Awesome Servant, love his concept, personality, and abilities. You did great work on it. Curious, what would you think his relationship with Babbage would be like?Watt
"Only in my company, will you not be a monster"
anywhere than here
From the little we've seen of Babbage, I think they'd get along pretty well and work together to improve each other's works.
Babbage would probably see Watt as his predecessor and someone he owes a lot to considering his computers ran on the progress Watt paved.
Thinking about it, it's pretty damn weird that we still have no idea what Babbage actually looks like under that funky steam armor.

And I still think a good twist would've been if it was secretly Lovelace (his mistress and pupil) piloting the mecha in his stead. Seriously, the set-up was perfect!
@James Watt: I gotta say I like the sheet. Usage of the Double Summon skill works well. I like the industrial horse idea too, really fits the vibe of the sheet. Only "complaint" is that the sheet itself is rather big. It waould also be interesting to see the bond CE and everything too.
@Julia Vipsania Agrippina: I like the core ideas of the sheet, they really work good together, opposite deal of what I said with Royd is that this one could maybe use a few more words

That sort of twist was already done with Artemis and Orion though, so the effect wouldn't have worked as well.

If anybody cares, I did go ahead and add a Key Words/Craft Essence (i.e Bond CE) section to Watt. Feel free to comment on that addition if you wish.
I took a fair bit of inspiration from Hououin Kyouma when it came to getting his mad scientist act down. Well, it helps that I'd been on a big Stein's;Gate binge lately...

Long but well done Bio and Personality.
Regarding NP: Both a Reality Marble and an Army summon, the classic "seen it a thousand times" NP, but in this case I actually kind of like it? The idea of "bombardment of a port" takes center stage, which is good. The flavor behind the idea is very nice as is the visual of the destruction of the ships.
Yeah, the Noble Phantasm wasn't my best idea, but given that most of the Pirates are associated with their ships, it kind of restrict the limit of what I can do with it. But I agree, the Anti-Army NP are a little overdone, and I wished I can do something about it.
If any of you have ideas, don't hesitate to post them!

Class Skills:
Presence Concealment - -
Hides one’s presence as a Servant. However, due to Assassin’s Espionage Skill, the Presence Concealment skill has been lost.
Personal Skills:
Espionage C:
Espionage does not conceal one’s presence, but rather makes one's presence fail to register as hostile. This Skill causes others to misunderstand one's status, including mistaking one for a kind neighbor, a harmless pebble, or as the most beloved person.
At this, enemies sufficiently see the user as someone that is neither hostile nor a threat. It is even possible for an enemy to believe the user is an ally. However, suspicious actions will lower the effectiveness of the skill drastically.
Military Tactics C:
Tactical knowledge used not for one-on-one combat situations, but for battles where many are mobilized. Bonus modifiers are provided during use of one's own Anti-Army Noble Phantasm or when dealing against an enemy Anti-Army Noble Phantasm.
In life, Assassin’s cleverness and tactics allowed him to overcome armies that outnumbered and outmoded his. This skill gains a particular bonus when engaging an enemy several times stronger than him.
King’s Return B:
A skill representing a return to the throne in one’s life. A culmination of the wisdom and determination gained in one’s absence and proof of one’s worthiness for the throne. Bonus modifiers are provided to one’s ruling and commanding abilities.
Noble Phantasm:
Uncovered Blade that Defies TimeSword of Goujian:
Rank: D
Type: Anti-Unit
A bronze short-sword with ancient script engraved on it. It is a sword that cannot change. Its blade cannot bend, nor shatter, nor rust, whether against a more powerful sword or against the forces of nature.
This ability does not come from an exceptional power to conquer the fate of destruction. Instead, it is an imperfect blade that lacks the concept of time. As it does not observe the concept of time, it is locked in a state of absolute preservation for all of eternity.
Its ability, however, does not extend to its user. In battle, it is nothing more than an unbreakable blade with an above average sharpness.

Really nice personality, FC, and skills.
But I feel like "Unbreakability" is sort of an inherent quality of Noble Phantasms. Like, Broken Phantasms exist, but they are a deliberate choice, not really something that just happens. P sure they don't rust either. The flavor of being outside of time is cool but I don't know if there isn't something more to be done with it.
But then again this guy's whole motif is built around being pretty weak, so adding other stuff might take away from the idea. I dunno, just sharing my thoughts.
Hmm... I'm not to sure about the whole breakability aspect of Noble Phantasms. I suppose we've never truly seen a Noble Phantasm be broken in combat, but they have been damaged before. Gilles' spellbook was cut by Diarmuid in Fate/Zero and I feel like the implication there was that it could be destroyed.
