Pre-Omniverse:
Gilgamesh is the first Original King of the world and ruled over Babylon for many years. He is the basis of all myths and has owned every single treasure in the world before he had died. He had undergone many trials with his best friend Enkidu, even as to retrieve the flower of immortality just to have it eaten by a snake. Gilgamesh is two-thirds God and one-third human bringing him to believe he is much better than everyone else.

Fast-foward to modern day. There are Magi that spend their entire lives preparing for The Holy Grail War. Every Ten years an Item called the Holy Grail comes down from the Heavens and will grant one wish to the person who wields it. The grail chooses seven worthy Magi to become Masters, those who own servants. These Magi then undergo certain rituals to summon the Earth's Oldest heroes, who become servants. The Magi lend the Heroes their Mana in order to sustain their bodies, while the Heroes fight for the Master's in order to get the Holy Grail. The master receives Three Command Spells that FORCE the servant to comply to whatever the Master had ordered. There are seven types of servants that participate in the Holy War: Archer, Beserker, Saber, Lancer, Rider, Caster, and Assassin. These servants have special abilities called "Noble Phantasms" that are their signature move of ultimate power. The last pair standing gets their wish granted by the Holy Grail.

Gilgamesh is summoned during The Fourth Holy Grail war by a powerful mage known as Tokiomi. Gilgamesh is known as the "Archer" class due to his Gates Of Babylon. Gilgamesh knows the Grail was once in his large inventory of Treasures and will use the wish to punish all those who had dared to rob his grave. He serves Tokiomi, reluctantly, due to Tokiomi's daring and bossy nature that clashed hardly with Gilgamesh's. Gil resented Tokiomi and found the Master of Assassin, Kirei, to be much more fun.

Gil managed to convince Kirei to kill his mentor, Tokiomi, and then form a new pact with Gil allowing him to become Gil's new master. Kirei does this and takes "control" of Gilgamesh, allowing him to do what he pleased.

Toward's the end of the war only Saber, King Arthur, who is actually a female, and Gilgamesh are alive. The Holy Grail had descended from the Heavens waiting to be held by a servant. Gilgamesh and Saber are alone in the room and Gilgamesh does something absurd. Gilgamesh proposes to Arthur and promises to give her all the pleasures she could dream of in the world. Arthur does not accept and Gilgamesh does not take that too kindly. He fires a sword at Arthur impaling her in the leg. He says, "You may answer incorrectly to your heart's content. Before you can understand the joy of devotion to me."

Saber's master then comes in and uses two command spells to order Saber to user her Noble Phantasm, a giant beam that emanates from her sword, to DESTROY the Holy Grail. While she tries to refuse, her body moves against her, forcing her to destroy the Holy Grail. It works and out from the Holy Grail pours the Sins of Mankind, which serves as a black tar that would taint and make any normal being go insane. However, Gilgamesh is able to withstand this with ease. It is then when Omni took Gilgamesh from the black tar into his world.

Omniverse History:

Gilgamesh founded a city in the middle of the Endless Dunes. Worked hard on creating a city that eventually formed the "nation" of New Babylon. Was banished by Proto-Mouse, after a siege on his city. Escaped hell after defeating many gladiators and was released back into the Omniverse by Diablo. Participated in Dante's Abyss 2018 and was killed by Deadpool. Instead of respawning, Gilgamesh was instead transported into Inverxe.

Abilities/Skills:

Gates of Babylon:
Damage 5 (500)
--Affects Multiple I (250)
--Ranged (250)
--Indiscriminate (-250)

Effect: Gilgamesh opens golden portals to his collection and fires an array of weaponry (swords, axes, etc.) at whatever is in his path. The swords shoot out aggressively at their targets. While, Gilgamesh can often use this to destroy a group of enemies he often does not care if friend or foe is caught in the slurry of weapons.
Total Cost: 750

Enkidu
Debuff 5 (500)
--Ranged (250)
--Ongoing (500)
--Finite (-250)
--Activation (-250)

Effect: Gilgamesh opens various portals around the area of his target, with golden chains peaking out and readying themselves to restrain the target. After readying for about ten seconds, the chains spring forth and wrap themselves around the limbs and torso of the target, making them immobile. Stronger opponents can overcome this and are just slowed by the chains. These chains last until broken, however, once used the chains are significantly weaker for each successive use.
Total Cost: 750

Golden Sword:
Damage 2 (200)

Effect: Gilgamesh opens a golden portal next to him and retrieves one of his many golden swords. If a sword happened to get knocked from his hand, he may open a new portal and retrieve a new sword.
Total Cost: (200)

The King's Barrier:
Protection 2 (200)
--Affects Multiple I (100)
--Concentration (-100)
--Weakness (-50)

Effect: Gilgamesh summons a purple barrier around him for a few seconds, deflecting ranged attacks from hitting him. If something were to distract him, the barrier would fail and he would be susceptible to ranged attacks. This barrier does not affect melee attacks nor does it prevent characters from moving through the barrier.
Total Cost: 150


Master Skill:
Social (Leadership) Rank 5 (250)
Effect: Gilgamesh has led nations before and knows how to make speeches to crowds, instill loyalty in followers, and command large groups of people.

Social (Persuasion) Rank 2 (100)
Effect: Gilgamesh has a natural way of speaking and because of such, he has the ability to sway other. However, if you are not loyal to him, his charm quickly becomes like venom.

Heya Wyatt, nice to see you again.

Before Gilgamesh can be approved, there are just a couple things that'll need changed:

1) The King's Barrier requires the Ongoing Modifier if you would like it to be able to last longer than a few seconds, and from the description it sounds like the intent is for it to last as long as he concentrates.

2) "Social (Charisma)" is too broad of a skill, since charisma applies to pretty much all social situations. Here are some possible alternatives you might want to consider: leadership, persuasion, diplomacy, negotiation, seduction.


P.S. This last bit is not mandatory, just some advice. It may be worth adding the number "1" after the Affects Multiple Modifiers in your Abilities, in the same way you would with an Effect's rank. This is because AM can be purchased additional times in order to expand the target area, and we generally just use a number beside it to show how many AMs an Effect has, since that takes up less space than it would to list it again on a separate line for each purchase.

Hey Reece,

Thanks for taking a look at the app.

The last move was intended to only last 3-5 seconds so more of a response instead of an ongoing effect. I changed the wording of the effect. Also thanks for the master skill tip, I decided to split it into two master skills. I changed it.

Alright, that looks great. You're Approved!
