May I be Sekhmet?
She was often referred to as "The Flame" and was represented by sweltering heat. She was also given the title "Eye of Ra" along with several other goddesses. She was the patron of physicians and healers, her priests often regarded as the most skilled doctors. She represented Upper Egypt, while Bastet (often viewed as her counterpart) represented Lower Egypt.
She is the goddess of justice and is viewed as both a creative and destructive deity. She was also the goddess of destruction. Many worshipped her as "the destroyer" and "the Lady of Pestilence." She was known to be overtaken by bloodlust and is referred to now as a goddess of war, even though she was never worshipped as one.
Her consort was Ptah. Due to confusion with the duality of Bastet and Sekhmet, some thought that Bastet was Ptah's wife, but this is simply a confusion with the hieroglyphs or bad information. Dipictions of Bastet and Sekhmet were nearly identical, except for the color of their garments (green for Bastet, red for Sekhmet). But according to archaeologists and mythologists, Ptah actually married Sekhmet.
She and Ptah created a balance of creation and destruction.

Accepted! (But it was not misread hieroglyphs, Bastet and Sekhmet have simular hieroglyphs, and was later found out that Sekhmet, forced Ptah to marry her.)

Thanks. smile (It would still be misread hieroglyphs, though. The marriage was forced, but the confusion as to whether Bastet or Sekhmet married Ptah originally stemmed from the similar hieroglyphs [in older ones where Bastet had a lioness head])
Also forgot to add that Sekhmet is Hathor as the Eye of Ra. Sorry. ^^' But I would assume that for the sake of the RP, Hathor and Sekhmet would be separated.

can i be mut Mut, which meant mother in the ancient Egyptian language,[1] was an ancient Egyptian mother goddess with multiple aspects that changed over the thousands of years of the culture. Alternative spellings are Maut and Mout. She was depicted as a white vulture most often. She was considered a primal deity, associated with the waters from which everything was born through parthenogenesis. She also was depicted as a woman with the crowns of Egypt upon her head. The rulers of Egypt each supported her worship in their own way to emphasize their own authority and right to rule through an association with Mut. Some of Mut's many titles included World-Mother, Eye of Ra, Queen of the Goddesses, Lady of Heaven, Mother of the Gods, and She Who Gives Birth, But Was Herself Not Born of Any. Most of these titles reveal the worship of her as the primary mother goddess deity of ancient times.
her consert is amun

May I be Nephthys?
Nephthys is a member of the Great Ennead of Heliopolis, the second daughter of Nut and Geb. She was born on the fourth demon day, a day after Set (I think...) Her symbol was either a house or mummy wrappings. She was typically paired with her sister Isis in funerary rites because of their role as protectors of the mummy and the god Osiris and as the sister-wife of Set. Nephthys is occasionally regarded as the mother of the funerary-deity Anubis either by Set or Osiris. Also considered festive deity. The name "Nebt-het" means the "lady of the house," but by the word "house" we must understand that portion of the sky which was supposed to form the abode of the Sun-god Horus; in fact "het" in the name of Nebt-het is used in exactly the same sense as "het" in the name "Het-Hert," or Hathor, i.e., the "house of Horus." Nephthys was known in some ancient Egyptian temple theologies and cosmologies as the "Useful Goddess" or the "Excellent Goddess". Late Ancient Egyptian temple texts describe her as a goddess who represented divine assistance and protective guardianship In the earliest times Nephthys was regarded as the female counterpart of Set, and she was always associated with him. Nephthys often was depicted as a bird of prey called a kite, or as a woman with falcon wings, usually outstretched as a symbol of protection.
Nephthys, who was a faithful sister, assisted Isis in gathering and mourning the dismembered portions of the body of Osiris, after his murder by the envious Set. She also serves as the nursemaid and watchful guardian of the infant Horus.
Wow, this took me forever to come up with and type xD
AND can I also be a magician?

((People will become active again over time... I hope... When winter break comes along. Or maybe I shall start sending out random invites. I'm going to make a Half-blood, a child of Osiris right now, if you don't mind, just really bored and there's none at the time....))
