Just the best king passing by
So. The winner of Nerdo's fifth character slot, instead of any of those other guys, is this obscure version of Gilgamesh, King of Heroes - specifically, the version from Kinoko Nasu's math note margins - I mean Fate/Prototype
Like our Arthur and Cu Chullain, I'll be taking this guy's personality and abilities from the character notes and 12 minute OVA of Fate/Prototype. Think of him as being similar in loose terms to the final product from Fate/Stay Night, but toned down into less of a misanthropic end boss and more of a severely antiheroic punk shonen rival.
He's still got the stalker tendencies, admittedly, but he seems nicer about it.
So, notes for this game!
1) Gilgamesh is a king - the Hero-King of Sumeria, to be specific. However, since I already have an arrogant blond douchebag kingdom leader, his kingdom will be off map (probably to the West) and he will have none of the resources of a kingdom leader until such time as Char Aznable snuffs it.
2) Like the other Fate/whatever characters in this game, Gilgamesh will just be himself, not a Holy Grail War Servant. His AU background will more or less be the beginning of the Epic of Gilgamesh - the people back home can't stand him, so it was politely suggested he go off on a quest. Somewhere. Anywhere. He picked Dagaria, explaining why he's here. More details on what he's looking for or trying to do will come later - being Gilgamesh, he really doesn't care, and being me, I make stuff up on the fly.
3) I already have my cap of two limited characters (one faction leader and one kingdom leader), so as it stands now I can't use Gilgamesh as an independent, which would make the most sense. So, I put it to the rest of the game to suggest between my three options:
--Drop Izanami
--Bother AOB into forming that Yami kingdom and fold Izanami into that, removing the Netherworld as a faction
--Have Gilgamesh decide to join Britain as pretty much the worst mercenary ever. If Britain had a specific enemy (it doesn't as far as I know), that would be an option too.
4) Regardless of the choice above Gilgamesh will probably mostly be hanging around Britain, as it has the Fate/Prototype cast so far, an extremely pretty royal family, andTHE HOLY SWORD WIELDER neat magical artifacts.
5) He really likes cute young maidens, like the Fate/Prototype protagonist and every new bride in Uruk. Just a heads up.
Now to go actually keyword my icons.

On the other hand, with Proto-Gil, people can actually possibly earn respect. He'll just still be a punk.
