Gilgamesh

How the Gilgamesh get around when the teleporting abilities are not working. =D

Sorry to anyone not interested, but I need to round up Gilgamesh people for AX. So on behalf of our fearless leader (that would be Ziggy), let’s figure out a time cause some of us (*cough*scruffyrebel*cough*) are scheduled to the max already. =D

Ok, when we meeting peoples? So far I’ve been suggested later Sunday or sometime Monday. So comment if you have other engagements or suggestions! Something to maybe keep in mind: Lionel will be free Sunday evening if we wanted to do a photoshoot with him which would be wicked cool. =)

Oh and for everyone else, if you’ve got some free time and room in your AX schedule (ha!) and want to do an easy costume from Gilgamesh, there are a bunch of fairly simple plainclothes characters that would be fun to have.

A quick rundown on the series

Ok, LOTS of spoilers forthcoming, so uh, don’t read if you don’t want to know…


Countess

This lady’s the one who rounds up the orga-superior kids to fight the Gilgamesh. She’s trying to save the world while Enkidu and the Gilgamesh are trying to wipe the earth’s slate clean (a la Clamp’s X). In typical anime-style-we’ll-just-turn-the-world-upside-down-in-the-last-episode: turns out she was responsible for the whole entire mess by inadvertently creating Enkidu. She comes off as the type who will do anything to get the job done and ends up being a rather tragic character.

The main characters, the siblings

Kiyoko

She’s a normal human being, no powers. She has the COOLEST end scene EVAH. She ends up sleeping with Novem (which would be Ziggy’s character), and her baby is so not human, it’s not even funny. So the whole series, she carries this tuning fork her dad gave her as a momento. She takes the tuning fork and stabs her kid to death at the end. It was sooo awesome. =D

Tatsuya

He gets recruited to join the Orga-superior kids to fight the Gilgamesh. He is actually not Kiyoko’s brother; he’s a clone of their father but neither one of them figures it out until much later.

Orga-Superior Kids

Fujisaki

He’s kind of the leader of the Orga kids. Fairly serious but a cool character. The orga kids are like the Gilgamesh: they have telekinesis, telepathy, teleporting, and a couple other x-men type powers. =D

Tooru

The kid of the bunch.

Enkidu’s gang

We call these the ‘pup tents ™’. =D Judy has Enkidu done already, but there are actually 3 more of these guys. The outfits are exactly the same, but the people wearing them look like the Orga-Superior Kids… and that is because the Orga kida are actually clones of the people in Enkidu’s little gang.

Enkidu is leader of the Gilgamesh and causes this big catastrophic reactor-meltdown type incident that turns the world into your standard post-apocalyptic mess.

Others

Reiko

Reiko is actually a male although everyone mistakes him for a girl. And he’s blind, hence the bangs of doom. He’s a clone as well. His eyes were donated to the person he’s a copy of.

Hayato

This guy is in charge of a group of genetically engineered soldiers called the Blattaria. They’re bred to fight Enkidu and Gilgamesh. They actually succeed in killing a couple of them, but Gilgamesh can re-spawn so no luck there. =D

I don’t seriously expect someone to pick up another costume at this point but I figured I’d put it out there cause we’re getting to be a pretty size-able group and more people is fun! =)
