I'm going to share all of my knowledge of the deadly sins with all you people. I'll tell you the lores and saying they've inspired, along with general information. I'll also talk about my characters who are based off them. So, sit back and enjoy.

Hello everyone! Sinny here, hosting yet another installment of the Ten. It has been a long time indeed. The reason being, I wanted a picture of my character for every post. I haven't been drawning for a while, so I'll just update. As with all the other sins, the information is very brief.
Luxuria
(Lust)
1: intense sexual desire or appetite
2: uncontrolled or illicit sexual desire or appetite; lecherousness
3: a passionate or overmastering desire or craving: a lust for power
4: ardent enthusiasm; zest; relish
In the second spot is the sin known as luxuria, the deadly sin of intense desire. Luxuria was simply used to teach children of yesterday about urges. Very simply, don't act on all your urges because you'll regret it later.
Today nearly everyone is a practicer of luxuria. I'm not talking about just the sex drive, I'm talking more about definitions 3 and 4. What person doesn't have a little lust for power? The business world, the enterainment world, that's all lusting after a form of power. Going to college in itself is lusting after a better life. It's only when we tread on others to get that power or that life that luxuria is harmful in that way. Luxuria as a sexual sin usually ends harmfully. I don't think I even need to elaborate that half.
"She is a cow!"
Have you ever wondered where that phrase came from? It came from this sin. The representory animal of luxuria is a cow. Luxuria today is still tied more to the female gender than the male. We females are either the black widows, or the objects of desire. It's not our fault. The representory color of this sin is blue.
Seven of the ten sins have fasinated the masses for centuries. This would be because the sins only became widely known after the Church claimed them. As I've said, I follow the ten not the seven. There are countless books, movies, and television shows about the seven well known sins. There is even a new short serise on television about the seven.
Because I had a picture of my character, Gula, I will say that my character Luxuria is male.
That's it for the update! Thanks for the massive amount of page views. I can't believe how many I got when I haven't updated in nearly a year.

Hello again everyone! It's that update that I said I'd have. It took a few days longer than expected to organize all the research. I've discovered something though, while the deadly sins are centuries and centuries old, the information on them remains brief. Never the less, I give you the information that I know in the easiest way possible.
Gula
(Gluttony)
1: excess in eating and/or drinking
2: greedy or excessive indulgence
In the first of ten spots there is gula, the deadly sin of over-eating. Gula was a way for the people of yesterday to teach their children about proper eating. It's a very quick and to the point sin. Don't pig out, it isn't proper.
Today everybody is a practicer of gula in some way. I know that when I'm pulling an all night movie or TV show marathon with my friends I'll stuff my face. Some things are better with insane amounts of food.
Gula gets the first spot because it is seen as the most unharmful of the ten sins. I guess the kind of gluttony that truly represents gula is when you put your need for food over the needs of others. This makes gula greed related. As time goes on you'll steadily see that all ten deadly sins are interelated.
"He is like a pig!"
I've heard people wonder about the origins of that simple phrase. It falls back to the sin, gula. The representory animal of gula is the pig. Long ago, man was the representory gender. None of the sins are truly gender orianted but when someone thought gula, they thought man. Sorry guys. The color of this sin is orange.
Gula, Legendary from "Odds"
Over the years, seven of the ten sins have gripped writers. Books, TV, movies; countless have been written with some form of the sins. Dante's Inferno, a classic book about seven of the ten sins. Seven, a movie about seven of the ten sins. Fullmetal Alchemist, a television show that has seven of the ten sins as characters. These are just an example of each.
I must be getting to "work". The next sin will be luxuria (lust). This one will take a little more time. If you're a practicer or just hold this one in value, check back here in a week for an update to see when luxuria will be uncovered.
Thanks for stopping in and have a fantasic day/afternoon/night.
Sinny
