**Sin** is the unholy representation of transgressions against divine law and, aptly, sin itself. She was born from Lucifer's rage from what he believed was injustice towards him when he was still in Heaven during the beginning stage of his rebellion. Through her father, she is also the mother of the demonic personification of death.

## Overview

Sin is the embodiment of humanity's shadow and represents the evil in all men's hearts given life and form. It is said that Sin's mere existence was enough to corrupt all those around her and that her actions was causing the nature of existence and thought to shift dramatically. It is said that Sin is nigh-impossible to kill for as long as even a single man harbors a single dark thought then Sin will continue to exist. Moreover, when unleashed upon the Earth, the evil she spreads will only make her grow stronger.

Sin is regarded as both an allegorical representation of Lucifer's sin against God and a parody of God's creation of the Son. It is also believed that the birth of Sin resulted in the formation of the Seven Deadly Sins as she sprang from Satan's head the moment he began to rebel against God and Heaven. Sin's expulsion from Satan created a "blowback" that resulted in vices, which the six other high-ranked angels were experiencing, to also manifest and spring forth from their being. This could in a sense make Sin the creator of the Seven Deadly Sins. Some even speculate that Sin mated with the Seven Princes to produce the Seven Deadly Sins.

## Appearance

Sin's appearance can be described as her having the shape of a woman from the waist but with a serpent's body below and a circle of creatures around her waist, constantly birthing them as they gnaw at her. She has no control over these changes but is held captive by cruel pregnancies in a body in perpetual labor, cursed by her own demonic fertility.

## History

### Birth

Sin was birthed from Lucifer by emerging from his head, which is considered to be a demonized parody of Athena's own birth from her father, Zeus. Sin is Lucifer's thoughts of rebellion made manifest, and was created sometime after Lucifer was cast out of Paradise. The shadowy thoughts of disobedience and rebellion that consumed the mind of the Morning Star, resulting in Sin taking shape and erupting from his head. Sin's presence was instantly sensed by several angels and almost immediately she was driven out of Heaven into Hell.

### Assigned Role and Damnation

After the re-awakening of the rebel angels, their rise awakened her and she stood up to see the landscape around her taking unspeakable dark shapes and fire. Even in hell, she was an incredibly beautiful woman, so was assigned by the archangel Gabriel to guard the cage that held Lucifer who warned her if she failed to follow that role she would lose her beauty and would also give birth the being who bring the world to its end. These series of events were too fast for Sin to process and blindly did what she was told.

After she did the angels cursed her, deforming her and also causing her constant labor, making her a demon as a punishment. She finally gave birth to Death through many long painful days of labor. Death at the time would not be born until the very first death occurred after the war which in this case would be Cain killing Abel.

### The Gates of Hell

Despite her position, God communicated with Sin and ordered her to guard the entryway alongside her child, Death, and was given the key in hand as a bonus. Sin is then met by her father at the Gates of Hell, still pregnant with her child Death. The relationship between Lucifer, Sin, and Death is an allegory tying together the ideas of disobedience, sin, and death: Disobedience results in sin, and sin results in death. As a result, both Sin and Death have a very interesting relationship with the Devil.

Sin stated that she could not allow Lucifer to leave through the Gate by God's orders but Lucifer responds by informing her that she is not a creation of God and therefore should not be obedient to Him. Contemplating on this, Sin relents and allows her father to leave, making his way to the Garden of Eden. She and Death build a bridge to Earth and inhabit the world after Lucifer causes the Fall of Man.

## Myths and Legends

Originating from Paradise Lost by John Milton, Sin is regarded as both an allegorical representation of Lucifer's sin against God and a parody of God's creation of the Son. Her birth is also a mockery of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, who was birthed out of the head of Zeus.
