A webcomic about Anthropomorphic Personifications the seven deadly sins, and the young humans who get their leash.The story practically requires you to read the original sins comic in order to be understandable. The original comic chapters are downloadable from the site.It does not go in order, switching to a different time period each storyline. The seven virtues are also involved, as well as several tarots and a necromancer named Murdoch. Oh, and some golems. Humanoid, evil golems that the sins were previously inhabiting... it's very complicated.Find it here: http://www.sincomics.com/This comic provides examples of:
Badass: Marlowe: Trained and raised by the Tarot, manages to awaken the sins spectacularly, and worms into the hearts of the Virtues despite being kidnapped by Chasity. The guy also deserves a medal for twisting Labor's arm like this.
The Big Guy: Envy and, on the Virtue's team, Labor
In Envy's case this changes since the sins will sometimes step down and choose a successor, so for a time Anger gets to be the big guy since he can pull a Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever whenever he wants
Big Bad: Anger in the original story. Shaping up to be the Lust Golem in Venials.
Anger: Black for original Anger, Blue for Pettiness
Pride: Yellow
Envy: Green for Desire, Black and Orange for Flattery, Black for Jealousy
Greed: Brown
Gluttony: Orange (bright pink or neon green early on) for Craving, Light Blue/Black for Gorging
Cool Down Hug: Balance's hugs are filled with magic, that instantly make anyone except Death feel relaxed. It even worked on Chasity, who because of her namesake, always felt stressed until then.
Cursed with Awesome: As the host for the Sins, you lose your soul...but you get to command around the personifications of the forces of humanity's sins.
A Day in the Limelight: Murdoch got one recently, in which he tried to figure out what Filo was 'up to'. It didn't go well, probably because he's The Chew Toy.
Did Not Do the Research: There are, in fact, a set of seven virtues that are counterparts to the seven deadly sins, but they are called the seven heavenly virtues, not the holy virtues (Which are something else entirely). Also, the heavenly virtues are Chastity, Temperance, Charity, Diligence, Patience, Kindness, and Humility... not Chastity, Fasting, Sharing, Labor, Joy, Contentment, and Modesty as listed in the comic.
Actually more of a combined case of Artistic License with They Just Didn't Care. The virtues here serve more as antagonists than to reflect religious doctrine accurately, and so their names were changed to suit better the characters: Temperance, Charity and Diligence are way too feminine to be guy's names, "Joy" is a straight opposite for Anger, (while we are at it Pip deliberately chose Anger over Wrath because it was a softer word), "Humility" doesn't suit Modesty at all (the guy is such a big jerk) and Envy is such a nice guy that "Kindness" just doesn't work as a proper opposite (in fact they are the most unrelated Sin-Virtue pair).
Even Evil Has Standards: As jerky as the Virtues are, they're not entirely bad. To wit: Joy made no snarky comments for Rhett's funeral in the Addison Arc, much to Content's pleasure, and Labor was set up to interrogate Marlowe since Chasity wasn't having much luck... until he found out he was mute, and was rather put off at the thought of it.
Locked Out of the Loop: Envy had no partaking in the Addison arc and when he found out the other sins had a WHOLE adventure with a host without him two arcs later, he grew to contempt them.
Who's Laughing Now?: Flattery!Envy. He originally thought he was part of the team and put up with their usual joking. But when he found out they went on a WHOLE ADVENTURE WITHOUT HIM, he was reasonably pissed off, and quit without telling the sins. Thus, knowingly causing a disturbance in the world when they were being unlocked again, just to spite them.
