Number: 12
Picture:
Name: P'rah, also known as the mother of justice, chaos, and death
Species: Often portrayed as a wolf-like creature, maybe a jackal, but her build is more robust. Also she is the godess of hunting and the drought.
Personality: In the legends of the lands of Gniff, she is often described as a focused hunter, always moving in for the next kill, enjoying the rush of the hunt. Sometimes she is decribed as cold, or uncaring, but it is rare, and is often just a random thought that come into ones mind while reading the legends. In 'reality' she's not so judging as her offspring, but is very cautious around species other than canine.
Likes: Hunting, canines
Dislikes: The trio of justice, chaos, and death
Background (Optional, but it gives you a better shot)
P'rah was a being in the beginning of the world, she kept herself in the shadows, waiting for her chance to get into the world. The great gods of creation were patient with her, because they knew she would fulfill an important role in the maintance of the new world.When the world was almost done, she couldn't contain herself, and entered.
At that time, the new world was still being shaped by millions of years, and the giant reptiles still roamed the world. She had not been granted the powers she would get finally, so when a hungry reptile with feathers, and huge claws on the feet moved in for the kill, there was no chance of survival. The gods of creation saw this, and fetched her back to the nothingness immidiately, but she was punished, all of her reign she would have to have half her vision taken over by Ptu, one od the gods of creation, so Ptu could observe all her actions, and judge her fitness for the job, at all times.
Eventually she was allowed to enter the new world, and what great world it had become!
The humid and cramped rainforests had changed to vast expanses of high grass, with the occasional tree standing in solitude. but the world was barren of life, she discovered that her job was to create the first forms of life in the finalized new world, like a base for the new sort of life besides birds, fish, afibians, reptiles, and everything else that had already been made. The new group should be stronger, and more intelligent than any of the before. She kneaded the mud with her paws, and before her a shape stood, the shape that would create the base of the ruling group in this world, it was a canine-like creature, its muzzle held proudly. P'rah was so satisfied with the creature, that she didn't hesitate on giving it life that instant.
Ptu was not pleased, sure the creature could be used as a base, but the complexity of the beast couldn't be copied too many times without the new group looking all the same. Ptu therefore took three unique abilities from the beast, and passed it on to everything in the new group: Fur, the ability to produce milk, and the special earbones.
Now the world got filled with all kinds of new creatures; from the giant herbivore elephant, to the small carnivore civet.
P'rah was pleased, she liked walking around teaching the new beats the gifts of communication, compassion(and other feelings too), and most of all the ability to co-exist, not trying to instantly kill eachother.
One day P'rah gave birth to a litter of three, the cubs were very odd: One had long skinny legs, and large ears, another a stocky body and grusome teeth, and the third was very small and looked fragile amog his brethren. But the most striking of all, the pups were ugly. Not ugly, like a crooked muzzle, but ugly with thier wierd colours that would never give them any camouflage agianst the tall grass, their striking red, gold, black, blue, and greenish pelt flickered in the sun.
P'rah was shocked, these pups were not fit for anything like survival, she asked the gods of creation for thier wisdom, but for once thy were silent. In the end she decided to exile them from the lands of Gniff, as soon as they didn't depend on milk for survival. As the day came, she chased them away, Ma'at, the oldest and the only female, took the role as a leader of the young cubs, and led them away. To distract her from the sorrow, P'rah killed a near antilope. The rush of the kill made her forget, and she liked the taste of the life the prey possesed as she closed her jaws around the neck. They say that she is still out there hunting, so she can forget her misgivings and failures.
By the way, her three pups later became gods themselves Red and gold pup=Osiris=God of the Death/Guide od the Death Black and blue pup=Ma'at=Godess of justice and lastly Greenish and grey pup=Seth=God of Chaos
