Now, onto the actual reply:

[The Alternate]
I know she's definitely not Chaotic and I know she's Good, but sometimes I don't know if she leans more to Lawful or Neutral. The test results were pretty conclusive though.
Hmm, I think after the meeting would be a good place to stop the thread. Either there or after they make a plan to build the house. That way, the next thread can focus on the Alternate getting the necessary materials and working on the gift. If you're okay with it that way of course.

[Dion and Rai]
Of all my characters who don't enjoy social interaction much, Dion is probably one of the worst if not directly the worst to interact with. And I'm sorry for it because it goes so against the way I like to reply to things and the like and also because I feel bad for other characters if he's being especially uncooperative, but at the same time it's fun to write a character like that??? I just know I enjoy it and at tthe same time hate it depending on the circumstances.
Bless Rai for being able to stand Dion without getting annoyed though. Just... bless Rai in general. It'd be a big RIP for Dion if he one day happens to interact with someone who's too easily annoyed (but I think it could be something fun to write/read?) because he would get really agressive.
I do want that thread! If you're okay with it, again. I'm all for Dion broadening his life experiences as much as he may protest, it's not good to be on the internet all day says me, ahem, and it'd probably be like with everything, him being reluctant about something and then in the end it turns out he enjoyed it (and he's loath to admit it ).
Please, Dion and Wiley are so funny and at the same time they make me suffer so much XD I should stop this here or else I'm gonna end up analyzing parts of Dion's character unprompted lol.
Also I have to finish my arts of the Not-Quad Squad. I'm looking forward to working on that again.

[Kiaane (and Martin)]
Of course I appreciate Kiaane, and it's totally normal to be biased with it comes to characters. It's just a fact I've come to accept over time.
(I, as an 18 yr old extrovert, did a tour of all the bathrooms in my campus just because I wanted to avoid been seen and greeted by people. I am not a good example please don't follow what I do.)
👀👀👀 I wanna read about Kiaane 👀👀👀 do drop the lore please 👀👀👀
No problem at all! I know I'm not the best with words but I can't help becoming excited when it's about characters and the like, it's fun to interpret relationships and reactions and the like. And also yes, Martin definitely needed something to talk to. I think the fact that Kiaane doesn't talk much is something that would've let him establish a connection more easily, since he's just used to either being ignored or criticized when he's talked to. So, having someone who pays attention to him while at the same time not saying much is just really good. 
Yeah that's just muscle memory kicking in with the -ing ending lol. Sorry for that but also it amuses me to read my own typos XD
Iguanas.

[Chat]
Oh then, would you like to talk about Run again next time we chat? :D I'd be glad to. I spammed my friend with images of manga Run the other day lol.
Alright, not a problem! This week is midterms for me so it's probably wiser to postpone the session to the weekend or next week. 

[F/GO]
Ah. I thought it would make sense though xD.
HSJDKSKHSK

[Caster and Sunny]
I think something I really appreciate about this AU is that even though it's a joint effort, we still have little and big character-related secrets and mysteries to eventually uncover through roleplay :D. And since it's sort of "scripted", it'd not a vague someday like the canon roleplay.
As for Sunny, I liked seeing his reaction to things. I feel like he's trying really hard to be serious and composed while he naturally isn't like that xD. And then, well, Caster would be perfectly happy with staying silent for a long time, but roleplay-wise I don't know if it's a very convenient thing. My style does include thought narration so I can always rely on that when there isn't much dialogue, but I'm not sure if it's something you like? I know it's not really a part of your writing style, but would you like for me to tone down the thought process narration?

Caster, staring at a glass of carrot juice with a tear in his eye: You would have me drink the blood of my brethren?
(I'm sorry Caster I love carrot-apple juice)

Well, most fruits are sweet xD. But that aside I think he understands the concept of eating fruits more than eating the leaf or root part of a plant. He did survive on just fruits for a long time and he doesn't need to eat much. I think the idea of agriculture in general is sort of funny to him but he does understand humans need plants for food. Once again, a situation in which he sets himself apart from humans.
Mmmm I crave sugarcane now ): it's been literal years since I last had some.
Pfft I'm imagining Caster just going through the sugar bag in spoonfuls like pop cat, and consuming the sugar cane in a few seconds by just sticking it into his mouth with wood chipper effects (does this make sense? My mental images are weird.).

[Assassin]
I think in her case more than attachment it's either loyalty or loyalty to her own ideals. She does care for others, but in her own way. It's not just out of the goodness of her heart but because of her beliefs, which yeah I think it's pretty much the same thing? Hm, kinda hard to explain the way it's in my mind, but I think it should be a lot clearer in roleplay.
*gets offen-* ah good, you apologized (I don't blame you for thinking that way though, but I as a person am a lot more attached to people than other extrovert types)
I am not going to lie, I am very dissatisfied with the way I treated Corinne in canon GGaD. I suppose it's partially because she was originally a backstory character for fun, but haha I eventually grew to like her way more than her related character. She definitely, DEFINITELY deserved a better death than the one I gave her. At least her backstory is kinda okay. Could be better tho.
Fr it's really funny that the Assassin is such a cheerful, extroverted and friendly character xD totally not an Assassin type, but I think her strength came precisely from that. Nobody would guess she's an assassin if she acts like that. And she's an extraordinarily heroic Assassin too xD for that though, it's in personalty and her legend.
Tbh as time passes I get less and less confident in her legend. It's canon, and I'm not going to change it because I do like it a lot. It's just that I don't know if it's something creative enough. I know people liked it and I'm sure you'll also like it to some extent, but I have my doubts lol. As a story/little myth it's interesting enough at least.

[Saber and Aisline]
OWO CUTE?
With the way Aisline is, I would be quite surprised if she doesn't get at least a little attached to Saber during the War (for character and story reasons). At the beginning though, she'll definitely try for a good relationship because she considers it one of the most important things to establish with her Servant. So we start from there. Anyways, it's not like Grail War participants are battling all the time. We'll definitely have fluff moments, I'm sure of it (and we'll have to make the most of that because eventually some characters will die ).
(Causally reminding myself I would fare horribly in a Grail War because I would totally get attached to my Servant and be absolutely destroyed when I value that over strategizing for the actual important thing.)

Haha yes, here she is an adult, with like around 25 yrs old. In GGaD she has the whole thing going on with "Looks 16, says she's 20, is actually 100+ years old", and she's stuck in a teenager body which she can't change xD thus her short stature and appearance. 

[The Alternate]
Theoretically I sometimes don't know the boundary between Lawful or Neutral Good, but honestly what I've come to conclude (for myself) is that it depends on what kind of law we'd be talking about. For example, CC!Rai would've been ordinarily Lawful Good, but the government he lived under sucked, so he was technically Chaotic Good.
Okay, I'll see what I can do to end the thread at a good place. I'm assuming you'd rather us just jump right into it rather than waiting awhile? I'm just personally kinda worried on setting narration again lol.
I noticed that after Laurie and Manai started interacting more directly it got easier for me to POV xD bruh. I really do suck at moderating just like GGaD!Galaxian.

[Dion and Rai]
His antisocial personality is okay since, again, I have Kiaane and Sunny. xD If it is causing a problem just lemme know and we can work it out. Personally whenever Sunny's causing a problem my blood pressure rises by 2 or 3 times so I can't relate to what you feel from Dion (the positive side specifically) xD. maybe it's just general anxiety tho xD
I hear "Bless Rai," I think of the I.Q. where he goes "My guardian angel is somewhere off drinking sake and pretending I don't exist." xD
Tbh you bring up Dion interacting with someone annoyable so...Sunny? I love the irony since we were talking about having Kiaane interact with someone who's easy to get along with and now we're brewing up a recipe for disaster (even if it's a joke xD)
Okay okay, so please remind me if I forget about the thread. I need to think of setting there too so lol. Is there anything else you'd like them to do? I mean, I've never really been in an arcade either, so maybe they should do more in the thread too lol.
Ooh Dion analysis :eyes: but for Dion and Wiley we'll have plenty of content in a certain AU ig so xD
artartartartart (*making weird walrus noises*)
Tbh I'll just note that I admire you for being able to return to sketches and stuff, since personally as soon as I turn the page on my sketchbook the next time I look at the sketch will be 3 years later (and for digital art I typically don't open the file again if I start working on something else lol)

[Kiaane Lore Dump (but toned down because otherwise where would the incompetence be) (also it's really more of a rant or character analysis than a lore dump lol)]
As you could probably garner from their form, Kiaane's character predominantly centers around one concept. Grayness. It could be interpreted many ways, of course, but most dominantly it lies in the idea of morality, of them being a mercenary of a decimated guild that was destroyed because of its embrace of evil. You can see the concept in how their elemental affinity is gray in color (alluding to a lack of association or alignment with any particular element) as well as how they can technically discern the moralities of others, because they as an individual act in ways that are wrong and affiliate themselves with people who they can see (and judge) to be wrong. 
I've alluded to Kiaane themselves being a quite okay person inside while acting contrary to their instinct, and though it's certainly true that they usually go against their own wishes and instincts (which are good by themselves), they don't always do so. One of the biggest examples of their "rebelliousness" (which is certainly different from what I had in mind as a preconcept) can be seen through their relationship with Ryoo. From the outside, someone could certainly see the matter between them as being simplistic--she came to realize and accept that her ideals were different from the guild's, and ultimately left, even if she and her family/friends in the guild could one day become enemies. But the truth of the matter, of course, was more complicated, since it's been proven that Kiaane and her were indeed friends, and so not only could they have guessed her intentions beforehand, she outright told them and offered for them to join her. And although they declined her offer, they also chose their own form of treason (continuing to the present) where they hid her secret, tried to protect her, and will ultimately revive her even if they know there's a potential of the two of them becoming enemies because of that very action.
The essence there is really that Kiaane knew what she thought and accepted that she would eventually leave before she really did (at least in coming in terms with the outcome), but in the process still could not accept her offer themselves.  
So how does that relate with Martin? I've mentioned already that Kiaane, to an extent, knows that the Thaohal Guild is "wrong," or "unrighteous," even if their understanding of morality is itself likely more shallow than that of usual people. This understanding, and some other aspects of their personality, are of course centered in aspects of their past, including how they became to be affiliated with the Guild in the first place. Like Martin, they started from a somewhat outsider position, and maybe similar to what he would like to do, basically bargained their way into their current "position" through demonstrating their power and potential. But even though they continue being loyal to the guild, I think that they subconsciously wish that the guild would correct itself, either naturally or via being reformed. And if it won't do so, then because they know how unlikely it is to change, they wish that the people who don't--or rather, shouldn't--belong to the current guild should leave when they can. Even if those same people--individuals like Ryoo and Martin--are the ones who they naturally come to care for, they still are able to manifest that rebellious, innately good aspect of themselves in this one aspect: By coming to care for someone and then wishing for the other to leave their own side, because in Kiaane's eyes, that someone will be so much happier in a place where they themselves do not have to reside.  
When it comes to Martin--you were right in that Kiaane sees their relationship with Martin as something transient, but it's not because they think he'll grow into a role in the Thaohal family, where he'll be just as distant and formal and power-hungry as the others. Rather, it's because they hope that he will leave, and never come back, and live a life of his own choice rather than one dictated for him by others. By not showing their attachment (which they are pretty horrible at by the way), not speaking with him, not creating memories with him and instead just watching him and listening to him, they hope that they will not become something that holds him back if/when he realizes that he wants to leave and instead will be able to merely give him a push into the outside world when the time comes. 

There's for sure an element in Kiaane that encapsulates my reaction of "Why don't you speak up? Why don't you just let them know what you want them to know? Why does everything have to be so complicated?", but while the actual answer is of course more complicated (hence the grayness in their character), the general answer is that they can't, not really. For one, as you've probably observed many times, they aren't someone who can express themselves well in the first place. For example, their inability to communicate and talk isn't really because they're stupid (though I do call them dense frequently), it's because of a combination of them being autistic as well as literally being barred from speaking during their formative years. And when they did learn to speak, they lived in environments like the Thaohals', where the difference between speaking more or speaking less could entail something as hefty as losing a life (not to mention actually acting on something or not). These origins of theirs make it so that they're extremely good at holding in secrets, whether those of others or their own, but overall it makes it so that they not only can't express themselves very well in the first place, they're conditioned by their environments to keep it that way. 
As for emotions, it's hard for me to really summarize Kiaane's interpretations of them, but the general assessment that I have is that they're extremely cognizant of others' feelings but are very skilled at suppressing their own, so much so that they can sometimes be feeling extreme emotions while not registering it on the conscious level. Hence it's not so much "They can't talk about their feelings with others," they just have deprioritized those feelings so much that they couldn't even reflect on them and even classify them themselves in the first place. So basically they can't really understand Ryoo's poetic inclinations too well and can't give advice to Martin, but they're able to tell when something "might be able to make Ryoo feel poetic" and can tell if Martin is bothered by something. They just can't always take the appropriate action. For example, they can do things like bring gifts to their friends, but they don't necessarily understand why gifts might bring happier emotions. And if Martin is being bothered by a task he can't do, they might do it for him to get rid of the source of his negative feelings, but might not understand if he wanted to do it himself. Things like that. 
I do think that there are better ways to express Kiaane's character, mostly through writing (and art to an extent), but I hope parts of this are interesting to you. For me, they're the sort of character who as a person is somewhere between realistic and unrealistic, in that they can be wielded as a weapon by those in the Guild just like how real people can become weapons of dictators and authoritarian regimes, hence why I never outright say that "they're a good person," but also there's an element of idealism (imo) in how they really are inside, how they can maintain their motivations and caring for others (you might even call it humanity) even though they consciously continue to stay in the guild. They don't make the best decisions and honestly are quite terrifying if you think of it from the lens of "what if you were an enemy of the guild" or something similar, but since I'm their creator I know of their better side and, I dunno, hope so much that one day they'll get a semblance of a longer-lasting happiness too.

[Kiaane and Martin]
Responding more directly to your posts! (that way I can address points rather than speaking in broad strokes)

-Again just wanna reiterate how surprised I was that he'd approach them and talk xD like it fits on both ends but idk. I just wasn't expecting it. But again, it fits, since I think Kiaane and Ryoo had a relationship where she was the one talking for most of the time too, so they're a good listener. And they would pay attention and put down what they're doing to listen, even if they can't necessarily look at him while he's speaking (not to mention establish eye contact). Sorry if I sound jittery, I'm just really happy that someone would talk to them lol. :-P
-Briefly touched on this in that rant of mine but yeah Kiaane doesn't know how to express their thoughts/feelings outside of writing (which they're decent at...but I'm not so xD), though I'm not too sure if their actions would "carry more weight" just because they're the one doing it. I think it'd be up to interpretation, basically? If you had any examples you could let me know, but no biggie if you can't think of any. 
-To affirm your thoughts/headcanons, they do feel more comfortable around him than with others (which I like to think shows in their conduct). My interpretation was that they rarely interacted with him but would sometimes gravitate towards him when others weren't around, I guess. Though maybe the two of them interacted more than I thought. Either way, you're again correct how they can't do anything resembling a heart-to-heart, but again, I like to think that their actions speak louder than words, like them buying gifts and listening to what he says and stuff like that. They for sure appreciate when others trust them, but unfortunately I don't think they register that appreciation, they just keep it a secret. (Eliza and I have a joke where Ryoo writes a letter to them after she's revived and they are just immensely protective of the letter. It's a bit overexaggerated, since it's a joke after all, but it is kinda illustrative of this particular quality of Kiaane's.) 
-Again tried to touch on this through my loredump, but I think I'd characterize Kiaane wanting to help Martin as mostly being small things outside of eventually giving him that push if he wanted to leave. Fun angsty semi-headcanon btw: Kiaane purposefully doesn't help Martin take shortcuts in terms of magic since that'd elevate him in the eyes of the guild and further entangle him in it (: For instance, if there's something inconveniencing him or preventing him from progressing in his magic completely, they'll help (most often if asked), but they aren't very proactive when it comes to helping for this reason. 
I do wanna note that Kiaane's logic in this area is weird because I'm not too familiar with the Guild's situation and also how Martin's magic works, so if you wanted to talk that out I'd be more than happy to do so (mostly 'cause I love rationalizing things as you know).
-As far as "rifts in statuses in the Guild" go, Kiaane is dense in how they don't really understand the concept of "status" in the first place but also kinda endearing in how they wouldn't care even if it they did. Besides, imo they aren't of very high status either, though we could talk that out too if you'd like (at least on Aereon's side). So yeah. 
-For "trust," (sorry, I'm kinda picking out keywords to base my responses on,) I'm not too sure how to define it because Kiaane doesn't seem to have anything that they'd rely on Martin for, and it's not like they've conveyed a big secret to him (at least not yet) that'd demonstrate this. But I sure hope this doesn't come across as "They don't trust him" because really it's more of a matter of me not knowing if trust could describe their relationship. 'Cause, again, they're keeping limits on their relationship for different reasons. It's almost as if trust is preceded by other things. (They're kinda dumb but I'm not about to judge, I mean they have good friends, just not good company lol.)

And obviously just to round this all off, I wanna say that what I'm saying is from Kiaane's perspective, but it's totally okay for Martin to not act like he knows this all. Because that's the point, right? Our characters act by ideals and thoughts that we know, but the character on the other side doesn't. I love Martin even by himself (even if Kiaane bias might be playing a big role xD for someone who doesn't understand their own feelings their emotions are highly contagious and extremely strong (': ) and I appreciate so very much that he seems to understand (or at the very least sense) that Kiaane isn't really like most of the Thaohals, so he spends time with Kiaane despite their awkwardness, and talks to them, and asks about their presence when they weren't revived the first time. For the two of us it is honestly more than enough, and even if it might seem tragic, both of us do hope that he gets his happy end at least. Power isn't everything, and besides, he has more than enough potential when it comes to magic and anything else he'd like to do. Even if he can't hear this, the sentiment is there from both Kiaane and me, and I hope at one point he'll be able to realize it himself.

[Dion and Rai]
Tbh I just remembered an idea from a few years back where I imagined Rai and Dion going to a carnival (along with Raez iirc) and Rai got Dion a few caramel apples xD and also a fruitcake since Rai wanted to see if it's actually so hard that you can sit on it
I put a reminder down 'cause I'm not feeling particularly inspired to create a thread rn that time is ofc 4 A.M. :") but hopefully I won't actually forget lol. I think I just need to solidify the context and all that. Starting POV can't be too bland/bad, after all.

[Dion and Sunny]
Splitting the tags for quarantine purposes
I dunno, maybe I want them to scream at each other (: I really don't btw please don't use this as fuel in the future
Tbh their dynamic is pretty much just ">:[" if they even started talking lol. It's hard for me to imagine them interacting. Don't worry, it's just a joke, since POVing GGaD!Sunny raises my blood pressure, like I mentioned before.
Maybe you should write it then (: you're better at writing than me after all xD

-Galaxian-

[Saber and Aisline]
I refused to yield to my mind's suggestion to genderbend them but crumbled in the face of the possibility of being able to see a cute Kiaane.
I'd say personally I'd be disappointed in a Master who doesn't establish a relationship with their Servant but then I look at Heaven's Feel where True Assassin and Matou didn't really have one and (*glances at Aereon and Berserker, the pair that seems most similar to those two*) :')
Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of this AU we get so traumatized by the deaths that in addition to the F/GO AU idea thing we also make up an entirely different AU based off this one, kinda like Hollow Ataraxia or Carnival Phantasm lol. 
(Mood, I imagine myself summoning Lanling Wang or something and dying because I'd be fanboying too hard to do anything xD not to mention how I suck at strategizing beyond Battleship xD)

Oh I see, that makes sense. Here Saber is younger than their GGaD counterpart, though if they were an adult they'd be taller. 
Tbh every time I think of how old some of the Clocktower characters are (the deities obviously but also Yvonne, Lianhuan, and Jenny) I think of the "old hag" joke surrounding Scathach idk xD
(I wouldn't be surprised if Heaven is secretly hundreds of years old too tbh lol)

Edit: I wanted to recommend Fate Extra Last Encore's OP if you haven't already heard it, it's pretty great for imagining AMVs imo. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIZ-4jUJLk8

[Kiaane analysis]
Darn, I didn’t expect to get emotional while reading that lol. There’s such a strong melancholy element with them being able to notice what’s good or wrong, mostly, but also not wanting/being able to leave the place that’s holding them to morally questionable courses of action due to the way they’ve grown up. I don’t know much else to say, but I feel very bad for Kiaane and I wish there was some way to help them out. With my characters I can’t do much, especially with Martin, cause he has growing up to do himself and according to what you said, Kiaane themselves are trying to steer him away from their relationship eventually (in what would be a happy ending for Martin, but it’s still so sad in my opinion.)
I’m sorry this is so short. I don’t think my words right can summarize what is going on through my head right now (I like [trying to] summarize my thoughts so I don’t end up with unnecessary walls of text), but I did love reading the analysis. It’s always so good to read a creator’s insight about their characters.

[Kiaane and Martin]
I think I’m too angsted at this point to be able to think through this part cooly xD but I am very sad that Martin, in his limited life experience, can’t do much to help Kiaane. And he’s a definitely less empathetic character than others of mine.

Lol I’m crying.

I stopped by a Neka maker earlier today so check out these images I made while I reply to the other topics!

A while ago I promised Paymon images so here you go:
Paymon with loose hair


Paymon with an alternate outfit and holding a flower


Laurie with a jacket


Dion? Outside? (I edited this one bc I couldn't do the hair gradient I wanted in the maker)

Thank you for the link. I'll check it out whn I have time, and I still have the other link to listen to haha.

Tbh I know this might not affect characters much but I was thinking, it would be problematic if in a Grail War I ended up summoning someone like Astolfo (aka my childhood hero) because I would go ballistic trying to befriend them and I would just abandon the War completely lol
And unrelateded but in Monday I brought up the topic of Fate in my server, and we were just talking about heroes and stuff and then someone decided to search for San Martín but in Fate version and everyone present was just completely pwned by the sheer handsomeness of San Martín in anime format lol

[The Alternate]
Sounds good! Let me know if I should leave the setting directly up to you then. I know I have a habit of making up ideas that contrast what others wanted. :-P
Nagesh is like...25 (physically) xD uncle?? I know people his age (chronologically speaking) can be uncles but I am just afjsdiofjo xD for some reason
Galaxian is a bit less cute as a sibling than Voyager is xD he's designated for the student role xF. 
And if there's anything else we need to know ig we'll either work it out in the thread (like time of day, though for some reason the Alternate give the vibes of eating a bunch of candy in the morning right after breakfast, which was pancakes with syrup or something xD) or chat it out here.

[Dion and Rai]
Dion did give the vibes of being someone who likes things that are way too sweet for anyone's good.

Sedation fic because one or both of them would need to be sedated.
Yeah Sunny would make Dion cry, since Sunny doesn't have the capability to cry anymore. (:

Lol while we were talking about the Alternate my mind was making up a huge elaborate scene on how the group would react to Peeps and that reminded me of Sunny (Meep) xD

[Grail Wars for Us]
Aha, I knew you had prior history when it came to Astolfo :D prior favoritism bias is very important xD
But for Astolfo it looks like just befriending him worked well enough in Apocrypha so...xD? For Changgong I'm just worried 'cause it looks like incompetence costs his lord dearly. So maybe I would instead fare better summoning Zhuge Liang who would probably peace out now that I think about it xD
Hey, that's interesting. I didn't know San Martin existed in Fate lol.

-Galaxian-

[Assassin]
I think I'm 👀 at that more than anything. Curiosity. About Ambryll and all (is there anything you can share about them that doesn't veer into spoiler territory? I am very owo at this turn of events.). Also, ahem, well, Assassin is supposed to have a slightly flirty trait (and pray tell @me, how AM I supposed to roleplay that correctly???? at least she has in in theory khdfgdfjglsjkfd), so depending on how Ambryll is (also their age. what's their age this is important.) that might or might not show towards them. But other than that, I don't mind at all actually. I think we should let things progress naturally, and if it turns out to be something major, then so be it! I find it a very interesting concept.
Lol it'd be hilarious if her F/DA story included simps being her demise because it'd be like that thing some Servants have in which aspects of their legends play out again in their sumonnings, but unfortunately I completely overhauled that part :'). There is one aspect of her legend that would be interesting to see if she ends up dying but it's very circumstantial and I don't want to force anything (plus it'd be sad imo).
Also feel free to simp for her or have others simp for her. She is beauty, she is grace, she uhh... I can't rhyme right now.

[Marie-Corinne]
YEAH RIGHT??? IT's such a bruh thing. I go facepalm over it.
I don't mind the tragedy aspect because I think it's cool to have that in her character concept, but... it's just that doing something like that to my OC is something I feel very uncharacteristic of me. I might be overthinking it. It's just that she's a character that I started to love with time and fleshed her out to the point in which I made a form for her even after being dead, in contrast to the silly way I created her without giving her much importance. Funnily enough right now I'd say I like her more than Kyle.
Haha thanks for the offer, I'll think on it. I can't say anything for sure right now but would it really even be okay for her to be a part of the Alternate even though her main thing is assassinations and all? I would have to figure out something for her if she ended up being revived somehow, not only a purpose but also a couple other things (like the fact that people she knows are still currently alive, what would happen if she accidentally met one of them). But thank you for the offer. I think she could be a pretty cool addition to the Alternate in terms of personality, but aside from that I can't say anything now. 

One thing I'm very happy about the F/DA AU is that it takes some of my lesser known characters (by you, at least) like Youri and Corinne and it helps me give them a different sense of importance, even if they're not exactly the same as in canon GGaD. I think it's a good way of showing my love towards my OCs by putting effort into their AU versions.

Yee, I went insane when I found out he appeared in Fate xD plus I love his design too (but let's not dwell on that) and the personality they gave him. His story was one of the first legends I read when I was little. Well, it really was Roland's story but Astolfo has such a large part in it that I ended up liking him more than Roland (also I went insane x2 irl when I found out Roland will be a future playable character in F/GO, I'm so pulling for him when he's available) and investigated a bit more. So yeah, I love Astolfo!
See, we have different problems when it comes to Grail Wars lol. In Apocrypha Astolfo was in a team setting, so there were others to guide him and all that. If he were to be with me, oh boy, I think disaster would ensue very quickly xD 
If you're going to be Changgong's Master you'd better be a good one ):<
Haha I don't know how Zhuge Liang's is portrayed in his legend, but in F/GO he just seems so chill and laid back xD like in Sima Yi's interlude he speaks very briefly and goes like "I'm enjoying the modern era".
Oh he doesn't actually lol. The user found a fan Servant someone made of him, and yeah it was pretty cool.

No, that was actually mostly me. When it comes to Xenia, she's actually quite soft-spoken, but her emotions are explosive and so tend to influence me really strongly in-the-moment. Basically it happens like this?
You show a picture of Paymon -> I get excited + She gets excited to a drastic extent at the same time -> I make mutually OOC messages like "OH NO HE'S HOT"
What I mean is, I don't think it warrants a "Calm down Xenia" message. At least I think.

Idk I tried to search up other nicknames for Laurel and the browser pwned this response (hence why I'm retyping it),,, I'd say for me Laurie is a more feminine nickname but maybe he (lol weird pronoun usage) wouldn't care. Maybe he could go by Laure lol

[The Alternate]
Okay!
Bruh xD but why. their eye colors still wouldn't match 
Nice, then it all fit together then! Hoping for the thread's success :D

[Candy Apples]
I wanted to try a caramel apple when I was little but didn't because it cost money (I thought it was a free sample but it wasn't). So I don't really have an opinion. I have heard the same opinion from others though. What about apple slices dipped in caramel? Do you still have the same or similar opinion?
Btw just to make it clear, Rai buying both of those things was a joke. Basically it would be based off how carnivals have good-looking food that really aren't too eatable.

[Assassin]
I think I'd need more specific questions, but I guess here are some things about them!
-Weirdly attractive physically (I did not intend for this to be the case)
-Canonically they're in GGaD but not as a submitted character
-Occupation-wise they're a scientist/engineer
-Extroverted introvert (still has a social battery tho)
-They're kinda a dork I love them
-Also they are unnecessarily good at fighting lmiao
-Oh yeah also their pronouns are he/him and they/them but they don't really talk about it so he/him is probably what others would use by default

I dunno how many times I've stopped myself from sharing one particular drawing of them xD but honestly idk how good their design is in terms of matching with their personality/characterization and all that,,, again, maybe give me more specific questions if you'd like, 'cause I'm looking at the above points and don't think it really helps answer any questions xD. 

Also:
-Flirting has 2 outcomes with them: 1) It goes right over their head 2) they die (there's technically an option 3 where they acknowledge it and try to flirt back but actually they die)
-They're 19 (please also give Assassin's [physical] age this is also very important)

She is beauty, she is grace, she has a very cute face (*dies inside*)
Tbh I was gonna say "I can't simp for her, I simp for Kiaane" but then I realized there have been instances where Ambryll has affected me emotionally so. I'll see. Lol.
May I bring attention to the fact that her hair is the most similar to Artoria's? Of course she'd have simps (jk Helge's might be more similar lol it doesn't actually mean anything)
