Character Synopsis[]
Anubis, also known under names such as Inpu, Inpw, Jnpw, and Anpu, is the Egyptian God of Cemeteries & Mummification. He is the son of Nephthys and Osiris (although some stories portray him as the son of Set), with Anubis being abandoned in the wilderness until discovered by Isis with the help of jackals. She would raise Anubis and in turn, he would become very protective of her and Osiris, even helping her find all the pieces of Osiris. After having found all the pieces, it's here where Anubis invented the art of embalming and mummification so that his father could live again and reign in the world of the dead.

Neferkaptah, after having gained the powers of the gods, was unable to harm Ra or Thoth due to inferior levels of Heka, implying that one must have comparable levels to even harm another god or goddess in Egyptian Mythology)
Destructive Ability: Multi-Universe Level (Anubis is capable of fighting against Set in various confrontations, with one fight leading to the subdue of Set and the branding of his skin, of which Anubis flayed off. This would mean that Anubis is superior to Apep, whom of which Set is capable of stopping consistently every time he attacks Ra during his journey to Osiris)
Speed: Infinite (Capable of keeping up with Set, whom of which is capable of intercepting attacks from Apep and Horus, whom of which are treated as being in the same league as Ra). Nigh-Omnipresent in non-physical state (Egyptian Gods in their true forms are nothing more than natural phenomena that influence the world and shape the influences of The Egyptians, with Anubis being the embodiment of cemeteries and the process of mummification)
Lifting Ability: Infinite (Anubis is capable of subduing Set, who can physically push back Apep, who is capable of physically consuming Ra and preventing him from escaping; Ra is comparable to his children, such as Shu, who was tasked with keeping Nut and Geb apart for "eternity" by pushing back Nut from ever making contact with Geb, with Nut being the infinite cosmos that encompasses the universe)
Striking Ability: Multi-Universal (Subdued Set and branded his skin, eventually flaying his skin off entirely and wearing it as a disguise, also making Anubis physically superior to the likes of Apep, who can return all of the Egyptian Cosmogony back into the undifferentiated, endless void that it was prior to Ra's light, including destroying the infinite sized living universe and two other separate infinitely sized space-time continuums, such as The Duat and The A'aru)
Durability: Multi-Universe Level (Capable of tanking attacks from the likes of Set, whom of which can harm the likes of Apep despite his ability to return all of the Egyptian Cosmogony back into the undifferentiated, endless void)
Stamina: Limitless (Egyptian Gods didn't need to rest, eat and sleep in the same way that mortals did)
Range: Extended Melee Range normally, up to Multi-Universal with Heka Manipulation (Users of Heka are capable of effecting it on the scale of the entire cosmogony, as Heka exists as a force that pervades all aspects of creation, underpinning even realms such as The Duat and The A'aru as the fundamental element that holds all things together and balances reality perfectly)
Intelligence: Very High (Anubis oversaw all passing souls, deciding their worth of entering the afterlife and also being able to witness all that occurs within The Underworld's confines. Anubis is portrayed as comparable to, if not superior than Set when it comes to physical combat, the same god who lead countless wars over the course of The Egyptian Empire's reign)

Extra Info[]
Note 1: This page is strictly talking about Egyptian Mythology Ra, as he is in the original myths and thus this page will not be accounting for things such as the other interpretations of classical Egyptian Mythology that came after the fact. Despite this, this page is also treated various Egyptian Myths as a "singular" canon that all connect to one another, even if they were initially isolated tales that weren't meant to have any true continuity between each other
Note 2: As mentioned before, Egyptian Mythology was never meant to be seen as a canon in the way we understand it today, with the stories all having consistent elements between one another but fundamentally being just isolated tales. So for this reason, contradictions and conflicts will be ignored in favor of what is most consistently agreed upon within the myths and by The Egyptians at the time
Note 3: Egyptian Mythology and it's cosmology is largely influenced by The Egyptians at the time and the whole point of Mythology to begin with is to describe the world around you, meaning that beliefs that were common at the time for The Egyptians can be applied to Egyptian Mythology on the basis that those beliefs would have bled into the Mythology and been reflective of what was thought to be true at the time
Note 4: Egyptian Mythology and many of it's stories are derived from visual storytelling and as such, it doesn't have many stories that one can read up on it as opposed to just information that stem from what has been discovered about The Egyptians and what is agreed upon by scholars on the topic to be what their general beliefs were in terms of cosmology and about the gods they worshipped
