Here is an idea about Sloth, feel free to pick my idea part or change it altogether. Sloth could be of medium build with a small amount of flab around his stomach. He could blue(dragon) and yellow(human). He would be lazy and not willing to do anything at all.

I am not sure about the color so if you have any ideas that are better than mine feel free to replace my ideas.

Wow, lots of responses. My foot is doing great Les. I'm not on crutches anymore and can walk around pretty well. I still wear the brace on my foot though.

Thanks for all of the feedback on my sig and book idea. It's appreciated.

I like the ideas you guys have come up with so far. Since you've touched on Wrath, Gluttony, and Sloth, I'll post what I had for them. It'll all probably change, maybe switch it out for some of your ideas, but this is what I came up with for them when I took a little while to write some brief notes about each of the dragon forms. I haven't worked much on the human forms of most of them(I've only really got a decent description of a couple of them), so I'll wait until later to post them.

Wrath - Deep crimson, maybe mixed with darker red even to black that seem to swirl slightly as he moves - The largest of the 7 evil dragons, muscular, fierce, not very quick or smart

Gluttony - Brown - Medium sized, fat, not very smart or muscular Loves eating and is always hungry.

Sloth - Dull gray, maybe mixed with some black for emphasis in areas - Small and thin, weak can be intelligent when it needs to be(for example when it can get him out of doing something).


One thing I was thinking about when I was coming up with the descriptions is that, for some of the sins, there would be a difference between one who was consumed by the sin and one who was trying to tempt others with the sin. The most obvious example of that I think would be Pride. If one is very proud, he is more likely to put down others to satisfy his ego than to try to make them proud themselves. The solution I cam up with in that case is that pride is also self-preserving. By the time the main character comes into contact with Pride, he would see that the main character is going to try to destroy him and thus would have to protect himself. He would do that by appealing to the only thing he knows how, the main character's pride.

Did that make sense? I'm halfway watching TV while I'm typing this lol.

that makes sense. More on the other dragons soon.

I think I would assign the crimson colors to Lust.

Brown is good for Gluttony.

Sloth -- I was thinking a deep dark green.

I know people say green with envy -- but that is too easy.

Envy -- the palest orange with shading of gray. I do not like orange and I don't like envy.

I am thinking about Greed now -- that is a hard one.

Good no crutches --- that must be a relief. Nothing can slow you down now :)

Yes it makes sense and the more we talk about it the more complicated it seems -- as I read my books in the future I am going to have a new appreciation for the work done. I will quit mumbling so much about the cost
of books.

Yes I do believe your signature brought about some very good discussion. That is one of the things I love about Lilbro, all of the great discussions.

I do hope you write this book Oogy -- it is very very promising.

Oogy, Himura is thinking about a USB connector -- could you provide some information about the kind you got and where you got it ? You have been happy with it haven't you ?

For envy, He would always be pining for other's material goods and uncontent. He would be skinny and not sure how tall...mabye a shorter type. He could be a paler color like white with some gray like LES said.

Pride could be tall and youthly. He could be boastful, elitist, and selfish. His color could be golden to signify his prideful nature.

Wrath
Envy
Pride
Gluttony
Lust
Greed
Sloth

Something that I think I shoud mention. Ever heard of the Manga/Anime series Full Metal Alchemist? To make a long explanation short, the main enemies are...Wrath, Envy, Greed, Gluttony, Sloth, Lust...Sooooooooo, you might want to research that a bit if you want to copyright this work. I feel that Hiromu Arakawa and Square Enix might object if you used an idea they copyrighted.

Life is a ride. Pinnit.

Yeah, I've seen FMA. They weren't the ones that thought up the seven deadly sins though. If you want to see some of the other places the seven deadly sins have been used in books, movies, and tv shows, etc, then check out this link 7 Sins In Pop Culture . Besides that, you can't really copyright something like that. Now maybe if I tried to say that their human forms were homunculi(or however it's spelled) that were the creation of people attempting to do human transmutations or something, they would have a case. Thanks for warning me just in case though.

On a different note, FMA is a good anime (I've never read the manga). It's one of the few anime that I like the storyline of.

I think rather than just posting the descriptions I had one at a time, I'm going to go ahead and post the whole list as I had it. Then you can comment on it and talk about any changes you think should be made. Also, I added a bit of an explanation for why I chose each of the colors. I wasn't on my computer much today because it was stormy, so I haven't had a chance to add much to my descriptions for the human forms, so for now it is still just the dragon forms. They are all going to have the powerful desires that come with their particular sin, so I didn't specify that in the descriptions.

Wrath – Deep crimson, maybe mixed with darker red even to black that seem to swirl slightly as he moves (red just seems to symbolize anger and hatred, the swirling colors kind of add to it)– The largest of the 7 evil dragons, muscular, fierce, not very quick or smart


Envy – Green/jade (I almost didn’t say green because it was the obvious choice, but at the same time, I want the colors to have some meaning that relates to that particular dragon) – Small not especially muscular but smart


Pride – Purple(a color that symbolizes royalty and riches) – Large, magnificent, shiny not particularly muscular, not extremely smart, but can be manipulative.


Gluttony – Brown(I’m not really sure how to explain, it just kind of seemed to fit) – Medium sized, fat, not very smart or muscular


Lust – Shades of rich deep blue (deep blue just seems like an alluring color to me) – Large and slender, beautiful, not particularly smart or strong. Uses its breathtaking beauty to its advantage.


Greed – Gold possibly studded with a few jewels (pretty self-explanatory) – Medium sized, not very muscular, very smart and conniving.


Sloth – Dull gray, maybe mixed with some black for emphasis in areas (Sloth seemed like it would be good to have a dull color)– Small and thin, weak can be intelligent when it needs to be(for example when it can get him out of doing something).



As for the USB WiFi adapter, the one I got is called WiFiMAX. It's basically the same thing as the Nintendo version, except that I think Nintendo's one is locked so you can't use it with other devices. For example, I think I would be able to access the WiFi on a PSP or something with my adapter(not that that really does me any good lol). I think the price was about the same though. I just looked around on e-bay and waited until I got a good deal.

Those description sound good to me. I will look into the adapter soon then.
