Added DiffLines:

* ChaoticEvil: The Vorshes and Drip from ''Webcomic/{{Jack|DavidHopkins}}'', representing [[SevenDeadlySins the sins of Gluttony and Lust]], respectively.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[Music/{{Mothy}} Hansel and Gretel]] (the originals). They release the SevenDeadlySins on the world from [[SelfMadeOrphan their adoptive mother's]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext corpse]], and we never know what happened to them after that, or why the heck they did it. Next we see them, they've reincarnated as [[ExtremeOmnivore Conchita]]'s servants.
* Anime.DevilmanCrybaby: Some of the characters represent a certain sin, and said sin ends up being their undoing. '''This example on the work page includes a list of all the sins.'''
* Characters.CKCOriginals: Represents {{Greed}}. His entire chest is made from the Maw of Greed - the direct conduit to the raw essence of Greed and he even gains energy from his opponent's greedy/selfish acts. WordOfGod is that the representative of pride killed his mother.


Added DiffLines:

* Characters.{{Sins}}: The focus of the comic, they are the [[AnthropomorphicPersonification Anthropomorphic Personifications]] of the SevenDeadlySins.
* DarthWiki.DeathSeed: the Pale Knight, Arro/the Void, Myriot, the Flower Child, the Scarlet Lady, the Woman in the Mirror, and the Bronzesmith are Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, Greed, Lust, and Sloth respectively. '''I guess?'''


Added DiffLines:

* Music.SoundHorizon: The seven dead princesses' are based on this, from gluttony, greed, envy, sloth, pride, lust, ending on wrath.


Added DiffLines:

* VideoGame.CriminalGirls: Each girl represents one, though some are less obvious than others. '''This example on the work page includes a list of all the sins.'''


Added DiffLines:

* Webcomic.{{Heartcore}}: According to WordOfGod, [[http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=heartcore#/d4ag2zq Ame and the six overfiends each represent a Deadly Sin]]; Ame is [[UnstoppableRage Wrath]], [[BigBad Royce]] is [[BigEater Gluttony]], [[HornyDevil Asmodai]] is {{Lust}}, Emerald is [[GreenEyedMonster Envy]], [[TheStarscream Slade]] is {{Greed}}, Goristro is {{Pride}}, and [[PlayingWithFire Carval]] is Sloth.


Added DiffLines:

* WebOrigina.{{Mortasheen}}: DeliberatelyDifferentDescription: The pages for the various monsters generally have elaborate descriptions of their backstories and abilities. This includes the seven "Devilbirds", which have characteristics based on the SevenDeadlySins. The exception is the Devilbird of Sloth (depicted as an unhatched egg), which has only a single sentence: "The Devilbird of Sloth doesn't do anything."


Added DiffLines:

* Characters.BerserkGriffifthFemto: His {{Pride}} is the most obvious but Griffith manages to be a ''nasty'' combination of all seven of them: '''All of this feels like sin-assigning'''
** Cares only to get as much power as he can and him alone, and betrays his followers so he can get a second shot at gaining a kingdom (Greed)
** Betrays all his men to the Godhand in a fit of rage after finding out that they can move on without him, and also rapes Casca in that same fit of rage (Wrath)
** As Guts points out, Griffith won't stop at just gaining a country; he is addicted to performing all these heroic acts because it glorifies his ego and will always want more (Lust)
** Has his men do most of his dirty work (Sloth)
** Just as with Lust, Guts points out that he won't stop at just getting a country; he will ''always'' crave higher goals to feed his ever-growing ego, which was probably why [[spoiler: he cracked open the astral plane and fused it with the physical world, turning an already CrapsackWorld into a literal HellOnEarth, so that his rule that is Falconia will ultimately consume the whole world, making him the sole ruler]] (Gluttony)
** Has displayed intensely jealous behavior towards Guts and Casca, and rapes the latter to spite the former for having dared leave the Band of the Hawks upon becoming Femto (Envy)


Added DiffLines:

* Literature.CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory: Augustus is Gluttony, Violet is Pride, Veruca is Greed (with a touch of Envy, in that she covets many things Mr. Wonka has in his factory, culminating in the Nut Room misadventure), and Mike is Sloth, creating some convenient {{Aesop}}s. In the 2005 film, 2010 opera, and 2013 musical, Mike also embodies Anger/Wrath (loves violent shows or video games in all three versions, wants to be a SociopathicSoldier in the opera, and is an EnfantTerrible in the musical). Violet embodies both Pride and Sloth in the 2013 musical (she becomes a celebrity only because her Greedy father hypes up her "talent" of chewing a piece of gum for a long time). In the 2005 film, Mrs. Beauregarde even shows hints of Lust for Willy Wonka (keep in mind, he ''is'' played by Creator/JohnnyDepp). '''Too nebluous to really be intented, IMO'''


Added DiffLines:

* HellIsWar: A number of punishments for '''[[SevenDeadlySins Wrathful]]''' [=SOULs=] in ''Videogame/Afterlife1996'' are like this, but the ultimate punishment is "[[ShoutOut War! (What is it Good For?)]]," where the damned fight a perpetual war as they are revived shortly after being killed.


Added DiffLines:

* TabletopGame.JanusThePersona: Four, actually. Each Epitome represents one.


Added DiffLines:

* VideoGame.{{Avarice}}: Not to be confused with the '''[[SevenDeadlySins Deadly Sin]]''', which is under {{Greed}}.

* Literature.RachelGriffin: The children are told that demons are often obsessed with one, which can be an exploitable flaw.


Added DiffLines:

* Recap.CornerGasS5E07BuzzDriver: GhostInTheMachine: Emma offers to make Brent a four-cheese lasagna in exchange for doing chores around the house. Brent is very conflicted, and says that his [[SevenDeadlySins Gluttony is fighting with his Sloth]]. Cut to a black void with two Brents arguing.


Added DiffLines:

* Film.DeepRising: The villainous mercenary group seems to be made up of this: Vivo is always talking about food (Gluttony), T. Ray threatens with violence all the time (Wrath), Mamooli talks about his desire to have sex with women from every country (Lust), Jason Flemyng says that the group will "kick ass and take names" as well as taunts a monster and claims it is nothing (Pride), Hanover is paranoid, distrustful and later [[spoiler:ends up shooting at someone who is going to live and not him in a TakingYouWithMe attempt]] (Envy), Mason is seen stuffing money into his pockets (Greed) and Billy complains about all the work he has to do (Sloth). '''Seems to be?'''
* SelfDemonstrating.SquidwardTentacles: {{Wrath}}, yes. Maybe {{pride}}, but you try not being angry when you're SurroundedByIdiots (see below).

Added DiffLines:

* Characters.FinalFantasyVI: He relates to Terra a story that is based on Pandora's Box, and the evils unleashed from it when it was opened were the SevenDeadlySins (minus Lust and Gluttony). Aside from combining Greek and Christian mythos, the stories of Pandora's Box never specified its contents beyond evils both emotional and physical (like disease and illness).[[note]]The Greeks ''did'' have a "proto-version" of the Seven Deadly Sins, the Eight Evil Thoughts, but Envy wasn't one of them and they still had nothing to do with Pandora's Box[[/note]]


Added DiffLines:

* QuirkyMinibossSquad.VideoGames: ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' has the Seven Sisters of Purgatory, a team of [[RedEyesTakeWarning red-eyed]] {{Ms Fanservice}}s with NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast, each representing one of the SevenDeadlySins. Although they commit numerous murders, they're also just playful sisters that later [[spoiler:are summoned by the protagonist's sister, Ange, as her only remaining friends.]] One of them lets the protagonist chase her around for stealing his breakfast, so "quirky" is a good word for it. [[spoiler: They also like to [[ImTakingHerHomeWithMe smother]] Maria's stuffed lion-turned Sakutaro]]. Later on [[spoiler:the Chiesters appear]]. And then [[spoiler:the Eiserne Jungfrau show up]].


Added DiffLines:

* VideoGame.PhantomOfTheKill: Belphegor, Mammon, Asmodius, Beelzebub, Leviathan, Lucifer, and Satan (representing Sloth, Greed, Lust, Gluttony, Envy, Pride, and Wrath respectively. Each one is portrayed as being powered up by their retrospective '''[[SevenDeadlySins Seven Deadly Sins]]'''.


Added DiffLines:

* WesternAnimation.RaggedyAnneAndAndyAMusicalAdventure: Captain Contagious falls in ''lust'' with Babette at first sight and promptly kidnaps her. The Greedy physically embodies both ''greed'' and ''gluttony.'' King Koo Koo ''envies'' taller kings, so to compensate he literally puffs himself up with ''pride'' by laughing at others. Gazooks the sea monster is full of ''sloth'' when first introduced and has to be extorted to do anything. And when Babette realizes she may have to go back to Marcella, she becomes full of ''wrath.'' '''What is this based on?'''


Added DiffLines:

* GoddamnBats.TheLegendOfZelda: Keese often let out a Rupee when defeated in the Game Boy games. For '''[[SevenDeadlySins greedy]]''' players, this gets endlessly frustrating when the rupees end up three tiles into a cave wall.

Added DiffLines:

* Manga.MuhyoAndRoji: One of the envoys uses this theme, attacking with seven barrels that each possess a certain animal on them and correspond to one of the sins.


Added DiffLines:

* Recap.TheStolenCenturyChapterSix: The IPRE crash-land onto a planet where four stone judges proceed to judge all of them (minus Lucretia, who escaped) for their past and future crimes, naming the Seven Deadly Sins as their main faults.


Added DiffLines:

* VideoGame.DragonFable: In the Tomix saga, there is a spirit for each of the SevenDeadlySins, accidentally relased by him and created from Pandroa..


Added DiffLines:

* Neopets.TropesPlotsAndEvents: [[spoiler:The endgame bosses for each different faction in War of the Obelisk, which also represent the fears of their leaders.]] However, this is not played completely straight; due in part to Neopets being "family-friendly". Lust is understandably excluded, but Gluttony is oddly replaced as well. [[spoiler:Though the "Death" boss that takes the place of Gluttony also has elements of Cupid as well, so you never know…]] '''I... don't recall this actually being a thing? Though I could just be entirely wrong.'''
* PlayingWith.AHellOfATime: Character goes to hell, doesn't suffer the torments, uses the pit of eternal fire to keep his feet warm, has a party with the SevenDeadlySins. '''Uses it as though they're sentient? It's a Playing With page, though, so it's at least expected to be somewhat comedic...'''


Added DiffLines:

* Pantheon.{{Words}}: Purification, Baseball Paraphernalia, '''[[SevenDeadlySins Pride]]''', Specters
* ReferencedBy.ArsGoetia: ''TabletopGame/MageTheAwakening'' features goetic demons, embodiments of a character's own Vice that can be given form in order to divest them of unsavory impulses... but that means there's a primal incarnation of Vice walking about. One [[PrestigeClass Legacy]], the Clavicularius, draws heavily upon the Ars Goetia and works to draw power from their Goetic demons while keeping them tightly bound. Another Legacy, the Bene Ashmedai, [[MrViceGuy let their base instincts have a measure of free rein]] and gain power through '''[[SevenDeadlySins excess]]'''. The latter legacy is a splinter faction of the former, and they tend not to get on well.
* SelfDemonstrating.PantyAnarchy: Lust isn't a fucking sin for me.
* Theatre.KuroToShiro: The Fallen Angels embody these.
* Toys.LivingDeadDolls: The dolls of Series 7 exemplify them.

SevenDeadlySins is a trope meant to be about the usage and discussion of the sins within a work. It's often used for things like assigning characters to the sins even when it's not intended by the narrative. We will also check to see if the examples misuse proper indentation format by listing the sin-subtropes below it, in a separate half of the wick check.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment.LiveActionFilms: Detective Mills' establishing moment arguably comes not long after the research montage: after spending most of the night working on the case, he's then sent a package of library books on the SevenDeadlySins by his partner... whereupon Mills loses his temper, refers to [[Literature/TheDivineComedy Dante]] as a "[[MenAreUncultured poetry-writing faggot piece of shit]]," and starts throwing books around the inside of his car.
* Film.{{Metropolis}}: Fake Maria is seen as the epitome of this. Statues of the seven deadly sins are shown and even animated during a dream sequence, while she sits on top of a statue of a seven-headed dragon.
* Manga.{{Servamp}}: The entire theme of the Servamps.
* PlayingWith.RightlySelfRighteous: Bob runs down a list of the SevenDeadlySins and asks what Alice thinks of them. Alice proclaims that she is above them all...until he gets to {{Pride}}. [[FreakOut Cue abject horror on Alice's part.]]
* Recap.{{Roommates}}: Referenced by the title of the page [[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-531-Sloth-and-Envy-598132895 Sloth and Envy]].
* Roleplay.TheWorstPantheon: [[spoiler:Azathoth]] summons a group of them as enemies for the Gods, however all but one are killed before the fight is over.
* TabletopGame.BlueRose: The result of the autumn god's {{mind rape}} and the first evil beings in existence, the [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Exarchs of]] [[DarkIsEvil Shadow]] fully [[EmbodimentOfVice embody a deadly sin]] each.
** Gravicarius (pride)
** Tyrexxus (wrath)
** Ulasta (envy)
** In'nassi (lust)
** Viasta (sloth)
** Yungo (gluttony)
** Mytaxx (greed)
* TabletopGame.{{Ironclaw}}: The standard seven are part of S'allumer doctrine, along with one more: selfishness, with its corresponding virtue, altruism.
* VideoGame.ActRaiser: The demon bosses of the sequel are the personification of the sins, corrupting the people through DemonicPossession. '''Cut out the list of sins because it's too long and not really relevant to the wick check.'''
* VideoGame.{{Witchery}}: '''Goetia''': Expanded demonology, including several more higher demons and a variety of miniboss-tier demons themed after the SevenDeadlySins. Not yet released.
* VideoGame.{{Zombidle}}: Bob ''sleeps off'' often during his rampage of destruction. One of his abilities "Sloth's Form" even references the [[SevenDeadlySins Deadly Sin]], and appropriately enough it gives him an autoclicker-like effect (aka a lazy version of rapid clicking).
* Webcomic.{{Bouletcorp}}: Apparently, being a comics writer [[http://english.bouletcorp.com/2012/04/11/seven/ covers all seven]].
* WebVideo.TheKnightShift: Beginning in episode 4 (aptly titled “Ephellogue”), the series drops fast and heavy hints that the House is really Hell itself: Knight is subjected to continuous torture, both psychological (isolation, mind screws, impossible geometries) and physical (he’s stalked and killed by monsters on a nightly basis -- and even kills ''himself'' on several occasions -- only to revive instantly); Knight lampshades the implications, and makes reference to the SevenDeadlySins; he's attacked at one point by a demonic-looking, red-skinned being, and a red-clad figure identifying himself as "Satan" even takes possession of his body and punishes him. In the end, it's revealed that the House isn't simply "Hell", but The Infernous: an Arkn/Dekn prison dimension that serves as an afterlife (of sorts) and inspired the Western religions' concept of Hell. In short, it's both better AND worse.

[[folder:Unintended "sin assignments"]][[folder:Likely unintended "Sin Assigning"]]
* WesternAnimation.{{Chowder}}: Seven of the show's core cast are representative of each sin: '''Based on what?'''
** Mung Daal, whose swollen ego often hampers his abilities as a chef, represents Pride.
** Chowder, who has an uncontrollable appetite, represents Gluttony.
** Truffles, who has an abrasive temperament, represents Wrath.
** Panini, who is deeply infatuated with Chowder, represents Lust.
** Miss Endive, who is obsessed with triumphing over Mung, represents Greed.
** Gorgonzola, who holds a one-sided rivalry against Chowder, represents Envy.
** Gazpacho, who is controlled by his mother but does very little to improve himself, represents Sloth.
