I started conceptualizing design ideas for Hephaestion. I used Gacha Life since I don’t like drawing designs out until I’m 100%sure of them, and Gacha Life helps me come up with ideas for outfit details anyway.
I wanted his design to resonate well with both his sister and Iskandar, so I took design inspiration from both of them. I also saw this painting of Hephaestion with a red and gold cape, so I made sure to include that, too. I looked up Greek bows for accuracy, but Gacha Life’s only bow was this one with all the spikes. Just imagine that the spikes aren’t there, lol.
I imagine he’d carry himself carefully, presenting himself as a wise philosopher who tries to avoid violence although he likes the thrill of a good fight, but he’s naturally boisterous, and when he has to take action, he won’t hesitate to protect those he cares about. He’s also a bit of a self-sacrificer who would turn down anyone’s direct offers to ease his burdens.
Dialogue Ideas
“If I have no choice but to draw my bow, then I shall give this fight my all! Your orders, Master!”
(To Iskandar) “Ah, great King of Conquerors! It is good fortune that we were summoned on the same side! But take note of this: should the day come when we are forced to be enemies, do not hesitate to strike down the one who knows your secrets… my everything."
(To Alexander/Iskandar Lily) "Haha! It seems that you are simply wise beyond your years, just as I expected! Hm? That shocked look on your face... Has interacting with a younger you caused some sort of time paradox!?"
(To Faker) "Dearest Sister, it is good to see you again! Hm? Faker...? Ah, foolish Sister, you're trying to do my job again, aren't you? Don't worry. Iskandar will have no need for another protector so long as I am here!"
(To Oda Nobukatsu) "Listen here, young one. A word of advice: if you want to support your sister, you must not sell yourself short. After all, if one of her fiercest allies cannot even hold confidence in himself, then what does that say about your ability to protect? ...I'm sorry to say such a thing, but it's the harsh truth."
(To Bartholomew Roberts) “Lord Pirate, I simply must ask… why are you following me with that grin on your face? Huh? My hair?? That’s… very flattering, but… that’s no basis for admiration! True admiration only shines through in the face of a strong personality! …Oh? You like that too? Well, regardless, I’m taken.”
(Wearing Spiritron Dress "Clothed in the Care of the Conqueror"): "Well, would you look at this? This fiery red hair, the strength coursing through me... I may still be an Archer, but I'd forgive you for thinking that I'm the Faker now! ...Don't tell my sister that I said that. Please."
Others' Dialogue for Hephaestion
(Faker) "The sister you wish to speak to no longer exists. Rest easy, comrade, for I shall protect Iskandar in your stead. Unfortunately..."
