Okay, I'm pretty happy with the current plan, what if we switched the inspiration of an oni out for a hungry ghost from Buddhism? It kinda fits the punishment theme for gluttony better than an oni which would fit wrath better.

Having our MC be a largely emaciated figure, his flesh spread and stretched too thin over his bony skeletal frame with the exception of an oddly unfitting large potbelly. Like, he could eat and eat and eat and yet he's never satisfied. Always at the edge of starvation, if that makes sense?

I like the Oni design, but it doesn't seem to fit thematically.

the appearance doesn't matter to me much so go for it
 
[X] Your appearance feels almost mocking, your arms and legs thinned and skeletal. Lacking the strength, small though it was, that you had in life. Your stomach is bulbous and soft, as if all the weight you had was concentrated there. Despite your height not changing you appear unnaturally lanky. You've taken to wearing baggier clothes to try and look less, unbalanced. It doesn't really work though, your hands are still as bony as ever and you haven't been able to find gloves that fit properly. Your eyes seem to glow with an internal light, and your mouth is much smaller than it seems like it should be. Finally your hair has become stiff and bristly, like thin sticks of wood almost, if not for the waxy texture they have. The ends sometimes catch fire when your excited or overwhelmed, letting out a smell like olive oil.

The idea here is both the hungry ghost inspiration and a few symbols chosen to represent the mc's goals. The glowing eyes and candle like hair is meant to imply a search for knowledge. While the olive branch texture of the hair, and the baggy clothes are meant to symbolize the pursuit of comfort, the idea is at least for our character to be a bit uncomfortable not only with his situation but also his appearance. It's, a little pretentious but it's probably the best I can do right now.

Edit: forgot to vote on a plan

Can we still keep the gas mask part with toxic symbols. A sinners appereance is supposed to be thematic with how they died, plues so it'd be fun to come out with a gas mask and toxic symbols to get that natural drug lord vibe.
 
[X] Plan: We have to start somewhere
[X] [Appearance] you were screwed over. sure, you still had a normal amount of eyes in your now football shaped head. yeah, your nose wasn't that weird conpared to what other people were working with. your hair wasn't that fucking terrible. but you were so, so short. you'd trade your right arm, or put up with 3 weird insect ones, to just be a few feet taller. (yes, I've picked Arnold Shortman for our demon form.)

alright. I voted for a plan. also I'm fine with Candy Nerd winning but a Caffeine Nerd is definitely more entertaining option. gives us an excuse to be manic and intense and come off a bit crazy.
 
Quick notice: I see that every plan does not include somekind of prestige action and that is simply not allowed; Every action category, whether we want to or not, must be included unless told otherwise. If the plans are not revised to include them then I will pick a random one for us to do. I know that the -50 is scary, but you can't fix it by avoiding it; You can only truly fix it through completing prestige actions. I apologize for this annocement, but I felt it necessary to step in real quick. I hope that you all have a great morning, day, and night.
 
[X] Plan: We have to start somewhere
-[X] - PUMP SOME IRON!: One thing you learn quickly in hell is that it's a dog eat dog world, and you're a tiny chihuahua. It time to finally get into shape. (Head to the gym and work out)
-[X] - SHOW ME YOUR WAR FACE: One important part of becoming a powerful and respected criminal kingpin is having an Intimating presence about you, something that a nerd like you lacks. (Learn to act intimating . . . And more)
-[X] - WE NEED TO COOK: Every successful entrepreneur knows that when beginning your career, you should always find your niche, and that wisdom is still useful when becoming an Overlord. Now that you want to become one, you should find your Niche. (Find a service or product to sell)
-[X] - I'm an actor: If you want to get good as an Overlord you need to learn to get good at acting, luckily you found a poster offering acting lessons for free . . . That's definitely doesn't sound weird at all (get free acting lessons).
-[X] - lay of the land: You realized that you don't know the area you live in all that well at all, maybe a morning stroll will fix that? (Learn about your surrounding area).
-[X] - Club meeting: So magic is real . . . Weird. Well since it is real it's better you learn it than to stay in the dark about it; There a so called "Magic club" that's meets up in the room next to yours, maybe they can teach you something? (Learn to unlock magic in the magic club)
-[X] - Know thy self: Every night seen falling in hell you've been having nightmares about your past life, your failures as a living person, and what kind of a person you'll be now as a sinner. . . Who will you be now?. (Discover who you will be now in hell through your dreams)

[X] Plan: We have to start somewhere

[X] [Appearance] You looked like a fat tribal oni. You are all dark with bright white occult symbols were you got your life ending injuries from the boom. Your hair is bright yellow with heterochromia of of Black right and what you think is a weird Violet left and the small horn on the right side of your forehead that's neon pink for some reason
