Astrology

(Yes, we’re just unapologetically mapping modern Western astrology onto ancient Egypt.)

  • Sun: Taurus – grounded, sensual, stubborn, devoted to his duties and his chosen people.

  • Probable Moon: Scorpio – intense, vengeful when wronged, loves with terrifying depth.

  • Probable Rising: Libra – elegant, diplomatic, eerily composed even when furious.

Blood

  • Human blood type (before): AIn Japanese blood-type lore, Type A people are responsible, detail-oriented, and serious. Most Type A folks end up as managers, not mummified high priests cursed for millennia, but here we are.

  • Undead blood type (after): Type N- (Nilotic Necrotic)
    His “blood” now carries a mixture of embalming resins, ancient magic, and just enough life-force to keep his body animated. It doesn’t behave like normal human blood—more like a magically conductive river flowing beneath his skin.

Personality Snapshot

  • Regal as hell. Moves like he still expects courtiers to bow.

  • Deeply romantic and deeply dangerous when someone he loves is threatened.

  • Struggles with waking up in a world that looted his past and put it under glass.

  • Quietly fascinated by modern music, language, and the idea of second chances.

  • Turn-ons: Respect, ritual, people who listen more than they speak, slow touches, genuine devotion.

  • Turn-offs: Grave robbers (literal or metaphorical), cultural appropriation, anyone who jokes about unwrapping him on the first date.

  • Ideal first date: Midnight visit to a museum wing that suddenly feels too alive, whispered stories in the dark, and a promise you’ll walk back out together.
