Name: Ankh Kouri
Age: 18
Height: 5'8"
Physical Appearance: Ankh has long, tousled black hair that constantly falls into his eyes. He has coffee-brown skin and bright blue eyes that look silver in the right light. He has a slightly muscular frame, despite him skipping the gym a few days in the week.
General Clothing: Ankh typically can be found wearing a black t-shirt and dark navy jeans with beat up gray sneakers. Sometimes, he will wear a blue hoodie with the hoodie up. When at work, he wears a black tux with a blue tie or bowtie and black dress shoes.
Personality: Serious, blunt at times, and firm, many assume that Ankh is a stick in the mud that doesn't know how to have fun. And/or that he's as grim and dark as the business he takes part in with his mother. In truth however, Ankh is a big teddy bear with a huge heart. Though it may take a while to gain his trust or get on his good side, once you're there, you're there, with few exceptions. He will go to great lengths to keep those he cares about happy.
History: There's no business like the funeral business! That's been Ankh's life in a nutshell since...forever, it seems. For as long as he can remember, Ankh and his mother have worked in an unfortunately popular funeral parlor in [blank]. Death has always been a part of life for Ankh. Because of this, he played in cemeteries as a boy and he didn't have many friends. He came to have an affinity for calming the grieved as he grew older.
Many times, he's asked his mother about his father, but his mother gave no reply. Seeing as he is an only child, Ankh is close to his mother, which has led many to tease and taught him as being a "Momma's boy" (on top of the plenty of other comments because of his family's line of work and his usual playgrounds).
Ankh hopes to go to college and pursue his own passions, perhaps even finding a new line of work. After all, running a funeral parlor is... ... ...well, not exactly where he wants to be his whole life. As he puts it, "I want to help the living as they are living, not the dead once they've died and the living that they bring with them to the parlor."
Godly Parent: Anubis, Egyptian god of cemeteries and embalming (mummification)
Abilities: Ankh can help those are grieving in any way cope with their loss to the point where they are ready to move on within a few moments of being by his side, despite him having no idea why his presence is so comforting.
Ankh is an excellent judge of character. If you're lying or trying to make yourself seem like someone you're not, he knows it.
If there's a ghost around (or many, for that matter), he can talk to it (or them). Then again, he hasn't exactly seen a ghost, so he doesn't know he can do this.
Weapon of Choice (In the future): Steel Khopesh (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khopesh (Khopesh - Wikipedia)) with gold hieroglyphs inscribed into the blade (when translated, they read: "Beneath the light of Ra, there is Life").
Other:
- He's a master at preserving food [lol]
- He loves pomegranates
- He knows English and Arabic
- He has a slight Arabic accent that becomes more noticeable when he is stressed/aggravated
