Bubasti

Bastet

[[]]

Bubasti, also known as Shadowcats, are the werecats of Egypt.

Overview

The mystics of catkind, the are a shy and secretive race. They are, however, among the most social of the Bastet, and they tend to work closely with one another in most of their endeavors. The Bubasti were cursed long ago by the ancient vampire deity Set, and as a result their lives are forever tied to the soils of Khem, their ancestral home. It is said that if all of the Bubasti of a given generation leave Egypt, that generation will be the last. None know the truth of this rumor, but none care to test it, either.

Like all Bastet, the Bubasti are bound by a Yava. These secrets are so deeply guarded that even the Tekhmet don't know them. The passing of the Yava occurs at the second rank for Bubasti, and involves blood oaths before the kheper.

   When all imortals of the tribe are slain, the tribe itself will die with them.
   The Black Soil of Khem is forever tied to the tribe; if all Bubasti in a generation flee the land, they will be the last of their kind.
   Bubasti are always hungry. Though no amount of food or drink will ease their craving, they will always eat what's put before them.
