**Ra**, also known as **Amon Ra**, is the Egyptian "God of the Sun" and "King of the Gods" and one of the most powerful of the pantheon. He represented the burning blazing emblem of masculine virility the Sun. He stands for the sovereignty of masculinity, logic, and raw power. He is the creator-God, and God of sun and fertility; originally apart of the Sun itself until Earth was made and he often manifested there in the Spiritual Realm. He's the progenitor of the Heliopolitan race of gods who lived in the extradimensional realm of Celestial Heliopolis adjacent to Earth and was worshipped by the people of Ancient Egypt. He is also a member of the Council of Godheads battling all threats against the Pantheons of Earth. Unable to enter the Earthly plane, throughout history he would pick champion who would work as an avatar and be guided by his will the lone warrior would be called the "Sun King".

## Biography

### Origin

Without the sun, there would be no light, no warmth, no life. Without Ra, there would be no sun. Ra is a guardian, the keeper of Ma'at - order and truth, and master of the sun. Each day he sails across the sky in a golden ship, and each night traverses the underworld, bringing light and warmth to the dead beneath the horizon. For those in the scorched South, Ra was the first God, creator of earth and sky and father to all other Gods.

#### Heliopolitans

Eventually, Ra made his way to Earth and gained the aspect of **Ammon Ra** and sired the Heliopolitan race of gods and settled in the extradimensional realm of Celestial Heliopolis. These gods were worshiped in ancient Africa. His brother Thoth nominated him as ruler of the gods. Ra had many consorts and had several children including Khonsu, Montu, and Bes as Amun. But also sired other offspring, such as Mut, Anhur, Hapi, Nekhbet, Wadjet, Bastet, Sekhmet, Hathor, Shu, and Tefnut.

A Millenia ago, Anubis attempted to usurp the throne and enslaved Amon Ra. He tried to cut out his heart and absorb the power, however he was able to outwit the Death-God by giving it to Bastet, the Panther Goddess who ripped it out his chest. She took the heart to the center of Africa to hide it, however she found a tribe of great hunters who worshipped her before hiding the heart she decided to bless one of the warriors with the blood of Ra. The warrior was tasked with protecting the heart creating the city of Necropolis in Wakanda, the "Greatest Nation on the Earth".

### Ancient Egypt

The worship of Ra and his children continued into the time of Ancient Egypt. However, 1350 B.C., Amenhotep turned away from worshiping the old gods to promote the religion of one true god he called **Aten**. He changed his name to Akhenaton and established new cities across the region. He dedicated to the worship of Aton and attempted to obliterate all traces of worship of the former gods. Akhenaton later vanished, supposedly removed from power by his priests who supported Ra returning him back to prominence.

When the Ancient Egyptian people rebelled against Ra, he became enraged with their disloyalty, so he sent his daughter Hathor to punish humanity. Her bloodlust created the ferocious Sekhmet and released such veracity against the mortals of Earth, but Ra feared she would destroy the human race. He decided trick Sekhmet into drinking 7000 jars of beer, this knocked her out long enough for her to return to normal. To stop Sekhmet from being released again he created the Orb of Ra using Hathor's right eye.

### Sun Kings across time

Ra and his son Khonshu, the Moon God had been warring against each other for millennia, having been reborn again and again through earthly avatars, with Khonshu beating Ra in every instance. In 300 B.C., he selected a Sun King in Ancient Rome who rose to the highest ranks of the Empire. He was killed by Moon Knight who worked as a Gladiator as Rome burned around them. During the Medieval ages he recruited a Sun King who he sent against a Moon Knight, but once again had slaughtered him in battle. In 1,000 A.D., Ra attended a gathering of the Council of Godheads to discuss the coming of the Celestials. A Sun King was found in the Wild West of the America. He was killed in a shootout by a gunslinging Moon Knight. During World War II a Sun King joined as allies or the Axis powers. He later lost a battle and was about executed by a Moon Knight, when he took his own life.

## Characteristics

Ra had many different forms, but his most common form was that of a falcon or falcon-headed man, especially when the deity being depicted was the composite Ra-Horakhty. But he was also often portrayed as a bearded man, a man with the head of a ram or scarab beetle, a solar disk with or without an encircling cobra as a symbol of power, or the benben, the pyramid-shaped hillock.

Ra’s power is therefore far greater than that of any of the other gods, and it is inevitable that someone so able in every way would have become their king. His right to this position was sealed by the fact that, since the ancient Egyptians thought that the “natural” order and the political order were two inextricably intertwined aspects of a single, overarching cosmic order, Ra had created the political order and the institution of kingship along with the rest of the cosmos. Even after Ra’s own kingship ended, he remained the head of the divine council, and the ruler ship was passed to his son Shu, then to Shu’s son Geb, then to Geb’s son Osiris, and finally to Osiris’s son Horus.
