Sobek

The crocodile, Sobek, is a fierce protector. He, along with Bast, represent the animalistic warriors of the Netjer. Where Bast serves as a personal guardian for Re and others who request her services, Sobek is a monster, albeit one who protects the common people. The great son of Neith and Set was placed in charge of the Nile River to protect people from the dangers it presented. The river’s fertile soils infected Sobek, however, leading him to spend a great deal of time impregnating and propagating crocodiles in the Nile.

When the Netjer called him back, he had nearly lost himself, growing increasingly aggressive towards people. He’s a shameless, wild, destructive beast, but one with a protective nature that wins out in the end. Sobek always extends his protection over children, regardless of who they are. He guards the deep waters of his home, the mysterious place where Re and Wesir fuse every night. He guards the World by fishing the fish of chaos, spawn of Apep, out of the Underworld river to devour them. He guards Heru, catching and returning the young God's cut-off hands. He continues to grant fertility blessings to those who ask, in the hopes that his effect on their children will make them better people than their father.

Today, Sobek rarely spends any time as anything other than a crocodile. If he does spend time as a man, he is a large black man with thick, muscular arms and legs. He sometimes spends time in orphanages caring for children without parents, or as a district attorney taking on the cases of abused and battered children.

Sobek has a larger percentage of Scions than any other God in the Netjer due to his promiscuous ways. His Scions gain all his aspects of viciousness and passion, leading them to one side or the other of criminal activity or law-enforcement roles. In turn, they gain the benefit of a father who is deeply invested, who takes great care in providing for his own children.
