Mental characteristics
Personal history
Son of the late Amenophis III, Shadotep I is one of the greatest mysteries of Amospia. Despite being fully human (except for his mechanical parts) he has been Pharaoh of Idgypt for almost 500 years, without appearing to have aged a day. Very few know why this is, though it is believed to be related to his mechanical components. While his popularity has varied over the centuries, he is widely considered to be a fair and successful ruler, largely in part to his commitment to rebuilding Idgypt from the ashes of the Collapse.
Gender Identity
Cis-gendered Male
Sexuality
Heterosexual (though some believe him to be asexual, due to him never taking a queen or concubines)
Education
He is one of the most well-educated people in Idgypt. Not only did he have access to the best teachers and archives throughout his life, but his extended lifespan has allowed him to learn much more than the average human has time to. However, most of this has been to better serve him as the Pharaoh of Idgypt, and he would definitely not consider himself a scholar in any sense.
Employment
He is the Pharaoh of Idgypt and ruler of the Idgyptian Empire. As such, he is also the head of the Idgyptian temple complex, the head of the Idgyptian military, and the primary judge of the Idgyptian judicial system.

Mental Trauma
In 1018 CE, he mysteriously disappeared during a walk in the deserts around Memphis. He would not return until 1024, having the upper-right side of his body replaced with mechanical components. It is unknown what happened in the 6 years of his disappearance, though it is believed that he suffered some sort of trauma during this time.
Morality & Philosophy
He is generally considered to be a moral and just ruler, looking after the well-being of his people and acceptance of demihumans. He is not without his moral hangups however, with the use of prisoners as forced labor being a prime example.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
For nearly five centuries, his primary motivation has been to return Idgypt to it's former glory. While he has accomplished, or even surpassed this goal, he still feels that he has work to do.
Personality Quirks
Throughout his entire reign, he has never taken a queen or any concubines. This was primarily a concern during the early decades of his reign, as many nobles tried and failed to marry their daughters off to him. However, as he far-exceeded the normal human lifespan the nobles tried less and less, and eventually gave up altogether. It is unknown why Shadotep does this, with theories ranging from him wanting to find "true love", to not wanting familial competition for the throne, to him even being completely asexual.
Hygiene
Well-groomed, as per royal standards. His hair is kept short and his body is completely shaved, a common Idgyptian practice to prevent lice.
Social
Family Ties
He is the only son of Amenophis III and Queen Hypatia, and is currently the only surviving member of the 49th dynasty. While he has a cousin named Elizabeth, though she left Idgypt shortly after Shadotep was crowned pharaoh. The location of any possible descendants of hers is unknown.
Religious Views
As the Pharaoh of Idgypt, he is also the head of the Idgyptian temple complex, serving as a link between the gods and the people.

Romae Ubique Dedit Manum
29th of May, 1492 CE
Early this morning I received a message directly from the Palace of Augustus. Apparently Emperor Vorenus, facing the reality of the situation, abdicated the throne and passed it on to his heir, Theophania. She, now Empress, sub-sequentially surrendered to our forces as we had initially agreed.
While this may not be the victory many of my men wanted, I am glad it turned out this way. The push towards the Palace, as well as the assault, would have been extremely costly. Plus with an ally on the throne we can help dictate more favorable terms for the peace treaty.
I'm sure not many will be happy about this. Many of my fellow Idgyptians wanted to see Rome wiped off the map (or at least annexed), and the Romans will see their surrender as dishonorable. Never the less, I believe the future cooperation between our nations will beneficial in the long run.
Invasion Fleet Launched
8th of January, 1492 CE
Today I oversaw the launching of the Grand Idgyptian Armada from Elizandria. I feel a sense of pride in those men, heading into unknown territory to take the fight to the Romans. While I wish I could be there with them, I know that it is too dangerous and that I must wait for a beachhead to be established before I can join them.
