"So!" spoke a figure emerging from the temple of Aker. A thin figured woman, with long black hair. "You have come forth to be a caretaker of 'deshret miew ne netjerew'? Very well. You don't look worthy to me, but Aker is trusting with his children. I'm sure you get along just fine with one of the creatures. Keep in mind, they are very powerful and do not take kindly to mortals at first. Only those who are true, can properly bond with one of the 'deshret miew ne netjerew'. I'll show you around."

"Here is one of the older 'deshret miew ne netjerew'. Your's may not look like that one at all, but that gives you an idea of what you're getting in to. Also by the time they reach that age they will have bonded with another, normally a mate. They only breed with their choosen partner."

Stepping into a hall the woman waved her had dismissively. "I suggest you study up, I'll leave you here. Good luck!"


(Our first adult. The shading has changed a little, but you get the idea xp )


You're Role
You are a person from the near by villiage. You came to the temple of Aker to obtain one of his children, which is a very high right. It is anicent Egypt so there is no technology. You can be either from a rich, poor, or middle class family, but you cannot be royality(unless I say you can.) Keep in mind you are simple minded and believe heavily in the gods.

Gift of Jewelry Stage
At this stage you go forth into the desert with the jewels and pray to Aker to bless you with one of his children. If you are lucky he well send forth a child.

Child Stage
At this stage the desert cat will not wander far from your side. They are shy, but they do not listen to a word you say. They are extremely demanding and you are forced to server them night and day until they learn to respect you.

Teen Stage
This could be a good stage or a bad stage. If you failed to properly treat your child it will be a very aggressive teenager. Luckily you can turn this around and please it before it hits an adult. If you pleased it as a child you'll find it obeys some commands and is less demanding.

Adult Stage
If you failed to make it happy at all, then it will most likely kill you or massively wound you. After this it will leave you and we will have to pray to Aker to take back his child or we will have a very dangerous rogue desert cat hunting through the villiage at night. If you managed to please it then you'll find it's a wonderful companion and it always listens to you.

Originally I planned on having them breed naturally, such as a female and a male having babies. I lean more to that kind of thing. I'm traditional, but I accept others choices. Desert cats will not breed traditionally.

You will be required to have a manu and bakhu desert cat. These two can combine their life energy and send it to the gods, where there will be desert cats born of their energy.

A priest will need to be present. He will be required to determine how to fashion the tail braces and collars to apply to the children. Caretakers will have to pay for the materials used and the time of priest.

Two to four desert cats will born.

Cost: 6000g
