Can ride anything up to the level of phantasmal and divine beasts, but this does not apply to Dragons.
Personal Skills:
Charisma: (B)

Resistance to Heavens: (A)
Given to those who could fight on par with a divine warrior, but had no divinity themselves, this grants him slight boost against Servants with Divinity and its effect increases the higher rank of divinity his enemy has and vice versa.

Brief Backround: His Childhood was simmilar to Oda nobunaga, A highly rebellious child, He rebelled against his father because his brother was to be named the next head of the clan, And he succeded. as he grew he pursued a pabbajja life of a buddhist, So he was given the name of Takeda Shingen, He gained his fame after Practically inventing the Cavalry Charge In japan, And during the sengoku Period Takeda Cavalries were the most powerful in all of japan.
His life Came to an end in 1572, During his final battle, But the exact circumstances of his death arent known Some say he died of an infection, Other that say that an Oda Shinobi assassinated him.
On the matter of holy grail: A wish must be earned by the actions of man and a mere item cannot grant it!! No matter how holy or divine it is.

Uh sorry dude, no Furinkazan NP? That is the most famous Shingen's thing.
To be honest i wanted him to be more realistic rather than legendary kinda like Iskander, So his symbolic war fan and his OP-plz nerf cavalry is what i went with.
thanks for the complimenting his skill though

Caster wouldn't hate Cortes as he would likely see what Cortes did as punishment from the gods for continuing the sin full act of human sacrifice, he would also like his hi table personality, but would hate his willingness to war and counquer and his greed and would confront Cortes about it and the two might have battle of ideals and Cortes might be highly offended being called a weapon of Aztec gods so the battle would go on for some time with neither side able to gain any headway, since no amount of magic can destroy his a a NP it would really come down to if Cortes were able to get close and use physical strikes. Thou the battle is almost guaranteed to end in a stale mate.
This is actually a pretty good servant sheet.
How do you think he'll react to my Hernan Cortes?
Wait, wait, wait...
Ce Acatl Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl was "Toltec"...whose nation/culture was dead and gone for centuries by the time the Aztecs even showed up.
The Aztecs may have claimed a connection to their predecessor civilizations in an attempt for legitimacy (they didn't by the way) but Ce Acatl Topiltzin should care exactly jack and shit about what happened to the Aztecs.
This is like asking Rameses II whether what happened to the Ptolomaic Dynasty bothered him. Actually there's even less connection than that.

Maybe thats as a heroic spirit. On one hand its all historicaly accurate expect gender and appearance.
On the other hand you can have Takeda shingen And John III Sobieski swearing rivalry to each other and charging at each other with army noble phantasms to see who is the best rider.
I mean its nasu logic.

Sure there is that...and there are situations like the time that this one guy in my tabletop group who, when describing a NPC in a game he was hosting, wonderfully put it "This man was Asian, he's speaking Asian"...
In his defense he was very sleep deprived at the time.

He was made more famous by Aztecs so it's kinda simler to corruption he sees the Aztecs as the same as to Tolkien, and even identifies as Aztec as he just sees them as another name for Tolkien so Aztecs, so yes he does care about teh Aztecs, but thx for reminding me I need to change Aztec magecraft to Tolkien magecraft.
So, just on a whim I decided to give a spelling check to Venomking's Acatl sheet. Normally I wouldn't bother, but since its actually fairly decent otherwise I'd hate for it to get buried in a murk of typographical errors.
Also, note that this only includes spelling errors. There's still a lot of run-on sentences and commas that really should be periods, but to be honest correcting all those would probably take me all day.

"Everyone has a Fate. A drama without a script. What about you Master? Are you in control of yours?"
True Name: Natsume Sōseki
Title: "Literary Master of Japan"
Origin: Historical
Region: Japan (19th Century)
Catalyst: A 1000 Note with his face on it
Armament: Pens (They are mightier than the sword)
Alignment: True Neutral
Likes: Cycling, Reading
Dislikes: Criticism, Unfinished Business
Talents: Languages, Poetry
Natural Enemy: The British
Personality:
Natsume is very much aware of his talent and success, to the point of narcissistically demanding his Master refer to him as only "Sensei". He would even flamboyantly declare his own name to his enemies. However, he is loathe to do anything resembling actual work and would rather laze around doing nothing than fight - he doesn't even have a wish upon the Grail as he is satisfied that he wasn't forgotten over the years. His only redeeming quality is that he never forgets his debts, and if his Master helps him to finish his unfinished work "Light and Darkness" then he would do everything in his power to help them.
Item Construction: (No Rank)
It is the Skill to manufacture magical items, from implements of war to items for daily use. Also, this Skill requires time to gather components and manufacture items. However at the cost of acquiring the "Kokoro" Noble Phantasm, this Skill is lost.
Territory Creation: (C)
It is the Skill to build a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus, such as for the purpose of collecting mana. Natsume does not make a Workshop but rather a 'Study', where he can spin stories that give his "Kokoro" Noble Phantasm a plus modifier while inside.
Personal Skills:
Eye for Art (B)
The infatuation with works of art. Natsume became a Professor of literature at the Tokyo Imperial University where he taught literary theory and literary criticism. If he happens to see a Noble Phantasm that possess literary anecdotes, there is a high chance that he might be able to figure out its true name.
High-Speed Incantation (E)
The ability to speak magical incantations at an accelerated speed. As he was not a Magus, instead of spell recitation, Natsume instead writes at intense speed allowing him to write out entire sentences in a second. This plays a large part in his "Kokoro" Noble Phantasm. His hands are just about the only thing about this man that knows the concept of "haste".
Human Observation (A)
A technique to observe and understand people. At this point it is no longer simple observation but seeing straight through people, revealing their personalities and intentions. Just one glance is enough to determine whether a person is an enemy or not and can even see past any attempts at physical disguise. He gained this high a Rank via learning from a certain English Detective while living in London in exchange for teaching the Gentleman the art of Baritsu.
Noble Phantasms:
Wagahai - I am a Cat (C) [Anti - Unit]
A power that allows him to transform himself into a Calico cat called "Wagahai". All abilities are sealed but ones presence as a Servant is completely erased as well so this form is suitable for spying...or just lazing about the town when he can't be bothered to fight. But wait, if he doesn't actually have any magical power is he really turning into a cat or...?
Kokoro - Sensei's Testament (C) [Anti - Unit]
Words have power, especially in the hands of a "Literary Master" like Natsume. This Noble Phantasm takes the form of a very special pen that any words written by it will produce a certain wavelength. Anyone who gazes upon these words will have these wavelengths transmitted to their brain and will feel a strong compulsion to follow what they say. These can range from simple commands like "X cannot move" to more complicated ones like "Standing on the floor causes you intense pain so you must stay off it". Obviously there are limits to such commands - they have to be easily understandable, they cannot make the target do anything physically impossible for them, nor say anything that they themselves do not know etc etc. Since it's not the result of magecraft, magic resistance cannot defend against it. But rather the target's mental strength will determine whether or not they are able to break free from the spell. Much more potent against enemy Masters as Heroic Spirits aren't typically weak of will.
Light and Darkness - This is what I saw in my Dream (A) [Anti - Army]
A book of unfinished dreams. This book creates a wide Bounded Field which puts everyone caught in it into a deep slumber. Everyone affected finds themselves in a shared dream taking place in a shadowy nightmare version of wherever the Bounded Field was set up. Natsume then appears before them all and declares that he has hidden said book, called "Light and Darkness" within the area and that it is the key to their salvation. The books contains the ongoing adventure of those trapped inside the NP...save for the final page which is blank and writing a happy end where you escape will end the nightmare. To find the book, one must solve a series of riddles, each one's answer pointing to the location of the next until the tenth and final riddle's solution reveals the location of the book. Since this is a dream, all powers of both Humans and Servants are sealed, thus giving everyone a fair chance to win. However, the dream only lasts an hour and anyone who does not escape in time will never wake up again. It's a race against both time and the other dreamers, as whoever gets to the books first has the power to control who wakes up - everyone or just themselves. This Noble Phantasm is a huge gamble for Natsume as it represents his inability to finish his masterpiece before his death, and should even a single person escape the dream then this Noble Phantasm will take his life as forfeit.
Lore:
Born in 1867 to a family that didn't want him. Nevertheless he tried his best in his studies and attended Tokyo Imperial University and even went to study in Great Britain as "Japan's first Japanese English literary scholar". Upon returning to Japan in 1903, he began to contribute haiku, renku, haitaishi and literary sketches to literary magazines before embarking on his satirical novel I Am a Cat in 1905 that won him wide public admiration as well as critical acclaim. From then on, he started writing one novel a year until his untimely death from a stomach ulcer in 1916, leaving his final novel "Light and Darkness" unfinished.
***
Creator's Notes:
Hmm...yet another Caster that wasn't a mage in life. I seem to have a thing for these. Anyway, this way a quick sheet I knocked up in a couple of hours. I got the inspiration for this one from a series called "Bungou Stray Dogs" which is all about people based on famous authors with superpowers themed after their works. Natsume Sōseki was a recent character to be revealed and he was so awesome that I just had to put him in Servant format. Somehow a bit of Rohan Kishibe seems to have made its way into the sheet from the personality to one of the NPs. Huh, looking back on the sheet, despite being a "Caster" Natsume works a lot like an "Assassin" in combat, especially if he cleverly uses his Wagahai and Kokoro NPs. As always, comments and criticisms are welcome. ^_^
"Here's a bangin lil' tune about takin' on The Man!"
(Check out my Super Special Awesome Servant Compendium here)
Riding (A+): Can use Phantasmal and Divine Beasts as mounts.
Magic Resistance (C): Cancels spells two verses or shorter.
Personal Skills
Divinity (C+): As a Roman Emperor, Rider and his family received divine status. Rider himself is granted a high rank due to
his syncretism with the god he is named after. He also had a habit of commissioning paintings of himself and then draping
them over statues of gods and goddesses, particularly Victoria, so that those who made offerings to the gods were in fact
making offerings to him. Rider insists that his high rank comes from his pure physical perfection.
Golden Rule (Debauchery) (A): Rider possesses a natural and perfect god-like body, though it does not alter his parameters.
Unlike other excessively attractive heroes, Rider takes this a step further. In combat, he appears muscular, clad in armor,
the quintessential Roman soldier. Out of combat, he appears more slender and feminine. Either way, he oozes raw sex appeal
no matter who he interacts with. Rider was most famous for his sexual antics, abandoning himself to the grossest pleasures,
even to the point of prostituting himself to both men and women in his own palace.
Imperial Privilege (A): The ability to, at Rider's insistence, demonstrate skills that would normally be impossible for
him to possess. At such a high rank, even skills inherent to the body such as Divinity can be gained. As a Roman Emperor
and the head priest and avatar of Baal, Rider was tantamount to a god, especially in his head. Rider's skills include
Riding, Charisma, Divinity, Military Tactics, Eternal Arms Mastership, Protection of the Faith, and Seduction.
Equipment: Rider's claim to his class is his chariot, a tall throne on wheels, surrounded by gilded shields. It is pulled
by six massive, pure white horses. Decked with every precious metal Rider can get his hands on, it is a formidable tool
of war and a luxurious vehicle for his pleasure. When he is in a particularly good mood, the chariot can be seen rolling
languidly down the road, flanked by two dozen men and women, dancing naked and throwing flower petals.
Noble Phantasms
Elagabalium~Marriage to Minerva (B+, Support)
Named for the grand temple Rider built to El-Gabal. However, in order to legitimize the worship of his patron as the first and
foremost god of Rome, he declared El-Gabal was to marry, taking Minerva as his consort. As the avatar of the new head god, Rider
is able to "appropriate" his "wife's" armaments as his own. In combat, Rider manifests Minerva's armor, shield and spear, all of
which are powerful god-forged Noble Phantasms in their own right. As if this weren't powerful enough, Rider can extend this to
"appropriate" the Noble Phantasms of any Servant that he defeats and declares to be his husband or wife. Rider will most likely
refrain from doing so unless he meets an opponent he deems worthy of joining his harem. Given his sordid lifestyle, there is no
limit to how many "spouses" he can have at one time. The restrictions are that the subjugated Servant must be kept alive to use
their weapons, and that he can only "marry" Servants who possess Divinity. Rider claims that this restriction exists to ensure
his unions only produce the most god-like children, but it's really a mental block created by his own narcissism.
Baetylus of El-Gabal~Meteorite Chariot of the Undefeated Sun (B+, Support, Anti-Army)
The most holy relic of the Syrian god El-Gabal was a black meteorite fragment carved into the shape of a sun. Every chance Rider
got, he paraded this stone, the earthly representation of his patron deity, around Rome as part of lavish celebrations. Rider was
posthumously named after El-Gabal, and thus the activation of this Noble Phantasm transforms his skin into jet black armor. While
in this form, Rider is immobile but virtually indestructible. To compensate for this, he uses his chariot as transport. If moving
at great speed, Rider can dismiss his chariot and use his momentum to carry himself forward. Compressing the air in front of him,
he becomes a superheated living bullet that slams into his target. This attack is highly destructive, but inaccurate.
Background
Elagabalus was Roman Emperor from 218 to 222 BCE. His regnal name was Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus, but after his death he
was called Elagabalus after the Syrian sun god, of whom he was a priest.
In 217, Caracalla, the Roman Emperor and cousin to Elagabalus' mother, was assassinated by the commander of his Praetorian Guard,
Marcinus. During his brief reign, Elagabalus' mother and grandmother began plotting and using what little wealth they had to sway
the Army and the Senate into supporting the fourteen year old as the true Emperor.
Before the title could be officially transferred, the youth held a triumphant parade as he entered the city of Rome, in a massive
chariot flanked by dozens of naked women. To help Romans adjust, paintings of Elagabalus were draped over the statues of Victoria,
placing senators in the awkward position of making offerings to the Emperor while the made offerings to Victoria and other gods.
It was when the senators and the commanders of the army met the Emperor that his eccentricities became apparent. Obsessed with sex and
decadence, he pushed even more boundaries when he declared El-Gabal as head of the Roman pantheon. The god was renamed Deus Sol
Invictus and married to Minerva. Furthermore, he forced senators to attend worship ceremonies of the sun god as he danced around the
altars. During such festivities, the sacred stone of El-Gabal was placed in a chariot and paraded around the city. All of Rome's most
sacred artifacts were transferred to the Elagbalium, the temple that housed the stone.
Elagabalus' reign was rife with sex scandals. He married and divorced five women, one of whom was a virgin priestess of Vesta. His
reasoning was that they would produce god-like children, and pardoned her for breaking her vow of celibacy. However, historians
tell us that his more stable relationships were ones with men, including slaves and athletes. He would also paint his eyes, have
all his body finely plucked, wear wigs, and then prostitute himself in taverns, brothels and the Imperial palace.
After four years of this shit the Emperor slowly began to lose favor with the army and the Praetorian Guard. The final straw was
Elagabalus' blatant attempts to undermine and assassinate his heir, his cousin, Severus Alexander. After inventing a rumor that
Alexander was dying, the Praetorian Guard rioted and demanded to see Elagabalus and Alexander both. Upon their arrival the Guard
cheered for Alexander and ignored Elagabalus. He responded by ordering the arrest and execution of those who were insubordinate,
and was promptly surrounded and stabbed to death.

"We don't need martyrs right now. We need heroes. A hero would die for his country, but he'd much rather live for it." -Josiah Bartlet
Elagabalus: Marrying his opponents and then using their NPs as his own. Truly the greatest harem protagonist. *shot*
Seriously though, that's a pretty cool Servant. I especially like how you made his second NP more then just a generic "flaming chariot charge", like I saw for one other Elagabalus sheet.
- - - Updated - - -
I just noticed one point of critique though; I don't think he needs Divinity as well as Imperial Privilege, since the justification for it (I'm a god because I say so) is pretty much already covered by the latter Skill. Especially since Nero and Caligula were both emperors famous for deifying themselves and yet had their respective divinities folded under IP, it feels odd that he'd have the Skill on its own.
Good sheet, but I think there's some things worth commenting about.
Riding : I think it's too high, but then i realized that it's probably because of his... errr 'other' riding skill ( ͡ ͜ʖ ͡)
Divinity : This is probably too high. Even Caesar--who is said to be Venus' descendant, and is more famous compared to this guy--only has D-rank
Imperial Privilege : This is also too wanked up. Seriously, the same rank as Romulus?
2nd NP : I suggest lowering the rank, it's not that impressive compared to other A+ ranked NPs, it also needs more description or limitations if you insist to keep its rank.
Imperial Privilege : This is also too wanked up. Seriously, the same rank as Romulus?
I was about to comment that just about everyone and their mother had Imperial Privilege at rank EX, but looking back it does appear that only Nero and Romulus had it at that rank. Even Caligula, who was about as famous for deifying himself as Nero, only had it at rank A. So ThirtyFour may have a point... (And I'll consider lowering the IP rank of another Roman emperor sheet I have in the works...)
