Character

Enkidu

エルキドゥ

From their gentle tone and graceful bearings, one would never guess that this is a “Noble Phantasm with a will” that possesses a fierce combat power. The chains that fasten heavens and earth, regarded by the King of Heroes Gilgamesh as one of the strongests. A doll created by the hands of the gods, and also an offshoot of the earth that harmonizes・becomes one with nature. A tragic weapon that underwent many adventures as the sole friend of the King of Heroes and, after acquiring a human heart, returned to dirt as a doll. One of the oldest heroes described in the Epic of Gilgamesh. A weapon manufactured by the gods. Originally, they were “a clay work that could transform into anything” produced by the gods. They phantasmagorically change their shape in accordance with circumstances. Their whole body is equivalent to a weapon of gods. However, they do not have the same mentality or emotions as people, and at first they were not all that different from a wild beast. It has been said that, after appearing on this world, they became aware of much by meeting with a single sacred prostitute and eventually choose to take the shape of a person (as their basic form). This appearance is something modeled after said sacred prostitute out of respect. Their combat strength is roughly the same as that of the King of Heroes Gilgamesh during his golden age. In the battle against Gilgamesh described on the Epic, they displayed a performance on par to him, who is recognized as one of the strongest heroes in human history. The first friend ever discovered by Gilgamesh, who was an aloof existence, and they too perceive Gilgamesh as their peerless friend. After the fight on the city of Uruk, the friends Gilgamesh and Enkidu underwent many adventures, but they ultimately lost their life after the battle with the divine beast Gugalanna. Introverted, active and self-assured. Usually they just loiter like a beautiful flower but, once they get on the move, they become a frightening active monster that doesn’t wait, has no mercy and shows no self-restraint. Since they are life forms born from the Earth, they also finds humans “appealing”. But, because humans think of themselves as beings apart from nature due to their intelligence, they rank low as protection targets. They feel that animals and plants are existences closer to itself and they mostly takes action in order to protect them. That being said, since they had great curiosity (intellectual craving) to begin with, Enkidu regards conversations with humans as an enjoyment. If said character has an appealing personality (a totalitarian brimming with philantropous mentality, and yet who thinks of himself as foremost), they will demonstrate respect and admiration from the bottom of their heart, feeling joy in supporting him as a friend. Originally, Enkidu was a weapon dispatched by the gods in order to “restore Gilgamesh to god”. The “Linchpin of Heavens” created so that gods and people would not separate, Gilgamesh. Because such Gilgamesh revolted against the gods, they were charged with the role of binding and bringing him back to heavens. However, Enkidu became Gilgamesh’s friend and, just like their friend wished, chose the path of using this “chain that restrains even heavens” for the sake of people.
