Anubis
Lord of the Grave
The Gravewalker
Anubis, The former ruler of the Duat and Aaru, Now the current ruler of the Duat exclusively, Is one of the many gods of the Stre' Kartaa pantheon. As with most Kartaa deities, Anubis takes the form of a humanoid animal, With his being that of a black Jackal.
When the afterlives were first created, Anubis ruled the Stre' Kaas hell and heavenly plane. After Set murdered Osiris, Anubis used much of his power to resurrect him, Causing him to come back as a zombified deity. After this event, Osiris had taken the role of ruling the Field of Reeds, While Anubis was relegated to presiding over the Duat only, Much to the dismay of Anubis himself. He now seeks to do his job as best as he can, Forever attempting to be content with his work, He sometimes wishes that he could get to do something else for a change.
Now he sits inside the Duat, Waiting for souls to judge. He's been down there so long in fact, That the majority of people, Even people from Stre' Kaas, Don't know much about the current version of him, Still going off of ancient texts.
Divine Domains
Grave, Justice, Dark and Fate.
Artifacts

Physical Description
General Physical Condition
He has a fairly muscular body, But it's more of a cut figure than a large one, Still being relatively skinny. He's fast and agile, and strong enough to pull off certain difficult workouts consistantly.
Body Features
While his body doesn't really have too many unique features, I will say that his claws are very prominent, Being extremely sharp and well kempt.
Facial Features
Normally Anubis doesn't have many unique facial features except for an ex shaped scar on the left side of his nose. However, When he wakes up everyday, He does apply gold colored makeup to draw an Eye of Horus on his left eye.
Physical quirks
There are a few. For starters, Anubis will normally scratch the right side of his neck when embarrassed. Whenever he's really anxious about something, He'll wring his wrists. And when he's excited, His ears will stand upright.
Special abilities
Anubis has access to many abilities, So many specialized powers that it would take to much space to list here, So I will generalize instead.
Manipulation of the Duat. This ability may sound simple, But it allows Anubis to influence the entire realm at will, Sometimes being able to summon it on the surface as well, Increasing it's utility.
Control over the Mortal Soul. This ability allows Anubis to influence the souls of mortals in almost any way. And while it does have slight limitations, He'll usually never use it to it's full extent anyway, Only using it for his work.
Once again, There are more, But they're just variations or specialized abilities originating from these two.
Apparel & Accessories
Anubis will usually wear multiple gold accessories, Such as piercings, necklaces and a set of gold bracers. He'll usually be wearing traditional and ancient Kartaa attire, Combined with a few shawls layered over his body.
Mental characteristics
Accomplishments & Achievements
Creating the Duat and Resurrecting Osiris. These feats are his most treasured accomplishments, Not including any personal ones that he likes to keep secret.
Failures & Embarrassments
While there aren't any specific instances, He still feels guilty about anybody that was sent to be destroyed in the Duat unjustly. And when he tries, He can still remember most of them.
Mental Trauma
He often has a lot of pent up resentment for his fellow gods, Leaving him as the one forced to judge every soul. And due to his position, He has a lot of guilt and self-hate that has built up over the centuries. He tries to push it down, Hide it from others to avoid being seen as lesser. He tells himself, "Gods aren't supposed to feel pain". But he knows that isn't true, deep in his heart.
Intellectual Characteristics
Anubis is often cited as being Humble, Kind and forgiving, Especially to the dead.
Morality & Philosophy
Every being must be judged fairly. No matter what factors a person may possess, They are fundimentally a soul, A soul that can be great or terrible. But there are some that still house good in their soul, And Anubis just cannot allow someone to be judged wrong or unfairly.
Taboos
Bias and Favoritism. Such things are by nature extremely unfair, Which makes them despised by Anubis.
