Face Claim: Tara Emad

Personality: Sunset, having murdered a king, killed herself, been half-reincarnated, fully reincarnated, killed by a pit of scorpions and reincarnated yet again, is very cautious and pragmatic in her outlook on life. She distrusts grand schemes and ambitions and tends to find joy in the simpler things.

The constantly changing nature of the world fascinates her and she finds strange joy in learning new ways and new peoples. It is also amusing to her how what is considered shocking and new, at least some of it, in this current age would not have been so out of place in her day. One the other hand, she pities the fact that the true gods have been forgotten, and thinks that those who imagine themselves as living gods these days are fools at best.

She has little interest in modern technology, as she always felt that material things were the purview of slaves, and thinks lesser of those who do their own work. In her mind, the spiritual devastation of the modern world more than undoes any gains in petty materials. All of the pleasures that a person needs were known four thousand years ago the way she sees it. That being said, she isn't willing to give up on the world yet, and would like to spend some time bringing it back into the sun.

History: Thousands of years ago, Ankhesenamun was the High Priestess of Amun, Bodyguard of the Pharaoh, and his most prized concubine. The Pharaoh forbid her from touching any other, although she did not love him. She fell for the priest Imhotep, who promised her a life of neverending joy, and together the two of them killed the Pharaoh. She killed herself afterwards. Imhotep promised to raise her again. However his ritual was interrupted, and he himself was cursed and entombed alive.

Much later, he would rise as the undead, and once again attempted to bring his love back. He was interrupted by members of the society that fought such things, and Ankhesenamun's soul was returned to the world, but not to her body. As a result, she was now doomed to be reincarnated rather than resurrected.

Her soul found a home in a crime lord named Meela Nais, who found the memories of the ancient priestess quite useful. She sought out Imhotep again out of a desire to become more powerful through the mummy completing his ritual. Unfortunately they were defeated again, Ankhesenamun turning away from her love in disgust at the last moment, which led to her herself also being consumed in a messy fashion.

Her soul unable to find peace, she this time allowed it to find its own way and was born again as a young child. The current reincarnation of Ankhesenamun was born twenty-eight years ago. Her soul slowly awoke as her body aged, and by the time she was twelve she was fully aware of who she used to be. She left her home early, leaving her parents confused and worried, and embarked on becoming something of what she once was.

She preached the wisdom of Amun to those who would listen, demonstrating his gifts to a select few and more subtly to those who would listen, and slowly a small congregation began to grow around her. She focused on the wealthy, many of whom were eager to have the blessing of an obscure god, and something of a cult was slowly formed that spread through the wealthy of Egypt and is spreading into the Middle East and through the Mediterranean. Comfortable due to the significant tributes that her followers paid her, she enjoys what is to her at least, a humble existence as a spiritual leader.

Unfortunately her peaceful existence was disturbed as she became aware of an ancient prophecy that she knew others of her ilk would seek to take advantage of. Angered by this she determined she needed to go to Eastern Europe to either put it to an end, or make sure she was a part of it.
