Welcome to Gaia! ::

The gods once walked the earth, living their lives as life ought to be lived: in a balance between peace and conflict, love and hate, chaos and order. Many a time did the gods come into conflict with each other, but only once has a god died. Seth (Set), the storm god, God of Chaos, was jealous of his brother Osiris, and so killed him. Twice. Once Osiris returned from the dead, and Seth killed him again, tearing him apart and scattering the pieces of his body across the land. Isis, Osiris's wife, gathered up her husband's pieces and sewed them together so that he might be given a proper burial. Osiris was buried and given a new sort of life as the Lord of the Otherworld.

Now, millennia later, Osiris has disappeared, and a series of strange deaths have begun happening, scattered through places quite unrelated to each other. The locations of these deaths are unrelated, but nearly everything else about them has been identical. And all the victims match Osiris's description almost perfectly.

(The gods in the first post are not the only ones who can be played. They are just the main ones in the story. You are allowed to take a different Egyptian god if you wish. Just discuss it with me first, please.)

For those of you wishing to play human roles involved in the search for Osiris, here is a list of who each of the main gods are likely to enlist to help them. Also, none of the human characters know they are being watched by their patron god or goddess until that god/goddess contacts them.


Ra:
Detectives, police, other do-gooders

Anubis:
Mercenaries, assassins, judges

Isis:
Mothers who have lost children, widows, maidens, artisans/artists, aristocrats

Horus:
Military, hunters

Set:
Insane people, the killer

It had happened again. Seated on the golden throne in her celestial palace, Isis listened as Anubis reported to her the latest in a series of murders. The goddess sighed and waved the funerary god away, not trying to appear rude but achieving it nonetheless. Anubis nodded respectfully and left the audience chamber. Isis heaved another sigh and conjured up an image of Osiris, her missing husband, in his human form. Osiris had disappeared five months ago by godly standards; a little over twenty-five years by human standards. The first of the murders had happened on an Autumn evening. On a night the mortals called Halloween. A night where children and adults alike would go about in costume, putting on the pretense of being something they were not. The young man’s remains had been found in a haunted house and at first presumed part of the festivities. That is, until someone recognized the corpse’s face. Since that night, there had been many more murders, and always the victim was torn apart. Reduced to the smallest components of himself. The head was the only part ever left intact. And every victim was nearly identical to Osiris. With some effort, Isis wrenched herself from such grim and gruesome recollections and left her golden throne to walk about in the gardens. She wished these endless murders would end and her brother-husband would return, but neither seemed likely to happen any time soon. Isis was beginning to despair of ever seeing Osiris again alive.
