Well, I'm extremely sorry for all the delays. This is the first RP out of several I cooked up. I hope you all enjoy them.
(Just a side note here before I begin this one. I am basing a few pointers of this one off of Rick Riordan's "The Red Pyramid". Namely, the fact that the gods (in order to walk the world freely) must have a human host. Ok, beginning...)
Ancient Egyptians have always been regarded as incredible. They have one of the earliest systems of writing, they built massive sculptures and tombs, and other great contributions. However, the one greatest thing that they gave us was the knowledge of their gods. This was important, but no one in the year 2012 knew that. However, the time was coming. The gods were waking up.
Set, god of the desert (and sometimes called the god of evil) has risen. He has made a deal with Apophis, the serpent god of dissolution and darkness. He has freed Apophis from her eternal torment, and together the two of them are to remake the world in their image and rule over it for all time. However, individually they both plot to destroy the other once their work is done.
In answer to this, the other gods are waking. They are finding their way into human hosts and are preparing themselves for war. Some are against Set while others are with him. The ones who wish the world to stay the way it is are collected under the banner of Ra, the eternally sleeping sun god. The next few weeks and months will determine if the world really does end like the Mayan's seemingly predicted.
Ok, now for a bit of an explanation. There are 5 sides a god can be on.
1. The side of Ra. Ra cannot be used as a character, but he is a force for good.
2. The side of Set and Apophis. Enough said there.
3. Neutral (feelings) This type of neutrality means that the god is not one to take sides quickly, but could take either side at a moments notice. Nephthys is an example of this kind. Set is her husband, but she often disagrees with his choices.
4. Neutral (persuasion) This type of neutrality means exactly what it sounds like. The god will not take sides unless persuaded to do so. Thoth is an example, as his many talents make him tentative to join any side.
5. Loyal to another god. Essentially this means that the god in question's alliance is determined by another god. They fight for whatever side the god in question wishes them to fight for. The character I will take, Anubis, is an example. As the lord of embalming (or nowadays, funerals) he is loyal to Osirus, god of the dead.
Ok, the gods I am about to list are by NO means the only ones you can be. A (complete?) list is available here (also has brief descriptions of the gods). The following gods are fairly major to the plot. Gods in red are necessary for the plot to be taken. Any god in red not taken by the time we start I will take over until someone else wishes to join.
Gods under Ra.
Horus
Isis
Osirus
Ma'at
Gods under Set and Apophis
Set
Apophis
Kuk
Sobek
Neutral (feelings)
Bast
Nephthys
Neutral (persuasion)
Thoth
Loyal
Anubis (to Osirus)
Ok, character sheet
1. Name of human
2. Age
3. Gender
4. Possessed by god?
5. If yes, who?
6. Bio of human.
--------------------------------
name: John Philip
age: 20
gender: male
possessed by god?: yes
who? Anubis
Bio: John had a dark childhood. His parents died when he was 10 of a devastating illness. He grew up with an aunt who was on the verge of death half her life. As he grew up, John realized that he wanted to help others who had lost loved ones. As a result, he is planning on becoming a funeral house director, currently studying mortuary science at a small college in Missouri to achieve this. His wish to become a funeral director made him an ideal host for Anubis. John does not know Anubis is there. Anubis has no need to overtake John's mind to pull the strings himself, instead preferring to work in harmony.
