Okay, so everyone here has been a lot of help with my story so far, so I figured I'd seek the playground's help again with it.
A tiny little bit of backstory: Satan's son, the Antichrist, is the main villain in the first "half" of the story. Satan himself needs a much larger portal to get through the dimensional wall between Hell and Earth than normal Demons, so he sires children on Earth through Demon hax to get the job done. In the second "half" of the story, it'll be revealed Satan had 7 more children than just the Antichrist, each one based off of one of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Now for the power set of these demons, I figured I'd give each of them a power that was sort of the opposite of the sin they represent.
Here is what I have so far:
Lust: Transforms into a loved one of it's enemy, especially if this person is dead already. Is the opposite of Lust because instead of the opponent feeling sexual attraction, they'll be sort of repelled, and be unable to fight Lust as a result.
Sloth: Is exceptionally fast, especially when it comes to fighting. Is the opposite of Sloth because instead of being lazy and doing things slowly, it would be able to get the job done quickly.
Wrath: Has incredibly powerful attacks, that will typically end the opponent in one or two hits. Is the opposite of Wrath because instead of making the opponent suffer, it ends them quickly, in a sort of merciful manner.
Envy: Has a sort of pseudo reality altering ability to mess with the opponent's mind. Shows something the opponent greatly fears, and/or least desires. If they fear it, they aren't going to envy it.
Pride: Similar to Envy, but shows something the opponent deeply regrets and/or is greatly ashamed of. You typically don't find Pride in something you regret.
If you have any improvements on the above, or you think of something better, let me know. Now here is what I really need help on:
Greed: I'm thinking maybe similar to Envy and Pride, but instead any important possessions, even intangible ones like a strong friendship with someone, would be lost, but I'm not really sure, and I don't really want to keep repeating myself with their powers.
Gluttony: I don't have a clue what to do for this one.
I'm thinking Envy and Pride are twins, and since there could very easily be overlap with their powers when used on the same opponent at the same time, I kind of like them having those powers. Lust needs to have the ability to take on the appearance of others because the main character's love interest dies in the first half of the story, and this'll be used against him.
Well with all of that said, any and all help would be appreciated.
