Set, texting Horus: Turn around!
Horus: *turns around looking for Set*
Set: In the other direction!
Horus: *turns around again*
Set: No! Turn around again!
Horus, texting back: Dude where are you?! I don't see you!
Set: I'm out of town. But the thought of you aimlessly turning around in circles amused me.

We have a new citizen in Mount Phoenix:
                                                Set, the God of Chaos,                                             whose origins stem from Ancient Egypt.                           He is now a psychiatric clinician at Asclepius General Hospital                                               and a professor at Phoenix University.
FC NAME/GROUP: Haruma Miura (Actor/Brash Brats) GOD NAME: Set ALIAS (FOR SILLY HUMANS): Dr. S.Setti MD, Psy.D PANTHEON: Egyptian OCCUPATION:   –Psychiatric Clinician, Asclepius General Hospital, Trauma and Healthcare Centre –Adjunct Associate Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Medicine, Phoenix University –Prolific Serial Killer HEIGHT: 184 cm WEIGHT: 67kg DEFINING FEATURES: Set’s irises are black. Not brown, not burnt toast–not a curious dark chocolate, nor rich deep tan. Black–onyx black, coal chip dropped in soot eyes. Eyes that are blacker than the most starless night or darkest deep ocean waters. As black as if a void in the cosmos had opened up where his pupils should have been and swallowed away all the color and light everywhere and from anything before them like a black hole swallowing planets. They are generally deeply unsettling to humans and gods alike with their cold emotionless flat darkness, so Set has taken to always wearing professional glasses or shaded eye wear to distract, conceal and reflect back the shine of a pleasant benevolence that his own true sight lacks. [x] [x] PERSONALITY: Set by his very nature possesses a very convoluted and impenetrable personality. If Set were not a God himself, one would probably see him as a letter perfect highly functional sociopathic psychopath. However, Set is not nor has he ever been something so pathetically mundane as “human” so he would very much find such a timidly narrow view of his finite pursuits, pleasures and pastimes to be malign slander if not a downright insult for which one deserved to be gutted for. Set does not feel a G-O-D requires rationalization (nor compassion or kindness–and perhaps a boat load of other adjectives he is scarily devoid of). In a nutshell the god of chaos, disorder and violence, does not reason or rationalize his own behavior, rather, he relishes the pure unfiltered darkness of it all. His schemes in general are elaborate theater shows of creative mental tortures and always very well planned for maximum devastating effect. There is no doubt that Set can cloak himself in charm, he’ll seem genuinely thoughtful and kind to those that…can “amuse” him for a time. However, Set is incredibly manipulative–he can pull others strings very effectively, wear all the perfect masks of one who is truly caring. He knows how to get to people, how to appear impeccably cultured, appreciative, and sophisticated. All the while turning them inside out to achieve the most disastrous results. He takes joy in toying with others, all for the mirth of watching them twist on their own puppet strings. His sheer remorselessness is without a doubt frightening, and he’ll always deliberately play others to his own advantage. HISTORY: Set is the ancient Egyptian god of the desert, storms, darkness and Chaos. Indeed, in ancient Egyptian culture his very name means to be a “destroyer” or “the  instigator of confusion”. He is one of the first five gods created by the union of Geb and Nut. He did not begin this way. Set was originally an important and friendly god of Upper Egypt whose name was invoked for love spells and inscribed on amulets which served as love charms–unfortunately Set all too soon fell prey to his own desires. Forbidden wants twisted his heart and mind, driving the god to seek out and steal younger sister Nepthys (whom he took to wife). Finding he enjoyed doing things his own way for once, Set challenged his eldest brother Osiris at every turn. It was the most classic case of Middle child syndrome ever.
Osiris bestowed on humans gifts of compassion and equality for all. The world was a paradise where everyone, man and woman, was equal under the reign of the oldest brother, food was abundant, and no one suffered any want. Set grew jealous of Osiris’ power, adoration and resented his success. His resentment grew even more bitter after his wife Nephthys, attracted by Osiris’ beauty, goodness and kind hands, disguised herself and seduced the great king, becoming pregnant with the god Anubis.
In a furious cuckolded rage at Nephthys with her unapologetic adultery, Set decided to remove his brother once and for all. A magnificent casket was created at his order, the most beautiful chest ever made, tailored to Osiris’ exact measurements. He then threw a grand party, to which Osiris was invited, and after the banquet told the guests he had a special surprise. He revealed the chest and said that whoever could fit most perfectly inside could take it home. One by one the guests climbed into the casket but could not fit until Osiris’ turn came. He lay down in the casket and found, of course, that it fit him perfectly. Set immediately in a bloody violent rage, hacked his brother into pieces where he lay, then slammed the lid and threw the casket into the Nile River.
Back in Egypt, Set took the throne, and the harmonious balance which had been maintained by Osiris was completely lost. Set was a chaotic and unpredictable monarch who brought storms and drought and the humans turned on each other in their efforts to survive while Set watched with glee. After all he had never really cared for “humanity” anyway.
It was finally, Horus, son of Osiris who battled his uncle Set and took control once more of the world. He did however spare his uncle’s life because of an appreciation of balance and harmony. The concept of Ma'at (harmony) is integral to Egyptian values–and there can be no Ma'at without Isfet (chaos) too. Set grudgingly accepted his diminished role, but refused to live among the other Gods in the heavens any longer. Instead he moved among the humans seamlessly, intent of cause as much harm as he could to Osiris most favorite of all the universe’s creations. Humans took all too well to the negative aspects and chaos Set brings to their existence and were unknowingly much more a source of continuous entertainment as his pawns and living punching bags.
Time passes though and Set heard whispers of a place that sounds even more intriguing. Mount Phoenix, where the blood of immortals have given life to a new breed of human, ones who might be even better stock for his games. Set is fascinated by the delightful possibilities such a foolish place will present, and more importantly…
He wants to find his own rotten little apples in the barrel of mortality.
POWERS: While Set still does quite enjoy bringing about chaos the good old fashion way (that is with plenty vicious unnecessary violence, liberal blood shed, brutal mutilations and theatrical deaths), he has adapted his mind with time to do the more “messy” work of indirectly subjecting others to his little fun games of havoc far more discreetly. Set is Isfet embodied, thriving in unraveling order, causing destruction and anarchy to reign while he stands tall in the ashes. Isfet or Asfet (meaning"chaos", “violence”, and “to do evil") is the Egyptian counterpart of Ma'at (meaning “order” or “harmony”). Set is able to embody chaos itself and turn it outward as the power of Negikinesis or the ability to manipulate all forms of physical, mental and spiritual negativity as he desires with:
Manipulative Charisma (Set possesses immense extreme charm and ‘magnetic’ quality that transcends mortal limitations, allowing him to sway virtually anyone as well as entire communities to his dark ideas, cause and service with barely any effort.)
Negative Touch (Set cause weakening negative effects on others by touching them.)
Hatred Compulsion (Set can compel hate and/or self-hatred in others with suggestions, causing the target to hate anything/everything about themselves, someone else, even everyone around them. This will cause the victim to be hated themselves, and be more willing to kill those they hate.)
Malevorous (Set feeds on the chaotic darkness of people’s minds, gaining boosts to stamina, strength, durability, and speed, depending on the level of evil and malevolence. This power automatically scans for the worst malicious intent to feed off of when facing multiple victims. Victims need not have actual powers; a sociopathic serial killer is just as useful as a mentally wretched victim.)
Violent Aura (At will, Set can generate an aura of violence that amplifies/induces aggression on beings inside the aura and gains strength from those emotions.)
Weakness Corruption (Set can make others immorally flawed by psychically kindling the targets’ minds so that they succumb to the urges of enhancing/magnifying their own debasing sin and/or humiliating vices.)
Mind Destruction (Set can with a simple negative thought cause madness in a person or group of people that have no mental illness, depending on what he desires at the time, his victims may go slightly loopy or lose total grip of reality becoming delusional, lose control over themselves, take to paranoid, catatonic or hostile behavior.)
STRENGTHS:
Even not using his god-like abilities Set is a formidable clinical hypnotist. He can lull the mortal subconscious just with the sound of his voice and gentle suggestions. 
Has been among humanity the longest of the Egyptian Parthenon, and is very adept at moving among humans–or “seeming” as human himself.
He is also an expert in psychology (though he does not believe it to be a science, but more of a game he holds all the wins for.).
Naturally aggressive/volatile primordial beings are even more susceptible to Set’s chaotic influence than “good” calmer ones. Humans and halflings don’t stand a chance.
To all but those of the Egyptian Parthenon (who still remember that Set encased his own brother in a coffin, hacked him to bits after a huge dinner party and also kidnapped his own baby sister to make her his lover), Set comes across as a polite refined gentleman doctor with extensive knowledge about the arts, tea and horticulture.
WEAKNESSES:
Extended suppression of Set’s smaller dark malicious urges usually results in a mental/emotional/psychological meltdown of the killing spree kind. Him being a little bit evil here and there is much better than him in full on ax murdering serial killer mode which he does quite gladly descended into (and easily) without some form of small scale meddlesome entertainment.
Set cannot sway those with true undying loyalty or love towards another with his negative powers. Set also is not able to sway the pure love, loyalty or affection of animals.
Set cannot create a beings flaws out of thin air, only enhance existing ones being repressed or inherent already. 
Beings who are child-like with no sense or knowledge of the concepts of chaos, wrongdoing and evil literally are his worst weakness. Set finds their “purity” in particular to be extremely offensive to his senses (they are like “noise” or radio interference to everything he is). You will never find Set going too close to beings like that nor be willing to hold or converse with small children for this very reason.
Is highly susceptible powers of his own birth siblings and their offspring: Osiris, Isis, Nephthys, and Haroeris.
Circumstances of poor taste, breeding or manners, tend to make Set TRUE colors show though. He fights very hard against letting out the madden force of chaotic rage that is his true “colors”. However those who exhibit poor taste or bad manners, usually get to see the god as he truly unpleasantly is.
