THE KEYS OF THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS

The Pride Key The Avarice Key The Envy Key The Wrath Key
The Lust Key The Gluttony Key The Sloth Key

 
The explanation behind these Keys:

To spice up the Keyfiction Mailing List, a pair of troublemakers (just kidding - you guys are great) named Hyakinthus and Tenchi Kaze proposed an interesting experiment: to create Key descriptions based on the Seven Deadly Sins. These Keys would be unofficial (though they are considered Open - if you would like to write a fic with them, feel free!) and could be as dark, twisted or nasty as desired.

The resulting Key descriptions may be posted to the Mailing List. Discussion of these Keys is encouraged! Everyone is free to train as many of these Keys as they would like and send them to the list.

Please note: This is not a competition, challenge, or official game. It is simply for fun! I'm archiving the descriptions because I thought they would be interesting for visitors to read, so they can see the different sorts of characters that people come up with, for the same Key.

*New!* All the great pictures drawn with these Keys can now be found in: The Sins Keys Gallery

 

The Keys of Pride

The Key of Pride Description by Casey (wmckenzie@bigpond.com)
"Hokoritakai is a very warm and caring person and holds his hair on a practical pedestal and does not let anyone touch it, he despises people who try to brush it, comb it with his fingers or cut it off. The last person who tried ended up with his small intestines hung upon the chandelier in the middle of the main room."

 
The Key of Pride Description by Soulless One (dark_death88@yahoo.com)
"...he didn't want to be the one who cried and begged for more. He wanted to be the one who made them beg. He wanted to be the one on top, the one in control..."

 
The Key of Pride Description by Sapphire (ao_tsubasa@yahoo.com)
"He is well aware that he is not a highly valued key in the Palace and he is determined to become one. This becomes a catch-22 for poor Aidan as his pride prevents him from being quiet and polite and thus bars him from his ultimate goal of being one of the best keys in the Palace."

 
The Key of Pride Description by Tenchi Kaze (tenchikaze@gmail.com)
"Charon is a good shot and he knows it. In fact, if you aren't on his target list, he will most likely be talking your ear off about how good he is with a gun. He brags about every aspect of it from being able to hit a dime from 100 yards, right down to being able to switch the safety off in less than a millisecond."

 
The Key of Pride Description by Timber Wolf (timberwolfcanada@hotmail.com)
"The Pride Key is unique in that its door opens to reveal a group of three young men, roughly similar in appearance."

 
The Key of Pride Description by Moonshadow D'tarth
"His eyes are grey and somewhat narrow. His facial structure is everything that can be described as "aristocratic" and his expression is normally what one would call "haughty.""

 

The Keys of Avarice

The Key of Avarice Description by Tenchi Kaze (tenchikaze@gmail.com)
"Ve seems to have some sort of obsession with sound, especially voices. He has almost no appreciation for anything visual... and instead focuses on the auditory."

 
The Key of Avarice Description by Melayne (melayneseahawk@hotmail.com)
"When a Master is there, Madje will jump at the Master absorbing as much color as he can. He long ago absorbed the color from the room and thirsts for more colors to absorb before falling into the lethargy that drives him to hide in the corner until another Master buys his Key."

 
The Key of Avarice Description by Timber Wolf (timberwolfcanada@hotmail.com)
"He tends to be rather manipulative, working his position to earn himself as many gifts from his Masters as he possibly can. His over-riding concern is and always has been his own survival and comfort."

 
The Key of Avarice Description by Moonshadow D'tarth
"He soon came to view humans as something that existed for his convenience. Every time he wanted something he just asked one of those handy parent things or that nanny person and voila!"

 

The Keys of Envy

The Key of Envy Description by Tenchi Kaze (tenchikaze@gmail.com)
"Now Blackberry... He isn't insane exactly. Just... not really in the right state of mind. He is obsessed with his brother Roseberry, and would never go far apart from him for anything in the world."

 
The Key of Envy Description by bloody hibiscus (bloody_hibiscus@yahoo.com)
"He is mostly used as a slave for abuse and rape. Masters will take their personal frustrations out on him, spurred by his unachievable perfection."

 
The Key of Envy Description by Timber Wolf (timberwolfcanada@hotmail.com)
"His hair is long, mid-back in length. Primarily indigo in colour, it ranges under the sunlight from the deepest royal blue, to a bright shining violet."

 
The Key of Envy Description by Moonshadow D'tarth
"Diego is very exacting and possessive. If he feels he's not being treated as well as others or being shown as much attention, he'll interrupt whatever interaction is going on in whatever way most assures that the attention is on him."

 

The Keys of Wrath

The Key of Wrath Description by Hyakinthus (hyakinthus@hotpop.com)
"Chestnut locks are hacked off as short as he can, spiking in all directions. With feral, amber eyes, sharp features, a lithe build and supple muscles he has all the grace and poise of a wild cat."

 
The Key of Wrath Description by Casey (wmckenzie@bigpond.com)
"When they first placed him in his own room, it was the middle of winter, thus the heaters were on, keeping the palace warm. Ikari nearly killed himself trying to get out and into the cold, he did succeed, but fell two stories and landed on another Key."

 
The Key of Wrath Description by Alice Montrose (alicemontrose@yahoo.com)
"Bought from them by the Palace as a 'decorative' black panther, he was initially locked up in a silver cage in the Palace garden. After about two months or so, the staff found a beautiful (and naked) young man in the cage, instead of the feline they had been accustomed to."

 
The Key of Wrath Description by Tenchi Kaze (tenchikaze@gmail.com)
"There was a group of people who didn't like the way Keetah was shaping up, and were dreading the day he would rule the kingdom. So, one day, they left out a trail of Friskies for Keetah to find, and at the end of the trail was an oversized cat carrier. Since they were the good kind of Friskies, Keetah naturally followed the trail and ended up caught."

 
The Key of Wrath Description by Kiale (sborths@yahoo.com)
"He has long black and grey hair, always messy as it is never combed. He has a stubbled grey beard, and red eyes that tend to glow; adding to his scruffy, half-wild appearance."

 
The Key of Wrath Description by Timber Wolf (timberwolfcanada@hotmail.com)
"Still, Franc exudes sexuality. The slightest tilt of his head, an arched brow, the tiniest curve of his lip, his smouldering heavy-lidded glances, the smallest thrust of his hips... all scream promises to his slack-jawed drooling Masters of the delights they will find in Franc's embrace."

 
The Key of Wrath Description by Moonshadow D'tarth
"His skin is pale, decorated in the back with a Japanese styled tattoo of a volcano."

 

The Keys of Lust

The Key of Lust Description by Sapphire (ao_tsubasa@yahoo.com)
"Because of his exotic appearance, the trainers were desperate to get him into a room and they began inserting a highly potent aphrodisiac into his food and drink. It puts him into a frenzy of lust."

 
The Key of Lust Description by Hyakinthus (hyakinthus@hotpop.com)
"He's been known to sprout horns, hooves, a demonic tail and wings on occasions but then that might just be a trick of the light - yeah right."

 
The Key of Lust Description by Tenchi Kaze (tenchikaze@gmail.com)
"Adam was developed by Palace scientists as part of a project to create "the perfect Key." After three years of research and development, the result was a robot that possessed all the desirable attributes of the most popular Keys in the Palace."

 
The Key of Lust Description by Timber Wolf (timberwolfcanada@hotmail.com)
"Caleb's personality might best be described as smug, and sexually aggressive. He knows well what being around him does to a Master, and he delights in turning the tables on them."

 
The Key of Lust Description by Moonshadow D'tarth
"Despite the fact it's normally held by girls and he's male, Incubus is the poster child for the Electra complex."

 

The Keys of Gluttony

The Key of Gluttony Description by Kiale (sborths@yahoo.com)
"When a master told him 'no' for the first time, he screamed so loud and for so long that the palace healers came to the suite, certain somebody was being murdered."

 
The Key of Gluttony Description by Tenchi Kaze (tenchikaze@gmail.com)
"As the trainers began to deny Dally food for days at a time, the boy began to grow slightly insane, the hunger pangs throbbing in his stomach and driving him mad. And on one day when he was 16, on the seventh day of one of his unwilling fasts, he could not take it anymore..."

 
The Key of Gluttony Description by A Steel (granak.rp@verizon.net)
"Upon hitting puberty his metabolism flipped out, he's a glutton by necessity.  To keep his weight steady he eats about three times as much as would be normal.  Fortunately his charms had already gathered him a large enough customer base to justify the expense of feeding him."

 
The Key of Gluttony Description by Timber Wolf (timberwolfcanada@hotmail.com)
"Whether it is considered a gift or curse, Daniel's unique physiology allows him only one source of food that his body can adequately digest and absorb to survive. Semen."

 
The Key of Gluttony Description by Moonshadow D'tarth
"Apparently uncaring about the damage he was doing to the rest of his family, he ate anything he could get his hands on, stealing his siblings' dinners and breaking into the refrigerator between meals (quite a feat given that it was locked)."

 

The Keys of Sloth

The Key of Sloth Description by Tabris 17th (tabris_17th@hotmail.com)
"His favourite pastime is sleeping in the sun in his small garden. His second favourite pastime is sleeping in his bed with the blankets pooled around him. His third favourite pastime is sleeping wherever Palace staff won't find him and wake him up."

 
The Key of Sloth Description by Casey (wmckenzie@bigpond.com)
"Kudaku's key is now on display in the palace foyer, though no one is allowed to own it, it is allowed to be used on some occasions. Most masters will walk into Kudaku's room and turn tail immediately, because sometimes Kudaku will turn, very slowly and stare at them, unblinking until they leave the room."

 
The Key of Sloth Description by Tenchi Kaze (tenchikaze@gmail.com)
"Up in one of the high towers of the Palace, Saskia sleeps his days away, never waking unless he recieves a kiss from his newest Master (though giving him that kiss is no easy task.) And then, he can only be awake for four hours at a time."

 
The Key of Sloth Description by Timber Wolf (timberwolfcanada@hotmail.com)
"He is a simple man, surprisingly accepting of his situation, and holds no anger or bitterness toward his family or anyone else. To Efram, life simply is what it is."

 
The Key of Sloth Description by Moonshadow D'tarth
"Unfortunately his catalepsy has a habit of kicking in at high stress points, so while his episodes are infrequent, they normally start in the middle of sex. He's scared the wits out of several Masters.."
