Old description:
It's YA BOOOOIIIII.
I LOVE this stubborn sha with all of my heart. Set is my favorite of the deities -- who is surprised??
Set didn't get much of a design change or clothing change; instead, I really wanted to focus on getting his body type right. Set might be taller than a good number of deities, but he's supposed to be fairly stocky -- his whole thing is that he's very strong and muscular; "the greatest in virility" and all that.
For Set, he doesn't really wear his "full regalia" all too often. I wasn't really even going to bother giving him much, but then I remembered... He is specifically mentioned to be "in the guise of Horus" when he aids Ra on the sun barge, so... Why not play off of that? Defending the sun barge is dangerous work, and being so close to the literal sun would probably fry anyone to a crisp. My idea is that Set has a cloak covered in Ra's feathers to protect him from the sun, and that he wears bronze armor underneath to give him a little more edge against the serpent; thus, his cloak is interpreted by mortals to be resemble to Horus, even if the feathers actually come from Ra instead of the falcon. Voila! His idea of "full regalia" isn't getting all fancy, it's wearing battle armor!
I could gush about this guy's personality and character traits for hours, but I'll spare you the details. He's very important in TCotC, so keep him in mind~
