OOC: Notes on powers, appearance, auras, whatever

Amascut's entry on the Milliwiki

Amascut is a goddess (or was, depending on your definition of god), but for baseline humans and other species/living things that don't have supernatural senses, it will be very difficult for them to tell she is a goddess. First, she is trapped in a human body. Second, there is that pesky curse that prevents others from remembering who she is. Hence why I use ███████ in place of her name while IC, even during narration.

Appearance: Amascut's body appears to be that of a late 20's/early 30's woman of middle eastern descent. Egyptian, if you want to get exact. Her hair color is atypical for the middle east; she has red hair. Well, the red hair phenotype may not be impossible to find among the Berbers and possibly the ancient Hittites, perhaps even among some Pharaonic dynasties (but let's stop discussing this before White and Black Power trolls come a'knocking). She still retains some ability to change her appearance, but she hasn't so far in canon changed her appearance to something other than a female human (though there was one time in canon were she appeared in a dream as a very sexy red shelled scarabite - well, sexy to the scarabite high priest in whose dream she appeared). She may not even be capable of physically changing her appearance. It may be a mind trick, after all. Her eyes are also very atypical. She has red irises.

Combat readiness, etc.: My mama always said that the devil was wise not because he is the devil, but because he is old. Amascut is very old, I am guessing at least 8,600 years old. In that time she has made numerous enemies (though she is saved somewhat by the fact that most of them can't remember her name) and I am sure there are many who wanted to use her or her undying body for various nefarious purposes. The fact that she is not bound in some dungeon being tortured hints that she is very good, at the very least, of escaping, and at the most, she is watched over by the gods so that no one gains permanent possession of the walking MacGuffin that Amascut can become in the right hands. Being that she's a former goddess of Bodily Rebirth and that she's currently a slayer master, I assume she has an intimate knowledge of the anatomies of various living things and can easily kill, maim, or disable various creatures, even mostly magical things and maybe even some simple mechanical automata. Technology wise, she will probably become fond of causing memory faults by repeating her name over and over. She is probably very skilled with medieval weaponry and destructive magics. In canon, she has caused her minions to burst into flames, so she may favor fire magic. An important thing to note is that she is mentally unstable. Whatever condition she is suffering from, she has had several millennia to get over it but hasn't. As a consequence, she fights nowhere near as efficiently as someone with her experience should (think of it as a severe case of enemy forgot to level up).  She should still be a very frightening opponent.

Powers: Whether Amascut was able to retain a few powers when she was depowered and trapped in a human body, was able to train her human body to perfom a couple of tricks, or has these powers as a result of the curses placed upon her and her name will be determined later.

regeneration: As a former goddess of bodily rebirth or because of the Powers keeping her trapped in a human body, Amascut has a very rapid regeneration ability. To top it off, her heart is especially resilient. The rest of her body can be destroyed but her heart will be the last to go, surviving even her bones. Her body can regenerate from just a bit of heart tissue. She will try to get other gods and godlike beings to destroy her and free her, but obviously her efforts so far have failed.

bottomless pit: Once enough of her human body is destroyed, she can start exerting more of her godly power on reality. This manifests as the creation of gravity wells deep enough to become small black holes. Most will appear around her disembodied heart in an attempt to destroy it. She also likes eating souls/casting souls into the pit of eternal restlessness/despair/constant downward accleleration that is her stomach. Too bad she can't open her mouth wide enough to swallow people whole. XD

hypnosis/other mind tricks:In fanfics, she brought back people back from the dead body and soul in order to command the body to do her bidding and drive the soul insane. That may have been before the curses were placed upon her. In canon, she has hypnotized people in order to retrieve items from places that were warded against her. The curse of forgetfulness should affect all but the most godlike of demigods, and even then, holding onto memories of who Amascut  is would cause those who remember to forget bits and pieces of other memories. This curse doesn't apply to anyone or anything that existed more than 7,500 years ago (according to who's timeline? I'll leave that up to you if your pup even approaches that age).

P.S. (Pay attention all ye shifters and those with enhanced senses of smell) Amascut has a very well documented hatred/paranoia of cats. Her living quarters in game smell of dead cat, and it is likely those with sensitive noses will smell this on her scent. For those pups with cat forms, she is likely to smell a certain cattishness about you and as a result will not treat you well. Not that she treats anyone well, but cats receive special treatment from her.
