as for worshiping egyptian gods.... which one did you have in mind?
Well... assuming Mans goes with the character we discussed, I actually had this idea for a backstory for both of us:
He would be a pharaoh who was entombed so that he'd eventually become a deity (mummification in this case I'm imagining is kind of like a caterpillar going into a cocoon and emerging as a butterfly). However, due to all the craziness going on, he's been awakened early and is pissed off that his "sleep" has been interrupted (someone destroyed his tomb). He'll effectively be an immortal (Tome
Revenant), but not a god yet. So I'll basically worship
him, but be a divine servant sent back by the rest of the pantheon to make sure he gets to go back to sleep and continue his ascension. (My character is an outsider with a jackal-head, and even the fluff for his race says they were specifically created as servants of a more powerful "master race".)
Since gold doesn't actually mean anything, it won't matter that he was buried with all kinds of bling and is technically filthy rich, as he won't be able to buy anything with it anyway. Likewise, probably no one (in Greece) will give a crap that he's the walking corpse of a long-dead ruler of a distant country (except maybe for the walking corpse bit...).
The ancient Egyptians were more of a pantheon with everyone worshipping them all I think, but if you want me to pick a specific deity that I was sent by, I guess it would be Anubis, since he was the lord of the dead and also has a jackal head himself.
