Character name: Donn Character canon: Original Briefly explain what their ideal world is like - how has it changed? Donn's ideal world is built upon a contradiction: he is still the Apostle, but every last one of the kids who came before him were allowed to live instead of being sacrificed. Rather than changing the time of his birth to 30 years previous, Donn's ideal world simply brings all those children and young teenagers back to life. Briefly explain your character's role in this world: He's still the Apostle, a human-turned-faun that plays host to the forest spirits and who serves as a guardian-healer figure for his community. The only major difference is that he's treated much more warmly by his former neighbors (and family) than in canon; they stand close to him, speak to him as an equal and friend, touch him (chastely) without reservation, and overall lavish him with the sort of platonic affection you might show to a sibling or a close friend. Other roles characters might assume in this world: Donn's village is quite rustic and secluded, populated mostly by farmers, hunters, fishermen, the occasional blacksmith, a village elder or two, and the like. There's also a looot of kids and young teenagers. The village is surrounded by a rather dense, heavy forest that goes on for miles.
Potential discrepancies others may pick up: There are WAY TOO MANY KIDS + YOUNG TEENS in the isolated, vaguely!Middle Ages-era village of Donn's dream world, far more than should be realistically possible even after accounting for a lack of birth control or a cultural preference for large families — the numbers just don't add up! Several of these non-adults are well-defined, with distinguishing traits and names, who give every impression of being actualized people; but to borrow an excellent idea from Prompto-mun above me, many, many more simply "exist" and seem more like hazy figments. Also, everyone seems to alternate between calling the goatboy "Donn" and "Donnchadh"; while these are both Actual Real Names that sound similar, something about the way they're spoken will give the impression of belonging to completely different people.
