Description

A long time ago, there was a council of powerful beings, ambiguously ancient and reputedly immortal. This was called as 'Per Aa' (Great house) council, which brought forth structure to a great Civilization deemed to exist forever. As with the former Apkallu Council, it was disintegrated and the assisted Civilization ceased to be, absorbed by a secret conspiracy and a coup orchestrated by rather internationalist forces (first the Frashokeretian, briefly 'freed' by the Hellenic and then finally absorbed into Chronpuchian colony of Tredius, the Roman Empire).

At the same time there was Ptah, already ruler of Hut-Ka-Ptah (Memphis), who was invited at some point to other civilizing council. He's reputed to have aided Imhotep building pyramids and serving as a great architect and nobleman. He was as well very touched with the social responsibility of the egyptians, but his views were more broader and he came to see 'humanity' as a manifestation of the Pan to hen (All is One), believing that there were mistakes on the takes of his and his colleagues on this 'gifted kind' through rather manipulative and outsider orders. He was also a pioneer and engineer.
Ptah was born in the 25th Century b.I, in Egypt (Hut-ka-Ptah). Among his core philosophy, he supports the accumulation of knowledge, values technique, and all kinds of labor which ties a problem-solving mind. He sees rationalization and objectification as merely "collateral damage" of a higher autonomous project which will eventually fuse the split Basileis-kings and the Technicians-artisans into a single Technocrat class.

From a late generation of the council, Osiris hailed from a city in the valley of Egypt and, initiated by Horus on the arts of Xnobius, would share with Set the Akh the control of the land. Betrayed by the same after being misunderstood, he would be saved by his wife, initiated as well in another order and by other means  (by Taweret the Telchine). His wife came to sever Apep the giant snake which dwelts on the underground, to have its mandragora fused to Osiris. As so, he became a generator of heat through Xnobius and of life through the Mandragora. Exiled in the fields of Aaru, this mummified man was helped by other members which sided with a rather equilibrated view of Ma'at and Justice, coming to form a court to judge the excess of people in the Ushabti and Akh armies. On secret, however, he developed new bodies through the aid of Khnum the genetical engineer that was a Telchine-Akh hybrid.
He wanted to perfect a body so his old one could be completely substitued by the mandragora, to be controlled telepathically or through a communion of his eventual two hearts of Xnobius. This led some dispute and rivalry with Ptah, who already was perfecting the arts of genetics and was studying about controlling other bodies - pre-existing ones - humanity itself.

But before all that could be even triggered in such minds, Isis, as a student of both Taweret (a Telchine, but not as blood-lust as the others) and of Ma'at, she was righting the deeds of he Akhs such as Sekhmet. By working with Bastet on the colonizing of the Duat (thus bridging the world of Aten-Ra and of the Civilizations the council as a whole aimed to help), she was one of those who colonized the watery realms of Wernes, and had witnessed the effects of the pools of Mnemosyne and Lethes in action, by shifting the human follower of Bast into Neith, pretty much a Hecatean entity, a version of the stream of death into the planet of Tredius. This warrior-woman taught the arts of Sekhmet to those who weren't Akhs, and soon had revealed to Isis' sister, Nephthys, the secrets Osiris and Ptah would rival to achieve. The fruit of the research, however, concerned the military brilliant leader Horus. Once Khepri broke out with a gigantic army to take Egypt as his own (during a brief time of anarchy whilst they fought the hyksos invaders), Aten made himself manifest as Ra and crowned the power of the control of the Mehen flux, and therefore of all the Akh Armies in Egypt, to Horus, through the power to exchange in multiple bodies at once.

The keeper of the secret was Nephthys. During such a time, a rogue part of the army pursued Osiris and killed him. Isis preserved his Xnobius heart and collected his parts. What brought him anew was the powerful Mandragora once stored in Apep. The outcome was the retreat of Khepri, the betrayal of Set, and a new bond between Osiris, Horus and Isis, fulfilling the roles of a Trinity, of a Holy Family to which was trusted the orders of the cosmos. Her role revealed even the whereabouts of Aten-Ra's true nature, his rivalry with Khepri and their nature. That equated her in the Council as founding members such as Djehuti.

Her only concern was the sustenance of those behind her, pretty much as following the maxims of Nut (Night-Sky Goddess). That 'behind' was put in check since she fell in love with Osiris, another of her rare kind. The Akhs are a Xnobius' controlling mammal canine-like humanoid species which have symbiosis with the Ushabti (micro-organisms which live of heat) , and have been colonized planets since the half of the Topakhon Wars. Their arrival at the African continent followed with a massive desertification of the Sahara plains (place on which lately would be the headquarters to Khepera), but their arts helped the natives which escaped. Toth, Ma'at and other founding members proposed to make the merging of these cultures with the less harm possible. But then, the original planet of the Akhs was destroyed and they had no place to descend to except for colonies in Tredius. The Akhs proposed a hegemony of their master, and Toth and Ma'at had no means to fight them back. The only ones who stood in between this clash were the generations of the Akhs who stayed and developed bonds with the humans of Tredius. Among those, there was the kind to which belong these three figures: Isis, Ptah and Osiris, daughter and sons of Akhs and humans.
Their over-whelming responsibilities left them to bit of a rivalry, decisions of leadership, activities in group, and development of bonds. But Ptah was bitter, reclusive, self-aware and arrogant. He wanted not to be a diplomat between distinct species. He wanted to create his own. What began as a concept, across history had his deeds to mark a greater evidence of all the kinds of engineering he cast upon the living beings of Tredius. He planned the Human Automation, and planned even to betrayal his comrades if necessary...
