I'm intentional with all my OCs' colors, but for #DEITIESProject in particular, I'm also referencing the meanings of each color in AE religion and artwork.
Set's main color is red for that reason (power, strength, anger, chaos, the desert), & I give the same consideration for the rest of the cast.
Q: "Your original character is now a Pokemon Trainer! Who is their pokemon partner? Do they get along?"

Annnnnnd one more site update to end the month, this time for #DEITIESProject!
I mentioned wanting to preserve my +Likes music thread with Set, so here we are! Featuring some additional sample lyrics under each entry that stand out for his character \o/ deitiesofduat.com/2026/01/31/u...
"A gentle funerary and river goddess, Nephthys strives to lend her aid to those in need. Her compassion and empathy can result in placing others before herself, and due to past events, she struggles to balance her divine loyalties with her heartfelt desire to make things right." [ #DEITIESProject ]
Artwork of Nephthys in her full regalia and headdress, as her character appears in Deities of Duat / DEITIES Project. The reference reads as follows: Lady Nephthys -- The Goddess of Mourning, Nighttime, Rivers, and Service. Notable Epithets: "Lady of the Sacred House; Mistress of Jubilation; The Beautiful Maiden; She Who Protects with Her Own Soul." The remaining alt text describes Nephthys's visual design, which is mirrored in her website profile in the thread: Physically appears as an adult in her mid-thirties; Orange eyes; Burnt sienna / brunette hair, grown past shoulder-length and gathered in two short bundles; Wears a circlet-crown with a house-symbol ornament and red ribbons in the back; Favors red, orange, black, and gold regalia.
The "last but not least" sixth of the reintroductions, the gentle-natured Goddess of Service. The role Nephthys plays in DEITIES Project is understated -- in direct contrast with her chaotic husband -- but deeply vital to the story.

"A powerful goddess, highly-skilled with various forms of magic. Isis’s noble and serious demeanor reflects her deep devotion to her family and their royal legacy; following past trials to reclaim the throne, she seldom hesitates to address any threats to their renewed peace." [ #DEITIESProject ]
Artwork of Isis in her full regalia and headdress, as her character appears in Deities of Duat / DEITIES Project. The reference reads as follows: Queen of Duat, Lady Isis -- The Goddess of Magic, Health, Marriage, and Motherhood. Notable Epithets: "Great Lady of Magic; Lady of the Throne; Divine Mother of the King; She Who Creates Breath with Her Wings." The remaining alt text describes Isis's visual design, which is mirrored in her website profile in the thread: Physically appears as an adult in her mid-thirties; Blue eyes; Long, dark blue hair, straight and grown to calf-length; Wears a circlet-crown with a winged-disc ornament and a Uraeus motif; Favors blue, white, and gold regalia.
Fifth of the reintroductions, the queen and mother of the crown prince. Safe to say Isis was Set's original opposition (and vice versa) -- both in her effort to avenge her husband's murder, and the culmination of divine sibling rivalry.

Artwork of Osiris in his full regalia and headdress, as his character appears in Deities of Duat / DEITIES Project. The reference reads as follows: King of Duat, Lord Osiris -- The God of the Dead, the Afterlife, and Resurrection. Notable Epithets: "Ruler of Eternity; Lord of Silence; One Who Presides on His Throne; Sovereign of the Underworld." The remaining alt text describes Osiris's visual design, which is mirrored in his website profile in the thread: Physically appears as an adult in his mid-thirties; Dark green eyes; Black, shaved hair; Unusually pure black skin, following his resurrection (naturally dark skin in his previous mortal form); Wears an Atef crown with a Uraeus motif, and a black false beard; Favors dark green, white, and gold regalia.
Fourth of the reintroductions, the undead king of the Egyptian underworld. I don't feature Osiris nearly as often as I'd like, but he does play a key part of the major cast. Also has the least amount of skin showing in the cast, too--

"Despite his youth and reserved nature, Anubis is a well-respected funerary god who excels at performing his divine role. He rarely dwells on mixed feelings regarding the legacy of his family, and prefers to focus on his responsibilities and supporting those whom he holds dear." [ #DEITIESProject ]
Artwork of Anubis in his full regalia and headdress, as his character appears in Deities of Duat / DEITIES Project. The reference reads as follows: Lord Anubis -- The God of Mummification and Funerals, and Guardian of the Dead. Notable Epithets: "The Master of Embalming; Guardian of the Scales; The Counter of Hearts; Keeper of the Underworld." The remaining alt text describes Anubis's visual design, which is mirrored in his website profile in the thread: Physically appears as a young adult in his early to mid-twenties; Orange eyes; Black, shoulder-length hair; Wears headdress with a jackal motif; Favors black, orange, and gold regalia.
Third from the reintroductions, the recognizable but reserved jackal god. Anubis is the deity I probably relate to most out of the cast, so I have a special soft spot for his character. That said, it can't be easy being the son of Set.

"While destined to become king in the aftermath of reclaiming his family’s throne, the sky god Horus remains young in both experience and heart. Aside from training in his role as the heir, the falcon prince enjoys any chance of getting to know his divine peers and kingdom." [ #DEITIESProject ]
Artwork of Horus in his full regalia and headdress, as his character appears in Deities of Duat / DEITIES Project. The reference reads as follows: Prince of Duat, Lord Horus -- The God of the Sky, Midday sun, Protection, and Royalty. Notable Epithets: "Lord of the Horizon; The Son of Truth; He Who Brightens The Sky and Earth; Uniter of The Two Lands." The remaining alt text describes Horus's visual design, which is mirrored in his website profile in the thread: Physically appears as a young adult near 18-21 years; Naturally blue right eye, and grey left eye (blinded “Eye of Horus”); Long white hair, with darkened striped tips resembling bird plumage, waist-length; Wears headdress with a falcon motif; Favors blue, white, and gold regalia.
Next up for reintroductions is the designated royal heir and falcon prince! Without the context of his mortal-enemy-uncle antagonizing him, Horus probably looks more fierce than usual here, but he's usually quite good-tempered.

"Known for his mastery in combat and demon-slaying, Set’s reputation was damaged by his misdeeds against the pantheon — yet the notorious chaos god seems to revel in his infamy. Dismissing any past regrets, he displays his informal and crude attitude with friend and foe alike." [ #DEITIESProject ]
Artwork of Set in his full regalia and headdress, as his character appears in Deities of Duat / DEITIES Project. The reference reads as follows: Lord Set -- The God of Chaos, Deserts, Storms, Foreigners, and Violence. Notable Epithets: "Lord of the Desert; Ruler of the Red Lands; He of Great Strength; He Who Makes The Sky Tremble." The remaining alt text describes Set's physical design, which is mirrored in his website profile in the thread: Physically appears as an adult in his mid-thirties; Bright yellow eyes with slit pupils; Bright red hair, medium length in a layered “A-line” bobcut; Teeth with sharper dentition and pronounced fangs; Wears headdress with a Sha Animal motif; Favors red, gold, and black regalia.
New year, new [re]introductions to the divine royal family. Starting with the red-haired God of Chaos, I'll feature each of the deities separate from the group shot, along with their titles, domains, and some of their historical epithets.

Q: "Does your OC have a home of their own? How would you describe their living space?"
(I knew I was going to miss an older text-only lore post somewhere!!)

Artwork of the divine royal family of gods and goddesses from Ancient Egyptian mythology, as their characters appear in Deities of Duat / DEITIES Project. From left to right are Anubis, Nephthys, Set, Horus, Isis, and Osiris. They're all wearing their full regalia with headdresses/crowns, and are displayed in a "group shot" arrangement where their poses are interacting with each other -- in particular, Set antagonizing Horus, and their family observing in their respective ways.
With a few more hours to spare, the DEITIES Royal Family Redux is complete!
This is both a redraw of an older piece, and something to mark the 10-year anniversary of the project's launch on tumblr!

For the #DEITIESProject cast: The color of a deity's eyes reflect the color of their soul ("ka") and their magic ("heka").
Stronger spells will make their eyes glow more vividly, & their animal forms tend to have colored sclera, too. Chaos, on the other hand, displays a red glow + black sclera look

Horus and Hathor are inspired by many versions of the myths making them a divine pair. But they're also close friends and currently courting in story -- wp.me/par6CO-305

#DEITIESProject #Askbox || Not actually part of the "DEITIES Relationships" series but continued from the previous response, kinda.
Set takes most compensation jokes with stride, but this subject is no laughing matter to him if you read between the lines… wp.me/par6CO-303
