do anyone if it would get him something he was after.
Romantic Interest(s): ---
Lover/spouse(?): ---
Kin/Siblings/Parents/Children(?): Sara Teltan-sister
Friends: Not loyal enough to have any real friends, just acquaintances.
~Skills and Combat~
Hacking Level/Abilities(?): Moderate at best Devin is good at slipping through the layers of the Nexus and pretty much the only reason he hasn’t been caught is that ability and the fact that he is a very quick thinker and tries to keep his enemies off balance.
Specialty: Manipulation, he is known to be completely unwavering in his pursuit of whatever had the misfortune to get his attention. Although when it comes to actual fighting he strikes swiftly and as hard as he can so as to try and end the fight as soon as possible, so as to decrease the amount of damage dealt to his “perfect” body.
*Nexus* Talents/Skills: Bit of hacking, usually ends up being the “inside” man, as he is good at acting and getting people to like him.
*Decay* Talents/Skills: Manipulation, acting, mostly the same as in the Nexus, but, here in the uneven landscape he shares some of his sisters love of parkour.
*Nexus* Weapons/abilities of choice: A semi-automatic, and a pair of silver inlay brass knuckles to when things get to close quarters.
*Decay* Weapons of Choice: A revolver, although it is mostly for show as he doesn’t always have the bullets and can’t really afford to waste any, and a pair of old worn brass knuckles.
Fighting Styles: He tends to be much more defensive in Decay as there you can actually die and bruises fade in real time. While in the Nexus he uses more offensive moves and will switch to brass knuckles more quickly than in Decay.
Downfalls/Weaknesses: In the Nexus he tends to not takes things as seriously and if he feels that he has the upper hand he will often play with his opponent, trying getting them to crack. And since he knows he can’t die in the Nexus he will not retreat as often as in Decay. In decay if a fight is lasting to long he will start trying to find an escape. Although in the Nexus he take is as easy because he knows that they will not be any lasting harm, he still finds it very hard to fight his sister. He has tried to just think about her as an enemy and tries his best to hide his true feelings from the rest of the sins gang but, it is not that easy for him.
~Bio~
Personality: When you first meet Devin he can seem very sweet and charming, especially when he is trying to get something from you, but, after a bit you will start to see that he is cold and more than a bit uncaring. He has had to steel himself against the world until he has only the smallest crack in his heart left open. Since he relies a lot on deception and he is Lust he has left many a person behind with shattered hopes and broken hearts. Really trust is not something he is all that familiar with and this can put him a bit at odds with the rest of the Sins gang, but, since they are not really together on a trust bases it is not that big of a problem. The only person who has ever seen his good side is Sara and even she hasn’t seen his truly good side since they drifted apart. Even so he is often seen with his trade mark cheeky grin with a look that says I am full of myself and you should totally go out with me.
Likes:
Being the center of attention
Getting what he wants
Finding ways to emotionally hurt his opponents
Listening to music
Playing music
Hates:
Being venerable
Losing control
Being insulted
Hobbies: He is a bit of an exercise nut but, on the other hand he is very fond of music and originally played classical cello but, the instrument was too big and cumbersome so at this point he has to stick with a violin.
History: In the beggining Sara and Devin lived together with their parents, life was tough as it is for most in Decay but, it was managable as they all worked together. However one day their parents never came back, they had been exploring one of the many crumbling buildings before the whole thing collapsed on top of them. Sara never really learned what happened. After three days Devin had told her to stay where she was while he went to look for them, coming back with only a grim look on his face. Ever since then they were constantly on the move Devin doing most of the work as he was so afraid of losing Sara that there was not much he would let her do. But even so Sara learned how to do many things from watching her brother and getting him to teach her. When he was about 19 Devin found a new line of work that often ate up his nights and time, but, which made him more money than ever. It was aorund this time that he joined up with the Sins gang, impressed with their power and eager to get in on their plans. Even as he was drawn more and more into their world Devin would still venture home so as to spend time with Sara. One day in the Nexus he found himself fighting her and although he hid his true feelings from the gang something in him cracked as he battled his sister. Ever since then he has had to cut ties with her but, he still sometimes goes back to their old house when he is in one of his moods with some strange shred of hope that she will be there.

Name: Raz Silver
Alias: Sloth
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Heritage: Canadian
~Appearance~
Skin tone: Pale
Hair Color: Light brown
Eye Color: greenish grey
Body type: Raz is only five-foot-five, and ever-so-slightly overweight. He's still got quite the set of arm muscles, though.
Accessories: N/A
Clothing Style Preference: The baggier, the better. Raz tends to wear comfortable clothing, though some would call it grungy. He can most often be seen in jeans or cargo pants and a too-large button-down shirt. Not that he necessarily uses the buttons on his shirts. He will leave them hanging open as long as the weather permits.
General description: I'm too lazy. If you've gotten this far, I think you've got the idea.Other: He always wears a dog tag around his neck. It used to belong to a friend, but that friend is long gone from this world.
~Alliance~
Gang(?): Sins
Represented Virtue/Sin: Sloth
Rank: One of the main seven
Opposing/Enemy: Diligence, Lucian Lecuyer
Reason for Joining their Gang: To Raz, the men and women who work so hard for the utopian ideal of the Nexus are deluding themselves, creating false hopes that all too many scramble for. He watched as some of his closest friends and family tried again and again to make their way to utopia. A few made it, but most did not. And of those who were caught attempting to enter the Nexus illegally, many suffered horrible consequences. So when he was given the opportunity to fight against this wall of false virtue, Raz took the chance eagerly.
~Relations~
Sexual Orientation: Gay
Romantic Interest(s): Devin Teltan
Lover/spouse(?): N/AKin/Siblings/Parents/Children(?): Lost contact with his parents shortly before joining the gang.
Friends: Considers the gang to be his friends. He lost contact with most of his friends outside of the gang, in any case.
~Skills and Combat~
Hacking Level/Abilities(?): Novice. Raz never had much of an interest in actually doing the deed himself.
Specialty: Listening/observing and planning. While Raz has never been much of the go-out-and-get-'em type, he is very good at being quiet and simply watching and listening. He often uses this information to plan future action, and often uses this information to help the gang. In the rare instance when he can be convinced to go into the Nexus (usually with another person at his side), his intel gathering can be quite useful. Otherwise, he usually just sticks to listening to what the rest of the gang tells him, acting both as a tactician and as a sort of therapist, as he is perfectly willing to sit and listen to his friends' problems. Or perhaps he is just to lazy to get up and move. It's hard to tell sometimes.
*Nexus* Talents/Skills: Blends into the crowd/background very well; observation and attention to detail; decent with hand-to-hand combat; does especially well with surprise attacks
*Decay* Talents/Skills: Basically the same as the Nexus talents. Also very good at listening to those who come to him. As mentioned before, acts as a sort of informal "therapist," mainly for those within the Sins gang
*Nexus* Weapons/abilities of choice: Fists, a concealable knife
*Decay* Weapons of Choice: Fists, a concealable knifeFighting Styles: Hand-to-hand combat. Raz prefers not to be the one in a fight, but when he must use force, he prefers to use the element of surprise, sneaking up from behind or coming out with a sudden, powerful punch to the gut in the middle of a conversation. If things are looking desperate, he will pull out his knife, a small, sharp thing with a wooden handle that he keeps tucked in his belt.Downfalls/Weaknesses: He is not very fast, and depends heavily on the momentum he gets from a surprise attack. If his opponent can regain enough balance and strength to get a strong blow in return, Raz will begin to loose momentum unless he has a partner helping him in the fight.
~Bio~
Personality: Raz does not talk a lot unless he is among his closest friends. He has a very sarcastic sense of humor, but will put that sarcasm on hold if he thinks somebody needs emotional support. While he is perfectly fine with listening to people or giving advice, he tends to avoid physical labor when he can, and will often do a sloppy, half-hearted job of a physical task if he thinks he can get away with it.
Likes: Books, discussion, planning/plotting
Hates: Physical work, the Nexus,Hobbies: Listening to music, reading, sleeping
History: Raz was unemployed and in the middle of a job hunt (as much as one can call it a "job hunt" when living in Decay) when the clamor for the Nexus began in the area where he lived. He watched as his parents, cousins, and friends chased after the pipe dream. Many of them, he never saw nor heard from again, his parents among them. An aunt and her son contacted Raz after they successfully made it to the Nexus, inviting him to join them, but Raz refused the offer. The contact from "the other side," as Raz called it, was not common, though. More often, he ran into friends and family on Decay, many of whom attempted and failed to get into the Nexus, many of them heartily punished for using illegal methods to get there.

One morning Raz got a call from an overrun hospital nearby. He was the last available emergency contact for one of his best friends, a young man named Sid, who had been beaten senseless by men claiming to be police. Raz had his suspicions as to why, but Sid never told him. Even if Sid wanted to tell his story, he died in the hospital within an hour of Raz's arrival at the hospital. Raz took his friend's
dog tag to remember him by. It was not long after that Raz joined the Deadly Sins.
 
You consider that long?! Mine took forever to get done...
Anyway, yay someone is crushing on Devin :yay:.
 
Glad somebody doesn't consider that forever. XD I feel like I always take ages nitpicking about character details and then I feel bad for keeping people waiting. So it's good to hear that somebody else takes a long time.
Also, I figured, Devin is frakking lust (and not bad looking), so somebody ought to be crushing on him. And since Raz is gay... XD I'm excited to see how this plays out.
 
Approved

And you think THAT's long? Try waiting a year and a half for a roleplay with a plot that only one person can RP(because it's their original plot). I did that once...FINALLY got a couple days worth of posts...they've kind of abandoned me again though DX No idea what happened, just "poof"

It was just getting good, too! *grumps*

Alias: Greed , Ava
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance
Skin tone: Olive Tone
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Green
Body type: Short, petite
Accessories: She wears a belt all the time. Attached to the belt would be, what you would call a “fanny-pack.” But this is not the type that a middle aged mother would have, but one that hangs on the side of her hip. It’s black and the size of a big purse.
Clothing Style Preference: Black clothes – tank tops and shorts are most comfortable. Always has on some jewelry.
General description: Ava stands at a small height of 5’ 4” and is most likely to stay that way the rest of her life. Her eyes are very green, very fitting for her role in the gang. She is skinny though due to a high metabolism, also because she’s a bit picky. Her hair is at shoulder length, and naturally curls at the ends. She’s always seen with her bag when she goes out – ready to snag anything she may ‘need’.

Lover -Crush - Family - Best Friends -Friends -Acquaintance - Annoyance - Hate


Raz ; You're super annoying and need to know when to stop calling me by these silly pet names that you know get on my nerves. Also the way you rile up Hothead - you know it doesn't anyone. I guess I don't really understand you. All I know is that you're gonna get hit at some point and it will be funny.

Faulklin "Hothead" ; You get mad a lot. I feel bad for you - and I don't feel bad for many people often. Carrying all of that anger all the time can't be good for you. I have this odd feeling in my gut saying I should try to help, but - I'm not sure. We'll see.

Vollerei ; I feel like we could be friends - maybe. I want to get to know you more.

Devin ; You're hot. But I don't know you well.


Skills and Combat
Hacking Level/Abilities(?): She’s pretty good at getting in – but she’s only gone in on her own a few times.
Specialty: Stealing, lying, cheating
*Nexus* Talents/Skills: Persuasion, stealing, lying, acting. Speed when fleeing.
*Decay* Talents/Skills: Persuasion, stealing, lying, acting
*Nexus* Weapons/abilities of choice: She keeps a small dagger strapped to her right thigh, but only uses it when she needs to.
*Decay* Weapons of Choice: Same as Nexus, only this dagger is a little older.
Fighting Styles: Tries to stay out of combat, given her small stature but will use the dagger to kill if really needed. But nine times out of ten she will flee from a situation – only to return at night when she has the night on her side. Then she’ll back stab a perpetrator. She’d very quick though.
Downfalls/Weaknesses: How small she is. Weighs only around 100 pounds, so can easily be knocked down if caught.
Bio
Personality: Around new people, she’ll keep to herself – not one to make the first step in making friends. Unless, they have something of value, or just something that she wants. She’s sneaky and cares not for many other people. She will get everything she wants. But she won’t throw a fit – oh no – she’ll get it and she get it herself. Through any means aswell; lying, cheating, stealing, and even killing. This counts for physical and many non-physical things. Yet, besides being greedy – she is a laid back individual. Likes having fun – but finds herself without many friends to share in said fun.

Likes: Having things and getting what she wants. Being surrounded by material things. Being alone.

Hates: Being alone . . . and not getting what she wants. Decay.

Hobbies: Stealing things, and planting them on others to frame them to start a fight.

History: Her family lived a very small life in Decay. They were poor – her, and her mother and father. She lived in small neighborhood in Decay, that looked more like a refugee camp after a war. Her father left for his clean up job every morning, leaving her and her mother alone in their shack. As time went by her mother grew ill due to the pollutants in the environment. Her father kept working, leaving his preteen daughter to care for his wife. As time went on, Ava saw her father less and less. She assumed he was working extra hard to bring more money. Then, one day he never came home.Her mother passed soon after, and soon Ava was left alone. She later learned that her father was invited to live in Nexus permanently, over hearing her neighbors talking about how they pitied the girl who was left by her father. This is when she began thieving – she had to get food somehow on her own.

I don’t like giving away the full history in a bio for it may come out sometime in the RP.
 
Approved

And that's fine xD I don't like to give away full histories either.
 
omg you guys, you're killing me here with all these nicknames tossed at Faulklin in the roleplay xD I can't stop laughing haha
 
I keep thinking, "Okay, now I'm actually gonna post." Then I get distracted and/or have to go someplace. So excuse me while I slack off once again and go see a friend who I haven't seen in a year. XD
