Hi, RE: Bramba's Pier, I might have messed up something when I set the stage DLC up. I will double check this evening, I might have forgotten a file in the folder. Will get back to you ASAP!
As for your questions:
1. The playable Donner is technically all of them, but the "main" Donner is the one that met Kiyoko and Kaya, which is also the most human
2. The Original Donner is an integral part of Gaia, the Emperor is a manifestation of his will merged with the whole Gaia lifeform as a sort of proxy of it. We can say he got assimilated but still retained his individuality, hence working as a figurehead of sorts for it.
3. Yes, she already has more story in the canon short stories I collected on Ao3 - there are ~50 of them and Lucia has a role in the latter half. Incidentally, the short stories also conclude Silman Simmerik's character arc. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/series/3934243
There are some additional stories not yet uploaded there, I am planning to do that soonish, though.
4. This is addressed in one of the short stories that I still need to upload there, but his role was being the "brain/strategist" of the team.
5. Proto Krave is a prototype of his design that I kept in the game but is non-canon.
As an extra: there is an additional short chapter unlocked by getting Silman's, "New Life" Lejl and Cyphr's arcade endings after the Epilogue, which ultimately wraps up Lejl's story too and sets it up for the following short stories. I suggest at least watching her New Life arcade ending (it's one of the few costume-related endings)
Thank you very much again for playing till the very end and sorry for the DLC problems - I guess one file didn't make the cut or something...
