Accent (or other vocal quirks; who are they voiced by?):
There's fewer quirks than you'd think, but one of the few is the "I am amused at you and your pitiful attempts at life" drawl is already in place. Even with the tiny boy voice, which is not very Akiko Kimura/Tetsuya Iwanaga-like. I hear Motoko Kumai when imagining it. Namely because the unfitting is a new bonus level of creepy. 

Also, roughly 30% of what he says is bold. Because he's important and special that way! For it is canon. Really, check the manga.

Build (Fat, skinny, short, tall, muscular, etc):
He is of the tiny!marlick variety. This equates to a boy barely four feet (though like the pharaoh before/after him his hair adds a few inches), and he's skinny as a rake. You'd think lounging around most the day underground would pack some pounds.

Colors (Either their favorites, or ones they are otherwise associated with):
He's still running around in his tomb-keeper wear, so white would be the color on him. But he's got a certain preference for black and gold, and he'll put on a dark robe from time to time.

Diet (and any allergies or religious / personal restrictions):
He doesn't give much thought to food at all, so like in the tombs he'll just eat whatever's offered or most available. But he'll give not a moment's thought about the harm of inhaling any new dish that catches his interest as he wants.

Education:
He knows how to read hieratic Egyptian, not to mention speak the dialect of the times. But beyond that he bothered with only the most basic of information, and the only subjects he'll pay attention to are math and legends. Why's he need the rest when he can Rod the studying off Isam?

Family (Blood and otherwise):
Sayyid is particularly hateful towards his father, and if not for a mutual awareness of needing the other (his father needing his heir, Sayyid not wanting to take the carving and leadership even sooner) things would be even more hostile than they are. That, and his mother acts as a buffer between them. Sayyid is rather dismissive of the protective, but manipulative woman, never listening to her for long or letting her interfere in his fights. Of course, with him, telling her to stay out of his way is pretty positive.

He's also the eldest of three, including Isam, his brother a year younger, and a three year old sister named Hana. Isam is his living punching bag, as he'll do anything short of permanently maiming or killing his brother, getting mountains of amusement out of how he can't retaliate much, as his heir status and their small family brood makes even his hostile father (much less his mother) paranoid of him dying. So Isam gets in trouble if he tries.

Hana is questionably the only one he likes in the family. He'll harass her too, telling her scary things or breaking her toys or using the Rod on her, testing his control of others by making the toddler do things like fetch him food or so on. But he has yet to lay a hand on this one - in no small part because Hana doesn't cry or talk much, thus he'll sometimes forget she's there. He'll also - shock of shocks - do "nice" stuff from time to time, like give her hallucinations of playing outside (at least his presumption of it), since what he likes is seeing her reactions, be it to bad or good things. His living entertainment.

There's no other close relatives around, to the point that the lack of close cousins has been a concern - if all three children died without descendants the direct Ishtar line would be gone. But most of the clan is distantly related in one manner or another. Either way, Sayyid doesn't notice any of them unless he needs one of them for a task or distraction.

Goods (Important things they own, or their overall material wealth):
There's very little that's personally his, though he likes to think of the Rod as his own. What wealth he has is wrapped up in the family as a whole.

Hobbies:
His life is made of the Pastimes of the Minute - though grant it they were limited in the tombs. He's pretty good with a ball and a Rod though from all that. Especially the later - he loved working through other people's heads with the Rod and messing with them in a very unique sense. He also likes hearing his mother tell or personally reading legends of the gods and the past pharaohs and their wars and battles - and then watching Hana cry when he reads the detailed punishments of enemies and traitors out loud.

Ignorance (Things they are particularly ignorant of or bad at doing):
The outside world, be it his time or the DR. Or anything outside of the tombs. And while he might take to something he's forced to notice and finds he likes, he's not going to work to rectify that ignorance. Also, subtlety is not his forte.

Job (Past, current, future):
He's the firstborn son of the current Ishtar family - his career is pretty set. And save for the chancing death ritual, he'd be fine with that. He won't have much choice in the matter, though.

Knowledge (What they've learned or taught themselves outside of a formal education):
He picks up a lot from combing through people's heads. This helped him master a lot of secrets and ways to survive tomb-life he'd otherwise miss, getting waited on all the time. He's also got more info on how to creatively torture somebody in his head than any nine-year-old should.

Love interests (Past, current, future):
He's a nine-year-old blossoming psycho. Romance isn't in the cards.

Music (What's on the character's ipod?):
He doesn't run into much often, beyond perhaps some hieratic lullabies. Once in the DR though he'd find most of it strange or boring. Though he might laugh at any heavy self-pity songs.

Needs (Things they need to function normally):
He needs his Rod pretty badly, as there's not near as many ways to mess with people without. 

Orientation (Sexual/romantic; where do they fall on the Kinsey scale?):
Undeveloped at this point. Chances are it'd be liberally flexible.

Phobias (And nightmares, traumas, etc):
Being contained in any sense is anathema to him, and he'd fight anything that tries. He won't let it show in any pleasant sense but even with an indifference (if not amusement) at getting hurt, he's got real issues with dying that even the DR's rebirth factor won't fully calm - it'd be too much a preview of what may shortly come. 

Quarrels (Their rivals or things they struggle against):
For the time being he'd namely be hostile towards the pharaoh, but if he catches wind of his brother's future, taking his place as heir? He'll have a bone to pick with his kids, the Ishtar siblings proper, by proxy.

Religion (or philosophy and superstition in general):
He's well-taught in the subject, but he sees the tales of his people's past and their gods and culture as an amusing story, not something he'd somberly defend.
