Once upon a time, there was an Guardian Angel who fell to sin.

A normal girl that died a tragic death tempted by the snake like Eve had been once upon a time long forgotten.

And she wouldn't forget how that snake had done her wrong.

For the snake's blood soon stained her freshly tainted hands, which had been once so pure and innocent like none other.

And thus the 'Sins' were created.

Beings that had long passed the stage of human, yet weren't purely identified as demons either.

It was hard to categorize the Sins, for they hunted criminals, humans and supernatural beings alike, executed the sinners and then took their blood.

Neither were they vampires, for the Sins could very well survive off of human food.

Maybe, they could be called "Reapers". After all, those so-called Reapers that humanity would stamp off as just another supernatural legend, were based off of the Sins that were mixing within the masses of humanity, searching to splatter the blood of the sinners.

First was Sloth, the assassin. Next came Envy, the tracker. The third was Six, the one who worked with Envy to catch the criminal and bring them back to the base. Gluttony was the fourth, the interrogator. And the fifth was Pride, the infiltrator. sixth was Lust, who made sure to keep a tight grip on all kinds of people to feed her information. The seventh was Wrath, the one that tortured the criminals that were deserving of such treatment. And the last, but not least, was Greed, the strategist.

None of them could work without the other, they were a unit, a team...

A family.

But happiness could only hold so long, until melancholy came knocking on it's door to destroy everything.

Literally.

1912, December 25Th

The moon was shining down upon the streets of London, the moonlight lifting the mood of the sullen and rainy night.

The familiar sounds of crime happening in the distance sounded throughout the night as a young woman walked through the almost completely vacant streets, one of her loyal creations walking by her side.

"Six." The mysterious woman's voice sounded, causing the young man who could barely be older than seventeen look up, coming to a stop just as the woman did.

'Six' was a very handsome young male. His eyes were a vibrant shade of mint green and his hair was the darkest shade of black imaginable. His skin was pale, causing the moonlight to reflect off of the unblemished and smooth skin. He wasn't necessarily tall, but neither short. And while he wasn't muscular, there was a air of undeniable power that clung to him, making the few stray people that were still roaming the street make a big circle around him, avoiding his presence like the plaque.
