Temperance is the only one I can really claim to have. Maybe Loyalty, depending on how you define it (for example, if you define it as the same thing as Faith, then probably not)

Fortitude/Courage i think. I don't want to come off as an internet badass but i have a personal policy to never back down from things that intimidate, scare or challenge me. I spent many years as a lazy coward so im kind of overcompensating. Having masoschistic tendencies and a burning hunger for respect helps too.
Loyalty would be my second pick, and these two go well together. Taking metaphorical bullets for people you love ftw.

Fortitude, cuz if yer a wuss all the loyalty in the world won't help your friends one bit in a dangerous situation. I for one will not lay down will not cower will not let anything stop me till my last breath leaves this shell, I fear not death, I fear not pain, I fear not ridicule, as death is inevitable, pain is an illusion of the mind, and ridicule only affects those who fall prey to self doubt.
I'm the one people go to for the killing of spiders/rats/other pests, I will move a piano by myself if i have to to help someone, and if someone is harrassing bullying or mistreating me or a friend of mine I will initiate the required confrontation to end the situation, just how I am.

I dunno about Faith, but Loyalty sounds right up my alley.
I tend to be very loyal to my friends.

Either courage, hope or charity.
I picked charity, because I would do anything for anyone, even if they don't entirely deserve it.
Hope is quite ok because I'm a pretty optimistic person. But right now, I don't really feel like I live in bliss.
Courage is just because I'm hardly ever worried (might be linked to hope) and would do pretty much anything. Not a lot of things scare me.

While part of me would agree with you about a people not really fitting a mold of virtuous or evil, that wasn't really the point of this. It was more of just asking which one an individual was either most susceptible to or most pious in upholding. While we all have a mix of one, I believe every individual has at least one or two more defining virtues and vices. I've already answered mine, but if I had to pick a second Virtue for example, it'd probably be Faith/Loyalty or a Vice probably Wrath, but Hope and Gluttony would be near the bottom of each.JesterRaiin said:How about "none" ?Chicago Ted said:
One may fall into "passive" category being neither especialy virtuous nor evil per se, just your average, pragmatic Joe.
I'm just wondering what everyone generally sits on as their most defining one...
... That and I was writing up a New World of Darkness character sheet that requires you to pick one for your character.
I see. I find your approach acceptable.Chicago Ted said:
I merely refuse to acknowledge wolrd being black or white. The reality is so mutable - when we think we know all about it, it shows us different face. That, which can't be closed in the house erected from bricks with definitions.
But, if it's about fun, then aaaawhell ! Pure, naiive faith would be my choice of virtue. Despite all my cynicism and cases of pure, cruel evil i witnessed, i believe in the Mankind. Also i believe that Skyrim is meant for troo Nords only ! Power to the people !
BTW, what do you think about 20th Anniversary edition of Old WoD ?
For me it would have to be Prudence. Well yea there is the Chasity thing in which I believe in, their the object of morel virtue that comes with Prudence in which I try to hold up with everything I do.
Hope is the closest that any of the virtues comes to describing me. The only thing that keeps me going is hope that tomorrow something awesome will happen to me. Hope that someday my luck will change. Hope is the only thing getting me out of bed in the morning and the only thing stopping me from jumping in front of a bus.
Next up is probably faith. Although I have little faith in humanity as a whole, and absolutely none in religion, I am extremely loyal to the people I care about. However, I've never had an opportunity to display this loyalty so it's not really evident.
Third, temperance. Despite being a virtue, I think I have too much sometimes because I tend to under- or overcompensate in order to be moderate. In addition, this leads to indecision when there're no shades of grey in a situation. It can also lead to problems in video games in which I get to choose my own stat/ability progression, where I tend to gravitate toward a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none type of character. This killed my experience in Dragon Age and other WRPGs.

I'm a fairly optimistic individual and tend to try really hard to see the best in people and situations, so it would have to be hope for me.
