Description This is a series of "Version #1" designs for at least some of the main cast gods who will appear in DuatStories. These are not final designs, they are subject to change any time! I thought it a good idea to try and make full designs right of the bat, to have a better grasp and understanding on the characters.

Thoth
As the son of Atum, the God of Life, Thoth was among the first living beings, even though he had spent most of the known world's forming in a deep slumber. He is the God of Knowledge, Wisdom, Magic and Sciences, the rational side of humanity.
Thoth, although born at the same time as Ra, had always willingly placed himself one step under his brother, serving as a support, advisor, overseer and scribe. He had always believed that his calling is to serve the throne, but never sit upon it. Due to his role and age, Thoth had been the tutor of nearly every god that was born after them, helped them discover their powers and abilities. As such, he is viewed by many as an almost second father figure, beloved and respected. Thoth is very good with children, effortlessly switching between strict and gentle when it is needed. His patience is nigh-endless and one can always rely on his willingness to teach others and share knowledge or discoveries.
While he is much calmer and more collected than Ra, Thoth shares a big flaw with his brother: he too is absolutely terrible at sharing his problems and his feelings with others. As a key figure in the administration, he had come to rely on only himself, and aims to keep others out of his troubles. When he faces an inner crisis, he'd rather bury himself in work, than confronting it head-on. Despite being a wise god, Thoth is also full of regret and doubt that gnaw at him on his worse days... especially that one terrible mistake that eventually cost him the cherished and sorely needed bond with his brother. Now, Thoth is utterly terrified of Ra and prefers to stay away from him as much as possible.
Despite his fragile look, Thoth is among the strongest gods in existence. While Ra's style is flashy, brutal and in-your-face, Thoth uses spells, wards, stealth and sneaking around. Being the ace card and final line of defense for the rightful pharaoh, Thoth can be perhaps the most ruthless, relentless god out there, as the body guard and assassin of the king.

I failed miserably with drawing baboons, so that is left out for now...
This is not every info about the character. Some details are left out for future story, some are still under development. Still, helpful criticism is always welcome! Thank you!

"One terrible mistake"? What was it? I've been looking all over trying to figure out what it is, but I can't find anything in the books I have available. I'm guessing it has something to do with Ra's secret name and Isis banishing him?

kenyizsu In reply to DragonGirlMesilune [2018-10-09 15:50:59 +0000 UTC]

I would say it is spoilers, but since it's a core conflict in the story I tackle in the very first chapter, there is not much.


Thoth created the five days on which Isis, Seth, Osiris and Nephthys (and according to some variations, Horus the Elder) could be born from Nut, despite the curse which Ra had put on her. With this, Thoth enabled Isis to eventually steal Ra's Ren and force him into exile.


And yeah, I know there is a version where Nut herself created the five new days, but fuck that, that's not dramatic enough.

Seriously?! Ra, Thoth may be the God of Knowledge, but he can't see the future! If he hadn't done that you'd be stuck with an eternally pregnant hormonal sky goddess constantly bitching at you and waking everyone up at three in the morning with cravings for chocolate covered pickles or something!!!

The thing is: Ra had a premonition that one of the kids would dethrone him, that is why he cursed her in the first place. In my story, Thoth did not take it seriously.
He should have. But he didn't. And Ra didn't want ro hear is explanation, he just attacked on sight.

DragonGirlMesilune In reply to kenyizsu [2018-10-09 18:29:38 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I remembered that after I posted. But the idea of a super-pregnant Nut laying in bed screaming for food while Ra just covers his ears in utter misery just cracks me up!

!!!! /swings by here to say that I'm loving all your deity designs for DuatStories so far! They're all looking good and I really like you depiction of Thoth here o)7 Keep at it!!

Thank you so much, it really helps a lot! ^^ Gives a boost of confidence and inspiration.

If I may, what does "o)7" mean, exactly? I've seen you use it many times, but for the life of me, I cannot understand it. Is it a smiley? I've wanted to ask this for a while now.

TeniCola In reply to kenyizsu [2017-09-04 19:23:48 +0000 UTC]

No problem! And oh-- it's an emote ahaha, it's basically meant to be a person giving a good-luck salute, where the 7 is the hand -- o)7

Then there's o)/ or where the slash is a waving arm; o)9 when the 9 is a pumped-up fist; \o\ and /o/ are just waving both hands in the air; /)o(\ is like... uh, I guess like trying to cover or hold your face, I think >>

HONESTLY they're kinda silly and most are borrowed from seeing others use it (so I may be off on some), but usually the o is always a person's head (the parenthesis is... optional but makes some of them more clear)

\o/ !

Thank you, I'm so glad you like him this much! ^^

No one said I'm gonna give him an easy time. If his brother has it hard, so will he! Boyyyy, I can hardly wait to dive right into it! >w< But first, I need to set the stage properly for the stories.

You're welcome! He's one of the best Thoths ever to be characterized!!  (Also the most adorable ) 

Ugh, I know that feeling! So many ideas and snippets, but so many require in depth settings and it's like why?? Why can't it just explode out of the brain onto paper??

Köszi szépen! ^^

Igen, ez egy alig ismert oldala Thoth-nak, hogy volt egy efféle feladata is. Én is csak nagyon nehezen találtam rá, de huhuhuhúúúú, de nagyon megörültem neki.
