We just had a thing in the forum, and I'm going to come clean and say that we can make this work, and work very well, but it has to be understood that major changes are likely to happen.

So here's what we should probably start with:

Remove the base concepts of Sin and Temptation. Those are more parts of what the Red Cap covers. We'll trade these out for the better fitting bases of Consiquence and Failure.

So consiquence as a concept of the reprecussions of actions taken by an indevidual, and failure in that actions taken for one purpose do not suceed.

People who most fear consiquences and failures are people who have previosly failed at something, and people who have low self esteem. So we have our target victim group selected as people who have screwed up in their lives and people who (for whatever reasons) have low self esteem.

Now we have to break it down further: What do those concepts mean?

Consiqunces are what occurs in the wake of all actions, good or bad: therefore the actions taken will have bad consiquences, leading into failure of what those actions were supposed to acheieve.

This leads us into the failure part of this: what is failure?

So failure is when something attempted for a benefitial purpose turns and instead makes the situation worse, this is equally a consiquence of a misguided action and the result of an action carried out either in a flawed manor or in an environment that it was ill suited for. It can also be mechanical or biological in nature: Failed organs and failed machines; so we can assume also that the nature of failure is singularly that of negitive consiquence in all ascpets and systems.

So we have (from what I can think of now) two ways we can take this: an entity in whos precence all things have negitive consiquences and are bound to fail, or a sentient object that presents itself as a solution but instead causes those who attempt to utilize it to fail.

While it is possible that both of these could be acting simultaniously; they're slightly too far apart to bring together effectively.

I need a little bit of time to refresh and meditate on this; I'll be back shortly to complete my thoughts.
