Imhotep (Im: Great Priest Imhotep)

==Summary==
Imhotep is the main protagonist of the Im: Great Priest Imhotep manga franchise. A great priest from ancient times in Egypt from over 3000 years ago. He was the cause of Magai's existence on Earth. He was sealed away by command of the Gods for committing such a heinous crime. He was released 3,000 years later by command of the gods (the Ennead) and was tasked with exorcising all Magai.
Now ready to embark on his quest to atone for his sins, he meets new friends and embarks in a somewhat comedic, but dangerous adventure where old friends and new rivals get caught in the cross-hairs. Especially when Imhotep encounters his old friend Djoser who's now become evil under the influence of Imhotep himself due to the mistake he made so many years ago. Now it's up to him to not only stop the magai, but put a permanent end to his first ever true friend.

Lifting Strength: Unknown
Striking Strength: Building level (Able to harm characters who can tank his magic)
Durability: Building level+ (Endures his own explosion)
Stamina: High. Partially due to the fact that he's not physically doing all the fighting (He uses spells and has Gods and Magai fight for him at times) and thus rarely tires. However, he's also shown that he has enough stamina to continue fighting even when wounded and having already fought. He's shown to also be quite agile even after being a bit tired from taking considerable damage.
Range: Standard melee range. Several meters (With close range explosions). Tens of meters (With magic).
Standard Equipment: Purification Box, Thoth's staff, Charms
Intelligence: Gifted. He was viewed as the greatest Priest of all time and viewed as even a god. He was significantly greater than any Priest alive 3,000 years ago and had memorized many forms of magic. He's also been shown and stated to instantly learn most formula's, language, and more at first glance. He's also a very adept fighter, showcasing promising skill against trained swordsmen, and (trained) evil deities. He's able to asses the best way to approach opponents in a fight. Coming up with strategies on the spot to gather important information from a foe. He's very analytical. He's been stated as gifted even among people highly skilled in certain fields. He's so extremely talented that he's referred to as a god and is commonly believed to be able to do anything. He's a natural when it comes to his duties as a priest, such as deciphering glyphs and the mastery of magic/spells, thus his ranking as the Great Priest.
Weaknesses: Close Quarters Combat is Imhotep's Achilles heel. Most of his arsenal is meant for fighting at a distance as opposed to up close. He admits himself that he's not as good at fighting up close then he is from further distances and thus tries to create as much distance between him and his opponent as possible.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Magic:
*Exorcism: Primarily used to seal Magai away inside of the Purification Box. Magai are imitation gods. Evil gods that are the opposite of the actual gods (significantly weaker based on what we know too) and live to anchor themself to objects to pull humans in and steal their life force. Continuing the process until the Planet is destroyed. Given that the process is called an Exorcism, I imagine the Purification Box's limitation would be sealing away spiritual beings (particularly more demonic ones. Albeit good spirits aren't out of the question).
*Healing Ligature: The Healing Ligature of the Goddess Asetos is a very powerful healing technique Imhotep uses. By saying a small chant/incantation and quote unquote 'borrowing the power of the gods' Imhotep is capable of healing any wound. He needs to be holding a charm (A rock with an inscription on it) which is part of his normal gear. He's been shown to use it to heal fatally wounded innocents and allies.
*Damnatio Memoriae: Uncontestably Imhotep's strongest technique. Imhotep was able to decipher the inscriptions on the giant magic tablet. Doing so allowed him how to use Damnatio Memoriae. The specifics needed to trigger Damnatio are as follows: The light of the full moon, and Thoth's staff. The full moon lets off an immense amount of magical power. Power which that staff of Thoth can channel. However, when he first pulled of Damnatio he didn't have the staff, and instead used his body to channel the moon's power. He did so quite effortlessly and wielded it as his own magical power. Then he cited the incantation and summoned Thoth. He was then asked to pray for which he wished to be expunged. Doing so resulted in the erasure of Hell's gate by mistake. It's use is quite obvious, It can erase what he prays to be erased. Utterly obliterating something's/someone's existence from the records.
