This sounds like a rather interesting game. I'd like some more information on the 'soul cultivation' idea, though.

You say, reluctantly, that the players are rewarded for portraying moral characters, because the only way to grow in power in the game is to behave Virtuously.

So, are there villains in the game?

Are there powerful villains in the game?

How does a villain become powerful if they wind up destroying their souls through their Vice(s)?

Would casually evil real-world people, say muggers, CEO's, etc., be 'Dead Inside' in game terms, if they were encountered as characters?

Is there some aspect of evil or Vice associated with the player characters, seeing as they start out with no soul? What is the motivation or realization required in the character's frame of reference for deciding that today is the day he or she is going to go out and start trying to get a new soul?

I hope those aren't too abstract. I rather like games that encourage moral debates among the players, and this one sounds interesting.
