I’m still not 100% on how I want to portray Gil Prototype. Did lots of research and still don’t think I have it right and it’s been waiting for months. No NSFW for the request because I don’t feel like writing NSFW today.

Swear to god once the Prototype event eventually releases in JP I’m going to read every piece of content because I have NO idea how to write Proto Gil. 

Our Conquest on the Sea of Stars

Gilgamesh (Prototype) Romance with Master

Proto Gil is a lot like his other forms that could almost fool someone into believing he belongs alongside them. He thinks he’s the greatest thing in the history of Earth. There is enjoyment in watching Heroic Spirits battle. The Holy Grail still belongs to him, but in this form he doesn’t really care about it because he’s busy enjoying the “now.” 

Unlike his other selves, Proto Gil lacks the demeanor and maturity of a king. He behaves like a brute, in a fashion that his adult Archer and Caster form openly look down on. Even Ko-Gil finds him insufferable. 

Proto Gil doesn’t see much beyond skin. Given his relative immaturity, he tends to gravitate toward younger people that may be more susceptible to his Charisma. This could easily lead him into a relationship with an idiot or a mirror. Or the idiot in the mirror.

When his master demands he “stop acting like a mongrel,” Gil is infuriated. They have some nerve to talk to him that way. They have no RIGHT to talk to him that way. He is the king of all Heroic Spirits, and he deserves respect, dammit!

But he accepts that Master has a point. He’s briefly met his older selves and was startled by how different he is from them. Being that he is a rough draft of what they became, he feels as though he is worth “less” than them, because he is not his best self. Boy does that piss him off.

From the time Master calls him out onward, he behaves more like a king and less like a child. Other servants treat him with more respect as a result, which comes as a pleasant surprise. (But then he’s pissed that they weren’t respecting him to start, and that becomes a whole thing.)

He feels gratitude toward his master for encouraging him to be the best version of himself. He finds himself attracted to them, but can’t put his finger on why. He figures it’s because nobody in Uruk looks like them (and nobody but Enkidu had the guts to chide him). 

Once he gets the idea to woo Master, he pulls out all the stops. He’s glad to have someone worthy of sharing experiences with. Fancy dinners flown in from other countries. Nights on a skyscraper’s rooftop, lying on a blanket under the stars. Lavish gifts and constant spoiling make his feelings obvious. 

If Master reciprocates, they should confess to him. He won’t lay a hand on them without their permission, now that he sees them as a person and not a walking mana reservoir. 

If Master doesn’t reciprocate, he’ll continue impressing them until they fall in love with him. Then he’ll cackle saying he knew all along that they had feelings for him. 

This has been sitting in my box for ages because apparently I don't get notifications for it anymore. Fuck me up.

Sooo I'm in a RP group and RP as all four Gilgami (AUO, Cas, Kid/Ko, and Prototype, let's pretend to be surprised). The way it has been working so far is that Enkidu is kind of a harem protag.

AUO and Prototype are Enkidu's lovers, partners, confidants. AUO doesn't like sharing with himself and dislikes Prototype, but takes the mentality that as long as Enkidu isn't going to another person altogether it's okay. He'd rather chuck the other Gils out of Chaldea, but Enkidu doesn't let him. Dislikes other 3 Gils, but doesn't care about them.

Cas is Enkidu's friend, but because he is born of losing Enkidu he maintains emotional distance from them. They still enjoy each other's company. It's uncomfortable for him because he lost the right to Enkidu when they died. Cas finds AUO and Prototype insufferable.

Ko adores and admires Enkidu. They hang out bunches. He gets to enjoy his best friend while aggravating AUO and Prototype at the same time. Ko and Cas are buddies that have mutual distaste for AUO and Prototype with similar reasons.
