Welcome to the Nagadan Galaxy — a sprawl of stars and sacred solar cities where technology is indiscernible from divinity. The heart of the Khemenuan Pantheon, Nagada is a realm of glittering celestial towers and cybernetic temples to ageless gods, where all the corners of the galactic map have been filled in for generations. Recently shaken by civil war, the triumphant Ra now rules, but not all remain loyal — secret Osiran sympathizers walk among them, hiding knowledge from the new order. Every Mystic must choose: serve the light of Ra as a Dreamwalker… or secure the legacy of Osiris.

Khemenua Appearance
Nagada’s aesthetic is a Solarpunk reinterpretation of Ancient Egypt — radiant golds, sharp geometrics, sacred symbology, and clean, futuristic silhouettes. Across its many worlds, Nagadan fashion reflects both religious devotion and technological prestige.
- Clothing: Think long flowing layers in gold, black, ivory, pastel neons, or solar tones (amber, bronze, blue). Layered tunics or sleeveless robes feature structured shoulders and architectural draping, and blending traditional silhouettes with modern textiles. Wide belts, cross-body sashes, and multi-tiered skirts create elegant lines for both the temple and the runway. Garments might include panels of translucent mesh, shimmer-thread embroidery, or “solar tech” fabric — materials that are shiny, mimic sun patterns, or glow faintly in the dark. High collars etched with hieroglyphs, or transparent shoulder capes embedded with LEDs.
- Feminine Garments: Sheath dresses with or without shoulder straps; sometimes worn under sheer outer robes. On the more science fiction side you might go with miniskirts, structured bodices, capes, go-go boots, or elbow length gloves.
- Masculine Garments: Knee-length kilts, often pleated, with wide belts or sashes. fitted turtlenecks, jumpsuits, utility jackets, mod suits, and sleeveless tech-vests.
- Priests/Nobility: Elaborate collars, decorated sashes, mandarin collars, and embroidered wraps.
- Headwear: Nemes headcloths, diadems, helmets, visors, goggles, and crown-like circlets.
- Makeup: Bold eyeliner, metallic accents, and face markings echoing hieroglyphics or circuitry. Makeup can be classically ancient egyptian.
- Accessories: Beaded collars, solar icons, or jewelry made of sunstone, lapis, or turquoise, communicator badges, data tablets, light-up accessories.
- Class distinction is expressed through animalistic features:
- Higher-class characters may have prosthetics (e.g., jackal heads, cat eyes, talons), or ornate body mods.
- Lower-class characters typically do not, but may have cosmetic indicators of aspiration or earned loyalty (e.g., a small tail, animalistic tattoo).
- Shifters — those who’ve inherited Ra’s new gift — can use more fluid, transformative, or primal looks, emphasizing their emerging divine connection. If playing a shifter, your loyalty to Ra is assumed at the beginning of the event. If your character uses modifications, they may be seen as out-of-touch with society, or at worst hiding a dangerous truth.
- You are part of a civilization ruled by gods. Your character may serve Ra, secretly support the ideals of the now-dead Osiris, or be caught in the shifting sands of power.
