MEET THE MUSE

RULES:   Don’t reblog, repost. Try to answer IC. TAGGED:   -- TAGGING: You know full well the answer is “YOU”. Get to it. 

► NAME ➭   “Technically, it is pronounced ‘Ahkmen’.  My subjects are not aware of this, unfortunately. If you’d like, you may call me Ahmenrah.” the intent is not to confuse, but he’s pleased with the happy accident.  ► ARE YOU SINGLE? ➭   “I am not. I have a king. Jerry. Now,” there’s the start of a smile, and in a jingle of beads, he leans towards his guest. His fingers ray outwards by way of exaggerative wave. A glance is thrown both left and right. “He is a god of this world, and he’s really cool.” that’s right.  ► ARE YOU HAPPY? ➭   “Right now? I am the happiest that I could be.” ► ARE YOU ANGRY? ➭    “I don’t see why I should be angry at all.” ► ARE YOUR PARENTS STILL MARRIED? ➭   “Father had several wives, but he loves my mother the most.”

⚡️ NINE FACTS!

► ‘BIRTH’ PLACE ➭   “Egypt.” ► HAIR COLOR ➭   “I know you cannot often see my hair, but it’s dark brown.” ► EYE COLOR ➭  “My eyes are green. Father always said they reminded me of my mother’s.” ► BIRTHDAY ➭   “Now, I believe it’s not recorded properly. I was born in September.” ► MOOD ➭   “If I had my stomach, I’d tell you I was hungry.” This may not receive a smile, but it will not deter him. “Egyptian humor. You see, when you are preserved---- ” the details are graphic.   ► GENDER ➭   “Male.” ► SUMMER OR WINTER ➭   “You must go outside to see the snow.” he means to say ‘winter’, but let’s not complicate things more...  ► MORNING OR AFTERNOON ➭   “Evening. I haven’t had the chance to see the sunrise in a very.... very long time.”

⚡️ EIGHT THINGS ABOUT YOUR LOVE LIFE!

► ARE YOU IN LOVE? ➭ "I’m really in love.”  ► DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT? ➭ “Well, no. I died long before I could meet the one I was initially destined to rule with.” ► WHO ENDED YOUR LAST RELATIONSHIP? ➭  “Kahmunrah.” A lasting smile almost fades. The thought irritates him. ► HAVE YOU EVER BROKEN SOMEONE’S HEART? ➭  “Not that I’m aware of.” ► ARE YOU AFRAID OF COMMITMENTS? ➭   “No, I could make several.” ► HAVE YOU HUGGED SOMEONE WITHIN THE LAST WEEK? ➭   “I was hugged today!” ► HAVE YOU EVER HAD A SECRET ADMIRER? ➭  “I would hope so.” he’s casting a glance around ► HAVE YOU EVER BROKEN YOUR OWN HEART? ➭  “I’m not sure how that would be possible....”

⚡️ FAMILY!

► DO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GET ALONG ➭  “For the most part, I’d otherwise have them buried alive with a thousand scorpions.” He hesitates, watching the listener closely with a partial smile. He’s too close to laughing, it’s evidently more Egyptian humor.  ► WOULD YOU SAY YOU HAVE A “MESSED UP LIFE” ➭   “Well, no. Not anymore. I was brutally murdered.

Ahkmenrah, misc headcanons

Sweets

Ahkmenrah dearly favors “edible shapes” (Sour Patch Kids). He will thoroughly search packages, many at a time to achieve the preferred flavors. With the blue reaching adoration, the pharaoh will often seek figures he is closest with to share these blue shapes. It is a feast and it must be bestowed upon those most important to him.

Pet Names 'Ahkie' / 'Ahky' it's a new addition to a gradual list, and it's met with (often) polite curiosity.

Weakness • Sunlight- if Ahkmenrah is faced with natural sunlight, his body will irreversibly mummify. corrosion of the tablet. (canon) • Corrosion - If the tablet is starved of moonlight, Ahkmenrah will begin to decompose. (canon) • Absence of the tablet - Without the tablet, there is no magic, and Ahkmenrah will remain a mummy. As he is one of very few with the ability to operate it, the tablet will be useless without him. (canon)

Real Age The pharaoh openly admits that lost track, but assumes he's far older than four thousand years old. It's recorded he died between the ages of eighteen and twenty.

Birthday c. 1341 BC or 1332 BC [recorded, interpreted, and ineptly recollected– September 14th]

Personality For a pharaoh locked away and confined to a sarcophagus for over fifty years, he is remarkably forgiving. He was known as a tactful pharaoh, loved dearly by his people. He treats his kingdom of the "new world" with similar openness and vigilance. There are nearly four thousand years to catch up on, and because of this, he treats his experiences with bright, infectious enthusiasm.

Blood Type Unknown. It's suggested that one not ask him this. He'll likely want to know everyone's blood type and not everyone within his kingdom (the museum) has blood to offer.

Preferred Hand Though he's been observed carrying his tablet with his left arm, he is right handed.

Energy Adventure awaits the exhibits within the confines of the museum. There is much to do, and there is every reason to enjoy it to the fullest extent. Because of this, he thrives on higher energy

Memory With a life almost eternal, there is always a need to learn and relearn. His memory is quite profound.

Stress

Although prone to keeping all plights to himself, there are circumstances nearly demanding his stress.

When excessively stressed, Ahkmenrah will stop everything prompting his focus at once and pace back and forth, muttering to himself in rapid-fire Coptic. A hand raises often to the chin, and in his pacing, he is ever expressive. With a voice soft, he loses himself in thought- often wandering a purposeless trail to seek his solution.

Gaze downcast, the brows furrow and akin to a child, he appears to even pout should he believe himself from onlookers.

Pronunciation

With an ambition to learn, Ahkmenrah has amassed a strong vocabulary of many languages. From Spanish, Hunnic, to English, he can pick up on the phonetics to roughly translate.

The English language, however, was most complex to him. It is because of this, that there are certain words he can never pronounce properly.

There is a marked effort in pronunciation, a moment of such focus. Brows crease, and he will often disassociate himself from discussion. Fierce determination shapes his features and upon the RIGHT articulation, conventional or poor, a look of true pride reaches him.

Holidays

Education is vastly important to Ahkmenrah. The modern world is both daunting and exciting. All holidays, no matter how insignificant to men of today, are monuments to him. To ensure comparable excitement, he will often attempt to follow each and every custom, excitedly encouraging his company alongside to experience these wonders. The joy can be infectious. The ineptitude alone can be endearing. Excitement upon completion of a simple task, (building gingerbread houses being one of them) or miscomprehension, he strives to ensure each festivity be met with cooperation most memorable.

Flashcards.

After openly admitting that he's not exactly able to read, Rebecca bestows him a gift of flashcards. He's made quite the hobby of reading modern scripts of two to three lettered words on a flashcard (his most read term being “CAR”!) These flashcards vary, and depending on the difficulty (a lack of picture, really- the pictures often trying to prompt him to guess- if they're much too modern) he will react openly with chagrin. Certain cards are favored among others. He's prone to reading them aloud within the company of others to rouse their wonder. He carries a well worn deck, and he will regularly exercise his capacity to learn and identify small terms. Cards without pictures are considered 'deceptive'.

Thunderstorms.

Storms were infrequent in his kingdom.  Despite his age, four-thousand-year-old memories still return to him…. Rainless lands were graced with a storm, one wild with a promise of the unknown. He could recall words of mudbrick homes gradually washed away by the river, pyramids damaged. Torrential winds snuffed out the torches.

Although uncertain in that night, Ahkmenrah treasures the memory now.

There's a recollection of his guard's serene words, a watchful eye aimed towards the pharaoh as he witnessed a war among the stars with a set jaw and a rapid heart. 

When a storm sweeps beyond museum walls, exhibits react as their historical counterparts. It's often the one night in Ahkmenrah's kingdom that is never quiet. The Primordial men react in resounding, distant cheers. Animals skitter by, leaving behind scrapes against polished flooring. The miniatures are often gone- perhaps a long excursion to behold the spectacle.

Ahkmenrah recovers his distant memory in its blurry haze, waking it under the spray of rain.

He watches through a window or by the door with that same uncertain storm.

It is his Anubis statue who returns to him and who guides him away from harm. During a thunderstorm, Ahkmenrah will always be found waiting alongside his watchful guard, reliving a memory with the statue at his side. 

Preferred Lettering.

Although the young pharaoh still avidly learns, he is greatly fond of literature, often skimming its compositions for illustrations. Should someone pass him by, the eyes of the pharaoh, each term he reads begins with the letter ‘M’ (Hence the name decided for the mun.)

It matters not what text adorns literature, it is graced of a quiet and ineptly articulated “Mm—” something sharp in his tone. It’s made unknown if Ahkmenrah is aware of the compulsion.

That moment in Lara Fabian's Adagio music video where the museum statues and paintings came to life

[erodedauthenticity]

Over the mellow cry of a sunbird, a pharaoh navigates through his bustling subjects, hesitating at the sight of a skeletal tail trailing beyond the breadth of a long hallway. It swings left towards a similarly skittish gazelle, stirring a commotion among its kind.

"Rexy," Ahkmenrah's voice cuts swiftly, bemusedly following the eruption of sound with a furrowed brow. "I suggest you run with more caution." He plays shadow to its retreat, calling out after the reanimated beast. "You cannot act like you're the only one here!"

There's hardly a plan to go after it.

He instead readjusts his focus to the sheets in hand and a papery carton.

The route back to the Hall of Ancient Egypt seemed shorter: enough for Ahkmenrah to greet his reflection between canopic jars on display.

"Anubis?" his voice softens, and his reflection follows with glance to the side.

"Larry provided me with something."

Into his own chambers, the pharaoh beholds his guard with a wide smile. "We've been presented with unfinished works of art." Four sheets of recycled paper flutter in his descent. The box splits open with force. The wrong end. He shows him six colored markers and promptly turns his focus to his task.

"He suggested that we can occupy our night here instead of exploring the outside." He doesn't take the time to linger on thoughts as to why. "He said it's important." Grasping hold of the blue marker, he applies the capped marker onto the paper, and begins to scrape once overtop of an animated drawing attempting to retreat from.

"Stop that…" he utters to it. "Why isn't it working?"

[keepmovinjunior]

" So, like . . . what's new ? "

[erodedauthenticity]

"I'm glad you asked.. there's something new in our hall called the vending machine." his jaw rests, and with a flourish, he reaches in point towards a distant hall.

"Incidentally, it's full of trapped miniatures from the Wild West Diorama. Perhaps you could help."

🥠🥠🥠 - Parvati

Fortune cookies with Ahkmenrah.

     The loose slip of paper folds along a lax index finger. A smooth glance drifts to a string of unidentifiable text. Improvisation is poorly equipped to address the circumstances he is graced with.

“It has a lot of numbers, and, unfortunately for you, that can only mean one thing.” a natural smile begins to turn, tenderly souring. 

      “You’re cursed”

IMPORTANT  HEADCANONS  TO  CONSIDER  !

can  they  use  chopsticks     /    Not even in the slightest. Ahkmenrah brandishes chopsticks with a closed fist, much to the chagrin (or bewilderment) of fellow exhibits. The pharaoh is not often corrected in the usage of foreign materials and utensils. Leniency yields for the exhibits willing to try. Over time, he will adapt to new utensils, as he does with foreign languages and cultures.

what  do  they  do  when  they  can’t  sleep     /    Sleep is unnecessary for exhibits found in the museum, for that, it's easiest to describe what it's like when exhibits do sleep. While uncommon for Ahkmenrah to experience fatigue, he is still human. If it is imperative that he ‘rest’ prior to sunrise, he will opt to rest at the furthest corner of his exhibit closely guarded by Anubis.

what  would  they  impulse  buy  at  the  grocery  store     /    With quarters in hand, Ahkmenrah redefines the nature of an impulse buy. He is inherently drawn to what is blue or silver in color. Vibrancy attracts, and his fixation to modern ‘relics’ rivals that of a child. When outside, there is always something to be experienced for the first time. 

what  order  do  they  wash  things  in  the  shower     /    Ahkmenrah is not at all familiar with showers. In life, the pharaoh was far more accustomed to wash basins.   Ahkmenrah’s life ends each sunrise and he is restored each sunset. Showers are no longer a necessity for the exhibits. If there is a need to clean himself after spending hours outside of his ‘kingdom’, Ahkmenrah will fetch a damp trifold towel and wipe himself down. 

what’s  their  coffee  order     /  There is no greater joy in asking for ‘everything’! He can’t afford it. All the same, coffee isn’t particularly enjoyed, but he will drink it- depending on how enthusiastic someone is when showing him the beverage

what  sort  of  apps  would  they  have  on  their  smartphone     /    Following a lesson of how to operate the modern device, Ahkmenrah has downloaded every app available. He doesn’t know how to operate any of them, but they are aesthetically pleasing.

how  do  they  act  around  children     /   it was never asked of him to tend to children, and his disposition is unchanging when in the company of adults or children. He treats them as he would any subject of his kingdom. (this can be a good or bad thing, depending on the subjects in question.) He’s prone to discussing complicated terms or reflecting on something morbid.  

what  would  they  watch  on  tv  when  they’re  bored  and  nothing  they  really  like  is  on      /   Kardashians. There is only the Kardashians.  In truth, he is prone to watching anything, everything is entertaining to someone newly acquainted to the television.
