Your timezone and posting habits.
USA West coast. GMT-8. I check in several times thorugh the day including before work, during lunch, immediately after work, and before I go to bed. I can post multiple times throughout the day with exactly how many depending on how busy work is. Definitely twice per day minimum if the rate calls for it.
What has your character accomplished in his/her life? Greatest achievement?
Sethos' greatest professional accomplishment is the modification to the basic firebomb technique learned from his aunt Ziza, which has a higher percentage of corrosive elements in it in order to fight off the undead and constructs which often guard tombs and crypts. This information has gotten out after his foray into the Necropolis and he plans on turning this modification into a monopoly... once he figures out how to ensure he can pass the knowledge on, or create bombs which do not go inert outside of his possession.
Sethos' greatest personal achievement is that he is fluent in eleven languages currently and in one particular excursion with Ziza, was able to use every single one of them.
Sethos' single greatest personal goal is to gain not only recognition from the ruling pharaoh as a master alchemist, but to eventually stand as the pharaoh's preeminent field expert in archaology and tomb exploration.
Why is he/she in Wati - what is your connection to the city? Native or foreigner?
The Sabah Nur family is native to Wati. They were elevated to nobility before the return of the pharoahs and currently own and run an alchemical regent and potion supply business.
The Campaign starts as you are invited to attend an auction of Osirion relics recently recovered from a tomb-raiding expedition in the Necropolis. Why is your character at the auction?
Sethos and his brother were part of competing expeditions into the Necropolis. As they share ownership and responsibility of their family's merchant business, both are attending the auction to get a feel for which other families and businesses are hunting for certain types of items.
Give me a feel for your character's physical appearance and personality.
Sethos is a fairly level-headed businessman, but a surprisingly brash, even potentially overbearing person otherwise. He has not felt the effect of cognatogens on his mind or mutagens on his body, and instead has focused on and tinkered with his bombs to maximize their effectiveness. He has had a fairly easy life in many respects and is not as jaded or quite as cautious as he should be. That being said, he has a very barbed sense of humor, often to the point of seeming malicious, and next to no filter due to his upbringing putting him above, or at least on par, with most people he would encounter.
For physical characteristics, see Artastrophe's Archmage on deviantart. Most gear has not yet been purchased. I'll get to that if I am picked for the story.
