Name: Michael D. Rios
Age: 17
Appearance: Brown skinned and dark eyed, Michael seems to already fit the description of an Egyptian magic user. He is a magic user no doubt, but is actually of Latin descent (but as far as he knows, there might be some Egyptian blood thrown in there somewhere). He has black and semi-long hair that comes down just above his shoulders, and he hates having it cut shorter than this. Michael's strong body, presence, posture, and gaze give off an air of pride and even superiority, giving others the impression that he is a rather haughty and authoritative person.
Godly Parent: Well, he doesn't have a godly parent, but he does happen to be the host for the Egyptian god known as Sobek. Sobek is the powerful and even violent god of crocodiles, rivers (the Nile especially), and strangely enough, protection. The crocodile god is prideful and does not hesitate to lead his host to crush anything that is unlucky enough to be opposing them.
Abilities: Egyptian Magic, proficient hand-to-hand and weapons combat
Weapons/Items:
- Sturdy magical staff which ends in the head of a crocodile. It is gilded with gold and embedded with many precious stones. It is a gift from Sobek.
- A strange magical, golden necklace bearing the hieroglyphics of Sobek's name. It doesn't seem to have any effect though, other than simply letting others know he is Sobek's host.
- Khopesh
Magic (will update this later):
Ha-di - "Destroy" - This is a spell which causes the target to explode.
Ha-wi - "Strike" - This is a spell used to strike the opponent; for people channeling the power of the god, the Fist of Horus.
Maw - "Water" - This spell summons water to douse the target (this one will come out as powerful stream of water that can either be boiling hot or freezing cold).
Sa-mir - "Pain" - Causes extreme agony for the victim.
Tas - "Bind" - This command spell causes any string-related object to wrap around a foe and can be used to control the Seven Ribbons of Hathor. It can also disable any present magic.
N-dah - "Protect" - This is a spell used to shield people or objects. It is stronger if used with protective circles.
Heqat - It is the command spell to transform a rod into a staff and to summon a staff.
I-ei - "Come" - This spell causes any god or mystical object to come.
"Avatar" (don't know the name for this)- summons the avatar of the hosting god for combat.
Personality: Michael is a strong willed and prideful person and doesn't take well to having his authority or strength challenged. Initially he may seem cruel and insensitive, but once he's deemed people close allies, he'll live up to the nature of his "patron god" and be extremely protective of them. Until then though, everyone is lacking and has much to prove.
Likes: Water, rivers, crocodilians, food, control, combat
Dislikes: His pride being challenged, weakness, cowardice
History: Despite being a user of Egyptian magic, Michael surprisingly does not have any ancestral relation to Egypt. He does however, come from a family that for generations lived researching cultures and their histories from around the world, taking a particular interest in that of Egypt's, where they then chanced upon secret (now not so secret) scriptures of the House of Life. Normally that would either grant people a death sentence or some sort of memory wipe, but fate had it that they would be spared as an act of rare mercy so long as they never told of the information they had learned. This was Michael's family's initiation into the mystical amd hidden world of Egyptian magic, in which they began to train for only a few generations.
After a few generations, Michael was born to two parents, the father being the magician. Naturally they had him follow in his footsteps and taught him for a few years before deciding it would be best for him to learn under Egyptian magicians, and to learn alongside magicians of his own age. It honestly was not too pleasant as he was always treated like a lesser person for having no significant ties to Egypt (a condition to hisaancestors being kept alive is that they were not allowed to intermarry with the House of Life). Despite these things, he continued practicing, and Michael eventually took up the path of Sobek because of the connotations of power it brought.
Sobek's path was harsh and brutal, but again, Michael still perservered and made it his mission to humiliate the magicians he had to train and work alongside with. This was done mostly through combat, and Michael had also tasked himself with dealing with creatures on his own. Sobek became impressed by his display of strength and skill, and not-so-secretly made Michael his host.
There were still some ulterior motives to Sobek's inhabiting of Michael's body, and one of those was to achieve the extra power provided by a bond with a human. Additionally, Sobek had grown wary of many disturbances in his territories and realm of the Duat, and decided he would need a host to discover answers. Moreover, he had also heard of Isis choosing a host who then went to work with Greeks, whom Sobek and Michael suspected could be responsible for the trouble.
