[Irako of the Desert]

xxxxxxx【Irako of the Desert】

Name: Anput "Lady Night" Neaht
Race: Reincarnation of the goddess Anput, wife of Anubis
Age: 35
Gender: female
Height: 5'6"
Weight:152 lbs.

Divinity/Powers (if any):Mastery of magic, the loyalty of my husband, Anubis, and the ability to see in the dark even during a new moon.

Previous Existence: I don't know who either of my real parents are. According to the orphanage I used to live at, I was fished out of the Thames in the middle of the night on a new moon, in a basket. The orphanage nurses that had heard my screams were surprised that anything had survived in that cesspool of a river. One of them called me Anput as a joke. She's supposed to the "Lady of Magic" and the nurse claimed that only by magic could I have survived. That, and I have an ankh-shaped birthmark on my back. I lived in the orphanage and grew up spoiled by the bigger children. Something about me makes people want to do that, I guess.

At age four, I was adopted by a middle-class family from Colchester. My parents worked hard, my mother as a secretary for the chairman of the local public transport system, and my dad as a freelance computer technician. They did their best to raise me well, sending me to Holmwood House School, a private academy. I attended school there up to the eighth grade, and live a normal, ordinary, boring life.

After the eighth grade, I attended Colchester High School. In my freshman year, I met a girl who was really into Egyptology. She got me interested in anything having to do with Ancient Egypt, especially the gods. I loved the tales about Anubis and his wife, Anput, with whom I share a name.The girl and I became good friends, and I was happy. She nicknamed me "Lady Night" because, as it turns out, the goddess Anput is known as Queen of the Starry Heavens, among other things. I could also see quite well in the dark, especially during the new moon. Everything was normal, and boring had been taken care of with my new interest in Ancient Egypt.

Then came the transfer. My dad got a permanent job as a manager of computer techs like him at some big company. We had to move away from Colchester and I had to leave everything I knew behind. I ended up attending Osiris Academy, a special school for Egyptian god and goddess reincarnations, discovered I was the reincarnation of the goddess Anput, and graduated with full honors plus total control over my powers, despite my persecution by the student council.

I've established Divinus Ludus now to train others like me and provide a place for those who can't completely fit in to the real world.

Et Cetera: It's hard sometimes to keep the students under control. The beings of light often come into conflict with the beings of the dark (like me) and things can get... Messy, to say the least. Still, I aim to preserve the balance between them, and so far, the rest of the world still thinks this school is a rather pretentious, elite school for those with too much money to spare. I guess that means I've been successful so far...
