Ancient Egypt (Still Recruiting)

[AmbrosiaPudding]

I've been working on an world centered around ancient Egypt. This isn't all the information that I've come up with of course, but I'd just like to see who's interested. There is more information Here.

Egypt

Over the years Egypt has seen it's people, buildings, architecture, all of it come and go. Their polytheistic worshiping of several deities drying up along with much of the Nile river. Years ago, thousands of years ago though, it flourished. Under the watchful eye of their Pharaoh, with irrigation the crops, flourished, the river ran strong providing for many. It was Geb, the God of the Earth who first noticed that the people they had created were beginning to wither away. With the help of his son Osiris, despite what his brother Set did to him, the two of them placed a curse over their land. In the heavens, theoretically, Egypt would live one. Not touched by technology, outside influences or religion, it would withstand the test of time, just as it was. Glorious in it's vastness, a Pharaoh of man ruling those beneath him. The people would procreate, they would live, they would die, none would ever leave Egypt and it's glorious cities though. After all, why would they want to? No touch of famine, drought, or plague would ever touch them. Even the poor, though they would work hard to earn it, would have a little food in their bellies every night.

To create this curse though, Geb would not be powerful enough. He would need the help of the Sun God Ra. With his blood, so long as Ra lived, they would have the perfect Egypt. Free to be adorned and worshiped by any and all, for they had created them. It could expand as far as the eye could see, for the country no longer existed on the Earthly plane. Instead it inhabited area not bound by the laws of man.

Into their third dynasty of the Asim Pharaoh's, unexpectedly Pharaoh Asim Abasi dies peacefully in his sleep. None of the Gods, the High Priests, or even his wife and son expected it. Though Set, who had long been whispering into Asim Adom's ear, the Pharaoh's son, leapt at the chance to have his influence spread upon the land that his Father had created. As Adom ascended the throne, becoming Pharaoh he had his temple built in the likeness of Set making the other deities worry. Set, being the strongest of the Gods, was also the trickiest. He had killed his brother, Osiris, who was brought back to life, in order to assume the throne. If he were to take Ra's blood, mix it with his own, the possibility to recreate the Earth Geb had created loomed in the back of all of their minds. Though so far, nothing has been done, instead Set sits, awaiting by Adom, molding the young man into the type of Pharaoh he believes Egypt needs.

[Interdiction of words]

I place my interest here, I love playing the gods of Egypt.

[AmbrosiaPudding]

Awesome! I'm glad to see someone interested.

[Interdiction of words]

I was wondering if I could play Anubis or Sorbek?

[AmbrosiaPudding]

I have no problem with you playing Sorbek at all! Once we've gathered a little bit of interest, well more interest, I'll be posting a list and such, as well as a template for the character sheet.

[Interdiction of words]

Sweet, I can't wait for more interest and the fun of playing a truly neutral god.

[AmbrosiaPudding]

I can't wait for more interest either!

[Faustus]

Oh, man, I used to do lectures on the Egyptian religious system and told myths to groups. *u* Totally interested!

[AmbrosiaPudding]

I would like to stress though, that this will be less historical and more fantasy. Though I hope that doesn't change your interest!

[Rel Mayer]

You totally know you sparked my muse and it's interested!

[AmbrosiaPudding]

You totally know you sparked my muse and it's interested!

He he. I do love sparking your muse milady.

Not in the slightest.  :D

[FwuffyKittenz]

I wouldn't mind being a goddess. Ooh, could I be bastet? Pwetty pwease.

[AmbrosiaPudding]

I wouldn't mind being a goddess. Ooh, could I be bastet? Pwetty pwease.

I'm sad to say that I personally have decided to play Bast.

[AmbrosiaPudding]

Not in the slightest.  :D

Wonderful! So, I'll be making a making an OOC thread soon enough, along with a CS and a list of which Goss/Goddesses are taken. Just a reminder, you don't have to play a God! we will need a Pharaoh.

Do you plan to have the Goddess, Sekhmet?

[AmbrosiaPudding]

Do you plan to have the Goddess, Sekhmet?

I have looked into adding more Goddesses, it's just a matter of me gathering the correct information.

[la dame en noir]

Well if you do, I would love to play her.

[FwuffyKittenz]

I'm sad to say that I personally have decided to play Bast.

Is there a list of,people already picked then? Could you make one so we know who has called for who.

Before I went to work I edited the first post to show which characters were claimed by whom.

[AmbrosiaPudding]

Well if you do, I would love to play her.

I have added Sekhemt, I can see why you'd want to play her. Amazing Goddess.

[Rel Mayer]

Just a WIP. I'm unsure what other information I want to throw down to describe her as I put her together.

Name: Nut
Apparent Age: Late twenties/early thirties.
Actual Age: Immortal
Gender: Female
Race: Goddess
Orientation: Bisexual
Status: Goddess
Personality:

There are always two sides to characters that are forced into marriage. While one side of her continues to struggle toward doing the correct thing, being an idealistic mother, and a serene and calm face for all to see - there is often temptation that can bring the hottest fire out of her which would burn like the sun. Desire and temptation are the two biggest flaws of Nut while she tries to live a justified and moralistically positive influence to the other Gods and Goddesses. Attempting to be wise beyond her years, but often finding herself with skewed with the selfishness of her own desires.

Still, for the majority of the time she can be a woman of great advice and compassion. Willing to help foster and raise people into a higher and positive light - an almost spiritual healer.

[Kokaine]

I am interested in this. My first choice was named by someone else (Sekhmet) but I'd be willing to give Isis a go.

[la dame en noir]

Can I be put down for Sekhmet please?
