## Biography

### Early Life

#### Born in the Void

Amun was the second born Ogdoad, the Primordial Egyptian Gods, born to the goddess of the Abyss, Khaos, known to the Pesedjet as Nunet. Amun lived in the Void with his siblings for many years. He took took it upon himself to look after his younger siblings as a father figure, going as far as to adopt Shu and Tefnut as his son and daughter. A sentiment shared by them when they adopted Geb and Nut. Over time Amun developed a great rivalry with his brother Apophis thanks to their rivaling concepts.

#### Allfather Amun

Soon after he was born, Amun approached his mother Nunet, together, they concieved a child who was the perfect combination of light and dark, the goddess Serket. Near the beginning of the Prime Universe, Amun formed two children on his own, the first Ennead. The first was Thoth, the god of knowledge who acted as Amun's scribe. The second was Hathor, the goddess of love who managed to seduce Amun into having a child with her, forming Maat, the goddess of truth. Amun was also approached by the sky goddess Nut, and together they a daughter they named Mut, who he took as his wife and with whom Amun eventually had a son with, named Khonshu. Amun led the Pesedjet into the newly created Universe in search of a new home.

#### Separation of Light and Dark

Amun and the Pesedjet were attacked by his older twin brother Apophis, who despised the Ogdoad and Ennead. Having obtained the power of the Dark One, and with the help of his daughter Kauket, Apophis easily overpowered the Pesedjet and attempted to use the Darkness to destroy the new Prime Universe. The Pesedjet fought valiantly, but it was no use against the Dark One.

Amun, with the combined help of all the gods, managed to create an artifact designed to siphon away the dark gods power. He used it on them, weakening them both enough to banish them and save the virgin Universe. Kauket was locked away on a far away planet while Apophis was banished to the Astral Plane.

#### New Found Darkness

The Darkness contained within the artifact he used against Apophis came at a price. That same darkness started to corrupt Amun, causing him to grow a darker, more imposing persona he rebranded as Amun-Ra. Amun-Ra was approached by the Archangel Lucifer, who wanted the artifact in his possession. Fearing keeping the Darkness with him, Amun-Ra gave up the weapon to the Angel.

#### The Eyes of Ra

Around this time, Amun-Ra had two more children with the magic goddess, Isis, the felid twins Sekhmet and Bastet. With his many daughters, Amun-Ra thought to band them all together as a strong warier team of Ennead for the Pesedjet and loyal servants to the Sun God.

### Pharaoh of the Ennead

#### The Sun King

Amun-Ra ruled over the gods with his wife Mut in his space bearing Solar Barque, the *Mandjet*. While things were peaceful for a while, the Pesedjet eventually learned by word from Thoth, that Apophis has escaped from the Shadow Realm. Terrified, not only because of Apophis' escape but because they were sitting ducks in the middle of nowhere, Amun-Ra commanded his Eyes to be on constant look out for the Dark One.

#### Banning new Life

Nut suggested that they must increase their numbers, to which Amun-Ra furiously shot down, not wanting to bring more life into a world where Apophis is on the loose. To make sure his new law is upheld, Amun-Ra got Shu to watch Geb and Nut to make sure they do not have anymore children so long as his light shined on them.

#### Being Tricked by his Sons

Nut managed to talk with Thoth and Khonshu to devise a plan to let her and Geb have more kids. Thoth talked with Amun-Ra, distracting him, allowing Khonshu's light to overtake Amun-Ra's. Geb and Nut managed to conceive one child before Horus saw what was happening and alerted Amun-Ra. But at that point it was too late, and their daughter was born.

#### Founding Heliopolis

The Ogdoad and Ennead eventually settled within the Astral Plane above the Terran city Heliopolis. While they were settling in Heliopolis, the gods made themselves known to the Egyptian people who deify them and Ra as their *de facto* leader. Ra and Anubis worked together to get the Egyptians to build the Great Sphinx and later the Great Pyramids of Giza.

#### Rematch with Apophis

Apophis broke free from the Shadow Realm and continued his attempt to destroy reality by attacking the Rainbow Dimension, the Heart of Yggdrasill. Amun-Ra learns about this from his son Thoth, god of knowledge and foresight, and immediately went to stop him. Ra intercepted Apophis on the shattered remains of a central planet, and pushed him into the Bifröst and out of the Rainbow Dimension.

The Bifröst carries them to Egypt on Earth where they crash land in the Library of Alexandria. Apophis taunts Ra, explaining how he is only prolonging the inevitable. That the Entity and the Darkness will win in the end. As the battle goes on, Ra continues to attack Apophis with his fire, but each one is deflected and crashing into the surrounding building, setting it ablaze. Eventually, Ra, using all of his power managed to banish Apophis back to the Shadow Realm and strip him of his Dark One abilities. Looking around the burning library, he catches the eye of Julius Caesar before flying a way back to Heliopolis.
