If you're here, then I'm guessing that you want to be a part of my new Miraculous RP. I'm also guessing that you've read the rules, but just to confirm, put the password from the RP here before you post your bio. Anywho, let's get onto the meat of what this discussion is for, other than bios:
1.) Character Construction Pointers:
Some of you might be looking for a bit of help as to how to create historically accurate characters. Well, fret not, because here's a guide! Now, first of all, some of you might need some ideas for Egyptian names, so, I've made a little list of some names from back then:
Male names: Nebamun, Horwedja, Aharon, Seti, Abasi, Rameses, Amenhotep, Ipuki, Bay, Yuya, Setka, Pamiu.
Female names: Nefertiti, Takhat, Kiya, Imi, Isis, Maia, Merti, Tia, Aneksi, Bakht, Tiye, Sadek, Rai, Kemanut.
Secondly, you're going to need ideas for outfits, both in and out of costume for your characters. Be sure to design them according to what class you want them to be from:
Noble ladies, such as royal family members, royal advisors and supervisors, priestesses, and tax collectors tended to shave their heads and wear wigs, often with braids and gold hair ornaments. They also wore long, often white gowns, with heavily bejewelled gold collars, and sandals. Lapis lazuli was an extremely important stone to the Egyptians, and many wore jewellery with it.
Noble men, who shared similar occupations, also shaved their heads, most of the time. They favoured white kilts, white tunics, and sandals, as well as gold cuffs and pendants.
The middle class consisted of soldiers, doctors, and skilled workers, such as jewellers, potters, bakers, embalmers, storekeepers, scribes, etc. Women from this class wore similar jewellery to the upper class, but theirs was made from colourful porcelain beads, and feathers, instead of with precious stones. Some would wear very simple sandals, if any shoes at all. Men from this class would also wear tunics and kilts, but theirs wouldn't be as of high quality as the upper class.
The lowest class of Egypt consisted of farmers, servants, slaves, and prisoners of war. Women from this class would wear very simple wrap-around gowns, and no shoes or jewellery. Men would wear thin linen kilts or very basic tunics.
And now that you've found a name, and read my little pointer about character appearances, you need a miraculous. Well, since this is set in Ancient Egypt, I thought it would be cool if everyone's miraculouses were themed around the animals of the gods from Ancient Egyptian religion, otherwise known as Kemetism. You don't have to do this if you don't want to, but it's just an idea. If you do want to do this, however, and need some ideas for powers, here's a few bits about the deities:
Thoth: The god of writing and knowledge, who was depicted as an ibis (A kind of bird). He was also associated with the moon, having won some of its light, and used it to extend the months by a week.
Menhit: A warrior goddess, said to smite the foes of Egypt with fiery arrows. She was depicted as a lioness.
Ra: The god of the sun, and by association, growth, and warmth. He was depicted as a falcon.
Hathor: Goddess of love, joy, and beauty, who was sometimes depicted with cow-like features.
Ammut: A demon who had the head of a crocodile, the midsection of a lion, and the rear end of a hippo, said to punish evildoers by devouring their souls when they arrived in the land of the dead.
Isis: Goddess associated most strongly with magic, healing, and motherhood, who was sometimes depicted as a scorpion or a sow. She was the sister of Osiris and Horus (But in some texts, she was the wife and mother of the two, respectively)
Ma'at: Said to be creation incarnate, and considered to be responsible for truth and justice, whose feathers were used to judge the dead when they arrived in the afterlife. She was also the the wife of Thoth.
2.) Warnings and Banning
Break any of the rules in my opening post, and you will be asked to edit your posts, to remove the offense. If you refuse to do so, you will be asked to leave, and to delete your posts. If you try to join again after being asked to leave, you will not be allowed back in, and the RP will continue without you. Break any sitewide rules, and you will be banned from my RP effective immediately, and reported. Clear?
3.) Plot
Primarily, this discussion should be about the plot. Ideas for new enemies, personal conflicts for characters you want to set up, reveals, or other gubbins, should be discussed here so we can agree on them. Before we begin, I'm gonna tell you a bit about some important characters:
Pharaoh Seti The First: The current king of Egypt, and the father of Takhat and Abasi. He strives to be a good ruler, however, his fear of disobeying the gods keeps him from making a lot of positive changes for his people.
Horwedja (Hawk Moth): A sixteen-year-old boy, born into a family of servants. He hates the upper class, as he and his family have been treated horribly by them for all of their lves, and he's out for revenge against them.
By the way, if anyone else would like to be a prince or princess, let me know. There will only be one spot for this, so it's first come, first served.
