Hm... I'll probably go with Anubis, because who doesn't want to be associated with a god of the dead that has the head of a jackel.

Anubis, god of preservation and the dead it is! Your character's magical skills will probably have something to do with decay and preservation. (I can already think of spells like returning an inanimate object to an earlier, healthier state. =P)

In 15 more minutes, I will create the thread.
