Bio: He was named Pharaoh when he was nine and his most trusted advisor, Ay helped rule the throne until he came of age. Tutankhamen restored the old religions and cult to the Egyptian people and built up great temples for the gods. When he was seventeen he began to build up a huge army for Egypt and began to prepare to conquer. An attempt on his life was made when he was Eighteen and it only convinced him of his plans to conquer land for Egypt. After his three year long campaign he came back to the capital city Memphis in a victory parade, the conquered countries brought their Kings and all the riches of their lands to Memphis.
Personality: He's somewhat cold until you get to know him then you see that it's all just defense, he never grew up with a mother or father, all his siblings wanted was his throne. He's got one of those stares that could give people nightmares. Although he is the Pharaoh and as such is very spoiled he keeps his feet on the ground. He also has a very deep soft spot for children although he tries not to show it.
Talents/Interests: Tutankhamen loves a good puzzle and is very skilled with riddles and math (for that time). He's very good with a bow and just keeps getting better and better, he's obviously god quite a few women in line for him to marry but he's been postponing that as much as possible. name: Femi
role: maid or servant to pharoah
age: 20
hieght: 5' 6
wieght: 174
appearance:
bio: Femi is indepent and beautiful, but one thing she doesn't have is self confidence. She sold herself to the pharoah to get some money and to free her father out of jail. She made her family proud, but now she has been forced a life of duty and no self rights. Femi does what she is told and wouldn't hesitate if the pharoah himself told her to kill herself. Femi wants nothing more than to please people and by wanting this she has no selfrespect.
At a young age femi went into the servant business although she used to be a dancer, around age 16. Since then she has discovered a hidden weakness in her, Tutankhamen

((damn straight you'll be in it w/ a profile like that! *still happy about it!!*))

Tutankhamen rode in the beautiful chariot smiling and waving as the victory parade wended its way through the enormous city Memphis, flower petals rained down as Tutankhamen passed by some two story buildings, he waved to the women above him and they all shouted his name. Those shouts started a chain reaction and all throughout the streets the happy egyptian citizens called out his name. Tutankhamen smiled (more genuinly this time) and looked around at Egypts glory, such a civilization had not ever been created before.
Tutankhamen finally rode to the palace steps where he came down from the chariot and told the servent at hand that his steeds were to be bathed in rose water and given the finest food available. The servent ran off and Tutankhamen strode up the steps of his private palace, looking around he remembered his child hood in this place and wondered has it truly been three years..? Walking farther in he nodded to the servents who were still bustling about as they bowed to him, as he walked he remembered all the faces that he'd missed, its been so long, is everything the way it was before..? not admitting to himself that there was a certain thing that he was looking forward too more than others..

Tutankhamen walked a few more steps before he realized there was another breath besides his own in the room and he turnned to see Femi behind him. fairly suprised that he had not noticed earlier i must be more tired then i thought.. Tutankhamen turnned and looked her up and down for a moment before saying "Its been a long time.." He felt the urge to embrace her or perhaps kiss her hand as he had seen done in many of the foreign kingdoms, but here it was not permitted. No one was allowed to touch him. "..Femi" He finished, as he gave her a small smile masking what he had just felt, knowing it would be wrong not to do so. He turnned and removed the heavy heavy gold gauntlets from his arms holding them out for Femi to take, in truth not knowing where they were supposed to go.

Tutankhamen laughed lightly and removed the long cape from his shoulders answering "The far away places have openned my eyes to the new ideas.." he trailed off and then continued with an ironc grin "There's still so much i have to learn, and can learn from them. With their knowlege and ours.. Egypt will be greater then it has ever been before.."

Tutankhamen removed the numerous jewals that hung at his neck and untied the sandels from his feet. "No, Although i'm sure i should want it, i am not hungry." He heard her complement and commited it to memory although he said nothing about it. "You may go if you wish, I'm sure the palace staff has had quite an exciting day as well." Tutankhamen took a few steps to the numerous cusions and feather filled pillows that lay layered across the floor and sat gently within them. Although he was impossibly tired his mind seemed unable to grant him sleep.

Tutankhamen caught her eye as she was about to walk out and said with a coy smile "Good night, Femi..." honesty was something he was keen on and not something he was about to violate for so trivial a reason. I did design and build this Palace, i know where the kitchens are aswell as everything else.

Tutankhamen was surpised to say the least, he'd totally forgotten about the pet name she'd given him. When she walked out he just about fell over in suprise, so used to being called 'lord pharaoh' or 'your eminence' even he given name was a rairety around the court and his servants, but Femi was something else. Tutankhamen sat up as soon as her foots steps had faded enough away, and threw the rest of the silk and linen clothes off, pulling on a rough off white linen robe and cape like wrap, he removed the gold earrings and cuffs along his ears and pulled the rings off tossing them on a cusion. Finally he took the crown carefully from his head wary of its vital importance and put it with the other prestigeous family heirlooms. He ran an hand over his shaved head and enjoyed how light his head felt without the pound of gold. With that he he took a quiver full of arrows and slung them over his shoulder gripping a bow in his non dominant hand. He slipped his feet into common sandles and walked to a far wall, checking to make sure the room was indeed empty he slid the furniture aside and lifted the fake stone from its palace in the wall. he smiled to himself as he easily slipped out of the palace undetected, he came out at a common street that he didn't even know the name of but went to go about normal buisness as if her weren't the pharaoh simply another citizen, smileing all the way.
