Mmk... Never made a game before... so if it seems like something you'd be interested in, if only it wasn't for one thing? Or maybe you could think of something to add just to be a little bit more organized, please tell!!!

1500 b.c.

The Nile river is a beautiful, but deadly body of water. The crocodiles lurk under the surface, waiting to snap at your leg. The scorpians stay hidden in the sand, waiting to sting your calf. The jackals darting out and nipping at your mule’s feet. However deadly, it remains mysteriously beautiful. Magical happenings are always taking place alongside it’s banks. The God’s favor this river, using it to appear before their servants. Horus, the God of Pharoahs, frequents the river more than the rest.

The city of Cairo is a beautiful one indeed. The marketplace is always bustling with friendly faces and fresh food. Slaves are always working, proud to serve their Pharoah. Children run about the streets, unafraid of being harmed. Some refer to Amenhotep’s kingdom as perfect. He’s a fair, caring leader; one that takes care of his people, and at the same time strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies.

Amenhotep tries his hardest to be the best possible Pharoah; whether it’s the duties of a King, Husband, or Friend, he gives everything he has to the relationship. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the rest. Some starve for the life of their Pharoah, coveting his entire existence. This put’s Amenhotep and his Queen, Auset’s, in a constant state of danger.

Queen Auset is incapable of giving her husband any children, so Amenhotep is forced to hand choose a successor from his royal cabinet. It seems like it would be an easy enough task, but when choosing a person to lead the people of Cairo you must be careful and wise about your decision.

__________________


The object of this game is to manipulate your way into the Pharoah’s heart, convincing him to name you as his successor. I will be playing the Gods, including Geb, using them to answer your character’s prayer, grant them certain temporary powers, or to just give advice. I will also be playing the public/army when mass congregation or performance is needed. The country of Sudan will be played by me as well, so as I can be truly fair, and still involved in the Rp. And just fyi, Geb won’t be winning, so don’t get frustrated. So basically, I control everything but you and yours. Which is why it will be important for you to create a “crew” for yourself, people to help you gain what you need, watch your back, and sneak around for you.

SETTING
The Pharoah, council members, and the rest of the royal staff are all sitting in the throne room of the palace. Everyone is dressed in their finest, the music is loud, the incense are strong, the entertainment joyus. The Egyptian Kingdom is partaking in the Feast of Anket, the welcoming of the rising waters in their Nile. Two days Prior, King Samir of Sudan declared war on Pharoah’s land. They had four more days to respond to the King, so for tonight, they celebrated.

RULES
-All RPG rules apply
-This is meant to be a mature Rp, but leave all Xrated images for our imaginations.
-For every rule you break, a God will come to your Pharoah concerned about your true intentions for Egypt. 3 strikes, you’re out.
-No “God Moding” or “Mary Suing”
-If you need to disappear for a while, that’s fine. Take your character with you. Make it relative to the story, but please make your character leave as well so there’s no confusion.
-Violence is fine, and expected. Please just work it out with your opponent either in the OCC first, or through a Pm.
-Keep OCC for OCC.
-All posts are to be at least one to two paragraphs; a healthy paragraph is anywhere from six to eight sentences.
-Remember, you can’t buy something for the man who has everything. You’ll have to come up with other ways of getting the Pharoah to trust you, probably wouldn’t hurt if the Queen favored you as well.
-The game will be over when Horus contacts Pharoah, suggesting a successor who will then be named.

Interesting , Is it cool if I'm the Pharaoh?

I have to say I'm interested. I've never quite had a roleplay like this...

If I did join, I would like to play as Chike. Nothing more influential to an Ancient Pharoah than his Religious Leader. If you get more people (and maybe help me with some of the Egyptian rituals/beliefs) I'd be more than happy to try out this roleplay

That's great! I can post some religious information after we get enough players, or pm you some before hand if you'd like. I'm sure it will be just as valuable to the rest of us, as well.

I would be interested, but wasn't Bastet a goddess, not a god?

Yes, she was, thank you. >.<

I would love to join in as either Nailah or Fukyana

Good. So have any of you maybe thought of anything that could make this more interesting, yet? Just some suggestions...??

Here's a link to some further information regarding the Ancient Egyptian religious beliefs. I'll probably narrow it down in the official OOC, but for now... you know.

I'm so unbelievably into this. I'd love to be the Queen. I've had a passion for Mythology for a long time and I've definitely checked out the Egyptians before. Isis is amazing.

Are you incorporating magic?

Yes, there will be magic. But it sources from the Gods, the only character that possesses the power to produce magic without praying for it, is Chike. The rest must perform a prayer ceremony asking the specified God to channel the magic through them.



So no one's any extra ideas or feedback besides your wanting to join? If not, I'm going to go ahead and set up an OCC, and wait for the rest of the characters on that.
