Because we focused on the snake...
We missed the scorpion... Long ago, the Egyptian Gods reigned supreme over all realms and, most importantly, as a team. The "good" ones helped the humans, who worshipped and prayed to them. Some of them were scared of these almighty entities though, and found ways to defend themselves against the less kind ones, like Set and Apep. However, some were taking it too far, and began killing the weaker gods, working off of those skills to form weapons against the stronger gods, though unsuccessfully. This caused war between man and god, with Apep rallying those who would follow him as well as summoning legions of beasts. With nothing but bloodshed being had, Ra employed Thoth to find a solution. The Knowledge God did, a spell. This spell destroyed the physical forms of all gods, casting their raw energy to all corners of the Earth. This stopped the war, but not the hatred. Humans still hunted supernatural creatures, imprisoning them and experimenting in them like animals. And they still do to the modern day. Werewolves, vampires, phoenixes and more were not left alone forever though. Thoth's spell was not permanent. Though the forms, memories and personalities of the originals were destroyed, their essence and power was not, and were drawn to new hosts to take over their duties. And as they grew up, completely reborn, they were discovered again. Most of them were accepted as they proved not all supernaturals were evil, and were allowed to live their lives with what they inherited, but some were not as welcomed. Automatically cast out just because of someone that wasn't them, much to the mistake of humans. Set's new incarnation has risen up to power faster than Apep ever did in the past, keeping to the shadows while causing chaos for the human world. Conflict between man and supernatural has risen again, and a group of the new gods made a pact to stop the quickly growing before they too are hunted again as well. For the benefit of the flowers...
We too water the thorns...

Summary He has his own brain--
So he can solve his own problems. Basically, the gods are no longer the reining force. Humans have started tolerating the supernatural who don't cause trouble, but that tolerance thins as Set's reincarnation picks up where Apep's past life left off. A group of the reincarnations have come together in attempt to stop the new vessel before all-out war erupts again. A few work on their own, but some prefer to have others watching their back. Rules > Forum Rules: Obey them. > Gods: One per person for now, and you must join with one to serve as your main character, but you can make other creatures as well. Demons, phoenixes, etc. Even something like a shifter. Doesn't have to be "Egyptian" cause in this rp, they are the only gods. We'll not even call them "Egyptian gods." Greek, Norse, etc gods don't exist in this verse. > Other Creatures: Have fun with this, but he reasonable. Also, if you have a werewolf or a vampire, please feel free to suggest having a pack or something. One of my characters is a werewolf and if other werewolves show up in the rp I would be open to a pack. > Activity: I understand we're all busy, but please try to give heads up, and don't just join and leave. > Post Length: No one-liners.

The Essence of Gods (Names with an "M" by them must be male, and ones with an "F" must be female to keep genders even. Also, by default, the reincarnations have enhanced senses, rerflexes, strength etc, but some are stronger than others.) Horus (M)God of War, Light and Sky. Was the King of the Gods before Thoth cast his spell. He was responsible for moving the sun and moon, working with Ra who battled Apep so he could bring light to the world each day. Horus has powerful photomancy and aeromancy, and is able to shapeshift into a falcon as well. He is also one of the physically strongest due to being a patron of war and protector of man. Set also took one of his eyes in battle, and never got it back. And, even his reincarnation is missing an eye, born without it. Set (F)God of Storms, Desert, Darkness and Chaos. Wanted to rule the gods, and did battle with Horus over the throne after murdering Osiris. He was responsible for bringing storms and water to the world, as well as creating vast deserts. As he became more twisted though, he gained power over darkness and chaos like Apep. He has control over the powers that come with his domain, like sand manipulation, possession and other dark magic. He can also shift into dogs, scorpions, crocodiles, pigs and even hippos. (I'm aware I have "F" by Set, but that is only cause my oc is a female and Set is the deity I'm claiming. Nothing more nothing less.) Ra (M)God of the Sun and Rebirth. He was one of the most important and powerful gods, as he had to battle the malevolent Apep every night while sailing the Mandjet, or evening boat, through the Duat (underworld), with Thoth while making the journey back on the Mesektet, or morning boat. Protected by his guardian, Wadjet, he brought light to the world with his Sun Disk. He has pyromancy, photomancy, enforce his will on weaker souls, and can shift into a falcon. Apep (M)Devourer of the Sun, God of Evil and Destruction. This deity was not necessarily "evil", more so an agent of evil. He kept balance in the world by spreading chaos and darkness while trapped in the Duat, battling Ra every night. Had strong shadowmancy, telekinesis, possession and mind-control. Can shapeshift into any snake, including a massive 50 foot serpent. Spending time in the Duat made him more docile than Set. Anubis (M)Patron of Death, God of the Dead and the Afterlife. Anubis was in charge of passing judgement upon the dead, and seeing their souls to their correct places. He might have had an eerie domain, but he was not evil at all. Powerful necromancy, telepathy and possession as well as able to enter and leave the Duat at will. Also able to summon Ammit as a bodyguard, and can shift into a jackal. Bastet (F)Goddess of the Home, Cats, Love and Music. She was one of Ra's protectors as well as one of the more popular goddesses, as many prayed to her for good living and fortune. Able to cast powerful warding spells against evil, sound manipulation, has immense strength and can shift into any feline. Isis (F)Wip Taweret (F)Tamer of Serpents, Goddess of Fertility, Childbirth, Infants and Protection. Taweret was another popular goddess, as she was prayed to for healthy babies and protection over children. Her strength and physical power rivals that of Horus, as it is said that nothing can match a maternal fury. Has powerful healing magic, calming spells and able to travel to the Duat at will. Can shift into a hippo, crocodile, and a lioness. She was also the only one who could soothe Apep, who was her husband in their last life.

King of the Gods (Horus)(Open) Lady of Darkness (Set) (Smokey Feather )Octavia Wells
A woman standing at 5'7, 24 years old with dark skin. Octavia's father was white, while her mother was black, giving her her mixed appearance. She wears a long glove over her right arm to hide scarring on her forearm, the scarring looking like something just tore flesh off. Good thing she's left-handed, as she has limited use of her right. She also likes to wear a necklace that resembles the Eye of Horus, and is actually the real deal. It appeared around her neck upon birth, and her parents left it. The necklace gives her the same powers as Horus, though at a weaker level. Tavie is actually a very friendly and outgoing, and has lots of friends, but they're all supernatural beings. Starting when she was little, she became very aware of how humans treated anything from werewolves to witches, and she didn't like it one bit. That was when she began to inherit Set's "dislike" for them. She began doing secret work until she was about eighteen or so, and then she disappeared for a year or so from her public life, though in turn started a life of pushing back against scientists, hunters and so on. The more they butt heads though, the deeper her anger takes root. Overall though, she is playful and has a surprising sense of loyalty. Patron of the Gods (Ra) (L’Éᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇʀ )Zafir Faris
A 37 y/o man standing at 5'11" and permanently exhausted, Zafir looks to most to be more of a straggling soul wandering around its final resting place. He has thick dark brown curly hair and scruffy facial hair. His eyes are accentuated by dark eye bags and he has a scar over his nose bridge and one running down the right side of his mouth over his lips. He has tattoos over his entire torso and on his face. He usually wears long coats over rather formal wear or biker leathers. Zafir is very serious and duty orientated. He has a hard time forming lasting connections and is generally wary of the intentions of others'. His visible exhaustion seeps into his personality. He always seems tired and prefers to avoid socializing and small talk. He prefers it when people ignore him and vice versa. He is rather callous and vicious and the only thing that keeps him in line is his feelings of obligations to his task. It is very hard to sway him from his path. Zafir is the bastard son of an influential and dangerous man. His mother passed away when he was young and his half siblings did not like him. He grew up isolated. Eager to prove himself, he fought for his father's approval viciously. Nowadays, he's exhausted of obligations and connections but he tries his best to fulfill the expectations others' have set for him. He never seems to be without his motorcycle.

Pinterest board: x Devourer of the Sun (Apep)(Open) Shepherd of the Dead (Anubis)Claimed Guardian of the Home (Bastet) (𝕃𝕪𝕤𝕤𝕒 )Piper Cordova
Piper is a 23 y/o girl of average size, standing at right around five feet and five inches tall when she stands straight up. She has lighter, fair skin paired with red-blonde hair, a nearly even mix of her irish and spanish heritage. Though her hair is naturally curly, she prefers to straighten it whenever possible in order to contain it better. Her eyes are dark brown and stand out starkly against her fair skin and bright hair. True to her irish heritage, she has smatters of freckles on her face, arms, and shoulders, though they tend to be faint unless she's out in the sun for long periods of time. Piper is a bit of a fashionista, taking a decent amount of care in making sure her outfits are orderly and look cute. She prefers fall and winter fashion, being a fan of boots and layering tank tops with warm sweaters or cardigans. Typically calm and collected, Piper appears friendly and approachable, with a sweet and charasmatic nature by default. Getting on her bad side, however, will envoke the wrath of her patron deity, who was known for being as frightening as she was loving. Piper can have an explosive temper when angered, and is prone to yelling and insults when she's feeling especially put off. She rarely gets violent with her anger, but is known to pace when she's feeling frustrated as a way to let out some of her anger. This fierceness also translates to her friendship and romantic relationships, making her incredibly protective over them and willing to do pretty much anything for them. {Open to suggestions for siblings/romance, ask 𝕃𝕪𝕤𝕤𝕒 } Goddess of Ma'at & Magic (Isis)Claimed Protector of Maternity (Taweret)(Open)

Additional CharactersChase Daniels (Smokey Feather )
A 25 year old werewolf standing at 6'3. His human form has a scar on his side that came from some sort of weapon, the long scar slashing from his left shoulder down across his torso to end at his hip. His werewolf form has fur the same colour as his hair, but his gray eyes gain a few good flecks, and he also has the option to take a bipedal or quadropedal form. Being a werewolf, he has a severe weakness to wolfsbane, and is stronger during full moons. Chase is friends with Octavia, helping her out with missions and such, as well as being like one of her helpers that manages a group of her more supernatural. He's a good guy though, very watchful and protective once you earn his trust. He tends to hold grudges though, and it takes a while for him to come round of you've lost his trust or friendship. {Open to have siblings, ask Smokey Feather }
Mykayla Bahati Grayson (Smokey Feather )
A 34 year old woman standing at 5'9, with a lean figure devoid of any scars or marks save for a tattoo of Tweety Bird on her left forearm (she was drunk when she got it.) She used to have the most beautiful brown eyes, but they were taken from her by people who hate supernaturals when she was only 10. Now she's just got empty sockets, and always wears shades. However, she has no problem getting around, or seeing when she wants. Mykayla was born as what's basically a clairvoyant. Before she lost her eyes, it was mainly just being able to have what's basically a "Spidey Sense", but after losing her eyes, she started evolving and developing her gift. Now, she's able to move around without eyesight, get a vibe on auras, can sense people within a certain radius, and can even see through another person's eyes for a short amount of time, though she can't control them or anything. Also, though this isn't necessarily a power, she's got a knack for herbs, both regular and magical, and has a vast knowledge of them, their uses, and how to combine them for positive or negative results. She mainly uses this knowledge to help powered people or supernatural people due to humans shunning so many. Her methods might seem a little dated compared to modern tech and such, but no less effective and even better in some cases. She helps those who know they'll be turned away or harmed by humans. As a person, she's not the friendliest, but she's not mean either. Usually, she'll take a neutral approach to you unless you give her a reason to be hostile. She doesn't express her anger often though, but she will let you know if you're messing with her. Mykayla's mostly just a chill person who lets you do you, so long as you don't annoy her. Her heart's usually in the right place though when she does act. She's like a spectator who'll throw a rock into the midst of things and see how people react.
Zeng Nan Xin (L’Éᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇʀ )
A 54 y/o werewolf appearing to be in his 40's and rather imposing, Nan Xin stands at about 6'0". He's tall and well built with a lean but well muscled frame. He always seems to be hiding his identity, clothed in varying jackets and hoodies. He wears a face mask over the lower half of his face. His hair whenever he doesn't cover it up with his hoods or hats is silver. It's one of the only signs of his age. He has a light tan complexion and amber eyes that appear gold in the sun. He has a scar over his left eye starting from just above his eyebrow down to his chin and another scar on his left side, starting from near his temple to jaw. He also has a long jagged scar over his neck though that one is usually covered up by his clothes. Nan Xin has a massive tattoo of a tiger standing along a rock cliff on the right side of his back, starting from his shoulder blade to his hip. In addition to that, on the left side of the tiger, instead of the classic dragon, he has a tattoo of a wolf in a similar manner to the tiger, along what looks to be the same cliff side. His wolf form is that of a black wolf with gold eyes. His flank is covered in scars though it's all underneath his fur and not visible, but the bumps and ridges are easily felt. He's not an especially large wolf whether he's taking a bipedal or quadropedal form. He's certainly well built and tall with long legs and a lean form, but it's very obvious from a glance that his strength lies in his speed. Nan Xin is a hard man to place. He doesn't seem to take anything seriously. He's laid back and his response to many scenarios makes it appear like he's not even interested in them regardless of how much attention he's paying to the situation. He's sarcastic and witty with a biting tongue. He enjoys conversing with people who can keep up with his terrible sense of humor and sometimes vicious wordplay. He's also rather mysterious. It seems no matter how much he talks, his past seems to be on lockdown. He never seems to give away anything important about himself. He's a lone wolf, he hasn't ran with a pack since his 30s. And, he's a trained trauma surgeon. Outfit: x x

Alphonse Fournier (L’Éᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇʀ )
A demon with an unknown age, though appears to be in his late 40's or early 50's. At a glance, Alphonse is a simply unassuming man. Standing at 6'1", he's handsome with a strong jawline and high cheekbones. He has an olive complexion and he looks like a clean cut businessman dressed smartly in a three piece suit complete with black leather gloves and oxfords. He has wavy hair with white dusting his temples and the middle of his hair and he grooms it in various styles. His eyes are dark oceanic blue and he has a rather muscular and lean build though he doesn't seem all that muscular underneath his suit. He has two knife scars across right cheek and one across lips. He has a heavily scarred body and his hands are also covered in small cuts. He has several tattoos. The first is of twin snakes curling towards the yin-yang symbol across his back, shoulders and upper arms. He has a king chess piece tattooed on his left wrist, the words 'Victorieux' on his neck, and 'Per aspera ad astra" tattooed on his hip. He has a demon form. His flesh in this form is an ashen dark grey and his hair is silver, nearly white. His nails are tipped with claws and his eyes are red. From his head he has two silver horns curled in. They resemble a water buffalo's horns. He also has a long black tail that ends with a spade-like tip. He has fangs and a snakelike tongue. As a demon he has an accelerated rate of healing, as well as enhanced senses, speed, and strength. It also seems harder to sway his will than most. His true name is his greatest weakness. He is also susceptible to taking great [if not mortal] injuries from silver and holy weapons. Those leave nasty scars and heal at the pace a human's injury would. Runes and holy grounds weaken his powers and the right runes can even be used to trap him.
A creature of chaos, Alphonse enjoys watching trouble unfold. He never seems to instigate problems himself seeing as he enjoys being in the mortal world. He's a very cunning and old creature, always looking twice before he leaps. He's rather good at manipulating others and he enjoys conversing and forming connections that will come to benefit him in the future. He is also merciless. He will not think twice about killing someone if they turn on him. He's elegant, meticulous, and well spoken. He rarely defaults to combat when problems arise but he has no qualms about ending things with bloodshed if that's the only option. He's rather well learned in many languages. It's unknown how long he's been walking the earth but his knowledge suggests he's nearly six thousand years old. His intentions are unknown and he seems to be doing what he wants rather than playing into the hands of some sort of higher order giving him instructions. He's highly neutral in the conflict and doesn't seem interested in serving either side. He is a very reliable source of information though.
Kingston Gregor (Smokey Feather ) WIP
A 50 y/o cryomancer with white skin littered with scars from past encounters, his most noticeable one is the scarred skin where his right ear used to be. 90% or so of it is gone, and that side of his face is scarred. His figure is 5'10 with lean muscles and the slightest limp when he walks. He prefers to have his hair a little short, and it is seen as black, though from age has been streaked with light and darker grays. And to match this hair is pair of lighter gray eyes with dark gray flecks. And, something cryomancers are known to do, he can cover parts of his body in frost/ice, chill his blood and make himself a little more dense and harder to wound. He can actually lower his body temperature so much where icicles hang from his limbs and ice matts his hair. King even develops blackened feet and hands on accordance to frostbite, though it heals right up when he raises his temperature, but he can't go beyond normal body temperature. And he must rest for a while after changing back, as it is impossible for him to bounce back so easily, especially cause he's human. With Kingston being a cryomancer, and years of practice, he has complete mastery over the manipulation of water, ice and so on though he prefers ice, but can use water. If he has access to water, he can make things out of ice. As a last resort, he will even use his own blood. Being a cryomancer, though this is rare, has conditioned and tortured himself to endure EXTREMELY low temperatures, thus him even surviving when he lowers his body temperature to the point of having icicles growing. And, though these aren't powers, he's a good eye with a gun and a crackshot with a bow and arrow. He's also got experience using knives and the like, all of this coming from his former run as a hunter, though those days are long behind him, though he will pick up jobs on the side. He doesn't hate other creatures or whatever though, only hunting who he believes to be causing trouble in general. As a person, King is pretty calm and docile. Much rather take a nap than do anything that involves moving. He's the type of man that comes through when you need him though, his drive to complete a task sometimes blinding his sight for self-preservation. It takes a while before he calls anyone a friend, but once he does he is extremely loyal and open. Always keeping an eye out for them, even though it looks like he's sleeping half of the time.

(I just narrowed everything down because both Wadjet and Bastet are known as Eyes of Ra, as well as Taweret being a goddess of protection like Bastet. Egyptian lore is so... complex, so I messed around a little :'3)

(Yes, but tbh I think it's a little fair to be able to pick from the many versions of Egyptian gods xD Bastet is still seen as a protector of Ra in this, but I have a little more credit to Wadjet cause she's seen on his Sun Disk)

(I would be more strict with the lore tho let's get real it's kinda impossible with Egyptian lore if we were including all or even just more of the gods, but I don't want a large rp in terms of members. Smaller rp is better xD Though once this gets going I suppose we can collect ourselves and be able to delve into it all some more)
