Description
After seeing several images on DA and other sites based of the seven deadly sins, I thought I'd come up with my own. In this pic I have given all the characters a similar look whilst also giving each sin embodiment a unique form of their own, each of them have their own colour and traits of a certain animal.
EDIT: Added Backstories
Ever since the first people came into existence, humanity has always been tempted by the seven deadly sins, and with each sin a certain demon grew in strength after consuming the dark energies that resulted from humanity's despicable actions. After realising that each sin can easily be rivaled by the seven heavily virtues, 7 particular demons, each feeding off one particular sin to themselves, chose to venture into the human realm in hopes of satisfying their hunger in an alternative way. However in order to do so, each demon required a host for their entities to attach to, due to the fact that they couldn't exist in the human realm, as such they each chose a human who had died as a result of their individual sin thus allowing them to become hosts for the demonic entities. Though as a result of the possession the demon's conscious minds and personalities were completely eradicated as though they never existed, their abilities and powers remained in the former humans who now act as their anchors to the human realm, all of which still have their own personalities and desires as they did in life, as well as all of their past memories. As a demonic creature, each Sin, save for one, has the ability to change their form in order to blend in with the human realm, along with an additional power from their individual entities. Also, since they no longer feed off negative energies, each Sin's life can now only be sustained by the life energy from living people, as such they have no other choice but to drain at least 1 victim every month using their unique methods.

Sloth:
Once a teenage art student name Sylvia Blake. Though incredibly talented in her courses in College, Sylvia was also incredibly lazy and usually avoided her classes by sleeping in her dorm room.

Inhaling the smoke as she slept, Sylvia died choking and as a result was succumbed to the possession to the Sloth entity.
