Character Name: Imhotep
Canon: Im: Great Priest Imhotep

Character Info:
Once upon a time during Egypt's Old Kingdom period, there lived a high priest of Thoth named Imhotep, who was praised as a genius who could do anything. But all his genius couldn't keep his best friend, the prince Djoser, from becoming a human sacrifice. In fact, Imhotep fucked up rescuing him so badly that he destroyed the Hell's Gate that had been keeping the god Apophis contained, and also released a host of false-god monsters called magai into the world. The gods of the Ennead punished Imhotep by putting him into stasis for approximately three thousand years, but he was later awoken in the modern day to fight back against the magai running rampant, and to finally face down the so-called 'Pharaoh of the Magai', none other than his corrupted friend Djoser.

SO that's a lot of serious background, but the tl;dr is that for being a heretic priest and a skilled spellcaster, Im is also a teenager that's dealt with a lot of tragic, earth-shattering events in a short period of time. He tends to put on a proud, stoic air as befitting a former high priest, but he's very dedicated to the few friends he has and can still get pretty silly every now and then. He'll be coming from near the end of the manga after a lot of plot twists and a huge battle has gone down, and since he's coming in with a canonmate he will be overjoyed that his best friend is inexplicably alive and well again. :')

(oh yeah it's worth noting that Im is uhhh actually the human personality of Thoth, one of many over the years created to continue recording history while the gods had withdrawn from the mortal world. While Im's great abilities stem from this heritage, he's lived his whole life as a human and doesn't have direct access to Thoth's power.)

PLOTTING!
Monster Ideas: Definitely eying harpy for him, specifically one fashioned on the African sacred ibis. Don't worry he's not getting the big long beak
Vehicle Ideas: In canon Imhotep has a spell that can summon Ra's solar barque to shoot lasers at people. I'm thinking he's going to be getting a smaller version of that ship on wheels, without any laser-shooting abilities. Aside from looking very fancy, it'll have a little hut on top for sleeping or storage ala the Khufu ship.

Game plans: Im is a priest of a moon god, and seeing the moon in the state it's in here is going to mildly freak him out. He's going to assume that Thoth brought him here for a reason even if he doesn't know quite what that is yet. Also, Im is likely to see the monster transformations that are more animal-esque in nature as some sort of blessing. In a weird way he can kind of vibe with the lore we know of the setting so far, just because from his perspective animal traits are a symbol of godly power. Which gods, though, is a good question...

Otherwise Im will be coming in with a healing spell for sure, though his other two abilities will probably be more combat-worthy spells. I'd really just love for him to get to know the other characters and to take the time to sit and process all the crazy shit that's happened to him tbh.

Desired CR: Anything! Positive, negative, throw it at me. I'd love for Imhotep to get to know other people near his age, but he can also get along fine with adults given how super-competent he tends to be.

Other: I discovered ancient egypt memes, send help

[andnevermore]

as an ancient egypt nerd I groaned out loud at that meme, A+

[hellsgatekeeper]

I can't go back now that I know there's history memes, most of them are perfect

[forsakensun]

Heeeey, best bud~!!

[hellsgatekeeper]

Hello, treacherous snake

[forsakensun]

Aw, don't be like that! I mean, who did I even really betray?

We should be friends, now that you're going to get your own taste of gettin' down and dirty as well~

[hellsgatekeeper]

Well you tricked me the gods count, don't they?

And these monsters aren't as ugly as the magai, so is it really the same thing?

[forsakensun]

Objection! You can't really betray somebody that's betrayed you first, can you?? If you know Thoth's memories, then you know that it wasn't me who started it!

Dunno. Killing is killing, isn't it? and the stronger magai look pretty nifty, excuse you!

[hellsgatekeeper]

But you were the one that started attacking them over it! I won't deny that they held a great deal of responsibility, but did you really think that would help matters?

Have you always been so careless about lives, or is that a godly attribute?

[forsakensun]

Then what, should I have just let them talk shit about me and have their followers hunt mine and destroy my temples and done nothing? Turned the other cheek till they finally got tired of hitting it? That wasn't ever gonna happen and you know it! So nah, they don't get to complain about being bitten after throwing that rock. And sure, it didn't particularly help -- but it felt hella satisfying wiping the smug look off their faces with my fist!

And it's 100% human influence, buddy.

[hellsgatekeeper]

Hmph. Then perhaps they did deserve it. I won't stand here and defend the god's poor choices.

It is when you involve humans that you prove you're just as uncaring and cruel as they are.
