In legends it was her that brought about the plague and it was invoking her name that protected those from catching ill. Though in her current state she cannot bring about the plague, Sekhmet has returned to her roots of healing. With a gentle touch, Sekhmet can heal broken bones, wounds and diseases of the body. However, she requires constant focus and maintain touch, and with greater damage she requires more time to heal.[/color][/sup][/quote][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent] [center] [sup][h1] [color=#5A7B7B]𝐈 𝐍 𝐍 𝐄 𝐑 𓄂 𝐒 𝐄 𝐋 𝐅[/color] [color=#C8C2AE][sub][sub][sup]Quiet now, you're gonna wake the beast[/sup][/sub][/sub][/color] [/h1][/sup] [/center][table][row] [sup][h3][b] [color=2e2c2c]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅ [right]▅▅▅▅▅▅[/right][/color] [/b][/h3][/sup] [/row][row][cell][color=2e2c2c]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/color] [center][sup][h3][color=#5A7B7B]████████████████[/color] [color=#2c363b]𝐕 𝐢 𝐫 𝐭 𝐮 𝐞 𝐬  [/color] [color=#C8C2AE]𝐕 𝐢 𝐫 𝐭 𝐮 𝐞 𝐬[/color][/h3][/sup] [color=#C8C2AE][color=#5A7B7B]⌜[/color] Courageous [color=#5A7B7B]&[/color] Protective Passionate [color=#5A7B7B]&[/color] Decisive Vivacious [color=#5A7B7B]&[/color] Loyal[color=#5A7B7B] ⌟[/color][/color] [/center][/cell][cell][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/sOu74ZW.png[/img][/center][color=2e2c2c]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅ [/color][/cell][cell][color=2e2c2c]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/color] [center][sup][h3][color=#5A7B7B]███████████████[/color] [color=#2c363b]𝐕 𝐢 𝐜 𝐞 𝐬  [/color] [color=#C8C2AE]𝐕 𝐢 𝐜 𝐞 𝐬[/color][/h3][/sup] [center][color=#C8C2AE][color=#5A7B7B]⌜[/color] Vindictive [color=#5A7B7B]&[/color] Impatient Cantankerous [color=#5A7B7B]&[/color] Fiery Opinionated [color=#5A7B7B]&[/color] Guarded [color=#5A7B7B]⌟[/color][/color][/center] [/center][/cell][/row][/table] [table][row] [sup][h3][b] [color=2e2c2c]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅ [right]▅▅▅▅▅▅[/right][/color] [/b][/h3][/sup] [/row][row][cell][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/sJ2oXhs.png[/img][/center][/cell][cell][center][sup][h3][color=#5A7B7B]████████████████████████[/color] [color=#2c363b]т н є м σ я т α ℓ  [/color] [color=#C8C2AE]т н є м σ я т α ℓ[/color][/h3][/sup] [color=#C8C2AE][color=#5A7B7B]⌜ 𝐀 𝐋 𝐈 𝐀 𝐒 ⌟[/color] [sub]Nadia Ayad[/sub] [color=#5A7B7B]⌜ 𝐑 𝐄 𝐂 𝐎 𝐑 𝐃 𝐄 𝐃 𝐀 𝐆 𝐄 ⌟[/color] [sub]Mid Twenties[/sub] [color=#5A7B7B]⌜ 𝐒 𝐄 𝐗 𝐔 𝐀 𝐋 𝐈 𝐓 𝐘 & 𝐆 𝐄 𝐍 𝐃 𝐄 𝐑 ⌟[/color] [sub]Pansexual, cis-female, she/her [/sub] [color=#5A7B7B]⌜ 𝐎 𝐂 𝐂 𝐔 𝐏 𝐀 𝐓 𝐈 𝐎 𝐍 ⌟[/color] [sub]Physician in the emergency trauma unit of the UW Medical Center Head of [i]Melinor Care[/i], a charity that aims to provide medical care for people in impoverished countries.[/sub] [/color][/center][/cell][cell][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/e2020Sm.png[/img][/center][/cell][/row][/table] [center] [sup][h1] [color=#5A7B7B]𝐋 𝐈 𝐅 𝐄 𓄂 𝐒 𝐓 𝐎 𝐑 𝐘[/color] [color=#C8C2AE][sub][sub][sup]Hide your soul out of his reach[/sup][/sub][/sub][/color] [/h1][/sup] [/center][table][row] [sup][h3][b] [color=2e2c2c]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅ [right]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/right][/color] [/b][/h3][/sup] [/row][row][cell][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/0LaPD1A.png[/img][/center][color=2e2c2c]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅ [right]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/right] [/color][/cell][cell][color=2e2c2c]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/color] [center][sup][h3][color=#5A7B7B]██████████████████████[/color] [color=#2c363b]𝐌 𝐲 𝐭 𝐡 𝐨 𝐥 𝐨 𝐠 𝐲  [/color] [color=#C8C2AE]𝐌 𝐲 𝐭 𝐡 𝐨 𝐥 𝐨 𝐠 𝐲[/color][/h3][/sup] [color=#C8C2AE][color=#5A7B7B]⌜[/color] 𝕯 𝖎 𝖛 𝖎 𝖓 𝖊 𝕷 𝖎 𝖋 𝖊 [color=#5A7B7B]⌟[/color][/color] [hider=𓄂][indent][color=#C8C2AE][sup]Sekhmet is one of the many goddesses given the title of "Eye of Ra", the female counterpart to the sun god Ra. Sekhmet herself is considered to be Ra's daughter, born from Ra's anger at mankind for not preserving [abbr=Justice]Ma'at[/abbr] and failing to respect Ra. Sekhmet was born after Ra pulled out his eye, taking the form of a ferocious lion goddess filled with rage towards humanity for the disrespect they showed Ra. When Ra unleashed the goddess Sekhmet on humanity, bloodshed ensued. Her blood-lust knew no bounds, charging into battle and leaving fields running with human blood. When Ra realised the carnage Sekhmet was causing, Ra implored his daughter to stop the bloodshed. The vengeful goddess would not listen, instead far too deep in her blood lust to see reason. Instead, Ra poured a concoction of beer dyed red in her path, allowing the goddess to gorge herself till she became too drunk to continue in her warpath. When she awoke three days later, the blood lust dissipated and the goddess was mellowed thanks to Ra pulling some of her godly essence from her. Sekhmet as a result became tamer, but still unpredictable. During festivals to honour Sekhmet, the people would offer alcohol as a way to keep the goddess from going on another rampage. Some versions of her tale have Sekhmet awake to the sight of Ptah, falling in love at first sight and creating [abbr=God of Perfume & Aromatherapy]Nefertum[/abbr] as a symbol of healing, re-establishing Ma'at in the process. Sekhmet was said to breathe fire and be the manifestation of the plague, but evoking her name was said to also ward off diseases and protect one from pestilence. She is also said to be the sister or twin of Bast, the softer counterpart and the divine protector of families and the home, together symbolising the duality central to Egyptian mythology.

Despite the last time ending in bloodshed, this time Sekhmet held her sanity. She was not enraged, she couldn't let herself be. Last time there was Ra to quell the rage, using trickery that only the great god could come up with and pulling some of her rage with him. Though she still carried rage in her, it was mellowed enough for her to hold back. She could be better, she realised. And so Sekhmet chose to [i]be[/i] better. She decided to lean towards her secondary domain some more, shirking off her past as the bloody warrior goddess, choosing to be a humble servant of medicine. Without the status that being a goddess allowed her, however, she found herself having to relearn her domain. She took to traveling, seeking out different cultures and learning their ways of healing. From the ancient arts of Ayurvedic medicine from India to studying with the bright minds of European doctors in the Enlightenment period. Where there was knowledge, there was Sekhmet. What was knowledge without application? As humanity advanced, so did medicine. With improvement of science and culture, Sekhmet started to follow the likes of Elizabeth Blackwell and Mary Edwards Walker and took to practicing medicine. When war came knocking, she enlisted into the army as a practicing nurse to tend to the ill and injured. During the First World War, she had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting Ares, the Greek god of war. She tended to his soldier, pulling out the poison lingering in his blood but failed to ignore Ares talking in her ear. First it started with playful banter, suggesting she too was like him. She could hear the cry for war, witness the greed of humanity for herself. She could feel her rage come back, seeing the injustice and disrespect mankind was capable of. She could feel herself turn back to Ra's daughter - the warrior goddess with a thirst for blood; and Ares preyed on that until it was too late. When Sekhmet awoke next time, it was to the cries of the war being over. She found out that she had fallen blind to her rage, allowing herself to be consumed by the thirst for blood. She was ruthless and destructive, charging into battle to attack with the intent to kill. In the final hours of her rampage, Sekhmet had charged into an Axis base, destroying and releasing mustard gas into the air. Sekhmet took most of it, concentrations that would be fatal to humans sending Sekhmet into a delirious sleep where she finally awoke days later. Horrified, Sekhmet retreated from humanity. She refused the call for support in the second world war, instead sinking deeper into her sanctuary and only emerging to take a sip of Ambrosia to keep herself alive. She only emerged back into society in the mid sixties, to establish her charity during the Vietnam war. She sent doctors and treatment to Vietnam with the clear instruction to save [i]everybody.[/i] A tall order, perhaps, but everybody deserved medical attention in war. The success of Melinor Care allowed Sekhmet some comfort, returning into society years after the close of the Vietnam war to join the trauma ward of UW medical center, taking on the name of Nadia as her cover.

She knows she is brutal and ruthless, causing the near extinction of humanity at one point.

Sekhmet fears she will be used again for the purpose of destruction. She fears that she will be tempted again; and this time she will bring about the end of humanity as she was born to do so.[/sub][/color][/indent][/hider][/center] [/cell][/row][/table][/hider]
