So i just watched and fell in love with The Seven Deadly Sins on Netflix. Ive seen all the episodes (except episode 3.5, the "banned" episode from what i hear) and have a pretty good understanding of the Anime. I then though, "This would make a good Roleplay!". So here i am.
Basic, no spoiler run down of the Anime:
10 years before the present, and order of Holy Knights betrayed the kingdom and supposedly killed a Grand-master Holy Knight, as well as slaughtered dozens of Holy Knights in seconds. This led to them go into hiding, and they all received the mark of a beast to represent the sin that they bear. Example: Meliodas, the Dragon sin of Wrath. Today, the Holy Knights have gone corrupt and are trying to take over. Elizabeth, a princess, is searching for the Sins in order to stop the Holy Knights.
This RP would be taking place either during the Holy War when the Holy Knights fought the Demons, or in a separate universe where the Sins don't exist. Or perhaps the RPers are different "iterations" of the Sins- The same sins and beasts, but different personality/appearance/powers/etc. Or something else, maybe. Im open to suggestion if anyone has one.
Interest?

Puella Magi Madoka Magicka is an awesome, feel-good, cutesy anime. You should watch it!
While I have absolutely no clue what this is, besides one abridged episode I watched that was priceless, maybe. Possible interest, if I knew how exactly character sign-up would play out. Honestly, unless this needs me to watch the anime, going in blind might be fun.

Im still trying to work that out. If you want to throw your vote in for what the characters are, i'll further explain the powers and the Sins.
Each Holy Knight is extremely powerful- capable of taking out dozens of humans with ease. They usually with their unique power, which could be almost anything. Examples include Explosion, Rising Tornado, control over insects, it can be nearly anything. It doesnt even have to be lethal- 1 Holy Knight has the ability Link, which allows them to borrow physical strength, durability and the powers of whoever gives them to him willingly. If we were to play as Holy Knights, we'd have to make our own powers. But powers aren't limited to just one technique- take Explosion. It has variations- Shot Bomb, which makes a line of explosive projectiles and fires them, Chain Explosion, which surrounds the target with many stationary explosive projectiles that go off in a chain, and Brilliant Detonation, which is dozens, if not hundreds of explosive projectiles being fired at once after a short charge time. Often times, your personality also reflects on your power- or vice versa. Though not always. The Holy Knight with the Explosion power is usually monotone, calm, cool and collected- the exact opposite of what the power would imply. If we were to play as Holy Knights, we'd either do it in a separate universe where the Sins don't exist and with a different plot, or during the Holy War, when the Holy Knights fought against the Demons and drove them into purgatory.
The 7 Deadly Sins, (Wrath, Envy, Greed, Sloth, Lust, Gluttony, and Pride) or the Sins for short, are extremely powerful Holy Knights. Each is branded with a beast on a different place on their body that represents their sin. Their sin is usually appropriate or ironic. Ban's sin, Greed is appropriate because his ability is based on taking an opponent's equipment as well as draining their stamina, power and speed. Gowther's sin, Lust is ironic because he strangely has no emotions whatsoever. Each Sin also has a Sacred Treasure, which is best explained by a quote. "Look at this lake. This represents all the magical power available to a Holy Knight or Sin at any time. Now, with your hands, how much could you take out at once?... With a Sacred Treasure, you're able to take out extraordinary amounts of magical energy in one go." If we were to play as the Sins, we'd be completely different iterations- different takes on the same base idea.
There are also a few different races, which i'll list off real quick:
Demon: Usually very large, unintelligent beasts who crave destruction. A very few can actually take human form as a child (around 10-12), and act very much like humans. Little is known about the Demon race otherwise.
Druid: Very similar to humans, but their tears can heal grievous wounds and possibly revive the dead. They're also direct counters to people with Demonic powers.
Humans: Standard humans.
Witches: Very little is known about witches. They're a sub-race of Humans, and have an inherit connection to magic similar to Holy Knight's magic, but thats it.
Fairies: They look like little kids (8-12) and don't age. They also MIGHT have an innate connection to SOME magic, but this isn't concrete. Also, they can float and fly at will without wings.
Giants: Develop extremely slowly and have a slight magical connection to the earth and rocks, being able to create golem servants while children.
Doll: A very unique and rare race, little is known. They're artificial, and can revive from wounds fatal to humans (A stab to the heart, decapitation (The only Doll in 7DS literally carried his severed head in search of his glasses.).).
This is a ton of info that probably should have been in the OP, sorry. Still interested?

I'm interested in the premise, though I'm leaning slightly towards the setting being during the Holy War. Mostly because if each sin is unique(i.e. there's only one sin per character), then players might be locked into an aspect they might not want to play. Or maybe we'd be playing a renegade band of Holy Knights who oppose the current corrupt Holy Knights. Either way, count me in. I've got a hankering for an anime RP recently.

Nice to see interest, but i want you to clarify. Being "locked into an aspect they might not want to play", wouldn't that be the same if we were holy knights? We'd be locked in as the characters we applied as. The sin your branded with usually has something to do with your background and personality but thats it. Im not quite sure i understand you. Also, the Sins are a renegade group of Holy Knights that opposed the Holy Knights. They're just extremely powerful Holy Knights.

Ah, my bad. I was under the impression that there's only one person per sin(1 greed, 1 pride, etc.). While you're correct that Holy Knights would also be locked into an aspect they might not want to play(they select a power, then they choose a personality based on that), I thought it would be more evident for the sins as I thought there is only 1 person per sin, thus if someone wanted to play Greed but it was already selected, then they'd have to go for another sin.
In either case, I'd probably join. Thanks for the clarifications.

Actually, the group called "the seven deadly sins" Consists of 7 members, each of one sin. I'm afraid you were right the first time. Though we don't need all seven sin slots to be filled- we could just have 4 or 5 and have the rest be Holy Knights if their preferred sin was taken.

Ah, makes sense. Oh well, the fact that we can still sign up as a holy knight that isn't a sin does appeal to me. Consider me interested.

Despite only 2 people being interested, i'll start up an OOC. That may draw some more people to check it out, and in turn, cause people to apply. I'll post the link once it's up.

Interesting. I'd have to take some time to determine exactly what race though.
