Djekhwati
”I'm a work in progress.”
Name: Jacob Waters
Title/Nickname: Thoth, Tehuti, Thrice Great, Great Cackler

Deity: Djekhwati
Mortal Age: 25
Height: 6'5''
Weight: 237 lbs.
Appearance and Personality
Eye Color: Silvery Blue
Hair Color: Black
Physical Description: medium length wavy hair. Clean shaven. Long coat. Glasses with a shape that matches the phases of the moon.
Likes: Teaching, learning, writing, languages, riddles, & strategy games
Dislikes: Lies & cheating
Fear: Being incorrect
Goals: To spread knowledge
Habits: Writing
General Personality: Curious, calm, and kind
Powers
Spheres of Influence:
Life: Fertility gods and healers alike find their home in this sphere. Plant life finds itself invigorated and empowered under the command of these deities, or perhaps the flesh of mortals heals in their very presence. These gods are tied intrinsically to the concept of life in opposition of death and will find the sick more readily fighting off illness, flowers blooming, and even the strength of others growing in their presence. Immune to poisons, they may bolster the strength of others and rejuvenate the dying, borrow the features of plants (thorns, photosynthesis, etc.), hide within plants as large as their body, and as their strength grows, generate plants from nothing at all, grant them immortality, and absolutely heal others. One has to wonder whether resurrection of others is out of the question. NOTE: Thoth's ties to Death as well as Life negate the automatic effects of this sphere. Also, Thoth's mythological ties to this sphere relate only to life force, and not the manipulation of plants and animals, though he is credited with creating life, healing Usir, and creating new better eyes for Heru after Setikh gouges them out, etc, and the Egyptian gods are all known to be able to take a multitude of animal forms.
Death: The escorts of souls and the travelers between worlds, this sphere’s rulers have power over travel from this world. Able to travel freely between the Underworld and the surface, these gods cannot be restrained; door nor gate may keep death from it’s quarry. While not able to heal others, gods of death may find that they can delay the fate of the mortally wounded, including their own, for a time. They may sense when someone dies, or is nearing that threshold, and perhaps even glean insight about one’s death by touching their body or a personal belonging. They may bring death to those who desire it with but a touch, and see the shades of those who refuse to pass on, casting them down where they belong. They may become immaterial for a brief time, and send the undead back below where they belong. With a touch, they may slowly drain vitality from the living. NOTE: Thoth lacks the ability to become immaterial, drain life, or grant death with a touch. He is an arbiter of the dead, not a reaper.
The Moon: Those gods who took up the mantle of the moon. Gods of this sphere can emit the brightness of silvery moonlight from their form, place lunar-bound curses such as lycanthropy, and experience greater physical prowess when the moon is high. They may use the moon’s light to cleanse an area of evil energies or imbue weapons with anti-magic lunar energy as well. Those who truly embodied the moon’s power may turn it into an eye and gain an aerial view of a small area. The truly powerful may even become a manifestation of moonlight itself, for a brief time. NOTE: Thoth primarily used this link to fashion 5 new days so that Nut could escape the curse of Ra that would prevent her from bearing children.
Personal Powers: As the god of wisdom and writing, Thoth can draw glyphs in the air or speak incantations for a variety of effects, and can fashion mystical and alchemical objects via these means.
Weaknesses:
Skills: Omnilingual, Excellent Calligraphy, Master Alchemist
History
Birthday: January 1st
Relations: Self-created, Husband of Ma'at, Father of Seshat, Creator of Ra
Birthplace: Crete.
Current Residence: Homeless.
History: Not much to say. He's a wanderer who lives for the moment, although centuries back he was torn to shreds by titans and abandoned in the woods after being reborn... Another reason why he loves nature and hates cities.
RP Mechanics
Fluff: His horns, while usually kept hidden via his powers, are visible to those that can see the truth, or to those that begin to go mad or drunk. Also, his eyes seem to shift kaleidoscopically between colors while he uses his abilities.
Minions: The Diwonusian Wine Cult & The Maenads.
