Personality: Robert is a bit of a mix of being introverted and extroverted. He has a small group of friends with which he has rock-solid ties to. However, it takes him a while to open up to new people. He tries to open things up with some jokes, and well-timed puns, and at heart he is like a kid. He loves playing video games, and is a bit of a D&D nerd. At parties though, he likes to relax and play some video games with others, dance and converse without that otherwise awkward silence.
However, when disaster strikes, his military experience takes over. He is a strong leader and focuses on everything going on around him. He is tactical and not afraid to get in on the action. He'll bark orders like a drill sergeant and isn't afraid to get up into someone's face in order to snap them into reality. He will act to help save as many people as he can, and knows how to treat the wounded in order to stabilize them and get them sent to where ever they need to go for better medical treatment.
History: Robert was born in the United States to his mother, a nurse who worked in a nursing home. She was a single parent during the time as she had divorced her husband after he was arrested for a crime that was hidden from her. She went on to marry another, a man named Victor. Victor was a landlord, but he was also abusive to the boy when his mother wasn't around. Robert grew up despising his step-father, but his mother never believed him.
When Robert went to school, he was typically the target of bullies. He was Roman Catholic and very devout at the time, and he was toothpick thin. Eventually, during his years in junior high, Robert began taking up Kempo martial Arts and chose to fight back against the bullies. While this landed him a number of detentions, the bullying ceased.
Upon graduating from high school, Robert chose to enlist into the US Army as a means to help pay for college when he got out. He chose to be a combat medic and was sent to Fort Leonard Wood for basic training. He went to the artillery section of Basic, learning not only how to fire off an M16A2 and 9mm, but also the M60 Sub-machine gun with tripod, the AT4 Rocket Launcher, how to operate a tank turret of an Abrams Tank, a Rocket Propelled Grenade, and standard military tactics.
Upon graduating from Basic, he went into his AIT training to be a combat medic. He learned much about anatomy, the tools of the trade, how to place a catheter, and many other ways of how to save the lives of his battle buddies. It was one of the most enjoyable times during his career, having a college feel to the training, and having the freedom to go out and enjoy himself, something he couldn't do in Basic, or even when he was growing up at home.
However, there were many things that were making his faith in Christianity falter. The pedophilia scandals in the church, seeing how hateful others of his faith were towards those not of their faith, the hypocrisy of people preaching but not living the teachings, and others. It wasn't until his deployment to Iraq that he met his future.
During one of his days off, Robert had decided that he wanted to start the morning off by going to the gym across the street of the hospital in the green zone. He had spent the week prior doing 12 hours shifts of guard duty each day on the guard duty rotation, which had left him often too drained to do any exercise. However, the person pulling head count for breakfast fell ill, and Robert was told to take the soldier's place. As he made his way to the mess hall, an RPG hit the gym.
After a brief skirmish which brought Robert into the first battle of his life, that night he had a dream. In the dream he stood before a beautiful lion-headed Goddess who introduced herself as Sekhmet. She told him that it was she who saved his life by making his fellow soldier sick, and that she had watched him throughout his entire life. She had seen him face adversity head-on and how he struggled against all that was conspiring against him. She would become his strength, and in time, he would aid Her in the world's time of need.
Robert woke up the next morning, perplexed by the dream. He had never heard of the name Sekhmet before, and during his time off after his shift at the emergency room, he went to the computer at the recreation center and began to research Sekhmet. He learned that she was an Egyptian Goddess. Like all Egyptian deities, She was a duality, a balance of good and bad. She could cause and protect against plagues. During times of war, She would fiercely defend those under Her protection and rip to shreds Her enemies. She brought vengeance upon the wicked and strengthened the righteous. And priests who followed Her were the doctors and surgeons of that era.
It wasn't until Ragnarok that She appeared before Robert once more, this time physically. By that time, Robert had left the military with an Honorable Discharge when he chose to end his time in service and go to college. He had completed school and earned a degree in Veterinary Technology. But during all of the natural disasters, he was spending most of his time tending to the injured and guiding people to shelters.
Sekhmet explained that the end of times were upon them. She desired to see humanity survive the ordeal and for existence to continue, even if there was a point in time long ago where she hated humanity for rebelling against Her Father, Ra. She had grown to be very protective of the underdogs like him who grew strong enough to overcome the challenges they faced, and wanted humanity to become stronger still.
Robert agreed and decided it was time to once again take up arms. While he certainly didn't have the kind of ordinance that he was able to use during his military career, he still had a few peacemakers and a sword he had bought during a renaissance fair. It felt like something out of a fantasy novel, but it was real and it was happening now.

Unknown Soldier
Deity
Name: Sekhmet
Alias: Lady of Plague, Power of the Sun, She before whom all Isfet (Evil) Trembles, Deliverer of Holy Vengeance
Gender: Female
Origin: Egyptian
Weapons/Divine Relics: Sekhmet dual wields two flaming
khopesh swords. These are curved swords that start out straight at the bottom portion of the blade, and then sport a crescent shape as they curve around in a D-like arc.. These blades are black and have a gold blood groove along the center of the flat sides of the blades. They also give off intense heat and can burst into flames upon Her command.
Slumber Mode Appearance: Sekhmet's human appearance is that of a powerful yet beautiful woman. She stands at 5ft. 11in. in height, and is a good 180 lbs in weight. That heft, however, is muscle. While she doesn't look like a typical body builder, one can see the definition of Her muscles, and no signs of the throbbing veins that most body builders sport. She has an hourglass figure and a D-cup sized chest. Her skin is olive in color, and she has long, dark brown hair that reaches down to Her lower back, with two bangs that fall alongside Her eyes, reaching down to Her collar bone. Her eyes are a lovely shade of green.
In this form, She typically wears a form-fitting red sleeveless dress with slits down along the side leg areas. However, for her more casual appearance, she is known to wear some black jeans. She pairs this up with a red tanktop which hugs her torso while keeping her arms with free range of motion. She will normally wear red laced high heels,but will also opt for red laced sandals for a more casual feel.
Combat Mode Appearance: In this form, She increases her size to 6ft. 2in. in height while keeping her powerful figure. However, Her form is more akin to that of an anthropomorphic lioness. She keeps her long brown hair, but gains a sun disk and a golden cobra crown resting upon Her head. Her green eyes become amber in color in this form. Her body is covered in lioness fur, and her lioness tail can be seen attached to the small of her lower back.
She wears a dress of crimson red, loose enough to allow Her free range of movement, and it prevents blood stains from detracting from the dress. Her fur is a soft light brown, with black lips along Her muzzle. Her teeth have become that of a lioness, with a pair of curved, sharp incisors capable of rending flesh and shattering bone. She carries her dual khopesh swords which can be sheathed into the slots of her belt.
Basic Abilities:
Healing Touch - She can use Her power to rid the body of illness or mend flesh.
Plague Touch - She can inflict illness upon the one she touches, from a simple case of vomiting to Bubonic Plague if She feels the recipient is truly deserving of such punishment for his/her sins. The length of the disease can last for 24 hours tops given her weakened condition. On average though, the disease will usually last for a few hours as a means to cripple a target.
Empowerment - She can bequeath a portion of her strength to others, giving them a temporary burst of superhuman strength.
Fire Manipulation - She can create and manipulate all sorts of flames, much like Fire Bending for those Avatar: Last Airbender fans. Her flames can reach the temperatures of the sun itself.
Divine Strength - Sekhmet is the living Egyptian embodiment of power, and as such she is strong enough to match the likes of Hercules, Asura, Atlus and Ares in sheer brute strength.
Searing Blades - She can enchant her dual khopesh blades with the intense fires of the sun, searing every cut she makes and severely burning the flesh, making healing near impossible as each cut cauterizes the injuries made.
Fire Immunity - As she is the manifestation of the sun's power, she cannot be harmed by flames. Instead, she can absorb them and use them to increase Her strength.
Disease Immunity: As One who commands and repells plagues, She is immune to all forms of illness.
Catalysed Mode Appearance: The merger of Robert and Sekhmet creates a powerful lion-like warrior, much akin to the appearance of Bantyo Leomon from Digimon Data Squad. Robert's anthropomorphic lion form stands at a good 6ft. 5in. tall with a powerful, muscular appearance. His fur is golden orange, while his hair has become pure silver and long enough that it reaches down to his mid-back. He wears white cloth wrapping over his wrists and knuckles, as well as around his waist. He has baggy black leather pants with a black and silver-buckled belt around his waist, upon which are a number of pouches.
The pants end at midway between his knees and ankles, tapered off in white cloth. He has a lion tail, and wears on his top a black leather trenchcoat with a chain that he can detach to use like a whip. His eyes are blue like his human counterpart, but have a feline appearance like his Goddess counterpart. He wears a red and gold headband on his forehead with a black see-through visor attached. He also has holstered to his belt a Desert Eagle handgun.
Catalysed Mode Abilities:
Healing Aura - Robert can create an aura that regenerates himself and those within a certain radius of him. This is an ability that works much like in Diablo 2, where it regenerates health at a faster pace than normal, but will not completely heal everyone at once.
Healing Touch - Much like before, only now healing is faster and more thorough.
Plague Shot - Robert infuses his bullets with plague, causing any wound created by them to spread infection and inflammation, preventing healing and regeneration magics from working on them until the plague is cured first. The disease this attack causes can last for several hours, shorter than Plague Touch as the recipient will have much worse things headed their way than just this single attack.
Flame Shot - Robert infuses his bullets with the heat of the sun. These bullets will not only inflict additional fire damage, but it will cauterize the wound it makes, hindering healing and regeneration abilities/magics.
Healing Shot - Instead of firing out bullets, he can fire shots of healing energy, which can partially heal a target.
Divine Power Amplified - Much like divine power, only now the physical strength is double of what Sekhmet's physical strength was before the merger.
Flame Whip - Robert removes the long chain from his leather trenchcoat and uses it like a whip. The flames of the whip can reach the temperature of the sun, and can elongate at the will of the wielder
Fire Immunity - Same as before, Robert and Sekhmet's combined form is immune to fire of all sorts and can absorb and empower themselves from those flames.
Disease Immunity - Same as before, this combined form is immune to all forms of disease.
Mecha Mode Appearance: In Mecha form, Sekhmet grows to be at good 60ft in height and becomes made of gold and red godmetal. Her face looks like a lioness's head as if made origami style. Her body is a slender figure to allow for greater speeds. Along the length opf her arms are long, curved blades that can pop out switch-blade style. She still has a lion tail that acts more like Soul Calibur Ivy's chain sword.
Even in this form, she has a female-esque figure and most of her torso is made of red godmetal. She is fast and strong in this form, and like her other forms, she prefers up close and personal combat. However, with the ability to fire a shotgun-like projectile from her mech feline mouth, she is able to engage in medium ranged combat. She can also use the solar disk on her head to gather up sunlight. Once enough has been soaked in, she can unleash a powerful beam of fire and intense heat, which is her one long-range attack.
Mecha Mode Abilities:
Searing Blades - Much like before, she can heat her blades up to the temperature of the sun and can melt the metal bodies of other mechs that are not resistant to intense fire and heat.
Fire Burst - Much like Catalysed, except that She can fire a highly condensed ball of flame that then bursts forward like shotgun pellets, causing massive fiery damage at close to medium range
Tail Lash - Sekhmet can use Her chainsword-like tail to slash, or most times wrap around a limb or neck and then quickly yank it back in order to try and remove a limb or head of another mech.
Virus Fangs/Claws - Any bite or claw strike that punctures the enemy mech can inject a virus code into the injured mech, causing malfunctions.
Immunity to Fire - Same as before.
Immunity to Viruses - Much like how Immunity to Disease works, only this time it prevents her from being infected by mech viruses
Super god strength - Her physical power is at its peak in this form.
Solar beam - Just like the Pokemon Move, she can absorb the rays of the sun and release a massive beam blast that can incinerate or melt whatever is in it's path. This is her strongest fire attack.
Personality: Sekhmet is, as most all Egyptian Gods and Goddesses are, a duality. She is in many ways like the lioness that is Her form. She is a caring yet strict parent to her followers. She will protect those under her care with utmost ferocity, and She will guide those under her care like a loving and nurturing parent, so that they grow up to be strong and righteous. However, she will not dote on those in her care. If they mess up, they are to learn from their experiences, and if they commit sins, she will punish them accordingly. She is also very tomboyish, wanting to have fun and compete against others. She is approachable, but She is blunt about Her feelings and will never refrain from speaking Her mind.
However, the other side of her is that of a warrior who lives for the hunt. To Her enemies, She is vicious, merciless, and can even be bloodthirsty. She uses her speed and overwhelming strength to take down her opponents. While using Her khopesh blades is Her main means of attack, she will not hesitate to use Her claws or her fangs. She is not stupid, however, when it comes to tactics. She knows how to cripple her foes with illness, and wields fire with great skill. And if it comes down to it, she's smart enough to escape and regenerate her wounds before going back into the fray.
Mythololgy: Sekhmet is a solar deity, also called the daughter of the sun god Ra, and is often associated with the goddesses Hathor and Bast. She bears the solar disk and the uraeus which associates her with Wadjet and royalty. With these associations she can be construed as being a divine arbiter of the goddess Ma'at (Justice, or Order) in the Judgment Hall of Osiris, associating her with the Wedjat (later the Eye of Ra), and connecting her with Tefnut as well.
Sekhmet is one of the oldest known Egyptian deities. Her name is derived from the Egyptian word "Sekhem" (which means "power" or "might") and is often translated as the "Powerful One". She is depicted as a lion-headed woman, sometimes with the addition of a sun disc on her head. Her seated statues show her holding the ankh of life, but when she is shown striding or standing she usually holds a sceptre formed from papyrus (the symbol of northern or Lower Egypt) suggesting that she was associated primarily with the north.
Sekhmet was represented by the searing heat of the mid-day sun (in this aspect she was sometimes called "Nesert", the flame) and was a terrifying goddess. However, for her friends she could avert plague and cure disease. She was the patron of Physicians and Healers, and her priests became known as skilled doctors. As a result, the fearsome deity sometimes called the "lady of terror" was also known as "lady of life". Sekhmet was mentioned a number of times in the spells of The Book of the Dead as both a creative and destructive force, but above all, she is the protector of Ma'at (balance or justice) named "The One Who Loves Ma'at and Who Detests Evil".
The saving of mankind was commemorated every year on the feast days of Hathor & Sekhmet. Everyone drank beer stained with pomegranate juice and worshiped "the Mistress and lady of the tomb, gracious one, destroyer of rebellion, mighty one of enchantments". A statue of Sekhmet was dressed in red facing west, while Bast was dressed in green and faced east. Bast was sometimes considered to be Sekhmet´s counterpart (or twin depending on the legend), and in the festival of Hathor they embodied the duality central to Egyptian mythology. Sekhmet represented Upper Egypt while Bast represented Lower Egypt.
History: Sekhmet had ridden upon the prow of Ra's boat since the dawn of time. Her goal was to keep Her father safe from the Devourer of Existance, Apep. She excelled at her duty, and gave power to Ra, to be filtered and sent to the planet He wished to foster life upon. She was actually two Goddesses in one. On the peaceful side was Hathor, the Goddess of Beauty and Love. Sekhmet was the more violent side, but despite that she was loyal to Her father Ra above all else.
Ra then fostered a colony of humans, along with his son Osiris and daughter Isis. These humans lived in the region that would later be known as Egypt. Ra, Djuehuty, Osiris and Set all helped to cultivate humanity, as well as provide them challenges to overcome. All watched as humanity rose to become a powerful nation and people, achieving great works and advances. However, as their greatness rose, so too did their conceit.
One day, a group of humans led by a corrupt pharoah declared the Gods to be obsolete, and that they themselves should become Gods. Angered by this, Ra sent Sekhmet to quell the rebels. However, the outcome was not what Ra had expected. Sekhmet developed a taste for human blood, and Her thirst for battle blinded her, endangering humanity. Ra and Djehuty concocted a plan. They filled a lake with beer and dyed the liquid crimson with pomegranate. thinking it to be blood, Sekhmet drank the entire lake, falling into a drunken slumber shortly after. Ra removed Sekhmet and reprimanded her. During that time, the power of the sun weakened during her mourning in penance over what She had done. She then returned, striving to keep her desire for battle in check, saving Her wrath for those truly deserving of it. During the arrival of Yahweh who sought to free His people from a corrupt pharaoh, Ra agreed to deny His blessings and protection to the people of Egypt as punishment for their corruption. As such, he sought the company of humans who would uphold his tenants instead, broadening his reach through Pagan groups.
Eventually, after several thousand years, Ragnarok occurred. Tyr approached Ra to ask for aid in order to save the many realms from annihilation. Ra has a vested interest in humanity, and Sekhmet was His fiercest warrior. With the Egyptian Gods in tow, He sought to help bring an end to the apocalypse before all that was created ended up destroyed. Sekhmet was at the front of the Egyptian armies, and many that She faced found themselves in awe and fear of Her ferocity, power and Her ability to cause those against Her power to cripple in disease and weakness.
However, she also found herself fighting other Gods with equal power. Only after facing three of the most physically powerful evil Gods was she defeated and sent falling to Earth. Those she faced were also heavily injured and fell to the mortal realm along with her. After landing, she found herself in Connecticut, in the United States. It was there that she would meet a human that she offered aid to several years before Ragnarok began. He was a human who started as the weakest and most vulnerable, but who had stood strong and overcame those who conspired against him to become a mighty warrior and healer. She explained the situation, and the young man accepted Her offer.
