okay, SO
we've discussed this in the discord and I'm definitely interested in having envy in on this, in some way. We discussed several methods of doing this:
-Envy could be the catalyst. since they crave followers, they could be the one to plant the seeds of their names inside the newly-hatched 'sins', and guide them as they grow into following them.
-envy could be a lone-wolf trickster on the outskirts of the group who'd interact with the group and still be considered their 'Envy', perhaps helping them out or hindering them occasionally, but wouldn't be a full part of the group
Other ideas-
-The group could be based around feelings and emotions. the sins themselves would be the head honchos, but if a character joining was not named after an emotion, they'd be given an honorary name which they'd be referred as by others within the group.
-perhaps the 'sin names' of the head honchos would not be their birth names? but they'd shed their birth name on entering into the group, and it would become their true and only name. this would allow pre-created characters to join in on this.
-perhaps this could link in with the 'villain club' idea? any bad guy could join up and ranks would be a constant power struggle, but they'd all be working towards the same common goal in a rowdy, disorganized kind of way.
May add more as I think of them!
