[Full Name]: Death
[Age]: Older than all of the Sins, Virtues, and most of the other Essences. Looks to be in his late thirties.
[Race]: Essence
[Gender]: Male
[Preference]: Who knows?
[Implement]: A small orb set into his scythe. A small blue flame flickers inside it.

- - - - Can't you see? - - - -
- - - - It'll be clear soon enough... - - - -

[Height]: 6'1"
[Weight]: 190 lbs
[Hair Color]: Dark blue, almost black.
[Eye Color]: Green
[Skin Tone]: Pale
[Build]: Thin, lean
[Clothing Style]: Death prefers to wear darker clothes, most likely because it is much easier to match them. He does not tend to wear anything fancy and prefers to stick with simple yet nice looking clothes.
[Actual Appearance]:

- - - - What, you want more? - - - -
- - - - Let's see what I can make whip up - - - -

[Strengths]:
[+] Organized
[+] Fair and rational boss
[Weaknesses]:
[-] Takes things at his own pace
[-] Not a great conversationalist
[Likes]:
[+] Smoking
[+] Company (Anna, in particular)
[+] A clean desk
[Dislikes]:
[-] Paperwork
[-] Deadlines
[-] Chaos
[-] Trouble
[Goals]: Aside from the short-term goals that his job entails, any long-term goals he might have are a complete mystery.
[Fears]: As he doesn't talk much of himself, his fears are also a mystery.
[Personality]: Death serves as the leader of the Sins and his personality reflects as much. He is a cool, collected and serious leader. While he is not one to pick favorites, he has a soft spot for Anna (Though that could have something to do with the fact that he was her creator) and he confides things in her that none of the other Sins know. Death is not one to get riled up and only resorts to anger in the most extreme situations.
[Other Notes]: Death and the Sins live at Death's Cathedral. The exact location of this cathedral is unknown - it lies somewhere in between the human world and the Shade world.

[Full Name]: Anna De Mercer
[Age]: older than most of the Sins, younger than Gluttony, Wrath and Sloth.
[Race]: ?
[Gender]: Female
[Preference]: ?
[Implement]: N/A

- - - - Can't you see? - - - -
- - - - It'll be clear soon enough... - - - -

[Height]: 5'8"
[Weight]: 142 lbs
[Hair Color]: Light Blonde
[Eye Color]: Hazel
[Skin Tone]: Pale
[Clothing Style]: Anna hardly goes anywhere without her bright red Tuxedo and hat. Her hat actually functions as an interdimensional storage space, so although it makes her stand out in a crowd, it is very useful.
[Actual Appearance]:

- - - - What, you want more? - - - -
- - - - Let's see what I can make whip up - - - -

[Strengths]:
[+] Optimistic
[+] Very, very good at organizing things. (Makes up for what Death lacks)
[Weaknesses]:
[-] Hasty at times
[-] Brash when it comes to trouble
[Likes]:
[+] Coffee (She's a regular addict)
[+] Most all of the Sins
[+] Death
[Dislikes]:
[-] Paperwork
[-] Getting caught up in otherworldly affairs
[-] Chaos
[Goals]: Anna doesn't have many goals, aside from helping Death get caught up with all of the work that he is behind on. Oh, and she wants to help keep the Sins out of trouble as much as possible.
[Fears]: Anna doesn't speak much of her fears.
[Personality]: Anna is probably one of the most well-liked people that reside at Death's Cathedral. She acts under Death, though doesn't speak down to the Sins at all. Instead, she treats them as equals and often gets involved in their problems in efforts to help them. Anna can be reckless at times though always does things in what she thinks is everyones' best interest.
[Other Notes]: Anna has come to be known as Death's 'secretary', though she hates that title. She does most of the paperwork (yes, there's paperwork) that is involved with his job and often helps him by marking people in the human world for Death. She carries a book that was given to her by Fate that denotes when everyone is supposed to die, though Death and Anna are very, very far behind.

[Full Name]: Sloth
[Age]: Oldest out of all the Sins
[Race]: Essence
[Gender]: Male
[Preference]: ?
[Implement]: Sloth's glasses, though it is a mystery how they change over time with the trends...

- - - - Can't you see? - - - -
- - - - It'll be clear soon enough... - - - -

[Height]: 6'0"
[Weight]: 169 lbs
[Hair Color]: Blonde
[Eye Color]: Light Blue
[Skin Tone]: Pale
[Clothing Style]: Sloth usually dresses very casual. His normal clothing usually consists of some type of a button-up shirt and some nice pants. Enough to be presentable but not so much that it actually takes a lot of effort to think up the combinations.
[Actual Appearance]:

- - - - What, you want more? - - - -
- - - - Let's see what I can make whip up - - - -

[Strengths]: Sloth is very easy going and because of such gets along with pretty much everyone. While Death is away he takes on the leadership of the Sins.
[Weaknesses]: What weaknesses he does have he hides well.
[Likes]: Sloth has a fondness for peace and quiet and can often be seen in the garden gazing at the clouds. He is also very fond of all of his companions.
[Dislikes]: Unlike a lot of the other Sins, Sloth can put up with Chaos's antics to an extent. However, he does not like anyone who goes out of their way to make trouble for him or the other Sins. (Chastity, Saint, etc.)
[Goals]: Sloth's only goal seems to be keeping the other Sins in line and enjoying his time.
[Fears]: Sloth's fears all have to do with the well-being of the other Sins. Since he is the oldest, he is content with the current Sins and wishes to keep them that way.
[Personality]: Sloth is laid-back, moreso than even Death. He is also quicker to anger than the age-old essence, though even this is a rare feat. Most of the time he is easy-going and content.

[Full Name]: Lust
[Age]: Youngest of the Sins. Appears to be in her twenties.
[Race]: Essence
[Gender]: Female
[Orientation]: ?
[Implement]: Lust's implement is the bright yellow bell that hangs from her neck.

- - - - Can't you see? - - - -
- - - - It'll be clear soon enough... - - - -

[Height]: 5'9"
[Weight]: 135 lbs
[Hair Color]: Light Violet
[Eye Color]: Goldenrod
[Skin Tone]: Medium-fair
[Clothing Style]: Despite the fact that she's Lust, she doesn't tend to flaunt her sex appeal. She's usually found in pretty normal clothing - camisoles or t-shirts plus jeans is a very common combination for her.
[Actual Appearance]:

- - - - What, you want more? - - - -
- - - - Let's see what I can make whip up - - - -

[Strengths]:
[+] Stands up for Pride and the other Sins
[+] Very resilient
[Weaknesses]:
[-] Stubborn
[-] New to being a Sin
[Likes]:
[+] Coffee
[+] Pride's company
[Dislikes]:
[-] Chaos
[-] Envy (He annoys Pride and therefore annoys Lust)
[Goals]:
[=] Try to follow the rules
[=] Beat Sloth in a game of checkers
[Fears]:
[=] Being kicked from the Sins
[=] Chaos (Sort of, since Chaos has a tendency to pick on her)
[Personality]: Lust is by far one of the most outspoken Sins (besides Envy) when she feels challenged or threatened. Normally she is smooth and friendly to just about everyone.
[Other Notes]: Lust has a profound attachment to Pride. When she first became a Sin, Pride was the one that showed her around. He let her rest in his own room the first night and failed to show her her own. Because of this, Lust tends to spend more nights in Pride's room than her own. She insists that she knows where it is, though even this is iffy.

[Full Name]: Envy
[Age]: Older than Greed and Lust. Appears in his twenties.
[Race]: Essence
[Gender]: Male
[Orientation]: ?
[Implement]: Envy's Implement is a highly decorated carnival mask that he carries with him.

- - - - Can't you see? - - - -
- - - - It'll be clear soon enough... - - - -

[Height]: 5'11"
[Weight]: 157 lbs
[Hair Color]: Dark purple
[Eye Color]: Light Blue
[Skin Tone]: Medium
[Clothing Style]: Envy always dresses in very colorful clothes. They differ day by day, but he does have a red jacket that he prefers to wear over his other colorful creations.
[Actual Appearance]:

- - - - What, you want more? - - - -
- - - - Let's see what I can make whip up - - - -

[Strengths]:
[+] Sly
[+] Always has the lowdown on... well, everything.
[Weaknesses]:
[-] Often takes things a little too far
[-] Easily annoyed

[Dislikes]:
[-] Pride
[-] Chastity
[Goals]:
[=] Win Lust's attention
[=] Find out allll about all the other Sins' pasts.
[Fears]:
[=] Being lonely.
[Personality]: Envy can be a very snide fellow when he wants to be. (Mostly when Pride is around) He alwyas has to have the last word in an argument and likes to flaunt whatever gossip he hears around. He can be a real annoyance, but he knows where his loyalties lie - if the Sins are ever in trouble he'll pitch in with his all to help.
[Other Notes]: Envy has a grudge against Pride, almost entirely because of his relationship with Lust. Because of this, he seeks to compete with him in most things and often gets on both Lust and Pride's nerves.

- - - - Don't go and strain yourself, now - - - -

[Full Name]: Chaos
[Age]: Who knows? Some say he's older than both Life and Death, but no one really bothers to ask.
[Race]: Essence
[Gender]: Male
[Orientation]: ?
[Implement]: N/A

- - - - Can't you see? - - - -
- - - - It'll be clear soon enough... - - - -

[Height]: 5'7"
[Weight]: 140 lbs
[Hair Color]: Light Green
[Eye Color]: No one really knows, his eyes are always covered.
[Skin Tone]: Pale
[Clothing Style]: Chaos wears a mostly black jacket and pants, decorated with an obscene amount of buckles.
[Actual Appearance]:

- - - - What, you want more? - - - -
- - - - Let's see what I can make whip up - - - -

[Strengths]: Since Chaos is Chaos, he has been granted the power to manipulate and toy with beings of the world to... well, to create Chaos. His complete repertoire of powers is unknown, but some of them include teleportation, transformation of both him and others and manipulation of people or other objects.
[Weaknesses]: Chaos gets a bad rap because he is Chaos. His fun and games are not nearly as funny to the other Essences as they are to hi, and he is often a scapegoat for just about everything.
[Likes]:
[+] Causing trouble
[+] Toying with Lust
[+] Kitties
[Dislikes]:
[-] Being cooped up in his prison
[Goals]:
[=] Throw the universe into absolute and utter chaos! >D
[=] Obtain a 'Get out of jail free' card
[Fears]:
[=] Boredom
[Personality]: Chaos often acts like a little child when he is making trouble. He has a facade of innocence that covers up his ill intentions, though every once in a while he shows a hint of maliciousness.
[Other Notes]: Chaos has been locked away in between dimensions by Life and Death. Officially, he is Death and the Sins' responsibility should he ever escape, though most of the time it takes all available essences to keep him under wraps.

[Full Name]: Evangeline Ascentia
[Nickname]: Ziggi, Zig
[Age]: Appears
[Race]: Shade
[Gender]: Female
[Orientation]: Straight

- - - - Can't you see? - - - -
- - - - It'll be clear soon enough... - - - -

[Height]: 5'3"
[Weight]: 115 lbs
[Hair Color]: Blonde
[Eye Color]: Pale Yellow
[Skin Tone]: Fair
[Clothing Style]: She normally wears the red and black uniform that Caius had made. She does own a few pairs of more casual clothes though she hardly ever wears them. Half of them are probably too small.
[Actual Appearance]:
Caius is on the left, Zig on the right.

- - - - What, you want more? - - - -
- - - - Let's see what I can make whip up - - - -

[Strengths]: When it comes down to fighting nightmares, Zig is very strong, despite her size. She also has the power to channel and control electricity at a whim. Zig is always very reckless and this lends power to her already enormous strength.
[Weaknesses]: Zig is very impatient and often will charge right into things without so much as a thought. Half of the time this ends up getting her into a situation that Caius has to get her out of, though sometimes she gets lucky.
[Likes]:
[+] Killin' stuff
[+] Her partner
[+] Dreams
[Dislikes]:
[-] Being hungry
[-] Being alone
[-] Being bored
[Goals]:
[=] Get so many dreams that she never has to go hungry
[=] Find all of Caius's stashes
[Fears]:
[-] Thunderstorms
[Personality]: Zig is a very brash person and won't hesitate to speak what's on her mind. When it comes to Caius, she tones it down a bit, but just a little. Her personality very much reflects her fighting style.
[Other Notes]: Zig and Caius are nightmare hunters and use dreams as their sustainance. They hunt down nightmares and 'trade' their services for the dreams of the person having said nightmare.

[Full Name]: Inaan Le Skowe
[Nickname]: N/A
[Age]: Twenty-seven
[Race]: Human
[Gender]: Female
[Profession]: Thief
[Orientation]: Bisexual

- - - - Can't you see? - - - -
- - - - It'll be clear soon enough... - - - -

[Height]: 5'10"
[Weight]: 146 lbs
[Hair Color]: Silver
[Eye Color]: Red
[Skin Tone]: Dark Tan
[Clothing Style]: Inaan hardly wears anything that isn't functional for her profession. Usually she sticks to white clothes elegant enough to allow her to blend in but not fancy enough to impede her movement at all. She also wears a belt that contains a lot of her handy tools.
[Actual Appearance]:

- - - - What, you want more? - - - -
- - - - Let's see what I can make whip up - - - -

[Strengths]: Inaan is extremely agile. She is incredibly experienced at evading captors and doesn't do too bad in close combat with knives. She's quite charming as well. She also usually has a whole bag of tricks she can rely on.
[Weaknesses]: Aside from her agility and skills with knives, Inaan is not very good in combat. She also has a tendency to be a loner because of the nature of her job.
[Likes]:
[+] Blake
[+] Knives
[+] Other misc. shinies
[+] Ankir (Her snake)
[+] Spicy foods
[Dislikes]:
[-] Most men
[-] Anna and Bolton
[-] Staying in one spot too long
[Goals]:
[=] Tail Blake around, at least for the time being.
[=] Make it back to Dandj (eventually)
[=] Catch mice for Ankir
[Fears]:
[-] Certain nightmares
[-] Being responsible for Dandji deaths
[Personality]: Inaan is smooth when she needs to be and witty when she doesn't. She's always finding something new to find amusement in, though most of the time its because of the people around her. She doesn't have a problem with getting serious when the situation gets dire, but once the danger has passed she slips back into her witty demeanor.
[Other Notes]: Like many thieves that frequent the lands, Inaan grew up in the desert city of Dandj. The humble city in the midst of the desert exists on one principle - The elders of the town train the young to be the best thieves in the land and in return, when these thieves come of age they are sent to other lands and cities to bring back all manner of goods to Dandj. This is the code that the Dandji Thieves live by.

This is no exception for Inaan. As she owes her training and upbringing to the Dandji, so must she give most of the goods that she steals. Of course, that's not saying that certain things might be set aside and forgotten about until the collection time passes...

Inaan is also searching for a certain relic, though only whispers of the past seem to want to provide the young thief any information about that which she seeks.
