Hello, hugely weakened alchemy, not nearly as much martial arts ability, and instead of working with the military, obsession with Rentanjutsu (Xing!Alchemy, like in the manga) and with the dream of becoming a doctor using that instead?
Also, not nearly as conditioned to violence/war/death/terrible things.
2. ... Kotarou, having instead taken Fate's offer and accepted the deal of assassinating Negi in return for his freedom.
3. And Ciel, still older, still snarky and a hilarious fail, but raised with loving parents who he thought the world of, being groomed to be Phantomhive's successor? Hello more easygoing, innocent Ciel without boundless hatred/anger.
