Okay, Ive caught up! *breathes a sigh of relief* Let me just go and edit in a bio!

Username: Leona of the Zodiac
Name: Ibis
Name meaning (optional):
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Bio:
Personality: Level-headed to a fault, nothing can ruffle his feathers. He watched things around him, taking everything in. Always at ease, his mind, ever-working, he is a brilliant strategist and bears a wit like no other.
Appearance (pics are prefferred): None yet ><;
Special powers: Well, Ibis has trained his body as well as his mind. So, he does well hand to hand, or with a small dagger. However his true strengths lie in his brilliant mind, his strategies, and his way of dealing with most anyone. He is, as one could put it, a people person. However his past is unknown by anyone in the group, and noone is quite sure why such a fellow wished to be a member. But he makes a fine addition, especially since he can tell ya if the stars are right, and has a great memory for herbs and poisons.

((His patron god would be Thoth ;))

I see everyone is going with one charrie, so for now that shall work for me as well! *Grins* Hope that covers everything!

Tadinanefer Pheonix woke up to the intense sunlight of the Egyptian sun. Hot sand blew into the cracks of the house. She yawned and stretched her arms. She changed out of her sleeping gown. Then she got out of bed and washed herself. Then, when she was clean she went outside. A messanger walked up to her.

“Hello,� he said. She smiled and nodded at him. “Do you know where a Tadinanefer Pheonix lives.� She tried to not look surprised.

She shook her head, “I know her though and I’ll be sure to give her that.� She said indicating to a piece of parchment the boy had in his hand. The boy hesitated. “S-Sure.� He said handing it to her. Then he walked away.

Pheonix took the parchment and unrolled it as she walked towards her house. She read it. When she was done reading it she angrily crumbled up the piece of parchment and threw it across the room. She put two fingers in her mouth and let out a long low whistle four times. It was the signal that a meeting of The Assassins. No one but The Assassins knew what it meant.

((How about Fate's Pearl's character comes up with the plan since Fate's Pearl cam eup with it in the first place. How about everyone comes for a/the meeting and I say I want to kill King tut. Then Fate's Pearl tell ehr idea and we decide if we go with it or not.))

"Ah, I am pleased to inform you that the stars align well for your union," Ibis said, giving the couple before him a happy smile. "Indeed, it seems it has almost been fated that the two of you should be together forever. I wish you both the best, but I know the Gods already have that in mind for you." The young couple before him, their eyes wide, cheered and hugged one another. The male turned towards Ibis.

"Oh thank you Sir! Thank you so much!" Ibis shook his head.

"You have already compensated me well enough for this visit. Now then, you two go off and start a wonderful life together, alright?"

"Yes sir!" the man replied, and moments later the happy couple was gone. Ibis watched the door a moment and sighed deeply. It was a shame people were only grateful to him when the news was good. Now he was tactful if tehre was bad news but still, well, Ibis had more than a few confrontations to be sure. He was about to sit down and work upon his calculations, when he heard a far too familiar whistle. Nodding to himself he leaned against a wall. Two... three... four. No more, and that defined the call. Closing his quarters, he quickly pulled on a cloak and headed out.

The cloak was a mark he was going to the Assasin's Meeting really, since he never bore it otherwise. In that, it was sort of a sacred item. It was strange, because Ibis was held with high regard throughout the city. They had no idea that the one in the cloak was the very same man. It wasn't very long before he came to the meeting place.

"I am here Miss Phoenix," he replied with a slight bow, as he often did having a habit of being far too formal. He knew that the others would arrive shortly as well. Something important was about to happen... Ibis had already seen it coming from the stars. But what? What was so important the stars would deem it capable of changing the very world?

Pheonix turned to Ibis, "hello." she said, "Sit down while we wait for the otehrs." she said indicating to a pillow/cushion on the floor.

"Thank you Miss Phoenix," Ibis replied, once more nodding his head towards her before settling himself down upon a violet plush cushion. He had always fancied someday getting pillows like this for his own place, but for now he simply hadn't the time to go shop around for one. In his line of work many sought him after all.

Even his night job, this one, kept him quite busy. Made him glad that he took a small bit of time before bed each night top ensure his dagger was bone-cutting sharp. He knew better than to ask questions for now, knowing all questions would be answered shortly. Even though he was curious.

But the others would arrive shortly he supposed, relaxing back a slight, quiet as always. When he wasn't asking questions, he preferred to observe. One, after all, learned much in this fashion did they not? And as an assassin, one could never know too much.

Pheonix got bored so she decided to practice her skills with the dagger. She spotted a mosquito and pulled out her dagger. She turnedd around and held it at her shoulder. Then she whipped around and threw the dagger. It hit the mosquito with a prefect hit. She smiled and walked over to the wall. She pulled the dagger out of the stone.

"I'm here Phoenix" Emui said with a small bow, for Phoenix wasn't her equal, or so Emui thought it. "what's the news?" she asked curiously. "Hello to you to Ibis" she added quickly spotting him

"I'm just waiting for everyone else before I say." Pheonix said.

"that's okay with me" she sad in a soft voice as she took a seat on one of the cushions. She was getting curious about this but she was going to be patient

Neith walked through the door her hair circling around her. She had been entertaining some children by the river by juggling water when she heard the call. Her tan had darkened from the long morning in the sun and she had a feeling this was the only down time she was going to get. She saw everyone inside and gave a respectful bow. "Hello." She said softly walking over to a wall and leaning against it. "Its been a while no?" She asked Pheonix, it had been a while since they last talked she had missed a few meetings because of family trips to other towns around egypet. She moved her hair off her shoulders and staired around the room. "Hello Emuishere, Ibis, its a pleasure to be in your company as well. I'm sure this is of great importance." She said bowing her head lightly to each of them.

Pheonix nodded, "We're probably gonna be spending time with each otehr a lot more after this." she said. "Where's Tuskino?" she asked after scanning the room. "Shall we start without him and someone fill him in?" she asked.

"Hello Neith" Emui said returning the bow "Phoenix, I think it would be your choice, since you are the one sharing the news, but I must say I'm most curious about it"

"It looks like everyone can't wait to find out so I'll start." Pheonix said/decided." You all probably heard about my father?" she said looking around the room.

she nodded and looked down, ofcoarse they all knew of her father, who didn't? but she was careful around that subject

Pheonix nodded when she saw everyone nod, "Well.. King Tut," she said spitting out the pharoah's name. "has invited me to dinner asd an apology for my father's death. I have anoterh plan. A plan for him. An eternal plan." she said. She pulled out her dagger and ran hr finger against teh blade, "Death." she said dramatically. A hush fell over the room.

Neith sighed. "Always one for the dramatics." She said softly. "No offince or anything but how do you plan on going on with this assasination?" She asked softly. "The guards are all well trained, there are so well trained in fact that they can jump nearly five feet in the air. Gain enough momentum to nearly defy gravity and are always hearing and watching everything going on. We would need to keep the gaurds distracted while we commit this crime. Not to mention well need everyone to take out all the gaurds there can't be a witness." She added with a sigh.

Pheonix nodded at Neith, "That's why I've called you guys here. I need you to help me. Any ideas?" she asked.

Neith thought for a moment. "I have one but I'll let everyone else go first."

Ibis had greeted each of his fellow assassins with a nod, and a polite wave. As courteous as he was, he really didn't seem to get close to anyone much. It was a mystery to be certain, but one he was never called upon. Which was just fine by him.

He had been cleaning his dagger to pass the time, until at last Phoenix spoke up. Ibis listened at full attention then, pocketing his dagger.

"I see..." he finally said, nodding to himself. "This must be what I saw in the stars. That our group would change history itself..." He had never mentioned seeing this before either, but then Ibis really never told much unless it was asked of him.

He pondered the different routes they might take, the different people that would stand in their way, and their own abilities. "It can be done..." he finally said. "Mathematically improbable, but it certainly can be done. "The question is not how, but rather which route would be the best to take." For they had many routes, many of which could end in death. "I know of a way to throw off the guards however..." he mused. "That may be a start.." He looked to the others, curious as to what they might come up with. Such differing backgrounds, he knew that this was certainly the group that could disrupt history.

Neith smiled. "What about we surprise them all? With everyone's abilities we'll be able to get to the castle, Pheonix could distract the king, one of us could dress up like an entertainer so you'd have to be able to please the eyes of everyone in there. Another would need to be able to roam around the castle unseen, the others will hide in the shadows and when Pheonix goes to kill him we'll all surprise the gaurds and kill them. We can't leave any witnesses."

"Surprising the guards though might prove to be a challenge..." Ibis replied, pondering over Neith's plan in his mind. "Going unseen and hiding will not, those are after all, an assassin's greatest skills.

"I believe, as well, it might help us if we know how the daily activities of the court proceed. That would mean we would need someone to scout, find out if tehre are any routines, habits people fall into, especially the King. Even knowing the guards routine might prove a great service to us. This way we can go in fully prepared." Ibis, after all, had always been one to feel one could never have enough information. The more they had, the better the odds would become.

"The one disguesing as the entertainer could go unseen and by the time dinner comes around her their face would be trusted a little by then." Neith offered with a grin. "Its a good idea." She said softly sitting down with a nod.
