I'm just looking to see if people would be interested, so I could start building the world and story.
The main concept is you have been sent to purgatory (obviously) due to breaking one of the seven sins. Therefore I'd be looking for seven players, myself not included, each with a chosen sin.
As your sins shape your character, here are just a few ideas to explain what I mean.
Wrath - Your footprints leave scorch marks on the earth, your eyes burn with fire etc.
Apathy (Sloth) - Your skin is pallid grey, surrounded by fog.
etc.
The sins in question are Wrath, Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Pride, Apathy, Lust. Your character can be from any time period, race, creed etc. Your end goal is to make it out of the three levels, and gain entry to heaven. There will be character specific challenges, traps
I'm very open to feedback and criticism, which would be much appreciated. I'm still undecided on Group vs Forum, but the dice tool would be useful. Let me know what you think.
Thanks.
Oh, and as I know Gluttony is not a favoured appearance, let me remind you it is an excess of ingestible whatnots. Alcholism, drug addictions, etc fall under Gluttony.

Purgatory is a reflection, and not a copy, of earth. Shaped by those inhabit it as a collective mass, it is a fluid environment. Humans in purgatory are those who sinned, but did not break the commandments. Thus, the humans in purgatory are what some would see as true human nature. Within purgatory, people are shaped by their former life, and inherent sin. This representation of their sin is still malleable in purgatory, where they may lead good lives, and progress to a more human form. However, there has been no record of redemption in purgatory. Ever.
Society in purgatory is similar to that on earth. Each person has an assigned task, which they carry out for money, to barter goods with. There is no reason to eat or drink, though it is still an enjoyable experience, and many newcomers often feel ghost-pangs of hunger and thirst. What money is spent on is dependant on the time period, though items of leisure are common throughout.
There are three planes, three different time periods of humanities growth
350 AD - Constantine's conversion to christianity. This is the lowest plain, filled with both Demons, and Humans.
1550 AD - The Renaissance, filled with only humans.
1915 AD - World War I, filled with both Angels and Humans.
WIthin all three realms are relics of the original seven sinners. Seven keys, to only one door. These keys have been sought after by every single denizen upon learning it, but only one has been found, which is Sloths. It is currently held in the second plane, heavily guarded.
In purgatory you are in your prime age, so from 20-35. People do not age, however, those cursed by Sloth can appear far older if they succumb to their temptations.
In between each plane, is a bridge that flows over mist. On each bridge stands an Archangel, and few have made it past him. Death is as brutal and horrific in purgatory as it is on earth, and the dead are simply sent to hell.
The inhuman Demons and Angels in purgatory both appear as semi-humanoid, radiating light and fog respectively. They are stronger, faster and highly intelligent compared to most of the humans, but can be killed through normal means, sending them back to their respective planes.
There are a rare few who have fully succumbed to their sin, granting them supernatural strength at the expense of sheer hatred from their fellow humans. These individuals work through many associates and servants to achieve their means, all bearing a mark on their neck.
Warfare in purgatory is fought with the time appropriate weapons.
