> PERSONALITY

--> Enkidu has no set gender, not just because of being born from clay but because he can change his body at will into anything. As such, he'll answer to any pronoun given, whether feminine, masculine, neutral, indeterminate... whatever someone wants to use, it's the same to him. He defaults to use masculine pronouns (he/him) and a masucline body (that is, possessing of male sexual organs) in order to match Gilgamesh, as sharing the gender with his close friend makes him feel happy. Whenever he's actively changed into another gender, whether that be female, nonbinary, or anything else, he tends to adapt those pronouns at least for the time he's in that form. This does lead to some confusion with humans, as people who meet Enkidu refer to him with any number of pronouns.

--> Enkidu comes off as calm and cheerful to those who see him, and speaks with a tone and inflection that is pleasant to most to hear. His mannerisms give off the same feeling as a gentle, cool breeze when one's hot, and his voice feels like what "singing flowers" might sound like, meaning that plenty of people become endeared to him quickly -- especially because of his immensely beautiful appearance. What also helps is that though he's fairly expressionate, Enkidu rarely yells, preferring to project his voice if he needs to be heard and using a firm tone to order or scold someone. His eyes also are generally gentle-looking, though those who are very good at observing or looking beyond things can see the terrifying strength behind them.

--> This feeling of nature works in reverse as well, however. When angered, Enkidu's presence is as chilling the iciest water and his voice sounds as if the very wrath of nature itself has taken form in it. His eyes become as primally terrifying as the feeling of being naked in the dark and watched by the glowing eyes of wolves. While he still doesn't yell, the projection and power in his voice becomes intense enough to drop weak-willed people to the floor by it alone. While Enkidu may be passive and serene usually, once he begins to move as a beast, he continues to move as a beast, shredding all in his way that could be called an enemy.

--> He is perfectly pleasant with humans and enjoys being around with them and speaking to them. Because of his state as a creature of the wilds, Enkidu did not learn anything of humans until he came to Gilgamesh, and as such, human nature and culture has never lost its fascinating quality to him. However, though he does love humans somewhat (mostly from Gilgamesh's own love), he is a creature of Gaia first and foremost. If Enkidu has a choice to save humans and to save nature, he will always choose nature, feeling it more important to preserve than the lives of a few humans. However, just because his priority is nature does not mean he is not safe for humans, nor that he isn't a protect of them. Gilgamesh had a wish for him to use his strength and power for the sake of the people, and as such, Enkidu will protect humans if they need him, as Gilgamesh's kingdom is all that of earth and all humans are under his dominion.

--> Enkidu doesn't really care about personal space -- people touching him usually doesn't even register for him if they aren't attempting an attack, as wild animals certainly didn't be coy or "polite" about it. He isn't overly pleased with it sometimes, but in general, he simply ignores it. The exception is if someone is a proven threat, Gilgamesh has expressed genuine displeasure over them handling him, or if he dislikes them. In those cases, they won't be allowed to touch him whatsoever, and any attempts will leave them with painful (but neither dangerous nor permanently harmful) wounds on their hands and arms.

--> He can, in some ways, come off as a tamed beast himself despite his civilized and pretty appearance. Whenever his Master (or Gilgamesh) are lounging in nature, he's perfectly content to simply sit and lounge too, enjoying the appearance and the songs of the rivers and animals. He's immensely relieved to see not just that nature remains so beautiful despite cities, but that some cities are even attempting to adapt to and flourish nature within them to make a beautiful mix of a human's necessary city and the world's natural life. Cities with a heavy nature presence, like parks and gardens, are cities he likes best. In the past, while living in Uruk, he made it such a place, helping plants and nature to flourish brightly and thickly despite the heat. Because of this, Uruk's people and Gilgamesh himself all gained an immense appreciation for nature, as well as being most used to places where it lives. Thanks to that appreciation, if anyone met a civilian of the original Uruk somehow, they would be violently protective of nature both because of their love of it and its connection to their king's beloved friend.

--> He looks on his days of running in nature as a wild beast with only Gilgamesh's voice fondly, though he has learned too much to ever return to it. When it comes to animals' wishes, he will also obey them without hesitation.

--> Enkidu hates Ishtar with all he is because of what she brought about: Gilgamesh's pain and return to solitude. While she is the only god he hates, he has no real love for the rest after what happened, either.

--> He feels a deep guilt for dying and leaving Gilgamesh alone, and tries to account for it by ensuring he protects himself again at all costs whenever revived. This guilt is only worsened by Gilgamesh's refusal to forget him, even though the memories cause him pain.

--> He naturally smells of flowers, like he's wearing perfume but with a smell that's natural and perfectly balanced. The smell is exotic and impossible to place regardless of how experienced one is, as Enkidu's scent is that of flora long since extinct.

--> He usually obeys Gilgamesh... unless it comes to Gil's health. Enkidu can and will take over if he feels Gilgamesh is neglecting himself, and has been known to tie him down if absolutely necessary -- sometimes with his own body as the chain, and sometimes simply by laying on him.

--> He's a bit of a clean freak. He absolutely despises rust and mold, and says he has an urge to "eradicate it" if he sees it.

--> Enkidu's translated dialog from Fate/Grand Order.

> HISTORY

--> Enkidu actually knew Gilgamesh even when he was younger. When he sought out the king and found him to be a child, Enkidu observed him while waiting for him to grow up. He was found out, of course, and the two interacted pleasantly enough, though not even remotely on the level they would have later, as Enkidu kept distant, trying to figure out what flaw the Gods apparently saw in him (which he would see later as Gilgamesh became a tyrant). However, even though this is the case, Gil-ko/Child Gil still feels the intense, "my friend" feelings for Enkidu, as his adult self's bond made with the doll was strong enough to transcend even time. While Enkidu has no child self at all, being "born" an adult, if he did have one, the same would work in reverse.

--> He was able to determine that Gilgamesh's arrogant nature came from being alone and resolved to reprimand him for that.

> ABILITIES

--> According to one thing he says in Grand Order, apparently, Enkidu can mimic the wish-granting ability of the Holy Grail if provided with enough mana. His specific words are: If you poured some mana into me, I could at least serve to emulate its wish-granting function.

--> Enkidu does not have set parameters like other Servants thanks to his "Transfiguration" skill (sans Noble Phantasm, which is always A++). Because of this, anything that displays parameters struggles to actually show his as he can change them on a whim, even within seconds. The way his parameters work is simplified into, essentially, a skill tree system: the strength of his Master assigns "skill points" to Enkidu and allows him to distribute (and redistribute) them freely. With a powerful magus supporting him, Enkidu has enough "points" to make all of his parameters A rank if they're distributed equally. With a less powerful master, his equal distribution is lower, and may end up with some stats higher than the others. Assuming a powerful enough magus to support him, then he can further raise his parameters to A+ rank. However, A to A+ is a more expensive than any other rank raising, requiring more "points" to establish.

As an example, if Enkidu has all B-ranks and wants to raise a stat to A, he has to drop one stat to C, but the rest remain B. If he has all A-Ranks and wants to raise one to A+, he must drop two stats, leaving him with two Bs, one A+, and the rest A. In theory, Enkidu could achieve A+ rank in everything, but this would require him to be summoned by the world itself and have the earth itself as his Master.

As a final note, Enkidu's Magic Resistance (from his Lancer class) is also exempt from this system and is based entirely off his Mana rank.


--> He has two Noble Phantasms.

The first is Enuma Elish, with the full title being Enuma Elish: O Humans, Let Us Restrain The Gods. It's classified as an Anti-Purge type, with a range of 0-999 and a maximum target of 1000 people. In this Phantasm, Enkidu transforms himself into the chain Enkidu (flashily) and can move and navigate freely to attack and harmfully restrain targets. It is a light-type attack that uses the power of Alaya and Gaia itself, and becomes stronger the more harm the target has done to the earth (gaining unknown special effects on people who have caused it great harm). It is also known as the "Linchpin of the Heavens", and through Gilgamesh's wish, Enkidu uses the "chain that restrains even the heavens" for the sake of humans.

The second is Age of Babylon, with the full title being Age of Babylon: The Wisdom of the People. However, nothing is currently known about its in-depth stats. What it does is similar to the Gate of Babylon and is Enkidu's opposite skill to it, allowing him to use weapons of the utmost pinnacle of craftsmanship in attacks, either directly (such as holding it) or by using them ranged weapons. However, unlike the Gate of Babylon, these weapons are not taken from anywhere but created on the spot from the earth and Enkidu's own clay. This is the skill he used to fight against Gilgamesh when they clashed for the first time and what left him with so little left he couldn't even form clothing.
