Tell us about yourself: I like gaming, gardening, my dumbass dogs, travelling, and sometimes activism. I work for an educational charity! For mobage I play Fire Emblem Heroes (and I miiight get off my butt and catch up on FGO since i go here now.... maybe.....), so let me know if you'd like to be friends ingame.

Character Name (Canon): Iskandar (Rider), Fate/Zero
Tell us about them: More commonly known in the west as Alexander the Great, Iskandar is an ancient Macedonian king and self-proclaimed son of Zeus. In a single-minded bid to reach the ocean at the end of the world, he conquered his way to an empire spanning from Greece, to northeastern Africa, to Persia and India. Unlike the history books, he's a huge giant of a man, but much like accounts of the historical figure he's a likeable tyrant with a larger than life personality, who was charismatic enough to inspire even his former enemies to follow him into battle. He's less of a conqueror for its own sake, and more interested in being... a really aggressive tourist on a really aggressive road trip...?

In terms of Fate/Zero's plot, he was the Rider class Servant summoned in the fourth Holy Grail War. He doesn't care about hiding his identity at all, so he'll pretty much always introduce himself with his real name instead of going by Rider.

Initial Ideas: It'd be funny if he entertained the notion of conquering the island at first, because when is he not antagonising Saber??? Why not make New Camelot into a New Alexandria?? u mad king of knights??? But after some initial antagonism and realising the gravity of their situation, he'll chill and accept that the calamity is a more pressing emergency than conquest shenanigans. (he's not completely dumb, just kinda.) if anyone is interested in getting swept up in that nonsense or even going along with it, let me know!

Other than that, since he's enthusiastic about seeing new places, he'll try and adapt to Avalon quickly enough. He already likes modern clothing, TV and video games.
Did you make any new years resolutions this year? This isn't so much a resolution as a wish for 2022 to just be chill for everyone, we all need a break from everything being so much.

Anything else: he was summoned in 1994 so he canonically wants to fight bill clinton irl
