Personal Belongings

Heru is one that believes in being prepared, so he has a various list of items that he keeps at the ready. Since he is greatly achieved when comes to magickal knowledge, he has many different types of scrolls and parchment. Heru also has an extended library of books in his home, which deal with history, magickal laws, and a directory of his magickal rituals and artifacts. A valued possesion of his is a golden Scepter/Staff, in which he uses in his rituals, and a ridged ankh, which is often flipped up-side down, to represent a connection with darkness.

The man also has many different ceremonial robes, all of which are dark in coloration, and small bits of armor for his own protection: gauntlets, a chest guard, leathered suit with chainmail fitting, and boots. Oddly enough, Heru also keeps a group of embalming and mummification tools, consisting of salts, herbs, two daggers, a removal rod, and a mummification alter. Heru also has a set of dark colored spell books, and a secret stash of items in dedication towards the demonic Apep. Gold rings, and several piercing materials (facial) are also a part of his list of belongings. In addition to all of this, Heru has a dark horse by the name of Kieran, in which he prefers over any grumpy old camel anyday.

Let's See How You Write

The darkness. Oh, the sweet smell of pain! In the shadows of a darker lair, only the light of a few candles hanging on nearby walls could be seen, and it brought an eerie aura to the scene. In the center of the room, a large altar and a dark figure stood tall. Who was it? Heru Maahes, a priest by the daylight hours, and a dark sorceror by nightfall. This was his home, or rather a temple in setting, and this was the very ritualistic place that he enjoyed. A truely frightening sight to see, and the smell of death lingered in the air.

Oh, sweet death! Nice guys are always said to finish last, and this was a statement that Heru had taken to heart. A heart. Literally what he was holding in his blood-stained hands. It was that time again, and as he was classified with the duties of an embalmer, he took his work all too seriously. Heru took it to the point of torture, and a distant secret to cause an uproar within Egypt. Deep down, he hated all those of good stood for, and he was terribly jealous of the royal family--even though he had a wealthy status already. It was a hatred of a darker nature, and something that he could channel into his daily practices.

"A still-beating heart. How nice." Heru stated with a dark grin, still having part of his face hidden by the shadows. He then set off a dark laugh, placing the bloodied lump onto the altar. What exactly was he planning on doing? Just a simple task really. An experiement. Surely one of a great status such as a king could understand? Yeah, right. Heru was going to preform a sacred ritual in dedication to the demonic one, Apep. Something that was to be unshattered for his sanity. Monster. Liar. Killer. Demon.

Beginning the ritual, he slowly chanted the dark and emotionless words to his dedication. "Apep. Great ruler of darkness. I dedicate this offering as a token of my loyalty to you. This still-beating heart represents your strength, and wisdom. The blood of this holy act is in representation of your darkness and rule over the chaos in the world. You have granted me much strength, and now I return to you the favor." Heru continued on, soon pulling out his golden scepter, and preforming a few waving motions over it.

"To you, oh great king! Continue to grant me this power and I will be forever in your debt. I am loyal to the very end. You have my word. So it shall be." Placing his scepter down, he then proceeded to like the heart ablaze with a nearby blue candle, keeping his actions unholy as he watched the fire burn, and the blood bubble. Such an interesting night this has been!

You've got a good application going, however, I'm going to ask that you remove anything about disliking the Pharaoh as well as his status as a priest. Quite frankly, I believe that disliking the Pharaoh is getting a bit more common, so that's something obvious to leave out especially for your type of character.

Reasons I am asking to remove the status of a priest is due to the fact that he is already a sorcerer. According to the Mummy movies, it isn't a requirement that they have the status of a priest in order to know spells of sorts. They could be a sorcerer in general.

ACCEPTED

Just make sure you edit your sample post and get rid of anything that states priest. :)
