MEANSUCKER WANNA GIVE YOU SKILLS ON THE TORTURE HELLCITYBUS.

• Lust - You're really... enthusiastic. So much so that you tend to rush into things and not care if you do them well or not. (passive)
• Gluttony - You really, really like food. You like it so much that you find it hard to concentrate on anything else. (passive)
• Greed - You want money, 'cause you're in need. Getting more money is no trifling matter to you, indeed. You care about pretty much nothing but money. (passive)
• Sloth - Baby Ruth! Baby Ruth! Nah, you're too lazy to go get a Baby Ruth. You're too lazy to do pretty much anything. (passive)
• Wrath - You're just... so... angry. You hate everything. You just want to recklessly and violently smash things. (passive)
• Envy - Whenever you see anybody else with anything, you want it. You don't care what it is, you don't care what it costs, you just want it. (passive)
• Pride - You feel pretty full of yourself -- you're always strutting around and bragging about your accomplishments. Gotta watch your figure, though. (passive)
