La tension dans l'air était si épaisse qu'elle était palpable, et le regard vers le bas entre les deux puissances des péchés terrifierait le plus courageux des âmes. Bien sûr, après avoir traité ce genre d'arguments pendant des milliers d'années, Greed savait que les ignorer était la meilleure stratégie. Au pire, ils ne se blesseraient que l'un l'autre. Au lieu de cela, Greed a gardé son attention sur l'écran noir, à la recherche de marques ou de lettres discernantes qui l'identifieraient sur son but. Cette enquête a été écourtée quand l'une des femmes, probablement Lust en considérant ses biens, s'est approchée de Greed et a répondu à son enquête.
"Ça?"
La femme s'est penchée sur le sol et a commencé à fouiller autour, clignotant rapidement et frottant ses yeux. Après plusieurs secondes de recherche, elle se leva avec un étrange dispositif que Greed n'avait pas remarqué auparavant.
"Je ne suis pas sûr, mais essayez de le faire avec ce truc comme voir ce qui se passe. S'il n'arrive rien, ça veut dire que tu n'es pas assez dur. Allez-y vraiment jusqu'à ce que les choses commencent à craquer."
Greed prit doucement l'objet, s'assurant de cacher son sourire. Lust a dû essayer de le faire sortir pour être un idiot. Pourquoi aurait-il déjà piqué quelque chose de si dur qu'il craque? Si ça n'a pas marché avec le moindre des robinets, alors pourquoi un humain l'utiliserait-il? Ce sont des créatures qui sont paresseuses, et qui n'utiliseraient pas une force excessive à moins de devoir... À moins que cet écran ne soit une arme. Doucement, Greed a piqué la surface noire avec la télécommande, et a failli sauter du bruit fort derrière lui.
"Maintenant SILENCE."
Un froid s'est précipité dans la colonne vertébrale de Greed et, pendant plusieurs secondes, il a refusé de faire un bruit. Finalement, cependant, il s'est assommé et a commencé à respirer fortement, étant libéré de l'influence de Pride. C'était l'une de ses parties les moins favorites à son sujet - elle était toujours prête à utiliser ce pouvoir de la sienne, et cela a toujours effectué les gens autour d'elle. Ce n'est que grâce au fait que sa voix n'a pas été dirigée directement vers Greed et leurs milliers d'années ensemble que Greed a pu secouer l'effet si rapidement. L'avidité secoua la tête et retourna à l'écran, se détournant de l'argument qui se déroulait. C'était le moment où l'argument s'arrêterait. Wrath démissionnait, car Pride utilisait toujours son pouvoir quand elle essayait de gagner un argument. Wrath a senti le gros coup de sa voix, donc il a dû trembler dans ses bottes en ce moment. L'objet avait des dizaines de boutons, tous faciles à appuyer et agréables au toucher. Greed lire attentivement le texte sur ou à côté des boutons, et essayé beaucoup jusqu'à ce qu'il soit laissé avec un bouton dans le haut à droite de l'objet. Il était circulaire, étrange vu que la plupart des autres boutons étaient rectangles ou carrés, et était rouge avec un symbole blanc. Le symbole lui-même semblait être un cercle avec une ligne en partie saillant du haut du cercle. Ce bouton a attiré son attention car, contrairement à la plupart des autres boutons, il manquait complètement de texte.
Pendant tout ce temps, la pièce commença lentement à trembler, et Greed trembla dans la peur - Wrath n'était pas debout. Cela ne s'était produit que quelques fois au cours de la longue période de temps que le groupe s'était connu, et c'était toujours sur les plus grandes raisons. Greed savait à la seconde que les mots "Essayez-moi..." échappaient aux lèvres de Wrath, il était temps d'avoir peur. Les éclats de verre tremblèrent légèrement, et Greed précipita immédiatement son travail sur l'écran noir, priant que c'était une arme qu'il pouvait utiliser pour se protéger du combat qui s'ensuivit.
Avec grand soin, Greed a placé la télécommande à plat sur l'écran, et a appuyé sur le bouton d'alimentation, seulement pour que rien ne se produise. Bien sûr qu'il ne se passerait rien, cette chose était inutile! Anglily, Greed a reculé de l'écran, et a pointé la télécommande une fois de plus à l'écran, cette fois à une distance d'environ 5 pieds. Une fois qu'il a appuyé sur le bouton, l'écran noir s'est immédiatement éclairé, révélant un homme dans un costume parlant devant une carte.
"-et il y a une légère chance de pluie cette semaine, avec d'éventuels orages samedi."
Sur l'écran, des pourcentages ont été listés sous des images de nuages de pluie, et l'homme a continué à droner sur et sur le temps. Greed était maintenant à une distance significativement plus loin, et il lui a fallu près de 30 secondes pour réaliser que l'homme qui parlait n'était pas vraiment là. Comment il a réussi à se mettre sur l'écran, Greed n'était pas complètement au courant, mais il ne pouvait évidemment pas voir les démons ou il aurait demandé ce qui était avec le combat qui se passait derrière Greed. Plus que cela, Greed a réfléchi à qui cet homme était - il pourrait prédire le temps, avec une précision incroyable si les pourcentages devaient être crus. Il a dû être un sorcier incroyable pour accomplir un tel exploit...
Plus important encore, Greed était heureux d'avoir la télécommande. Joue avec lui, joue avec le volume et le tourne de haut en bas, comme un enfant avec un nouveau jouet. Cette télécommande était à lui maintenant - il l'a affirmé. Dans le fond de son esprit, derrière la joie d'obtenir une possession nouvelle, Greed espérait que le combat serait dissipé grâce à cet homme apparaissant soudainement sur l'écran.
"Doesn't matter if I'm in hell or on earth - everyone wants something they don't have. I just give them what they want... For a price."

Demon Name: Greed
Adopted Human Name: Darry Kress
Physical Age: 16
Chosen Gender: Male
Appearance: Greed is a fairly attractive young man that seems to be of German descent, standing at 6'1 and weighing 175 lbs. Like some of the other sins, he has fairly outlandish features - mainly blue hair and eyes. He is fairly muscular, but nothing extremely impressive. To be quite honest, besides the hair and eyes, he really doesn't stand out that much. He prefers to wear formal clothing, and has a particular affinity for suits. His voice is deep and kind, the sort of voice you can get lost in.
Personality: Greed is, without a doubt, the easiest sin to commit. All creatures on earth want more, humans especially so. It's in their nature to amass a fortune, to have more than others. Or, at the very least, that is what Greed believes. Greed embodies the very concept of desire, and as a result, always wants a profit. Unlike gluttony who only concerns themselves with primal 'wants', Greed views himself as more refined. He doesn't care for money as much as you would expect - after all, money is just paper. Of course, he loves money since it can buy things, but he prefers things with concrete value. A dollar's value will fade, but gold has always been valuable... and things with personal or emotional value also entice him. He plans to own everything on earth eventually - every person, place, and thing. But you gotta start small...
Greed's desires shift constantly - he could have worked tirelessly to get a new car, but then immediately grow bored and go after something else that catches his interest. Hell, he may even trade the car in a contract for something he wants. Which brings us to another point - Greed is not possessive of his treasure. He is willing to share with others, and even trade things away. After all, he'll eventually get it back - with interest. The only thing he doesn't do is give freely. Everything has a price, even life itself. If you can't pay it, then you earn none of Greed's sympathy.
Greed respects humans and can understand their value, but just like everything else, he views them as property. He respects them now since they aren't his, and he will respect them when he owns them since he doesn't want to break his toys, but he will never be on the same level as a normal human. Doesn't mean he can't pretend he is though. Greed is amazing at lying, and this combined with his Evil Eye allows him to be very persuasive towards people. He is very good at socializing, most likely because he knows what people want in a friend, and he can be the perfect friend for a time. And then, when one of his friends needs a loan, he'll be right there, willing to make a deal... But even though greed views humans as insignificant, he isn't sociapathic or anything. He doesn't wish harm on other people, and will actually protect a person's life if he can. After all, a life debt is very valuable...
Greed is never satisfied. You could give him everything in the world, and he would just want more. He can trade things now, but his goal is to own everything - where only he has property. Greed is also highly analytical, constantly appraising the value of different choices and possibilities. He hides this with an easy going persona and masks his intellect by playing dumb.
Greed respects the other Demons, and is even willing to help them for cheap. They are the closest thing he has to family, and they are definitely the people he spends the most time with. Of course, he has differing opinions on each of them.
Magic Powers: Greed is one of the sins that has a distinct lack of combat-oriented powers, instead relying on manipulation and support in order to help the other demons. While not as much of a leader as someone like Pride, Greed is easily able to get supplies and, should the need arise, bodies. Greed grows stronger the more he has at his disposal - with nothing, he is virtually powerless, but with enough resources, nearly anything is possible.
Contract:
Greed can form contracts with other people, allowing him to trade things like money, objects, or even people. That's not all, though - nonphysical things can be traded as well, such as ownership, a name, time, or even abilities and skills. Additionally, this contract is magically binding - even if someone sold their house for a nickel while drunk out of their mind, they would hand over the keys without a single complaint. The contract does not need to be written - that's pretty old school in the fast-paced, modern world. A contract could be verbal, or even sent by text message.
Their are a few limitations, however. Both parties are magically bound, meaning Greed must fulfill his own part of the contract. Additionally, a person can't be intimidated or forced into a contract - they must agree to it of their own will. Finally, Greed's power is not as strong as it used to be - he can only make 3 contracts a day, each making him progressively weaker. After making his third contract in a day, his powers are locked, rendering him powerless until he goes to sleep and the next day arrives. Finally, while the contract is magically binding, it only forces a person to obey what they agreed to do. If Greed tricks a person to give him their car, they will, but nothing stops them from destroying it after they hand over the keys. Or punching Greed in the face.
Evil Eye:
Greed is in the hearts of all creatures on earth, big or small. Of course, the Demon of Greed himself would know what people want. With a single glance, Greed can identify the desires of any animal larger than a mouse. While it's not really effective on animals since they all usually want food or sex, this power is very useful against humans. Greed can tell every desire a person has, but must spend time staring at a person to see the desires they care less about. Also allows Greed to hear a person's thoughts whenever they think about something they want (EX: "Wow, I really want that purse!").
Not very many limits on this power. It relies on sight, so being blinded makes Greed unable to use it. Additionally, it can't be turned off, so Greed constantly has to see a person's desires if he looks at them. Can get very overwhelming in crowded spaces.
Materialistic:
Greed is capable of summoning anything he owns. The item being summoned can appear anywhere within 30 feet of Greed, and can include living things. Summoning things takes anywhere between 30 seconds and instantaneously, depending on the size. Things that are too large to be summoned within 30 feet of Greed (Ex: A large boat) cannot be summoned by this power.

-It should be noted, Greed will usually give people what they really want with a contract, and will only ever twist the wording if he is desperate. It's like he says, he "Just wants to give people what they want... For a price".


Wrath - TBA
Sloth / Bel - Greed enjoys Sloth's company, if only because it allows him a little quiet time. Sloth's lazy nature is a good compliment towards someone like Greed who is willing to do anything to get what he wants, and his telekinetic abilities are sure to come in handy.
Pride / Lucia - Greed has grown used to Pride's attitude over the thousands of years, and has also learned that it's better to take the insults than it is to fight back and spend ages dealing with the literal incarnation of inflated ego. The two don't always see eye-to-eye, but even though he knows that she doesn't like him, he still cares for her like he does for all of the demons.
Envy / Rosalyn - Greed gets along very well with Envy, since he can understand the feeling of wanting more. Sometimes they come at odds since Greed usually has a lot of nice things, but he's always willing to trade and share. She and Gluttony are Greed's favorite.
Gluttony / Jackie - Enjoys that she wants to consume and constantly desires more, as it reminds him of himself. Besides this, her apprehension towards going in head first and wish to make a plan before anything greatly appeals to Greed.
Lust / Abigail - Greed likes Lust's enthusiasm and desire for excitement. He especially likes the fact that she doesn't hate all humans, as he shares the opinion, albeit for different reasons.
