Just a FGO player who crawls out of her cave to talk about her favs. Nothin’ else to it.
Whew…

That was a pain to post, but I did it!
I hope this wasn’t a slog to read through as much it was a slog for me to post. This is my first time doing this, so do be forgiving on that front.

But yes, you’ve reached the end. I hope you all enjoyed. Let me know your thoughts.

—Redline, out.

And upon seeing the cursed man before him, he could not feel worse about himself if he tried.
January 6, 2025 at 7:29 PM
It was a dream to him. A dream of a man who was much better than he was, doing way better than he is and winning all at once. That is all that Alter was to him then and what he was to Constantine before the singularity.
January 6, 2025 at 7:29 PM
Now, in Constantine’s defense (because I am a Constantine defender), he had no idea that this would happen let alone that an Alter of himself based on what he saw as his ideal self, the emperor his people deserved and would suit them best, even existed in the first place.
January 6, 2025 at 7:28 PM
Yes, the severity of those traits were caused by Constantinople’s anger and grief distorting him but the base traits were all on Constantine.
January 6, 2025 at 7:28 PM
Because of that, not only does he not FEEL anything at all but he also has this immense pressure in his very soul that he MUST have Rome survive at all costs and that he must solely devote himself to that cause with every fiber of his being.
January 6, 2025 at 7:28 PM
He hates Constantine for cursing him with the ridiculous traits of being stoic down to his core as well being the ‘perfect’ emperor for his people, the one who wins and survives.
January 6, 2025 at 7:27 PM
A simple means to an end… Yeah, even someone as dry as Alter isn’t happy with her one bit and immediately rebelled against her the moment she turned her back on him.
January 6, 2025 at 7:27 PM
He hates Constantinople for twisting his already good spirit origin into what it is now and placing within him an undying anger. He also hates her for basically using him as a tool to get what she wants all because the ‘real’ Constantine rejected her wishes, essentially using him as a replacement.
January 6, 2025 at 7:27 PM
Now. As for his creation—that being Constantinople messing with him and him being Constantine’s ideal self—he has a…not very good opinion on the two. And by that I mean he absolutely hates them both.
January 6, 2025 at 7:27 PM
The patches of marble on his body don’t limit his mobility any and yeah, the petrifying of his clothes is kind of annoying but it’s slow enough to where it’s not that big of a deal. It’s whatever for him.
January 6, 2025 at 7:26 PM
Now, as for his opinions on what he knows… I’ll just get the one with the least words on it out of the way first. The petrification thing? Yeah, he could not care less.
January 6, 2025 at 7:26 PM
Nothing about his personal life or his family or his best friend who had his back throughout it all, nothing. In its place are vague and fuzzy vignettes of familiar people he can’t put a name or face to that appear in his mind’s eye from time to time.
January 6, 2025 at 7:25 PM
And he knows about Constantinople messing with his Spirit Origin and his current reason for existing as well as the objective that comes with it. …That’s it. That is all he knows.
January 6, 2025 at 7:25 PM
On the Subject of His Knowledge:

Alright, what does Alter know about himself? He knows that he was crafted by Constantine to be the ideal version of him. He knows about the legend surrounding his death and that being the reason for the petrification on his body.
January 6, 2025 at 7:25 PM
He still doesn’t talk much but man is he swearing and being rude as hell when he is pissed. The imperial decorum that our Micheal lives by has gone out of the window and will not be seen again until Alter calms down.
January 6, 2025 at 7:24 PM
You know how in Constantine’s Bond Profile #1 it states that he “sometimes speaks more roughly in times of duress?” (Or “a more crude tone” if we’re reading the fan translation.) Yeah, well that’s no longer a sometimes.
January 6, 2025 at 7:23 PM
And to make matters perhaps worse he doesn’t talk much and tends to make what little he does say compact. It’s a flavorless way of communication that only changes when, you know, the Boiling Rage surfaces.
January 6, 2025 at 7:22 PM
His voice is so flat and borderline monotone, no effort to emphasize anything or even to make digesting the info any easier.
January 6, 2025 at 7:22 PM
On The Subject of Speech:

The way this man talks is so dry and bland that one would think that Alter is bored out of his skull by simply existing.
January 6, 2025 at 7:21 PM
(Yes, I headcanon that George gifted Constantine his iconic red earrings and has a matching blue pair for himself so that they both kinda match but hold their individuality all the same. A nice little thought that warms my heart.)
January 6, 2025 at 7:21 PM
He then said: “Now we match! Plus, I’ll be able to pick you out in even the most dense of crowds, my lord, as these earrings are one of a kind.”
January 6, 2025 at 7:20 PM
He vaguely recalls someone important to him gifting him these. That man, after helping Constantine put his on, took out another similar pair and placed them on his own ears.
January 6, 2025 at 7:20 PM
The red earrings on his ears, cracked beyond belief yet still hanging just fine… Yes, Alter likes those. That’s why he hasn’t taken them off or let them shatter. Why? Well…
