Iara: Cool sheet, but isn't two beauty-related Skills kind of redundant?
I did not expect the Iara sheet to be made so fast. I confess that I am surprised and happy. A very nice sheet and with a good master, Iara would be extremely annoying in a Common Holy Grail War.
... Erm, yes and no?
It supposed to be what Alter Egos are; artificial constructs from bits of data from the Mooncell. (S)he was supposed to be used in a Mooncell-centric thing similar to Sunny's Alteregos.
But then I can't really justify her(?) existence as a Servant without copying Sunny too much or spoilering(?) Things.

I didn't even understand how the Class works, like, I know it was supposed to be fragments of the original HS/DS like the CCC Sakuras to BB and Kiara to Beast III/R. But, aren't that just how Servant are?
My own confusion and thinking way too hard made me scared to make one.
I just avoid Alter Egos on one part of inconsistent definition, and one part me not understanding it enough.

Legend
The girl who would later become Woman Chief was born to the Gros Ventres people and was no one special. At the age of ten, however, a Crow raiding party took her and a few others prisoner during a time of strife. The young girl quickly impressed the warriors of the raiding party with how quickly she took to hunting, crafting, and fighting. One of the older warriors, who happened to be a local chief and whose sons had died in other conflicts, saw potential in this girl and raised her as his son. She soon earned acclaim for her riding, marksmanship, and hunting ability. When the old man passed away, she inherited the leadership of his lodge.
From here, her fame could only grow. She fought off multiple attackers during raids by the Blackfoot tribe. She put together her own warband and led many successful raids against that tribe in vengeance. For her accomplishments, the Council of Chiefs officially recognized her as a member of their order and named her Bíawacheeitchish, or Woman Chief. She took this name gladly, discarding her old name and her old tribe to be forgotten in the wake of her fame. Woman Chief rapidly rose to the rank of third among the Council’s 160 lodges, married four wives, and vastly increased the wealth and prestige of her lodge. She managed to unify multiple tribes of Northern Missouri under a treaty, including the tribe of her birth. After several years of peace, she was ambushed and slain by the Gros Ventres during a trip to a yearly peace meeting.
Her story and appearance fascinated any and all Westerners who ventured out into her territory. To them, she was a living Amazon, which was a description that left a lasting impression on future generations. The occasional casual trysts with these visitors may have affected this perception as well, but she was usually faithful to each of her four wives.
Tactics
Successfully activating the Counting Coup skill is Woman Chief’s greatest priority in combat. Since the parameter bonuses that occur after a successful activation are temporary, this typically leads to a feedback loop of stunts that become more dangerous as time goes on. Facing impossible odds gives a slight bonus, but surpassing them elevates her to the rank of a top-tier servant. Since Counting Coup’s taunts generally don’t cause harm to an opponent (other than to their pride, of course), it will generally be reserved for the beginning of encounters.
Woman Chief is the sort of Servant who takes charge of the Master-Servant arrangement. A Master, regardless of gender, that speaks in the contrary will have a very difficult relationship with her unless she takes a certain type of interest in them. The same goes for any allies, be they Servants or otherwise.
Class Abilities
Independent Action: AThe ability to remain independent without a Master’s Magical Energy supply. At A rank, it is possible to take action even without a Master, though high-cost Noble Phantasms do require some back-up. At this rank, it is possible for a servant to stay in the world for a week without their master.Magic Resistance: D
A skill that grants protection against magical effects. Despite being a modern spirit, Woman Chief retains a low level of Magic Resistance thanks to the protection of her patron spirit.Riding: C+
A skill denoting the ability to ride mounts and vehicles. Only horses can be handled with above average skill. Under the Rider class, this skill would be much higher since she can use a fragment of her patron spirit as a mount.
Personal Skills
Counting CoupThe act of gaining prestige with brave acts of taunting an enemy. Immediately after performing an incredibly risky maneuver that puts her life in danger, Woman Chief temporarily gains increased stamina regeneration, increased mana efficiency, and a rank up to her parameters that scales with how much Health she has left. If she completes the maneuver unscathed, it is a considerable boost.Guardian Beast: A
A powerful spirit, a “great father” or Iilápxe, that accompanies and protects their charge. Woman Chief’s spirit is the Thunderbird, one of the candidates for the mysterious bird-elemental from which the Crow people derived their name. It is a prideful creature, a trait it passed down to Woman Chief.Two Spirit: C
An Indigenous North American term denoting someone who fulfilled a role separate from that of a man or woman. Effects that target a specific gender are disregarded.Noble Phantasms
Suuwassée (First Thunder)Sacred Father, Grant me Strength
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Unit (Self) Noble Phantasm
Range: Self
A conduit of the sacred power of God in the form of a ceremonial pipe. By taking a drag on the pipe and invoking the power of her intermediary, the Thunderbird, she can catalyze the sacred power through the Thunderbird’s own physical and spiritual characteristics. She can call upon its power to give herself wings, to modify storm fronts in the immediate area, to cast lightning bolts, to create thunder, and to temporarily grant herself a great boost to her physical parameters. During these instances, her presence registers as that of an Elemental for a moment as opposed to that of a Servant.
The Thunderbird is a powerful elemental from North America. It is a massive bird, similar to the Rocs of the Old World, that ascended past the ranks of Phantasmal Species into a powerful nature spirit. It’s mastery over storms, legendary power and strength, and its mastery of the world above are present in numerous beliefs across North America. Some Crow even believe that the name of their tribe, “Children of the Large-Beaked Bird,” refers specifically to the Thunderbird. The Winnebago tribe believed that those who were visited by the Thunderbird were destined to become Warchiefs, but the Crow-raised Woman Chief wouldn’t know about that sort of thing.
Báaiia Kalíhchiia (Lightning Arrow)Heavenly Father, Grant me Victory
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Unit (Self) Noble Phantasm
Range: Self
An alternate usage of her Iilápxe’s blessings. Once again, she invokes its power with ceremonial pipe smoke, but in this case the smoke seems to grow supernaturally as she recites a short prayer and notches an arrow onto her bowstring. After a moment, the smoke instantly disperses to reveal an arrowhead, sparking with celestial lightning, mid-flight and perfectly aimed to strike an opponent's vitals. Being hit with this arrow is akin to being struck with the electrical charge of a whole thunderstorm at once. Woman Chief likes to pull this one out as a surprise attack, but the set up phase makes that a bit difficult. The panache necessary to perform a charge up attack in the middle of battle does count as an activation of Counting Coup.
This technique was never used in life, but taught to Woman Chief within the Throne of Heroes by her patron. As a spirit herself, she has come to understand her guardian better to the point where she can communicate with it through manifestations of electricity. She hears its voice clearest during a thunderstorm. While it might unnerve her Master at first, they will develop an ability to understand the Thunderbird's general intent soon after summoning her. If the Master impresses the Thunderbird, then the great elemental may choose to take them under its wing.
Author's Notes
Author's Notes (Servant Usage)
I blame FGO for that. And yeah, I had a hard time defining Alteregos as well. Newer Alteregos(?) are either joke characters, or... Kiara?
I played /Extra CCC and wiki-walked a bit, so I have a slight grasp on what they are supposed to be. In my perception, they are an amalgam of concepts with a single base theme or Saint Graph.
So yeah, it was scary at first, and seeing my current results, I'm not coming near that Class for now.

I did too with very minimal jp, and still confused. Actually, even in English I didn't fully grasp how Magecraft works from the VN.
I'm just dumb.
You're making me doubt about if it was fine to make Zayd an Alter Ego instead of leaving him as an Assassin

I don't believe a relatively obscure figure from the 13th century should have stats on the level of Heracles (unless Mad Enhancement is already factored in, in which case the stats are about right). Other than that, the sheet's fine. I also feel that if Tyrfing fluctuates in rank, it might start at B+ instead of A+, enhancement from berserking be damned.
Nice to see a Servant who doesn't really like being called a Servant.
Agantyr: Good sheet. But I agree with Shiki-pon on the stats. A little too high for an obscure legend, unless this is with Mad Enhancement factored in. Other than that, it's a good sheet.
Agantyr: Additionally, I think the Luck Parameter is a tad too high for an owner of Tyrfing, an accursed blade that caused a ton of misfortune for the guy's lineage. Probably reduce it to at least C-rank (counting Mad Enhancement).
The Act of dozing off in the afternoon is a luxury indeed.
Coffee would be nice, though.

GRAIL WISH: To see the world unified under one true religion, peaceful and happy under God’s eye; the idyllic world before YHWH’s Revelation
Class Skills:
Territory Creation — D
The ability to claim an area for the Servant’s personal use, reshaping it to serve their own purposes. At this rank, Caster may claim a small area — likely not much more than a single room — and transform it into his personal library. Mana regeneration is slightly increased inside of the library, and it is unusually hard for others to recall where it is after leaving it.
Caster was not known for being territorial in life, but was definitely secretive, and once owned the greatest library in all Britain. The ways his magic affects his personal territory reflect that.
Item Creation — C+
The ability to construct objects through magic, mundane or otherwise. Caster can create quite useful jack-of-all-trades Mystic Codes from glass and crystal, and — although he specializes in ritual equipment, such as crystal balls — can, as an example, easily produce a reasonably durable knife from a few shards of glass, empowering a mundane Master as well as a magical one. Additionally, with use of his Alchemy, Caster can produce a reasonably wide array of potions for his own use and that of his Master.
Caster was known to possess an interest in (and actually possess, near the end of his life) the obsidian mirrors used by the Aztecs to commune with their Gods; he spent several years of his life learning how to replicate the Mesoamerican Mystic Codes, and the skill has stayed with him in death.
Personal Skills:
Language of Gods (False) — C
A Skill denoting fluency in the Language of Gods, present in human knowledge only at the literal beginning of history; a language that speaks through Concepts, not words that name them, and can be heard by even those who cannot hear. In this case, however, the language being spoken is a bastardization of the Divine Tongue, one that must be spoken aloud and which cannot be understood by animals, nature or those of Divine heritage.
At this rank, Caster is reasonably proficient inunderstanding the grammar and possessing a decent vocabulary; he can give orders, but will slip up if confronted with long sentences. The charismatic effect of the language is not as strong with him as it would be with someone of Primeval History, who speaks the true Language of Gods.Enochiana False Language of Gods,
In life, Caster and his servant (later Mortal Enemy) discovered hints towards the written glyphs of the Language of Gods; Caster’s servant, however, deliberately botched the translation, beginning a downward spiral that would lead to their eventual fight and separation.
Magecraft — B
A Skill denoting proficiency in Magecraft, the attempt by Humanity to replicate Magic through use of Magic Circuits. Despite Caster’s low Magical parameter, he is quite skilled at Alchemy, the art of converting and reshaping matter, and Scrying, the art to predict the future through subtle tells in nature and certain tricks with Magecraft. In conjunction with Item Construction, permits the concoction of many wonderful potions to enhance Caster and his Master's parameters, heal wounds and provide other miscellaneous benefits, although not enough to raise the other Skill's rank to B.
In life, Caster was a known occultist and talented astronomer, even advising the Queen of England with predictions from the latter at one time. As a Heroic Spirit, not much has changed.
Information Erasure — D
The ability to erase evidence of a Servant’s True Name after the end of an engagement. Knowledge of the Servant’s Skills, Noble Phantasm and even appearance may be hard to retain after combat finishes, depending on the Luck of the person trying to remember; the Noble Phantasm, particularly, will not remain in one’s mind for long. However, this does not affect those with Skills based around memory, nor does it erase evidence deliberately provided by Caster.
In life, Caster was infamously secretive, to the point of nearly being executed at one point due to simple suspicion. Although his life is not exactly wrapped in Mystery, it is enough that he remains secretive in death.
NOBLE PHANTASM
Obsidian SpeculumTruth of Heaven: Behold The Divine Verities!
Rank: B
Anti-Group
Range: 1~20
Max. Targets: 30
An obsidian mirror that reflects nothing at all. When Caster invokes its True Name, it begins to reflect, reflecting all light cast upon it back to its source (amplified to be blinding) and revealing the terrifying visage of an Aztec God, inducing heavy fear-based mental interference and severely disorientating anyone who looks too closely into the mirror. Magic Resistance and similar Skills might lower the impact of the Noble Phantasm somewhat, but anything short of Rank A will experience some disorientation regardless of the Skill's rank.
The true power of this Noble Phantasm, however, comes when Caster looks into it. If a drop of blood is spilt unto the mirror before its name is invoked, then it will be like a window, letting Caster observe the Concepts making up reality - or, at least, the Concepts making up the things he's looking at. This allows him to discern the True Name of any being, and see weaknesses that even the person themself may not be aware of. A Skill like Information Erasure will force him to make a Luck roll before discerning the True Name, however, and his Luck is terrible enough that he's not likely to bypass such a Skill.
Near the end of his life, Caster acquired the simple obsidian mirror in hopes of communicating with a Divine Spirit. It failed, but he discovered it to be a Mystic Code of great power nonetheless; he used it in conjunction with a crystal ball to perceive the truth of his relationship with his servant, which directly led into their confrontation, battle and separation.

Old soul. Where are you going, old soul?行人腕弛い。どこに行きません、行人腕弛い?
Well, I saw them as two different skills, with different effects (well, Golden Rule doesn't have a clear effect). Well, I may trade Golden Rule for Self-Modification/Shapeshift (for transforming her mermaid tail to legs) or maybe Innocent Monster. I hope it is visible the Black Lagoon reference (even in the NP name), since they said that the monster of movie was inspired by an "amazon creature", even referenced by the Shape of Water. This Servant was initially from my plan of doing a Wolf-man, Mummy and Gill-man sheets to complete with Dracula (Vlad) and Frankenstein.
Well, I had it started, I just needed to finish it. And thank you for the feedback!
Just wanted to give it a shoutout to Pinetree's Dumont.Dumont was one of those brazilian guys that I've always struggled on how to translate in a concrete idea and I think you did a really good job with it. Ever since your Tiradentes, I really do think you're the best guy here when it comes to making our compatriots into Servants. Really love the Noble Phantasms, though I feel the rank between those two should've been traded.
I'm really curious if you had any idea for a possible Emperor Dom Pedro II sheet. He is, as far i'm concerned, the Holy Grail when it comes to Brazilian servants. I've had some ideas on writing a Brazilian centered Holy Grail fic (that you can read in the Create-a-holy-grail thread), and of course Pedro II was one of the first guys i've laid my eyes on and i've spent so much time reading about him just to begin to think about writing a sheet about him, but I've never felt ready to even begin writing said sheet. He is such a complex but somewhat lowkey character I can never feel comfortable trying to write him so I just end up putting other sheets in front of him as in some way I really want to write him at my absolute best. So i'm just wondering if you ever tried him?
The question really is to everyone who has tried to write a BR sheet tbh
