How would you play a character that serves the god of sloth? A fundamentally lazy and unmotivated person, forced out to go do some adventuring shit for reason he neither understands nor cares about. I'm building a character with this concept and am unsure how to properly flesh it out/play it in-game.

Motivated, energetic, always willing to do a favor, always trying to find a favor to do for you before you can think to ask. To promote greater sloth in general than he could ever personally achieve.

He wants to become rich so he can live off of his adventuring money and slack off all day.
>>
What if your character decided one day to do SOME stuff to clear up the foreseeable future, but messed up along the way and is now so deep in the fetch/side quest hole he's more or less resigned himself to doing stuff asked of him with mild toothless protests, with the vague and ever slipping goal of getting back to his home and hopefully this time never leaving it again?
>>
He was too lazy to get an education or pick up a trade but his family won't let him mooch off them anymore so he picked up a dangerous career as a passive-aggressive move.

How about this: he's the avatar of Sloth who is trying to encourage others to be lazy so he can get some sleep.

Of course, you'd basically be playing a villain at that point.

These guys get it. If you're serving the god of sloth you want to encourage propagate laziness across the land, not just be lazy by yourself. Sure you'd still probably be a bit of an unmotivated bum, but ideally you'd be going out of your way to do something that makes everyone else be slothful too.

Make him an inventor who strives to make everything as efficient as possible so that things require the least amount of effort to do. Why walk when you can ride and why ride when you can drive?
By selling his ideas and inventions he could gain enough money to have people take care of the few activities that are required of him so that he then can spend his life in leisure.
The societal advances that his inventions create also leads to a much more sloth-fill society overall as people less and less need to rely on their own brain-power and muscles in their daily activities.

Procrastination, allthough belonging to the realm of sloth can actually lead to a less easy-going life overall.

That would actually make sense.
You could make him a guy that desires peace across the land, but for less morally solid reasons.
"Laziness is the ultimate byproduct of peace" after all.

So then how would you encourage slothfulness?
Solving problems for others seems unfitting, since they'll probably just fill their time with other productive nonsense.

Is no one gonna bring up this guy? Preaching about slothfulness was his thing.

Some kind of autonomous servant to fulfill basic needs. From there you need to define laziness. Is doing a hobby you enjoy purely because you enjoy it lazy?

I suppose it would only be lazy if it doesn't require you to exert yourself and/or causes you to neglect your responsibilities. Sporting is not lazy, but browsing /tg/ is.
>>
play a rich person, always being carried around, never doing your own work, and offering to lend out your servants in order to encourage others to take servants themselves.

Petelgeuse praised diligence at every turn, and had the worst compatibility with his Witch Factor out of any of the Sin Archbishops.
That red eyeshadow is dried blood and his biting habit is to keep his mind off the pain. When he says his brain trembles, /he means it/.
