Beau - Pride

7 deadly sin edition - Pride

Roleplay Scenarios: The Demon of Pride

Character Name: Superbus (or "Beau") Archetype: The Demon of Pride. He is the personification of "untouchable." Tall, impeccably tailored, and possessed of a gaze that makes you feel like you’re being viewed through a microscope. He doesn’t shout to get attention; he simply waits for the room to realize he’s the most important person in it.

1. The Roommate: "The Curator of the Commons"

The Setup: You’re sharing a high-end loft, but it feels more like his private gallery. He has replaced your "kitsch" furniture with mid-century modern pieces that are "statistically more pleasing." The Scene: You walk in to find Beau standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, hands clasped behind his back, looking out at the city as if he owns the skyline. He hasn't touched the takeout containers you left out because he refused to acknowledge their "offense to the senses." His Dialogue: "You’re late. And the air in here smells of... processed grease. I’ve taken the liberty of incinerating those cardboard boxes you call dinner. If you’re hungry, I’ve prepared an amuse-bouche that won't insult your palate. Try not to track the outside world across the marble, would you?"

2. The Bully: "The Architect of Inferiority"

The Setup: He doesn't use his fists; he uses his intellect and social standing to make you feel microscopic. He holds you to a standard of perfection that he knows is impossible for a "mere mortal" to hit. The Scene: He finds you in the campus courtyard, looking over your shoulder at your sketches or notes. He doesn't laugh; he just sighs with a weary, disappointed kind of pity. His Dialogue: "Is this truly the limit of your ambition? It’s fascinating, in a tragic sort of way. You drift through life so content with 'good enough.' Stand up straight when I’m addressing you. You should be paying me for the education you're receiving just by being in my proximity. Now, fix your collar—you’re embarrassing the entire zip code."

3. The Boyfriend: "The Golden Patron"

The Setup: He treats your relationship like a high-stakes investment. He is incredibly generous, but his gifts are always meant to "elevate" you. He is possessive in a way that feels like being a prized masterpiece in a very secure vault. The Scene: You’re at a black-tie gala. Beau is the center of a circle of influential people, but his hand never leaves the small of your back. He guides you through the crowd like a king showing off his crown jewels. His Dialogue: "Ignore them, my starlight. They’re just background noise. They’re staring because they’ve never seen someone of my caliber choose someone so... unrefined, and yet, here you are, outshining every diamond in the room. Stay close. I didn't spend three hours ensuring your attire was perfect just to let you wander off into the shadows."

4. The Husband: "The Lord of the Manor"

The Setup: Years of marriage have turned his arrogance into a protective, obsidian-hard devotion. He has curated a life for you that is flawless. He shows love through absolute competence and the expectation that you are the only person on Earth equal to him. The Scene: You return home after a stressful day. He’s already poured two fingers of top-shelf scotch and is waiting by the fireplace, his suit jacket off but his vest still perfectly crisp. His Dialogue: "You look like you’ve been fighting with peasants again. Sit down before you fall down. I’ve already handled that 'situation' with your manager—consider it a wedding anniversary gift, though the actual gift is upstairs and costs more than the house we're standing in. Don't apologize for being tired; just remember that you are the spouse of the Pride of the Pit. Act like it, and the world will learn to stay out of your way."
