A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.
In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.

Gilgamesh on the Type-Moon Wiki
Strengths/Weaknesses:
+/- Egotistical – his staggering ego gives him enough confidence to be intimidating, but it’s not like he doesn’t have the weapons to back it up. Unfortunately, this also means that he underestimates his opponents immensely to the point where it is fairly easy to best him in combat if one is capable and if he is not taking the battle seriously. He will not go all out against someone he does not feel he has to, and it’s also interesting to note that if he had chosen to take the Fourth Grail War seriously, he could have ended it in a single night.
+ Charisma – this is actually also listed as a skill on his wiki page. He is praised as being the greatest king and therefore any army that he commands will have their morale significantly boosted because of his overwhelming self-confidence. He also has the influence to build a global-scale, grand empire. Because his rank is so high (A+), it is not so much considered a skill as it is a curse or an act of sorcery.
+ Gate of Babylon – described further in the Abilities section, but this is his main method of attack.
- Close combat – Gilgamesh is by no means a proficient swordsman like those of the Saber class. Against an opponent who has mastered their weapon he is weaker, especially in close quarters combat. He is described as a “wielder” but not a master, but he is able to gauge his opponent’s abilities enough to where he will not put himself in a position where he will be at a disadvantage.
+/- Magic Resistance – While contracted with Kotomine Kirei his rank in this drops to E. The damage he takes from magic is reduced, however considering the insane amount of weapons and armor in his treasury it can be assumed that he has something within it to help defend against all types of magic. The armor and shield he possesses, as a matter of fact, are both able to easily repel A-rank magic. It’s more likely that he’ll ruthlessly slaughter anyone trying to annihilate him with spells that take a significant amount of time to cast with the Gate of Babylon.
Further strengths/weaknesses are touched upon in the personality section above, and for the sake of avoiding redundancy I will avoid listing them here. However, if the mods feel as though it is something to be expanded upon, I would be more than happy to provide examples.
Abilities:
Gilgamesh has within his possession the Noble Phantasm Gate of Babylon, which is, in essence, a giant gate that links to the treasury housing the multitude of weapons Gilgamesh has collected over the years. The treasury houses within it prototypes of all the Noble Phantasms in the world, and since he is the original hero all the other heroes that come after him are considered derivations of his legend, and their weapons offshoots of the originals he keeps within his vault. The Gate of Babylon itself is described as a “key-shaped shortsword” that he uses to “connect” to the Golden Capital, which is the name of his treasury. He does not need to pull out the key in order to access the Gate, as he has been shown simply summoning weapons from his vault and firing them at will – which is the reason why he has been designated as the Archer class in Fate/Zero – and the contents of his treasury are so vast he claims that not even he knows the number of treasures he possesses. If an item is assessed as having any kind of worth, and since the treasures of the world trace their origin to his vault, it can be assumed that it already belongs to him and can range from submarines and airplanes to potions of youth and fine wine. Even if he has not glimpsed it or held it by hand, the fact that it is valuable makes it his.
Examples of the weapons in his Gate shown during the course of Fate/Zero are:
Ea: Sword of Rupture – an Anti-World weapon capable of showing the “truth” to whoever he chooses to use it on and one of the most powerful weapons he has in his arsenal. In his fight with Rider he uses it to shatter his reality marble -- Ionioi Hetairoi -- and return them to the real world, restraining him with Enkidu before he stabs him.
Enkidu: Chains of Heaven – described as the “greatest secret” in the Gate of Babylon and the Noble Phantasm Gilgamesh trusts the most. It is named after his one and only companion Enkidu, and has the power to restrain the gods themselves. The higher the divinity of the target the stronger it is, but even on a non-divine person it is still tough to pry off.
Vimana – it’s actually a giant flying machine. No really. It first appears in the battle against Caster, and he pilots it in the dogfight with Berserker in the air.
In addition to that, he also possesses a skill called Independent Action. Because he is taken from just when he has the grail mud dumped on him, Gilgamesh is given complete incarnation and his rank in this ability is upped from A to A+. It allows him to completely operate without a Master, though he may remain contracted with one, even when he expends a large amount of magical power. Even though he accepted energy from Kirei’s orphans in F/SN, he comments that it was entirely unnecessary.
Gilgamesh, as with all servants, also possesses a “Spiritual Body” in addition to a “Material Body”. He can switch to a spiritual body at will and in this form he is, in essence, like a spirit. He is undetectable to all but the Master he is contracted with – for any others he is extremely difficult to sense – and in spirit form consumes less mana than when he is materialized. Normally his disappearances and reappearances are indicated by him disintegrating in a shower of gold glimmer.
