one track raptor brain  Mr. Twisted (Fir’aun) for @emp-roar but I go off the rail 

[emp-roar]

Promptly after their alleged death, post-humous dishonorable discharge from the Chiss Ascendancy, Ere’bus fled to Lesser Space or the known galaxy to raise an empire of their own.  A shadow syndicate functioning as part of the galaxy’s functioning economy and infrastructure, from owning businesses to managing a private army under Ere’bus and handling clients both for the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire. This shadow syndicate has no solidified name as they go by vary to keep multiple identities and anonymity, but the inner circle refer to themselves as The Leylines.

what would be the meaning of the name Fir’aun? In word by word translation?

Fir’aun translated to ‘Twisting’ or ‘Twisted’ depending on the context it is used in a Yautja sentence.

(Irl Firaun is the Arabic word for Pharaoh.)

Refined design of the Pharaoh Yautja : Fir’aun/Set 

Early story development and Ideas: bear with me it’s a little bit of lore I took liberties of making and slotting it into a moment in irl history that would make it interesting. Also bc Cleopatra is generally just a very interesting woman to read abt bc most of our historic accounts are written by her enemies. kudos to Jeff Simpsons for being my current biggest inspiration, love doing this for studies, concept and value practices.

We know from AvP that Ancient Egypt was one of the first civilizations whom housed the Yautja and built pyramids to hunt xenomorphs, and hence I thought about the yautjas who stuck around to supervise the stability of the pyramids and by proxy, oversees the development of the civilizations who built and sacrifice for the hunt.  These Yautja who live among the humans naturally became the figureheads of the pantheon, and in the case of Egypt, they take the form of the major nine deities aka the Ennead. Composed of mostly Elders and Elites. The names assigned to these Gods are just names the people address them by, but not necessarily their true name. There are only a few occasions in which the people may see the ‘Gods’, though often it is only when the hunt for the rite of passage is required, and only when the Ennead requests an audience with the Pharaoh of Egypt or vice versa. Note: Pharaohs are perceived as deities of their own, but they are not equal. Rather they act as a vassal to the members of the Ennead to act their will to the people. 

Enter Fir’aun:

Fir’aun his true name or known by the people of Ancient Egypt as Sutekh or Set, was a yautja known by other members of the Ennead as particularly violent, in favor of other kingdoms waging war on the people in order to ‘strengthen’ them. Sutekh love to hunt in desert storms when his surroundings are most difficult and he is tasked by the Ennead as he who oversees the serpents. Diagram: Set spears Apep, serpent of chaos. The story of the battle between Apophis seemed to parallel the AvP baseline concept, that is:  “Storytellers said that every day Apep must lie below the horizon and not persist in the mortal kingdom.“ - Wikipedia page on Apep Though Set has never been in good terms with the people, and there were many sections of Egyptian history where he was demonized altogether, hence the divide between Set and the people. He hides away in his ruined temples, worshipped by cults and only ventures out to hunt in desert storms or when the Ennead calls him to duty.

Enter Cleopatra:

Cleopatra ruled Egypt until her brother had conspired against her, promptly exiling her outside of Egypt alongside her sister Arsinone. Though what her brother failed to remember was that she was an established woman who ruled as Pharaoh longer than he did. On top of that, historically it was accounted that she was a woman who spoke more than a handful of languages and I took the liberty to say that, with the access of the Library of Alexandria, she dedicated herself in learning the language in which only Pharaohs may attempt but few succeeded: the language of the Gods, aka the Yautja language. Hence, she came to the God, most turn away from, and found Set in his temple. There she ask that he would help her regain her throne, and while Set is disinterested, the Queen then pointed out that his brother will be incapable of handling the Roman warriors who may threaten to annex the kingdom, and if that were to happen, then the Yautja may be regarded as false gods.  Set understood this mutual ground and agreed. TLDR: This story is about Pharaoh Yautjas vs Caesar and the Roman legions.
