Greed

Gluttony jumped as a voice she didn't recognise addressed her, "Hello miss i heard a explosion from here, might i ask your name? Was that your doing?" Turning rapidly she saw a Green pony with orange hair and a Fedora standing in the remains of the tent doorway. She blinked a few times before finding the courage to speak,, "Erm, hello...yes, my name is explosion and that Gluttony was my fault...i mean...oh sugar rush.." She looked away feeling her cheeks turning red, she really wasn't good with this whole talking to other ponies thing...

As he followed Haybrun, Greed also studied him closely. He was certainly an interesting pony, proud, powerful, yet also perhaps a little impatient. He didn't seem to appreciate the situation surround The Sins' appearance, but Greed was thankful that Haybrun had accepted them none the less. Greed hoped that when they returned to the command tent, he could have a proper conversation with Haybrun, as he was sure there'd be plenty of interesting things to note down and later archive. For now though Greed was happy to just follow Haybrun to whatever the larger stallion thought needed his attention the most, after all that in itself would be one of the keys to analysing what made Haybrun's mind tick...

Greed, being used to such disaster, waited to see how Haybrun would deal with this latest interruption... Meanwhile,"Opsie, a little too much nitro glycerine?" Gluttony, a brown and white striped mare with an inexhaustable supply of sweets, asked the cook, "There's not suppost to be ANY AT ALL!!!" He shouted back, before leaving to cool his temper and his hat which was still slightly burning. Gluttony just ignored him, what did it matter really, following the recipe was just plain boring, and besides nopony was hurt, just a little blackened. "Huh, well it tasted fine to me!" She half heartedly replied. 'Maybe i need to reverse step two...' She mused, producing another lollipop from her belt...

Greed took the book and carefully placed it inside the brown leather satchel that was strapped to his side, "Thank you for the gift, I shall enjoy reading through that later when there is time." He quickly closed and reapplied the brass lock on the satchel, almost as if he didn't wish for anyone to see what was contained within. Then he addressed Bowie once more, "But we have not introduced ourselves formally, this is Haybrun, the General i am currently attached to as advisor, is there anything you wish to know Sir Bowie?"...

..."Please just call me Greed." The notepad reappeared from within Greed's skull and immediately began scribbling things down at such a rapid pace that the pencil itself was just a yellow blur. "That's extremely impressive Sir Bowie, where did you learn such skills? Or can everypony here do such a feat?" If Greed had eyes they'd have been flicking back and forth from Haybrun and Bowie, awaiting an answer...

Greed watched the recruits march off for their hike, and was interested to note that they seem to gather together into groups of around 4-5, 'probably friends' He mused to himself. The notepad made a quick note of this behaviour before floating back to Greed and depositing itself inside his skull for later. Greed sighed a contented sigh, and turned his head towards Haybrun."What now General?" He asked...

Good afternoon, and welcome.

Hello, a fine welcome to your from all of the Sins.

"Hmm you're very observant for a military type general," Greed mused, "You are correct up to a point. Me and my friends are from another realm, similar to your own yet different in many aspects. We do not have a military to speak of, let alone specialised branches or said military. Our land is ruled by an oppresive tyrant and his lackeys, we need this knowledge so that in time we can return and fight..." Greed turned away sadly, raised a hoof to massage his jawbone, and continued, "I turned down Sir Lancer's offer because we don't have the resourced for massed combat, what we need is a small specialised force, much like the recruits we will be training here for the next few months." Greed began to walk down the hill towards the front of the assembled recruits, he stopped and half turned his head back to General Haybrun, "Oh and by the by, this isn't a mask," He gestured towards his head, "Arcane powers did this, if you feel like it, when we have a moment, you may ask me about it..." And with that Greed started to tour the lines of ponies, a floating notepad following his every step... "Are you the Egghea- errr Scholar doing the tests?" A grass green unicorn suddenly called out to Greed, who stopped and studied him intensely, paying perticular attention to his peculiar head gear. "Yeah i know sirs, the Fedora is not regulation, but its my lucky hat and i'm over 75% sure that luck is real!" "Interesting..." Greed muttered, his notepad scralled a few notes, and Greed continued walking without a another word. "Oh don't mind him, he's just too into his study is all! You can talk to me instead!" Two new ponies now addressed Lucky, the sins of Lust and Envy...

Greed turned to the pony who had asked the question and studied him for a moment before answering, "I need this unit of ponies for reasons of study General, for the gaining of knowledge that i would otherwise be unable to possess." Greed stood and walked towards the stallion stopping less than a meter in front of his muzzle. "Do you know where i and my friends are from? Tell me, what have you heard?"...

Yes pretty much, they have their flaws but then again we all do. They aren't evil per-say, they just have their personalities rooted in what sin they represent. I wanted them to be more than one dimensional characters who behave according to their name. Each one of them has their own role in Pony Vile, and their own dreams, fears, etc...more interesting that way...

I'll admit, i ahvn't seen it, but i have heard of it...was it good?

(I don't know if i can just comment and get involved, but here goes...all my OCs are here http://mr-mc-twiggy.deviantart.com/art/MLP-The-Sins-of-Friendship-292491281?q=gallery%3Amr-mc-twiggy%2F15321529&qo=5) *It had been a few months since Greed and his friends had found the realm of Equestria, they'd explored and documented many aspects of pony life, but this looked to be one of the most intriguing, if not dangerous, adventures yet. Greed had been accepted as the role of advisor to the Equestrian Armed Forces commander, and during his stay he would be studying how the military worked, and the types of ponies involved, as well as following up with the reports that his friends gave to him from inside the various aspects of the armed forces; Wrath was working with the blacksmiths, Pride was involved in documenting the tactics room, Gluttony was helping with the army chefs (whilst trying not to eat everything), and Lust, Envy and Sloth had all be taken as recruits to get an inside knowledge of the actual fighting elements of the army.* Greed sat on the grassy knoll overlooking the gathered troops below, their fresh faces lightly flecked with perspiration from the unusual summer weather. their armour was polished to an impeccable shine, but Greed reckoned that that would soon dull down as the weeks commenced. He shifted his position slightly and tried to spot the three friends that he knew were standing somewhere in the 50 ponies that made up this branch of the military, but they were impossible to see as they too blended in with they armour they had been issued just a few days ago. It was of no matter, they would report back to him when the week was done so that he might make notes on the type of ponies commonly recruited by the EAF. 'Hmm...' He thought, 'I wonder if they've met anypony yet?'...

Hmmm, what voices do you think you could lend to my OCs The Sins? http://mr-mc-twiggy.deviantart.com/art/MLP-The-Sins-of-Friendship-292491281?q=gallery%3Amr-mc-twiggy%2F15321529&qo=5 Obviously some you might not be ableto do, but if you're interested then drop me a message and we'll discuss the pony/ponies in question.

How interesting, who is the creator of these ponies? Because together we make up the 7 sins and 4 harbingers! >
