The darkness pooled in, and if he could have lapped at it in hope he wouldn't have taken one singular moment for granted to be thinking about this situation of his.

"Amenophis." He could see it clearly now, the weapon glinting validly in the distance, sunlight from hidden areas finding its way to the item when it couldn't find him, as if it was the search party for the enemy.


What was valor in a moment like this?
- It seemed unorthodox to be as concerned of such things, but each person has what had its important place in their brain --

The darkness began to eat the atmosphere, bite after bite of forming incredulousness, into a slowly dizzying, pressure caught, ambiance. It was morosly lulling, as if it wasn't over yet...

With copious screams filling the air a fizzling trepidation came to colour the horizon of his mentality- a jittering static placed itself through his mind and sliced his nightly visions until he had fully awakened.


Valor dizziness dispiriting dissipation

Username: Inupait
Name: Atsu (meaning "Twin")
Gender: Male
Design their tattoos: Just a ref… will change out when I get the actual image done
Story behind the tattoos:
Atsu has always known that he was adopted; the fact never really bothered him. Till he discovered that his given name ‘Atsu’ actually meant twin in Egyptian. Did that mean that he had a twin somewhere out there? The tattoo on his forehead was given to him by his biological parents and was the only real clue he had to his real family.

So Atsu said goodbye to the lovely family that had raised him and traveled to Egypt to start the adventure of a lifetime. Over the course of several years he searched high and low for anyone who recognized the tattoo. The first year he stayed with a family that had offered him a place to sleep. They had a son his age that wanted to help him find his family so for the first year Atsu and Abran worked together to search out leads. Abran’s mother gave Atsu the tattoo on his left front leg so he wouldn’t forget them.

The second year he followed a lead suggesting an Egyptian family that had a son who had lost his twin at birth. He was shocked to discover that this boy was also named Atsu. They became very close, but it became very clear that this was not his family. But they still left their mark on his heart. He allowed them to also give him a tattoo to represent them and this one was the one on his right front leg.

After leaving his third adopted family behind Atsu traveled alone for sometime. He was investigating carvings in an old Egyptian ruin when a young girl approached him. She had dark skin and vibrant eyes. She said that she recognized his tattoo and void to help him find the origin of his tattoo. Her name was Chanzira and she adored traveling. Together they found ruins engraved with the same markings as his forehead. She also managed to steel his heart; she gave him something to remember her by. His left hind leg was painted by her hand.

Chanzira became very ill but before she left him she ensured that Atsu had a lead to follow. A very ancient family that was known to have lived by the same ruins with the eyes shaped engraving. This family was very different from the rest; they had a very strict culture to them and at the sight of him a few swore. But it was here that Atsu found something amazing. A boy names Anum, meaning first born that looked nearly identical to him, only lacking the facial markings. Atsu was certain this was his brother. But Anum was also adopted.

So together they will complete the search for their family. Anum’s family gave Atsu his final tattoo. Each of the tattoo’s remind Atsu of the steps of his journey and the amazingly divers people that have made up his life. He knows he will find his family soon and is happy to share this experience with his brother Anum.

[Bathtub Barracuda]

Jed was a very introverted child. “I was a wallflower – I was real quiet, and always preferred to watch rather than do. I didn’t like attention you know, so I spent heaps of time by myself and if I wanted something I’d have to figure out how to get it by myself”.

Early on, Jed discovered his passion for art: “I was considered a ‘creatively-minded’ child. I guess that’s just the teachers’ way of convincing my parents that I wasn’t a total dropkick in school!”. Consequently, Jed spent most of his childhood alone filling sketchbooks with scribbled patterns and drawings, and later discovered that he had an uncanny ability to ‘look outside the box’ when it came to solving problems.

“I completely flunked high school” *laughs* “The learning part of it I mean. I wasn’t worried about it, but my parents dropped a bombshell when they told me that I couldn’t make a living by sitting in my room. They were right of course”. Having outgrown his shyness, Jed was ready to get out and make his mark on the world - literally. “I wanted to be seen, I wanted to be heard, and I wanted to do it in style”.

So, drawing on his artistic skill, he decided to pursue a career in tattooing. As Jed learnt the craft, he began to see himself differently: “One day it just kind of hit me. I realised that we don't need words to express ourselves, and that we don’t need a canvas to create a masterpiece”.

Jed eventually opened his own tattoo studio, but held off from getting his own ink for while. “Eventually peer pressure got to me - how could I be taken seriously if I did not even have my own tattoos!”. So weaving in details of his heritage, his interests and his values, Jed turned his body into a living example of his own work which he displays with pride.




Eyes – Making appearances in many places on Jed's body, they are associated with the idea of the 'Eye of Providence' - the idea that some omnipotent being watches over everything, which Jed agrees with. The eye of Horus also appears on Jethro's chest which not only testifies to his Egyptian heritage but also symbolises good fortune and health.

Ram horns - Channeling the perfect mixture of his Greek and Egyptian lineage, Jed's horns are taken from the relatively lesser known criosphinx. The criosphinx, which is actually Greek but borrows the concept from Egyptian mythology, has the body of a lion and the head of a ram.

Neck scarab - Again drawing on his Egyptian roots, this winged Scarab is often associated with philosophical ideas of existence and development. Jethro is particularly fond of his scarab as it reflects the deeper, more thoughtful side of his personality which he feels is one of his lesser known attributes.

Neck design - This Greek inspired neck design was originally just a filler pattern between his main tattoos, but it has since been repeated in many of his tattoos.

Shoulders - On each shoulder is an Egyptian God:
Horus, the falcon sits on his left and holds a flail and crook, which is a symbol of royalty and authority
Anubis, the Jackal, is on his right holds the feather of Maat, which represents truth, justice, morality and balance.
In addition, Anubis has a small bass clef on his shoulder and Horus has a small treble clef on his shoulder, which are subtle links to Jed's love of music and the arts.
