Yo.
The name's Ray, how're you?
My parents sometimes try to call me by my dead twin sister's name- Sarah- but they feel bad afterwards. I didn't really know her, however, so I don't really cry about her.
I'm eight years old, and help run a gang called the Black Widows, so what's wrong with that? At least I'm showing these younger shits to ********' stand up for themselves- since their little p***y parents won't do it. I go to a private school, so a lot of those pricks ask for my help there, while the teachers sit there and hate me, so whatever.
So I'm showing kids of all types that even if you do look girly because of some stupid disease, you can overcome it. And it took me a while, but I started to get a good rep around the regular kids in the City, and my name was respected widely across Middling.
That is, until some Game started happening, and I lost my flare- and almost my home.
The monsters that came by a while back nearly totaled my house, and my parents are basically ******** if they want to sell it anytime soon, so we have to wait until our house is all fixed up before I can roam the streets again.
Oh, and my school was completely destroyed, so I don't know if I should take the monster's side or not anymore.
I should really start sneaking out more, though, since its winter and I really want to see some of the freaks that actually are in the Game.Quote: Godling's Name: Sarah "Raymond" Torrica Godling's Age: 8 Godling's Gender: Female, although everyone thinks she's male God/Goddess: Bastet (Bastet is the official goddess, but she appears to Sarah as both Bastet and Bast) Appearance: Sarah is still very young, keeping her childlike qualities of being small and chubby, but having womanlike curves and breasts(Even though they are usually bound) despite her age and gender appearence. Her hair is a pale light brown, straight and short and usually tied in a ponytail. Her eyes are silver on the inside, and turning gold on the outside rim of the iris. As she changes, she will start to form the head of an Abyssinian Cat, and the claws, paws, and tail of an African Lioness. How do their supernatural traits relate to their god?: Being a godling of a goddess of fertility, Sarah matured way earlier than she was humanly supposed to. Her parents were led to believe that it was a genetic mutation, but it is really a gift from Bast. Also a godling of a goddess of perfume, will have a pleasant scent following her. As she develops, her scent will change as the person who can smell her will smell their favorite scent. Planned powers, and how do they relate to their god?: She will have an ability to attract many cats around her at every stage because of Bastet being a 'Mother Cat'. She will gain the ability to be able to morph into an actual full-length Abyssinian cat or African Lioness based on her emotions, but she won't gain the ability to control when she changes until later. Pure anger and tiring at night will turn her into a Lioness (A lion cub at the newbie stage), and love, bliss, or tiring in the daytime will turn her into an Abyssinian Cat. Personality: When she is under her Raymond identity, she is nothing but a punk with a nasty mouth (Seriously, '********' and 's**t' is his entire vocabulary. XD), but under her original identity, she a very shy-natured girl. Background: Ginger and Toby Torrica had always wanted a boy so they could afford to send him to the cheaper private school for boys. When they had Sarah, however, they did not try to save their money for another private school; they instead disguised Sarah as a boy, giving her the sidename "Raymond". The parents got her into the habit of wrapping her chest so no one would notice if she started developing breasts early- their planning ahead pulled off. A few days after her first day of school, she experienced her first 'monthly cycle'. Afterwards, she began to go through puberty. When the Schoolboard asked why she had such a figure, Sarah's parents blamed the girlish figure on Klinefelter's Syndrome. A few years later, the girl was used to her Raymond identity, and started believing it was her original identity.

(Sarah does not currently know Bast.)Quote: In Egyptian mythology, Bast (also spelled Bastet, Ubasti, and Pasht) is an ancient goddess, worshipped at least since the Second Dynasty. The centre of her cult was in Per-Bast (Bubastis in Greek), which was named after her. Originally she was viewed as the protector goddess of Lower Egypt, and consequently depicted as a fierce lion. Indeed, her name means (female) devourer. As protectress, she was seen as defender of the pharaoh, and consequently of the chief god, Ra, who was a solar deity, gaining her the titles Lady of Flame and Eye of Ra. Bast was originally a goddess of the sun, but later changed by the Greeks to a goddess of the moon. In Greek mythology, Bast is also known as Aelurus.
Later scribes sometimes named her Bastet, a variation on Bast consisting of an additional feminine suffix to the one already present, thought to have been added to emphasise pronunciation. Since Bastet would literally mean (female) of the ointment jar, Bast gradually became thought of as the goddess of perfumes, earning the title perfumed protector. In connection with this, when Anubis became the god of embalming, Bast, as goddess of ointment, came to be regarded as his mother, although this association was broken in later years, when Anubis became Nephthys' son.
This gentler characteristic, of Bast as goddess of perfumes, together with Lower Egypt's loss in the wars between Upper & Lower Egypt, led to a decrease in her ferocity. Thus, by the Middle Kingdom she was generally regarded as a domestic cat rather than a lionness. Occasionally, however, she was depicted holding a lionness mask, which hinted at suppressed ferocity. Because domestic cats tend to be tender and protective toward their offspring, Bast was also regarded as a good mother, and she was sometimes depicted with numerous kittens. Consequently, a woman who wanted children sometimes wore an amulet showing the goddess with kittens, the number of which indicated her own desired number of children.
Due to the severe disaster to the food supply that could be caused by simple vermin such as mice and rats, and their ability to fight and kill snakes, especially cobras, cats in Egypt were revered heavily, sometimes being given golden jewelry to wear, and being allowed to eat from the same plates as their owners. Consequently, as the main cat (rather than lion) deity, Bast was strongly revered as the patron of cats, and thus it was in the temple at Per-Bast that dead (and mummified) cats were brought for burial. Over 300,000 mummified cats were discovered when Bast's temple at Per-Bast was excavated.
As a cat/lion goddess, and protector of the lands, when, during the New Kingdom, the fierce lion god Maahes became part of Egyptian mythology, she was identified, in the Lower Kingdom, as his mother. This paralleled the identification of the fierce lion goddess Sekhmet, as his mother in the Upper Kingdom.
As divine mother, and more especially as protectress, for Lower Egypt, she became strongly associated with Wadjet, the patron goddess of Lower Egypt, eventually becoming Wadjet-Bast, paralleling the similar pair of patron (Nekhbet) and lioness protector (Sekhmet) for Upper Egypt. Eventually, her position as patron and protector of Lower Egypt, lead to her being identified as the more substantial goddess Mut, whose cult had risen to power with that of Amun, and eventually being absorbed into her as Mut-Wadjet-Bast. Shortly after, Mut also absorbed the identities of the Sekhmet-Nekhbet pairing as well.
This merging of identities of similar goddesses has lead to considerable confusion, leading to some associating things such as the title Mistress of the Sistrum (more properly belonging to Hathor, who had become thought of as an aspect of Isis, as had Mut), and the idea of her as a lunar goddess (more properly an attribute of Mut). Indeed, much of this confusion occurred to subsequent generations, as the identities slowly merged, leading to the Greeks, who sometimes named her Ailuros (Greek for cat), thinking of Bast as a version of Artemis, their own moon goddess. And thus, to fit their own cosmology, to the Greeks, Bast was thought of as the sister of Horus, who they identified as Apollo (Artemis' brother), and consequently the daughter of Isis and Osiris.
-
Bast(Bastet, Ubasti) Egyptian cat goddess. A goddess of the home and of the domestic cat, although she sometimes took on the war-like aspect of a lioness. Daughter of the sun god Re, although sometimes regarded As the daughter of Amun.Wife of Ptah and mother of the lion-god Mihos. Her cult was centered on her sanctuary at Bubastis in the delta region, where a necropolis has been found containing mummifiied cats. Bast was also associated with the eye of Re' acting as the instrument of the sun god's vengeance. She was depicted as a cat or in human form with the head of a cat, often holding the sacred rattle known as the sistrum.

Well, I don't really know many people outside from my mom, dad, and my gang- but something says I should start finding out more about the freaks in the Game since I'm going to try to get in it.
Keeya- I didn't really have much time to talk to the girl, but she seemed nice. But I think nice isn't going to do much good for her here...
Writ- I met Writ before I was officially in the Game, so he still thinks I'm Ray and Ray's sister at the same time... But I consider him a friend.
Ciro- Eh, he was a bit of a p***k when I met him, but I can guess why. Having to deal with a failed rescue mission could dampen anyone's day.

The Power's Holder
Newbie Rank:
Perfume: Sarah has a natural odor that tricks the senses of others to believe it's their favorite smell. For example, if one likes the smell of lavender, she will smell like lavender every time they are near her. A different person might smell something else at the same time, however.
Attraction: Sarah can attract many cats to her naturally. These cats are basically brainwashed, so she can use them for defense or she can control them to attack.
Transformation: Sarah can transform into an Abyssinian or a Lioness cub given the right circumstances, although it is very rare that she will.
