If you post with Waver at the DR, let me know! I'd still love to keep on tagging with him, since he's so derpy and fun.
And this couldn't be better timing, since I'm rereading the Epic of Gilgamesh, haha. I have had a Fate/Stay Night context in my head the whole time, and I seriously think Enkidu would probably be a Berserker. It's too bad Gilgamesh is a side character, or maybe Enkidu would have shown up in Zero! Who knows.
...which is mostly random, but I wanted to share that with somebody.
The thing is Enkidu WOULD fit the physical properties, but on a mental level, only if he was pre-meeting Gil. I'm not sure if you've ever heard of Fate/Strange Fake, but Enkidu was summoned by a WOLF in that one and was classed as Lancer.
...yeah idefk. |D;
Enkidu DID get a flashback in Zero, though. It just. Ended with Gil being a creeper as always. :|;
No sweat, I kinda geeked hard out on Sumerian myths ever since I started playing him anyway, |Db;
And! Are you still considering realityshifted by any chance? It's totally okay if you're not, haha, but if you're stuck on some game concept, I can explain it?
I didn't know about that! But haha I just think Enkidu and Gilgamesh are sort of...adorably gay for each other. Their bromance is endearing. It also helps that I found some Enkidu and Gilgamesh fanart once upon a time, so the mental image...helps a lot.
Yes. :| I just. Suck a LOT and am a lazy mofo. ;;;;; I think I get it though, it's like somewhere that your character can go as a TIME OUT room for their canon - they can access it anytime to reach another plane and dick around there for a bit before going back to their realities without it having changed anything? ... I need to re-read that. /holds face.
THEY ARE. I AM NOT GOING TO DENY THAT EVER. PEOPLE HAVE CLASSED THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH AS THE FIRST HOMOEROTIC LITERATURE IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND AND THEY ARE NOT WRONG. Which is why I am confused at Nasu's take on Gil sometimes since he was so. Damn. :DDDDDD When Enkidu was around.
I guess he just snapped back to his old megalomaniac creeper self after Enkidu died and then contracted the Grail. :( There is an actual Enkidu being played at Discedo and HE IS SO ADORABLE I WANT TO TAKE HIM HOME I'M SO ENVIOUS OF XING (Disc Gil mun) FOR IT D8; ...I still don't understand what Nasu meant when they said "When he saw that man taking his last breath, the incomparable king realized - the

Yep! Basically. Some of the details of stuff catch people up, but they're...mostly not applicable. It's easy enough to ignore things at first and then just let people explain the setting through their characters in an intro post, haha
( ... )
okay fine I am kind of a creeper sob and. Can we just skim over this now. ;;
Yeah I agree, and Zero kind of confirmed that he's post-epic. So I'm just guessing that something snapped on the way? Unless you're telling me the Throne of Heroes considered pre-Enkidu Gil's soul to be more ~*~pristine~*~ than post-Enkidu Gil and kept that one instead -
Which just absolutely makes no sense. B| I even have some icons keyworded after the more humble parts of the Epic. "Cherish the child that holds your hand, and love the wife with your embrace, for that as well, is the lot of man" - and of course, "true immortality is attained by the legends that dead heroes leave behind

That journal is still one of my favorite names. But I don't play him anymore! Rider replaced him, haha.
Sure thing! I don't mean to pressure you!
It's a hard balance to make, because Fate presents him as an Irredeemable Bastard, but his source says otherwise. He still wasn't exactly...nice...but he wasn't going to, say, threaten to rape Saber, or anything like that. His Noble Phantasm that is just a show of arrogant wealth is spot on regardless, but his character should be more sociable and generally king like. (Which, as a note, I think you see the most in Rider, Saber, and Gilgamesh's feast of kings, haha. He's very civil until the end where he's hot for Saber)
Possibly several, haha. But since he was a king, he would certainly have to for the sake of royal lineage, even if it was in its infancy in Gilgamesh's time. And the bit you quoted about cherishing the child and loving a wife implies that he does, and has a child. Like for example, Alexander was pretty vocal (as many Greeks were) about not exactly liking women. But he had

It is. It is. It's an awesome name and you should FEEL awesome. More power to you for picking up Rider cause I swear my relationship with my Gil muse is pretty much identical to Waver with Rider. I don't think I'll ever have what it takes to take a crack at good old Rider, fff.
yeaaaaaaaah. |D;;;
No you have to at least a bit. I know how lazy of an idiot I can be sometimes, often. ~_~; derp.
...You do. I absolutely. LOVE. That snippet where he and Rider are like. "Yeah. 8|b" while Saber just gaped in the background ARE THEY FRIENDS OR FOES @A@;. And I look SO MUCH FORWARD TO HIS ACTUAL FIGHT WITH RIDER. ;A; "Virgin lying on a bed with flowers being scattered on it" o gil u so smooth /facepalmOh yeah, that, I mean certainly. The guy was uber promiscuous before Enkidu came along too - I just don't think any of them were notable enough to be recorded? It's like even if they're settled, you may as well consider them to NOT have done so. You sure don't really hear about it, but yeah, I agree on that. They pretty much had to
