[ask-october-fox]

The first time we see this poor man in five years and he's getting the spook of his life POOR CARTER

He didnt deserve this. He didnt do anything to deserve this!

[prideful-khopesh]

I think it’s high time I answered this ask. It’s been sat in my inbox since pretty much the start of the Egypt war (June 26th, the day Husam and Zsuzsi found out what the Fukaynan contracts did). It has been my companion during this conflict, there to make me chuckle whenever I answer an ask, but now it is time for me to set it free. Goodbye heeheegypt, thank you for your service in providing levity during all the angst.

[desert-denizens]

Many people call the hot desert sands of Egypt their home, but here you can talk to four of them!

[Character Info and Boundaries below cut!]

Faiza

Cheetah Lady (she/her)

Lesbian married to Latifa

She is 34 and her birthday is October 6th

One of the Pharaoh's guards, she tends to take more of a scout/messenger role. Prefers using a bow or other ranged weaponry.

Has an adopted brother who is a farmer.

Covered head to toe in short fur. She has a handful of scars, but the fur and her clothes hide most of them. It's hard to see in her ref, but her hair is braided.

Latifa

Hippo Lady (she/her)

Lesbian married to Faiza

She is 33 and her birthday is June 12th

She's a midwife, but has nursing training too.

Surprisingly strong, and can be very fierce when protecting children or anyone in trouble.

She is naturally bald, but she enjoys wearing wigs in different styles and colors.

Nen

Nubian Goat Man (he/him)

Aroace

He's 48 and his birthday is November 28th

One of the Pharaoh's guards, he tends to have a tanky fighting style, using armor, shields, and heavy weapons like his mace-axe.

Heavily scarred, missing his right pinky and ring finger, left horn broken, and left ear torn. Is starting to get joint pain, but right now just takes some painkillers and continues on with his day.

Does leather working on the side. Started as a way to maintain his equipment. Other guards sometimes pay him to repair their armor/belts/scabbards/etc. He taught himself how to do more decorative forms of leather work too, with plans to open a market stall when he retires from the guard.

The back of his ears and the markings on his head are fuzzy.

Tefibi

Baladi Dog Person (he/they)

Pansexual, and single

They're 19 and his birthday is March 20th

New recruit to the Pharaoh's guard. Hasn't really found their fighting style or preferred weapon, but he's plucky and determined.

Born in the game, their parents live in one of the remote Egyptian settlements and work as farmers [maybe jasmine sheep shepherds?].

He is covered head to toe in short fur. He has a couple of minor scars but their fur hides them.

Other Stuff:

Playlist is mostly just Egyptian/desert-themed instrumentals, but I like playing it when doing Egypt based stuff, so I'll put it here.

Boundaries and Other Things:

-Anyone coming into my askbox/messages with racism, LGBTQA+phobia, ableism, and any other hate speech will be blocked and reported. I have zero tolerance for such things. Obviously, RPing this stuff is different, but I would like to be warned via DM/ask before the RP ask with hate speech is sent.

-Any suggestive asks will be deleted, unless they are from people who have my permission to send such asks. I get very uncomfortable when people I don't know well send me that sort of stuff, especially since I do not know how old they are.

-I'm kinda slow with replies, so please be patient with me. I can also be a bit forgetful sometimes, especially if I’ve got a lot going on. So, if I haven’t responded to something after about a day, feel free to send a gentle reminder via my askbox or messages.

-If you want me to respond to something, please use @desert-denizens, so I can easily find it. You don’t have to tag me when answering asks I have sent, I tag myself in most messages I send!

-For those of you using anon to talk to me, please say who you are in your asks, so I know who I am talking to. I can be fairly oblivious to things like writing patterns, and so I probably won’t know who you are unless you outright tell me.

-If I do anything wrong, or I’ve upset you in any way, please let me know. I struggle with social things, so sometimes I make mistakes, but I always strive to learn from my mistakes and get better!

-I'm not used to using trigger/content warnings, though I do try and tag some things. If you need me to tag a specific trigger, please let me know, and I'll be particularly careful to tag it.

-And most importantly, everyone have fun, be kind to yourselves, take breaks if you need them, and keep being awesome! <3

[ask-the-dhmis-clocks]

Hey peeps!! Just popping in to say that this blog is going to be on pause for a while! I've been a little busy lately, and I think it would be best to take a tiny break. (Not dead, just paused :])

[lastdaysofwar]

Apologies for the few days of delay in getting the recent posts reblogged! I've only just regained power and internet after a storm took them out. Back on track now.

[gryphonanon]

So... um... does anyone want a little extra angst to go along with all the other angst that's happening?

@silhouette-anon @master-dealmaker

[a-curious-anon]

Despite never sleeping, Curious still needed somewhere it could call home, a safe place where it could keep its collection of random things it found.

It eventually found a little spot in the Circus Tent, up high on some colorful blocks, that it liked. Out of the way, but in a place where it could watch people going about their lives down below. It was perfect. Later, it found a cardboard box and was able to drag it through a teleport to make a lovely little den for itself.
