Egyptian Danny Phantom

Haha! I finnally got it!!

Okay, this is my entry for Slifertheskydragon's DP contest. This pic falls into the past category I think. I know that human Danny is really dark, but he's and Egyptian!

Backstory: (Ancient Egypt)
Danny is an orphaned teen who works as a scribe and errand boy in one of Osiris's many temples. The dog, called Tahirah (which means Pristine) by Danny, is one the teen's only companion as he tends to srtay away from human social life. Though his personality is pretty bright and optimistic. It has to be for the 'task' that has been comissioned to him by the God of the Dead, Osiris. Seeing as Osiris was busy dealing with the better half of death, he made a deal with the isolated Danny. Granting him a secured spot in the afterlife in return for a 'service' during his life. (It's not like he could have said no to the god of death.)

This 'service' included capturing and exorcising the evil spirits and ghosts of people who didnt make it/couldnt make it to the afterlife.

Thankfully, he was given a little bit of help from Osiris. Danny was able to turn into this 'alter ego'. His hair and skin changing into the frightening pale shade and strange cloths covering his body. He gained some abilities in addition to the appearance change. Being able to fly was a favorite of his and beign able to form almost anything out of this green energy that always surrounded him was very useful in battles. Under the armband on his left arm lies that 'Mark of Osiris' which keeps him safe from most of the other gods's minions and plots. The Mark also shows up in his 'ghost form' on the same arm. Tahirah seemed to be naturally attuned to the supernatural and was extremely talented at avoiding danger while being smack dab in the middle of a battle. Another item that was given to Danny was this scroll that had the ability to pull in and bind certain spirits, though most of them either had to be sent to the afterlife or exorcised.

He is sometimes called 'Moswen' (which means 'Light skin' by the people. He tries to stay hidden from the populace, knowing that they would probably think he is evil too and send a well-known Priest to get rid of him. He wasnt really afraid of dieing, but he'd like to survive in this world for a little bit longer.

He also happened to be one of the 'special' few who got to see the god's mischevious side. Danny often found himself heading goose chases on which the god would 'keep him company.' Sometimes it could be annoying, but he actually was glad for the almost human-like attitude the higher being portrayed during these moments.

Danny also noticed his uncanny nack for not dieing despite the horrible wounds he gains from his 'ghost' fighting. Of course, Osiris being the god of death held control over when Danny died, and he resignedly accepted the fact that he would probably be 'working' for Osiris for a long time. And things starts heating up when Seth, Osiris's eternal enemy, decides to raise a champion of his own...
