By the way, did anyone get the implication that the sword in Heikegani's Equipment section was meant to be Kusanagi, lost at sea alongside Emperor Antoku? If it's too subtle, I can always edit to make the connection more obvious...

So is it voting time yet?
ok fighting for 2nd and 3rd place.
Be sliced by the blades of summer snow, fragile thing..
I feel like I should pour more effort and just fuck these 'compact sheet' bullshit I trying to do. Gotta stick to what I do the best, long bullshit.
But whatever, time to voty-voty-vote:
3pts: Jade Rabbit; very cute and taking the phrase 'saving the best for the last' too literally
2pts: Harambe; Fuck You
1pt: Sigmund; I love the first NP, definitely make a good scene
Honorable Mention: Crab Samurai, "Wukong", Archaeopteryx
Though I generally dislike nameless Servants, I like Crab Samurai idea, very standout amidst sapient animal sheets, definitely my favorite if we talking about the general concept alone. The NP as a crab exoskeleton is fun and not OP like other thousand Emiya copy pasta. But I feel like the Crab itself is underutilized aside from the NP and the Skills turnout to be a little generic samurai skill (Bushido Code, in particular).
The other two is my 2nd and 3rd before Sigmund and Jade Rabbit changes my mind.

3 Points: Jade Rabbit. On top of being a really interesting sheet, I've a personal love for undying loyalty as a character trait and the sheet itself really got that loyalty across in the descriptions for the mechanical stuff as well as the personality and lore bits.
2 Points: Six Eared Macaque. Something about the sheet just clicked with me, probably the Dragon Ball-ness of it, while somehow managing to be serious. His personality was also fairly interesting, being a solid contrast to Sun Wukong even though we don't have Wukong in Fate. Even though he's supposed to be the Vegeta to Wukong's Goku, I feel like a "KORE DE OWARI DA!" wouldn't have gone astray in that relationships tab.
1 Point: The Kraken. Not sure what to throw down here but that NP is really ominous and cool and also very well thought out. the Viking Berserker connection is also cool and I didn't know about that connection before.
wow, first time I almost get a vote

I also see what everyone meant about Heikegani being too "generic samurai"-esque (I even said as such in my author's note for him). I just wasn't sure how to make him more then that.

This was a really good prompt this time around. So much flexing of creative muscles.

List of Servants I've made
I might have put more bias towards good characterizations...
3pts - Six-Eared Macaque by zikari8
This one took the top score for me, even more than Yù Tù. As it was a mix of the idea, execution and other reasonings with this guy. To me, the Macaque serves as a good foil to the Monkey King, in both strength and mentality; and to call them "Goku and Vegeta" would've been a fairly decent comparison. Although somewhat bland, the Skills somehow works in making it feel like they are poor imitations to that of the Monkey King's. One highlight is because of the lower rank in Chinese Martial Arts, Lancer is still versatile enough to incorporate new moves from other Servants. But the best part is arguably the exploration into Lancer's character, as this interpretation of him desiring companionship rather than imitating Wukong kind of hit me personally.
All in all, I felt it deserved the three points.
2pts - Yù Tù by Sunny
Like I mentioned beforehand, this sheet is Great. Adorable personality, Skills tailored to the character and the selfless nature behind her NP was the cherry on top. As I loved to listen to both Chang'e and Yù Tù's legends as a kid, I kind of fell in love with the concept as a whole. Pretty much the sentiment that was shared by others.
Someone stop Sunny she’s too stronk
1pt - Zhu Bajie by Fabuzer
Honestly, the 2pts section was tied between this and Yù Tù. Sadly, Yù Tù won out in terms of creative NP and the unique Skills. However, this doesn’t mean I dislike it; for one, what I especially liked was his personality: a man(?) who didn’t find enlightenment through the Saver, but via ages of wandering and experiencing life. And combined with the great fc, it gives Bajie this vibe of some self-satisfaction.
6 Meme pts - Harambe by You
He died for our sins
Honorable Mentions: Heikegani (NP was cool, but too much samurai than crab), Urvögel (Sorry Wren, this is the true King(?) of Birds), Slephnir (‘Destructive Majesty’ personified), Ratatosk (Use of Rumor to incite heaven and earth was pretty clever)

The Act of dozing off in the afternoon is a luxury indeed.
Coffee would be nice, though.

3 points: Harambe
Sorry, but i have to do this. I got tired of Harambe jokes a long time ago, so I was pleasantly surprised when something serious and so fleshed out was made.
2 points: Pentheus
There's nothing particularly amazing in this sheet, but the Skills and Noble Phantasm are definitely excellent.
1 point: Yu Tu
Like many here, I consider this sheet amazing. However, I wanted to stick with the most "animal-like" Servants during voting, although I believe it deserved more.
I don’t know if I’ll have the time to do proper commentary so I’ll just do the points:
3 pts- Yu Tu by Sunny
2 pts- Sigmund by SleepMode
1 pt- Harambe

Heh, looks like my lack of confidence in Reynard was well-founded. Ah well, the sheet is rather boring - I can recognise that. I'm still not very good at adding and developing the personality or lore stuff for the sheets yet and in this case I rather rushed it, so its just... not interesting enough to be talked about. I'll have to try harder next time, I suppose.
3: Sigmund
2: Beast of Gévaudan
1: Coulter
My votes go the doggos, but I also liked Wren, 'Fake Sun Wukong', Zhu Bajie, Kraken, Basava/Nandi and Yù Tù
K-Kya, I'm surprisedliked Lancer that much. She was going to be the support/focus ally in the CAS story I was drafting, but what with being in an RP and time constraints, I don't know if/when that'll happen. So I'm happy to see she would have gotten a nice reception. ^^ Even if confused why, um.anyonepeople
As for my votes, I'll edit in the rationale during a train ride later tonight, but...
3 points: Harambe
2 points: Sleipnir
1 point: Pentheus
Honorable Mentions:
- Heikegani
- Sigmund
- Zhu Bajie
@pinetree Whoops, yeah, that's my misconception. Ah well. I didn't give her Insanity because I thought more skills might be a bit too much for her and I didn't have a good idea of its effects anyways. Her being a woman first was just kind of an arbitrary choice I guess.
My own votes;
3pts - Urvögel
2pts - Sigmund
1pt - Reynard
I like Ratatoskr and Heikagani, too.
And yet, she folded it a hundred times.
Even though I still got only one actual vote, I'm flattered that so many people included me in their honorary mentions this time.
