- The King of Kings
- As is with his illustrious title, Rameses believes himself above all commoners, and above all other Kings in the world, including a certain gilded egotist. He challenged his peers to outshine his great feats in life, and no other pharaoh has done so.
All live to serve the chosen one of Ra, and to marvel at his splendid works. Any who disagree with his word is welcome to step up and match his greatness, though no other ruler in Egypt was able to live up to the Great Ancestor

- Man of Peace

- Religious Hooligan
- Rameses in his life, completely eradicated the Amarna faith in the god Aten, returning Egypt back to it's polytheistic worship. He even went as far as vandalizing the Amarna monuments and statues to Aten, making Rameses on of the oldest vandals in history, a fact he is fiercely proud of, returning Egypt to it's religious roots, all in the name of Ra.
LIKES[/color]: Ra. Himself. Statues of himself. Himself. Monuments dedicated to him in his honor. Himself. Egypt. Himself. Extravagance. Himself. The world "glorious."
DISLIKES[/color]: Other (lesser) Kings. Peasants. Amarnans. Dentists. People who are not him.
STRENGTHS[/color]: His Empire. Being the greatest pharaoh of all time, Rameses' Empire was substantial, as was it's standing army, which he led with great distinction. His military prowess is what earned him such reverence from succeeding rulers and historians alike. His skill on the battlefield was unmatched by any of his successors, and his noble artistry was unparalleled by many.
WEAKNESSES[/color]: His own vanity. Believing himself the epitome of an artist, everything crafted by others is a mere footnote. All other Kings too are inferior to the great Ozymandias. This is his true weakness, as his ego may earn the ire of a stronger opponent.

MY LEGEND: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramesses_II[/color]
MY HISTORY[/color]: As it was written in stone, etched onto rock by the will of Ra, only I, the great Rameses of Egypt am capable of reciting my own glorious life in it's full splendor.
I was born in 1303BC to my father, the not quite as great Seti I. At the age of fourteen, my father saw it fit to appoint me as Prince Regent. I, however saw fit to rectify that and became pharaoh of Egypt at the age of nineteen, and started my glorious reign over Egypt.
I contented myself with building my fabulous cities, my illustrious temples and glorious monuments to myself, building my great city of Pi-Rameses across the Nile in conquered Hykos before building my wondrous Temple of Set.
Then, in my next military move I took back my rightful lands from the filthy Nubians and trashy Hittites, seizing the great Egypt's borders back in a glorious campaign, quashing the Nubians' silly little revolts before blazing through Syria in all my glory. All in the name of Ra. I began my glorious quest into Syria soon after
It was here that I, in great glorious fashion won the Battle of Kadesh with my many thousands of chariots. Great legions arrived in warships before the battle to contest with my grand army, but my army and I routed them and proceeded onwards into battle. I crossed mountains under the eye of Ra and met the army. Due to my blundering simpletons, I ended up surrounded with only my guards left. I called upon the power of Ra to vanquish my enemies, and with the power of the sun god, I emerged victorious, despite what historians say about a "Pyrrhic" victory.
I returned home after crushing the Hittites in Syria, a noble hero before brokering peace with their insignificant little King. The Babylonians, as adorable as they were tried to fracture the peace with their friends, the Assyrians, but I emerged victorious once again, keeping the peace.
I decided that Canaan and my borders were safe enough to cease my campaigns in their insignificant land, and I grew content enough to ride across Nubian and Libya, fighting with my sons alone against the Nubians, while taking control of Libya during my campaign there. I was beginning to grow older and older, but ever stronger.
However, I was not a god yet, and despite my glorious rule, my body, in it's 91st year started to fail me. I had made Egypt rich, but my lack of dental health and my arthritis eventually claimed my life. I was of course buried in the most glorious of tombs in the Valley of the Kings, but now I have returned. And all shall know the glory of Rameses the Great!
MY GOALS[/color]: To reclaim his rightful place as pharaoh of all Egypt and show the foolish Kings in this war what a real King is!
Khopesh - Faithful Blade of the King.
NOBLE PHANTASM[/color]: //
Khopesh - Rending Wrath of Anubis
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1
Max Targets: 1
Rameses' sickle-sword carried with him throughout his life, particularly at the Battle of Kadesh when left to fight the Hittites. Though just a simple sword, Rameses skill with it makes him a match for amateur swordsmen, though he prefers the use of his chariot.
Orontes - Ra's Supreme Judgment
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 2-50
Max Targets: 50
Rameses' chariot that he rode to victory in the battle of Kadesh. Pulled by two armored horses, it features two bowmen on either side. These bowmen are summoned as familiars with an E-rank equivalent of Independent Action, and cannot dismount from the chariot. As Rameses called upon the power of Ra to grant him victory in the battle, it was said he, in his chariot was like a beacon of light as Seth was in his monument. His chariot rides with the power of the sun, scorching those it tramples with Ra's judgement.
Legions of Kadesh - Baal's Thundering Fury
Rank: A~A+
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1-99
Max Targets: 5000
Rameses proved his worth as a King, and a commander at the Battle of Kadesh, the largest battle fought with chariots in history. Rameses established himself as a bold chariot-rider, thundering into battle with the power of Baal under the hooves of his horses.
This Noble Phantasm is a form of High Thaumaturgy similar, but not strictly related to a Reality Marble. Rather it is a bounded field that replicates the current landscape and manifests several thousand chariots and riders, with Rameses at the head of this mounted army. The chariots and their own riders are not true heroic spirits, but familiars with only the will to attack the enemy. It cannot be used at it's full strength unless the blessing of Ra, (the sun) is visible in the sky.

CLASS ABILITIES[/color]: //
Riding: A
All creatures but those of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast-rank can be used as mounts. This rank is high enough to have aptitude for the Rider Class.
SKILLS[/color]: //
Charisma: A
Can be said to have achieved the greatest level of popularity as a human being. Rameses was considered the King of Kings, the Great Ancestor, and his exploits, both in military and art earned him recognition as the greatest pharaoh in history.
Divinity: C
Pharaohs of Egypt acted as intermediates between the Gods and mortals, and were offered divinity in the afterlife as Gods themselves. He was worshiped as a god in Nubia, long after his death.
Eye for Art: B
Rameses has a keen eye for creating fabulous works of art, and can deduce, with relative ease an artistically-made weapon's true nature.
Military Tactics: A
Reclaiming the lost territories of the Egyptian Empire, his numerous invasions of Syria, and his decisive battle at Kadesh show Rameses' true prowess as a military leader.
