My first post is an RPG! Wow.
I've had a look around and there's a lot of talent out there, so some of it's bound to rub off on me, right?
I want to make this a three part RPG (am I allowed to do that?), because the basis for a trilogy is easier than doing it all in one hit.
This is the beginning. "Part II: Battle" is the middle, and "Part III: War" is, of course, the end.
Below is a bit about the story.

[color=chocolate][i]Anubis watched from his Temple below the Earth as the old priest slowly shuffled along to the Monument with the sacrifice held out in his straight arms in front of him.
Tonight was the night of Worship and Sacrifice, and Anubis would choose someone to journey for him, in the world of the living.
Behind the old priest trailed a line of younger priests, all carrying large scythes, keeping the citizens at a good distance, so that they could not interfere with the sacrifice Ritual.
On a nearby hilltop sat a ring of jackals, yapping quietly.
"Soon my sons, soon. Sit and wait... for now..."
Whispurred Anubis, and the jackals fell silent.
The priests felt shivers run down their spines, the citizens quietenned and settled down.
Far above, in his royal Temple in the skies, Horus watched with only one eye, the Moon.
"Anubis, speak to me..." whispers from Horus called about the Immortal Realm, "What do you seek to do?"
"Nothing, dear friend...just wait and watch...I shall tell you all I tell my sons..."
The priests were at the foot of the Monument by now. The old man holding the sacrifice above him, the younger priests stepped back as he tilted his head back and howled.
The sacrifice, a goat, moved uncertainly, then began to thrash about as Anubis told it what was about to happen.
The old man dug his sharp fingernails into the flesh of the goat and began to rip at it, letting the blood drip over his face and into his mouth.
One of the younger priests turned his head away slightly, but the others raised their weapons and forced him to watch.
The jackals began to yap again, and Anubis let them go. They raced down the hill towards the old priest.
"Anubis, [b]no[/b]!" Horus' voice rattled the winds, and it was then that the mortals realised what monstrocity they were worshipping.
The old priest began to convulse, his arms and legs thrashing about violently.
The jackals, five of them, all leapt at the man's chest, and vanished into him.
From the old priest's chest, where the jackals had gone, four men stepped out, each with the head of a jackal. The old priest stopped moving, and his face enlongated and warped until it was the same as that of the four Anubites standing beside him.
All five of the strange creatures had rippling muscles, graceful figures, and an aura of majesty about them.
The citizens stared in shock, but some knealt on the ground and bowed their heads low.
"Horus, my friendliest of friends, you wouldn't mind if I wiped out a few civilizations of yours, would you?" called Anubis.
The Anubites attacked the priests around them, turning them into strange deformations somewhat like themselves.
The Anubites ravaged through the citizens, building their new army of half-dead. Within an hour, the city was no more than a doghouse.
Only a few escaped the attack, and one who did was the young priest who had turned away from the ritual...
"Okay then Anubis, you have chosen. Have your fun. But be warned, I will also choose one, and he will help me spoil your fun..."
The young priest had been chosen.
The Quest would soon start, and all who were swept into it would either live to help, or die to rot.[/i][/color]

There's the Intro that will be on the first post of the RPG once it starts.

Here's my Sign Up:

Name: Sobek

Age: 17

Sex: Male

Appearance: 5'7", scruffy brown hair, tanned, bright blue eyes, wears a [color=sienna]sienna[/color] colored robe with a hood, has a thin rope for a belt. Wears dark brown leather sandals.

Personality: Sobek is kind of outgoing, but not "in-your-face". He makes friends easily, but never really develops a friendship once it's established. He's generally sarcastic, but can still sometimes see the good in certain situations.

Bio: Sobek was named after a Crocodile-god, as he was born in one of the river towns along the Nile.
He was born into a relatively rich family, and was sent to become a priest when he was only 10 years old, so he could learn to read and write.
By the age of 13, he had begun to learn how to wield the scythe, and by the age of 16, had begun to participate in Rituals.
What he and his family didn't know, was that most of the Rituals favored Anubis, god of death and lord to the Underworld.

Weapon: Scythe, Bo-staff.

Side: Horus
