Egyptian Deities {Zontini Family, D11}

[d5b sergio quiverus [kap]]

[googlefont="Joti One:400"]The Zontini Family

In ancient times, sand blew across the land and pyramids stood tall as deities reigned over the people and were worshipped greatly. Slowly, however, as time went on, their power began to fade. The people no longer made sacrifices to them or statues in their honor. No, they’d eventually been forgotten. There was no bringing them back, either. As their followers vanished, so did they. With no one to believe in them, they could no longer exist.

In present times, wind blows across the fields of District Eleven as the people who live their harvest crops as they were ordered to do by the Capitol. The Zontini family, however, thinks this is below them. They think of themselves as Gods, and are even named as such. Imhotep, Khonsu, Horus, Serket, Thoth, Bastet, Shu, Geb, Set, Anuket, Hapi, Nephthys, Osiris and Anubis are the children of the Zontini parents, Ra and Tawaret. They all insist that people respect them, as they are quite a wealthy family. Their wealth comes from their father’s many fields he owns and pays people to harvest from. Then, he sells the crops for even more money, only further increasing the family’s profit.

Respect is what the Zontini family demands. If they are not given it, it’s likely they’ll get quite angry. The majority of the family is quite friendly, as long as you are respectful towards them. If not, however, they have quite the strong wrath. No matter how much all the siblings argue at home, they get along like angels in public, always wanting to keep their perfect image.

No one is to taint Panem’s picture of the Zontini family.

As many of you likely know at this point, between the REs, maps and mutts I’ve created for various Ratmas events, I’m quite obsessed with Egypt. I made Horus Zontini as a character quite a while ago and I really wanted to expand his family if people were interested. He’s based on the Egyptian God by the name of Horus, and I’ve named his siblings the same way. Now, of course, in the Egyptian deity family tree, lots of the deities in this plot wouldn’t be siblings. Instead, many of them would be related in different ways (parent and child, husband and wife, etc). I’m not, however, making it this way, as I wanted the chance for the family to be bigger.

I have named each character after particular Gods and Goddesses of Egypt. The only requirement when creating these characters is that you make sure that they are at least somewhat like their respective deity, in that they would make sense to be the God of something. For example, if you choose Serket, Goddess of scorpions, she can’t be terrified of scorpions. It’s pretty easy to make sure that you don’t make their personalities contradict themselves, as I’ve listed what they are the God/Goddess of next to their names.

Without further ado, please, let me know if you’d like any of these characters! You can fill out the form here or ask me on slack to join the plot!

wip, interested in both these guys <3

Your Name/Alias: Solo
Character You Want: Anubis
Character Ideas: My mother and father have told me I'm too quiet, that I need to get out more, make some friends. Not with the common folk, obviously. But maybe one of the richer families, as if we have any more of those in Eleven.
They just don't understand. I'm busy, I have an important job to do. Osiris is too obsessed with the miracle of life, which means that the duties of death end up falling on my shoulders. I don't mind. Death is quiet, calm, not as loud and intrusive as the world around us. He keeps a bunch of live things in his room, but when they die (and trust me, they will die), those things come to me. Bats, mice, finches, one time we managed to catch an entire squirrel.
It's my job to take care of them once they're dead. But first, I have to test their hearts.
"What good did you do?" I ask them, "Do you deserve a proper death?"
Sometimes the answer is yes. Sometimes they try to fight back, but I will always know when the answer is no. And when it's no, it's my job to burn them out of existence, because the last thing they deserve is safe passage to the underworld.
FC Idea: Brendan Meyer

Your Name/Alias: Solo
Character You Want: Bastet
Character Ideas: I've always considered myself the favorite child. Of course I am, why wouldn't I be? I'm the smartest out of all of them, there's no doubt about that. Most of them are complete idiots, bumbling around, making fools of themselves, and overall extremely boring to talk to. But I'd never say that to any of them. There's too much at stake. My honor, their respect. I'd lose it all if I so much as contradicted one of them. I know I'm the favorite, I just have to keep it a secret from the rest of them.
Thema is the only one who truly understands me. She's a pretty little thing, all furry grey stripes and bright green eyes. Elegant and clever, like me, not to mention resourceful. She likes to bring home mice or garden snakes when she's having a good day, although they're usually dead. I give them to Osiris or Anubis to play with. They need something to exercise their poor minds.

[nori halliday 🌻 d11a [Bella]]

Your Name/Alias: phresh
Character You Want: Osiris
Character Ideas: Osiris feels everything with the whole of his heart, the dawning of every day and the end of every night. He can go from being on cloud nine to being very grave and serious, but his moods are passing clouds and he never holds anything in his heart for long. His usual demeanor is quiet and sober. He loves to grow plants in his window, and to collect all sorts of living things from outside despite the protests of his mother. Life to Osiris is sacred and he takes death very seriously. I think this should be because maybe they kept a few pigs or something and he was taught at a young age why their death was necessary for food? He’s fascinated with cycles and learning how things work inside and out—taking things apart and putting them back together. Closest to Horus and Anubis.

I love your idea, nori halliday 🌻 d11a [Bella] !

Osiris is yours!

[Deleted]

Your Name/Alias: Jorg
Character You Want: Serket
Character Ideas: She is incredibly sharp witted and has a quick tongue, which comes across as stoic and cold. She isn't afraid to cut to people to pieces if they feel like they need a reality check as well. She is also sly and coy, and is willing to what it takes to get what she wants. Even if that means hurting people. Even with this in mind, she is incredibly playful and loves to dance. She even knows how to help people when she sees their worth and their value. And when she does, she becomes incredibly caring.

[d5b sergio quiverus [kap]]

Love your ideas, both of you!
dorian, I already told you you're in via slack.
@dreamerkid you're in as well!

[Arrows]

Your Name/Alias: Arrows the one and only (jk there's a million of me, haha I know I'm funny)
Character You Want: Anubis, woof woof
Character Ideas: You ready for this:
Its never easy being the better sibling. Its even harder when it comes in a set of three. From the beginning each of us strove to succeed beneath the shining sigil of our great house. Pride, Passion, Success. Each of these had to be the brightest guidelines of our personalities. I embraced such thoughts swiftly. Alas I'm a competitive soul, certainty drives my motivation. Osiris and I constantly push ourselves to improve but I sense resentment from our third set sister. Her thoughts of me bother me little as long as I stay superior in view to all others. 

Despite all my ways of appearing perfect, I am flawed beneath my surface and within the shadows I've learned to stalk in. There is a passion in me I cannot control, a burning desire deep in my every breath. I refuse to allow it to be caught by my family, such an act would be monstrous to our image. Death is my fierce fascination. Killing insects in terrible torturous ways, burnt ants beneath a lens of glass and light. I love the way I get to dispose of them entirely from this world. Burn them, bury them, dissect them, obliterate them. It gives me absolute power.

Sure, I might me twisted but at least I'm only a beast in the darkness and a prodigy in the light.

NOTE: It would be best if we could make the characters in this plot POC, as they are based on Egyptian Gods and Goddesses. Thank you!

[d5b sergio quiverus [kap]]

solo , Bastet is all yours! I really like the idea you have for her, as long as you can find a different faceclaim that resembles the family a bit more. When it comes to Anubis, however, I felt that it would be most fitting to give him to Arrows , but you are welcome to apply for others alongside Bastet! I look forward to what both of you do with these characters, and my only request is that you change their FCs to look more like the rest of the family.

Thanks, and welcome to the family!
